So This Is The First
As I sit typing this in the basement of our new house Josh is playing guitar. Lately Josh and Ryan have been practicing almost everyday and they mesh together incredibly well. I can say that I'm very excited to see this band get off the ground. I feel that we all have enough focus and direction to understand what we want to do with a project such as this. In the last band Ryan and I were in we hadn't a clue what we were doing we just wanted to play shows no matter how we sounded our how we felt about the music we were creating. I can promise this band will not be like that.
I've also decided that I'm only going to allow myself to spend 60 dollars a week on essential things in order to save money for not only things I want to do in the summer such as Cornerstone and Sound and Fury in Valencia, CA but saving this money will also allow me to insure myself incase of something disasterous happens I can recover relatively unharmed, financially anyway.
On a completely different note, it has recently come to my attention that we must always believe in people. To believe in their inner strength and help them see how much courage they actually have. Sometimes I think people don't want to get out of hurtful situations because they have never seen another way. It breaks my heart to see how the words and actions of selfish individuals can leave someone with the thoughts that there is no escape. Oh and Larissa if you're reading this and I'm assuming you will here's something I wrote. I want some feedback please :)
In this life the one eyed lead the blind
But the best sighted amongst us can only see as far as their own face
This world makes us digest words with one syllable till we vomit hate and greed
Our legs are bruised from the weight of our hearts that drops us to our knees
A man once told me with sorrow in his eyes, “ I once had dreams, look where I am a dead end job and half my life spent wasted.”
We hide our fears, we hide our fears behind jokes and knowing smiles
I've learned never to feel contentment
and it's so hard to be trusting
When we were taught as children to pick up ledgers and spades
to cast stones the size of boulders
and sharpen our teeth to points
shoving our own hopes to the side
in the eyes of the world we are here only to live for our father's dreams
