    Say WHAAAT???

    Y'all ain't been commenting enough, AHHH!!! Maybe I just need to make more friends so I can get more comments... ok I'll try that.

    I've got a mission trip to go to this summer, to Tenessee to build houses, make a difference in people's lives in the name of Christ Jesus, I'm reaaally excited about this, especially the bus ride hehe... it's gonna be like a two day bus ride, WOOT!!! If you've ever been on one of those (a looong bus trip) with a large group of people, especially people that you know and love, you'll know just how fun it is.

    We're going to be rebuilding houses for a neighborhood for lower-income families, which means demolishing, throwing away the rubble, and rebuilding from scratch.

    LOTS of hard work, but it should be lots of fun at the same time, and knowing that through my service people may see just how sacrificial the love of Christ is, true love, the kind that is completely selfless, and gives more than what is asked, it's just awesome.

    Remember children: Life is good, eternal life is better.

    Bible stuff

     I am getting a new guitar amplifier for my birthday, HOPEFULLY. It would be really nice, at least... I've been playing on practice amps for 4 years now.

    Well, sometime soon, I'm gonna pick out one of my favorite Bible verses and write about it, and EDIT it into this blog, but I'm too lazy right now, and I want to go write some music on my guitar, and I'm just gonna leave this open for comments till I come up with something to write. Love you guys, thanks for reading.

    I posted an audio blog as well! Listen to it.

    Oh, and sorry about the echo on the blog, my pc was being weird...

  • I'm baaaack!!!

    I miss this thing! My xanga used to be my life. If you look back at all my old blogs, the ones about God, the ones that got so much attention, you'll see, I used to be loved! WOW! I know I am, but I miss being appreciated for my spiritual insight. I hope one day this site will be as active as it used to be.

    What a dream!

    I can't wait to get started back with my xanga, so please help me out, show some support, read what I posted yesterday so I can know if it doesn't suck.

    TO ALL MY JESUS FREAKS: HOLLA AT ME Y'ALL!!!

    Love you

    Six Feet of Equality

    Ch. 1

    Six Feet of Equality

    I feel warm as this liquid release we call sweat collects on my forehead and runs down my face, making frequent stops upon the ridges and inclines of this collection of muscles wrapped in blemished and imperfect skin.

    Complacency. It’s what I feel. When I think of how they see me, I think of a mirror. Rarely do I like what I see when I stare into it. Do they feel the same, I wonder? Does it matter? I swat the gnats from my eyebrows as my right and left brains debate over this once-difficult question, and eventually come to a conclusion.

    No.

    One day the flesh that contains all our imperfections will rot alongside the bodies of those that ridiculed. We will all taste the sting of death, and feel the great equalizer that lies six feet below the surface, where an army of dead wait in their slumber.

    Being at a funeral makes one think of such things, thoughts of sadness, of once happy memories, and then of the evanescence of it all, as you stare upon the lifeless and should-be decaying body that you came to mourn, one that would be rotting had it not been for the body being previously stuffed and soaked with all manner of chemicals in order to preserve the hollow shell before me that is turning respectable men into blubbering infants.

    Lifeless as it is, the still, inanimate body in front of me carries some emotional persuasion. It makes me feel as if I should re-evaluate my very existence. If I died today, would I be satisfied with the quiet murmurs of relatives and friends telling tales of times we “hung out“? Would I be satisfied to look down from Heaven above upon my friends and see that all my death had done was leave them in a pit of sadness? Of course not. My mind wanders… I start to imagine this situation becoming the “day of the living dead.” I’ve heard of resurrection, but only in the Bible, and as far as I know, none of us here at the funeral are the Son of God… they’ll just have to live with this.

    And so it has come to pass that the preacher preached, the family wept, and the body of a wealthy man descended into the shallow sub-levels of the Earth’s surface, where it will lie in an underground field, become part of an army of dead, waiting in slumber for their final destination, six feet below.
