This is the Great Adventure?

I planned on listening to the great adventure by steven cutis chapman while i wrote this but i dont have it "saddle up your horses....." so i will listen to coldplay, Hyperboles version of "the great adventure" and angles and airwaves "the adventure" subsequently this will probably be a fairly long post... if you get thru it then you have to do the game at the bottom otherwise dont even bother because i will probably put it on facebook.

As i was boarding the train to go do something that is not at all my hearts desire I felt the overwhelming emotions that traveling gives me.... its crazy to me how something that litterally is one of the reasons my heart keeps beating when done to get to a situation you arent entirely happy about can make you hate it.. but at the same time long for the day that you travel for the sake of everything good in life again. I know God has a plan and in the end He will get the glory through it all so of that i am excited.... but oh boy to touch lives through music and interaction again... it will be great.

When i got on my first car i was one of the last two people on the train. a scruffy old man with a beer belly and a shirt that may have been a little too small and me. the car was full so we were sent down to the bottom level to sit in a more secluded spot equally comfortable but a bit more secluded. the man looked across the isle to me gave me the thumbs up and went to sleep the whole time most of his belly shown and that thing stared me in the face and jiggled the whole way to chicago. there was a couple a row ahead of me the lady had a very petite voice and when she finally stood up i was shocked to see she was a giant.... like the female version of yao ming only she was white and didnt play basketball. She outsized the man by a large margin but sometimes im shorter then my fiance so i cant talk.....im gonna miss her for this short time.........

Next i sat in chicago for 3 hours and it was horrible lots of poop.... i think thats all that needs to be said about chicago...

The next and last train i am currently on and i have had a few different neighbors and i will only talk about the first one.... i walk to my seat and pass a man who looks like he would be a techy geeky dude, he was listening to music in head phones dancing in his seat and singing it was pretty funny i was into the fact that he was so free with showing his dancing talents shortly after the train started he started getting phone calls. He was nothing more then a cocky buisness man, after hearing him talk with his wife and children he called his buddies and continued to talk about how cool it was to cheat on his wife, and all the new women that he was "trying to get at" haha what a joke... he then made it very apparent how one of his favorite things in the world is class reunions and getting plastered... anyway i dont know why but this actually really upset me maybe because i was forced to sit and listen to all of his douchbaggeries. im good now he is gone and im almost at my stop. wow that was far too long.

Mostly i cant wait to be back on the open road playing music and doing what God made me to do........Help people! Its increasingly clear how amazing God and his plan for our lives is... and im thankful that i am a work in progress and Gods the artist

i decided to just put the game on facebook sorry if i tricked you into reading all this nonsense haha

till next time?

Tis So Sweet To Trust

Trust is not something you feel something you give.... not something you get and keep, something you maintain everyday. I had a friend tell me they didnt trust someone and it got me thinking about what trust actually is. Thats all for now any thing to add be my guest!

So they say

You hear things like "what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger" and "pain is only weakness leaving your body" and things along the lines of "failure breeds success."
Where in a way i believe those things can be true.. I really think...ok i guess i know that its very very important to realize that the way things are dealt with is the most important part of this puzzle. If a painful or life changing situation or a failure is dealt with in the wrong way it can be extremely disastrous to someones life, mentality and well being. In the same way if a painful or life changing situation and even a huge failure is dealt with in the right way and with wisdom (and at least from what i've found help from someone wiser and God) it can propel you forward to great success and joy and to things you never imagined where possible. i guess i had heard this a few two many times on tv and around so it made me want to address it on a blog just to read myself type haha.
goodnight

Spirit in the sky

Im blogging this 2 days after i actually wanted to... fooled myself once shame on me or something like that......maybe not. Anyway I was listening to a very inspiring message on sunday via Pastor Dave, and he told a story that prompted a great memory and an interesting topic. He was talking about a series of messages he gave, i think 6 or so, and the last one had an alter call and the Holy Spirit was moving strongly. he tripped up by the pulpit and he said people thought he was falling because of the spirit but really he just tripped. anyway i instantly thought of my wonderful friend jake roost. We were sitting in a service together where the pastor in the middle of his message stuttered.... i think we both just wrote it off as just what it was but the man stopped did the same exact thing and then continued to laugh for close to an hour literally walking thru the isles stopping looking people in the eyes and laughing at them until they laughed back, and i think he might of blown on a couple of people as well. anyway i dont think that jake was born with a volume control in quite settings like that (if for some reason you ever read this jake thats mostly i joke and i love you) but as the man was walking towards our row jake starts to say at a somewhat loud volume.... dude is he serious.... whats going on.... for real he better not laugh at me.... i seriously think i might punch him.... they should put this in the brochuer or something... tony im seriously leaving omg omg omg omg. I couldnt stop laughing and maybe they thought i was catching what was happening but ya it was very interesting and i love jake for the honesty and hilarity. All this being said im not saying that the dude was faking or that these types of things don't happen but im also not saying that its never fabricated. God can do what he wants and sometimes im willing to bet its radical.

Amazing Grace

I was thinking about when people say "Jesus completely changed my life" and how unbelievably true that is for me, and for every single person for that matter. Even someone who has grown up in the church or never really strayed. I know at least for me as I get to know Him more everyday and really learn more about Gods personality and what he wants out of my life, things change, and ideas change, and the core of who i am is moved and molded. In the past when i heard a testimony or evangelistic sermon that included a variant of (God completely changed my life), i would ignorantly think "that is amazing.... but God didn't do that for me and ill never be able to say that." In actuality He did and He does continually in a vast amount of ways, and i need it and love it every step of the way. I guess basically the thought that Jesus changed where my life would be headed, and is shaping me everyday is extremely comforting and without a doubt i can say Jesus completely changed my life and is doing so everyday! I count myself lucky to have friend who is and does so many things and so perfect at them all........ God is a multi- tasker!

until next time?

A Music Life Forever

Well im gonna try this blog thing because I rather enjoy writing and I rarely get to do it.... and i also have a few friends that i for some reason enjoy reading on this thing.

I love music! and i have been saying this to myself alot lately becuz i hear so much bad music that it tends to turn me off to wanting to hear music at all. I have always been inspired by big events that happen in my life or stories that make my heart melt. and the first thing that comes to my mind in either of these situations is a sound track.. which is part of the reason i love to write music and love to listen to songs that make me feel. It seems like there is soooo much garbage out there and i really truly wonder to myself what it is that people like about some of these artists and songs.. i mean i understand different people like different things...... or maybe i dont... ya i just dont get it.

All this being said i have recently been enjoying every aspect of music and looking forward to working on new hyperbole stuff with two guys that are very inspiring in my musical history and future. I really believe that these songs will change peoples hearts, which is the first and biggest reason that i love and write and make music. I have a Lord who completely amazes me everyday and my life would not be worth a shiny terd without Him....

Im not sure what to expect out of myself from this thing but i will see where it takes me if nothing else i know that i will have john and jacob to read maybe and this way we can share some of our experiences with each other....(i cant remember a time in my life when this was the only way to do so... )
seeeeeya
