*rejoices about sleeping in*
Lifehouse has a new CD coming out called “Stanley Climbfall.” I’ve heard the track “Spin” and it’s good.
I’ve also been listening to:
Project 86 - Hollow Again
“how will we open the eyes of the dead
when we are hollow, hollow………….
and all along here i was told we’d fall and then crash away, that we would find a hope inside the saftey of this empty place”
…
“forever we will be hollow, hollow again”
Somedays I feel hollow, but then I remember I don’t have to find hope within the emptiness. Hope in Jesus is the best that’s available.
I look just like Buddy Holly…
Today I’m just going to try to catch up on some things. My room needs picked up, I need to get the mail, perhaps call my parents, and some other really boring stuff.
There’s lots of foreign people around this year. So far, I know at least one Nigerian, British, Japanese, and Korean person. This kind of diversity is cool.

Lame excuse for the day:
Odd… I missed a day. Bah! This is what happens to busy people. They go away and forget all about their loyal followers… or stalkers… or whatever you prefer to call yourselves =).
Boring day to day stuff:
Got done with exams. I’m so glad it’s Friday. Adrenaline and caffeine has been enabling my limbs to continue movement during the last two days even after my natural energy dwindled. Nav Nite tonight. Oh, and I got my backpack back yesterday.
Uhm… interesting stuff:
The “kind guy” a.k.a. Landon has a brother with a t-shirt company. These shirts are awesome and definitely shout some stuff I think should be heard more. Modesty rocks. Oh jah!
“Ooo wee ooo, I look just like Buddy Holly,
Oh oh, and you’re Mary Tyler Moore.
I don’t care what they say about us anyway.
I don’t care about that.
I don’t care about that.”
Weezer - Buddy Holly
Went to see “Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story” last night at the Omaha Community Theater. It was interesting. Given my generation, I never really knew how many of those “oldies” were his. He really did have quite an impact on rock music back in the two years before his death in a plane accident.
“I can’t remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride
But something touched me deep inside
The day the music died”
Don McClean - American Pie
The music was really enjoyable. Some of the songs were pretty sentimental about women, so that got me thinking in the same mindset and somewhat sad. That dude really could rock, though. And so could the actor/guitarist who starred as him in the performance.
