Pure Awesomenessness

I am very excited because I learned that Phil Wickham, David Crowder, and Eleventyseven are all in the studio! Sweet!! I found David Crowder's youtube account and they are filming every day of the recording which rocks and the videos are hilarious. So, yeah just a little update.

Disneyland Magic

So, today my dad, Traci, Bekah, and I went to, as the title states, Disneyland. It was really weird without my brothers because the whole time my dad and Traci were like newly-weds(that's the best way I can describe it). Now, that wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the fact that they have been married for almost ten years. The other reason why today was so odd, was because for some reason Bekah, who hates me by the way, kept clinging onto me. It was like

Traci: Oh, we should ride...

Bekah: I wanna ride with Greg!

Traci: Yeah and then we could ride...

Bekah: I wanna ride with Greg!!

Dad: Ok, then we should head on over to...

Bekah: I wanna hold Greg's hand!!!

Me: WHAT THE HECK?? WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO TO ME??!

And then by the time we were in the car, she wanted to rip my head off again. It was like the magic of Disneyland(lol).

Just wondering

I know it was last week, but i've been thinking about Easter a lot. I just want to know at what point Easter got so out of hand. Easter is about Jesus coming to earth just be brutally beaten and killed as punishment for our mistakes. And yet, we turned it into a rabbit giving out colored eggs.

WHAT???!!! A RABBIT?!

After what He did for us, we celebrate a rabbit and a man in red. I was just wondering what lunatic thought that up. Did it happen gradually, or did some guy just think it up one day? I don't know, just wondering.

Nothin' Day

As you probably(hopefully) know, this is Easter Weekend! Yesterday was Good Friday and I always wondered why it was called that. Good Friday is the day of Jesus' death, not his ressurection. I mean yeah there is very good reason that he died and he died for a purpose, but it just seems like we are celebrating the death itself. Anyway, tomorrow is Easter, and i'm not sure what today is called. I think i'll call it the Nothin' day because nothin' happened today. Yesterday was the death, tomorrow is the ressurection, and today is nothin'. So, HAPPY NOTHIN' DAY!!

Huzzah!

Ok, so taday i've been listening to Thousand Foot Krutch while boucing off the walls just because I can. For those of you who don't know, I havn't slept since thursday night because I had this insane stomach ache and was poppin' in Tums like nobody's business. And it is finally gone!

Proverbs 18:10 says "The name of the lord is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe."(and so is my stomach lol)

Crysalis

So, I spent this weekend at a retreat called Crysalis. The whole theme is that we arrive as caterpillars, spend the weekend in a cocoon, and on Sunday emerge as butterflies. At times it was a little weird, but it was a lot of fun, I made a lot of friends, and I grew in faith. One particular thing that I thought was really weird at first was the fact that we couldn't know what time it was. Whenever anyone would ask how much time we had for a break or what not, they would get a simple reply of two fingers separated and the sizes would vary depending on how much time we had. At times this would cause a lot of confusion, but I learned to actually enjoy not knowing what time it was. I believe that sometimes people are too caught up in time and "anticipate rather than participate." Another cool thing about the weekend was the fact that they completely STUFF YOUR FACE WITH FOOD! Seriously, I am still full!

On another note, I finally got "Fangs!" by Falling Up an I have to say that I don't really like it. I spent all that time wanting it and I don't even like it. First of all, the entire album is in chronological order of some Greek myth about some kids from a tribe being shot with poison arrows and this guy traveling to Neptuen to see what happened.In my book that's a little creepy. Not to mention the music itself isn't even that good. I am a huge fan of Falling Up, but this album is horrible. I just can't get into it no matter how hard I try. So, sorry to hype you up and then tear you down, but that is my opinion on it. Maybe you are into that sort of thing in which case you should definately get it, but I just hate the whole CD. On a happier note, the new Red album "Innocence and Instinct" is really good. It's my brother's CD so I haven't heard it all but what I have heard rocks! One of the songs from it is on my playlist so rock on!

I'm back!

First of all, my blogger name is a little long and very odd. This is because Every time I typed in a name, it had been taken so I went with the most out-there name that I could think of. Plus, I never thought i'd actually blog, but i've given into peer pressure and started up again.

I also added some pretty sweet christian music and if you don't like it, you can either suck it up and listen to it, get off my blog, or simply click the pause button(probably that last one).

Now, onto the actual blogging part. Today the new Falling Up album "Fangs" came out and i've been saving the date(and my money) for about a month now. My dad and I decided that we should buy the CD right after my eye appointment. I had my check-up and needless to say, my eyes ROCK, so we headed over to Living Water and all they had was a measly shelf of CDs, so we went to the Family Christian Bookstore in Clairemont which is usually my "go-to place" for all things christian and they didn't have it either. I ended up ordering it from Amazon and getting the two day shipping, meaning i'll have to wait until I get back from my mom's house next Friday to actually listen to it...
