Hey whats up guys? Yeah to answer that i guess you'll have to comment or something. wow i mean that was like not planned at all. That just...happened. So anyway just been hanging out with brother and the guys. We went to acco on thrusday. Saw the old prison up there. Pretty sweet. climbing amonst the barb wire and such. I wanted to take a cannon ball home cause they had like a bazillion caphilion shmilion of them but yeah I started to get one and i turned my head and this guard was just staring at me so yeah that didn't happen. Ah well just have to buy one. Yesterday hung out with my brother most of the day then joel came over and hung. After that we went to tel aviv for Seven Percent's show they had. Their pretty good live. Couple of other bands were playing heavy metal before them which were pretty hilarious. Matt got a ear plug stuck in his ear and took forever to get it out. But tweezers, fingers, and a key later....it was out. But yeah had pretty good time. Gotta to see the awesome as can be people there. After the show we hung for awhile then topped it all off at three in the morning with me and my brother sitting in the living room drinkin our chocolate milk, eatin our chips, and watching 1937 mystery movie. "The Thin Man," pretty pro stuff. Today went to church. David gave a really good sermon. Then clay came over and him, matt and me went out just trying to do stunts and such after we saw the Yamakezee's videos on youtube. haha Then we went to the beach and had a nice swim. I'm telling you guys right now, IT KILLS! The water just stops your body from funtioning but yeah you get use to it after awhile so...found a jellyfish. fun stuff. Undertow almost pulled us out a couple of times but thankfully...we can swim! Thankfully God kept me warm and i didn't get hypothermyea as we walked back home in the rain. haha The rain actually felt good after being in the water. Yup fun stuff. Then we took hot SHOWERS! YEAH BABY! Ate some "zza." Watched some Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Played the awesome as can be Resident Evil 4 for playstation 2. Now I must hit the hay. Got some shut eye. Catch some zzz's.... yeah gotta go to sleep. Gotta jam tomorrow with the guys. Got some new songs and stuff. Hopefully we'll know them all perfectly so we can play some shows soon. Well hope you guys are doing food. Prayin for you guys! Love ya! God Bless,

 "Move To Bremerton"

When I meet a special girl
She always lives somewhere else in the world
Don't want to call her on the phone
Wanna talk to her when I'm at home

Drop out of school and run away
Quit your job, you got a place to stay
Pack your bags and hitch a ride
Bremerton's a good place to reside

Move to Bremerton - we'll hang out
Move to Bremerton - we'll go all out
Move to Bremerton - will you be mine?
Move to Bremerton - we'll hang out
Move to Bremerton - we'll go all out
Move to Bremerton 'til the end of time

I'll change the street signs you drive down
So you end up in my town
I'll re-draw the maps all one by one
So they all lead to Bremerton

Drop out of school and run away
Quit your job, you got a place to stay
Pack your bags and hitch a ride
Bremerton's a good place to reside

Move to Bremerton - we'll hang out
Move to Bremerton - we'll go all out
Move to Bremerton - will you be mine?
Move to Bremerton - we'll hang out
Move to Bremerton - we'll go all out
Move to Bremerton 'til the end of time

If you cut your hair and bleach it too
You gotta know that I'll have a crush on you
I'm a sucker for a short-headed girl with a pretty smile
She gotz to have ideas, yeah, and she gotz to have style

Drop out of school and run away
Quit your job, you got a place to stay
Pack your bags and hitch a ride
Bremerton's a good place to reside

Move to Bremerton - we'll hang out
Move to Bremerton - we'll go all out
Move to Bremerton - will you be mine?
Move to Bremerton - we'll hang out
Move to Bremerton - we'll go all out
Move to Bremerton 'til the end of time

Until the end of time
Until the end of time

Move to Bremerton - we'll hang out
Move to Bremerton - we'll go all out
Move to Bremerton - will you be mine?
Move to Bremerton - we'll hang out
Move to Bremerton - we'll go all out
Move to Bremerton 'til the end of time

Ok well thanks for reading all this stuff! Love ya guys! Read on....

Saw the new james bond....INSANE! haha It was really good. The new guy was much better than I thought. Of course he did have a very different way about him. Ya know how it is. All these James Bond guys are different. Like Sean Connery; he really more of the gentleman kinda but kinda crazy when the ladies are concerned. haha Roger Moore was just hilarious style. Oh and there was that dude he did only one...but hey.. i mean he did only one. That says a lot. haha Then you have Timothy Dalton who did a couple. He was actually really good. He was a lot like Sean Connery but was more of a not follow the rules kinda guy. :P Peirce Brosnan, awesome style. Kinda jokey, not very muscular but he was a gentleman. Yes siry. And then there's the new guy...no idea what his name is. But yeah pretty sweet. Wow I just used a whole paragraph about how the James Bonds were. Shoot me now.... ok well ANYWAY! besides that fact that this movie was awesome I had a pretty good day. :P Did the schoolness. Biology day. Pretty sweet stuff. Chemicals and atoms and all that old junk from like two years ago. Tomorrow I have the oh so wonderful business math which actually isn't half as bad as I make it out to be. Umm got some more guitar to play. Ideas are rolling through our heads. Throwing all this stuff back and forth. Our words and music are coming a long pretty good but hey if your not here you would be a little confused. If you want me to like..record something at some point just yell out. But it better be soon cause gonna be busy during the holidays with my brother and all the peoples. but hey I gotta get on a little to be with the peoplez! Gotta love you guys! Of course a lot of you guys are gonna be here for israel and gonna have an awesome time! When micah gets back we're having a party so be there! haha ATTENTION: PARTY! MICAH'S HOUSE, BE THERE! And we're going to be providing the music so everyone be prepared to rock! So put on your rock faces! Put on those faces! And mosh it up! If you have made it all the way through here, wow.....i have way  better friends than I thought. haha I mean friends that actually read all my crap. dannnggggg But yeah thanks all you guys for just being awesome friends over the years. You guys have just been extremely awesome to me and thankx all you guys for what you've done. Made all these teenage years the best I could have. A lot of people say their really sorry for some of the mistakes they've made and really wish they could change them and I mean I sometimes wish that to but when I really think about it, i wouldn't be who I am today. Granted I'm still a jerk, idiot at times who thinks more about himself than others but hey thats guys.....man we suck. haha But yeah just gotta keep working. Thanks all you guys who've stayed with me and been there for me. You've really made me want to strive to be better. I mean, hey if you guys actually think that I can be an awesome person than I must be able to! And most of all God has never given up on me which a very very awesome thing! God is my very best friend! Yes siry! Followed by Clay and Micah. Yes yes. THATS YOU! And followed by a whole bunch of other people. haha Nah just kidden you guys. You are all in my thoughts and in my prayers. Hope you guys are doing well. I think a band put it best when they said, "hope this letter finds you well." So thanks you guys! Gettin all mooshy over here...haha Well I better get to bed. Buisness math TOMORROW! AH!!!!! Look at it positively nick....you do it then you get to watch XENA! "I DO NOT WATCH XENA!" YOU SO DO! "DO NOT!" ANYWAY! Yeaaaahhh. You guys know I don't watch that kinda stuff right? Thats not how I roll... ok ok....maybe once or twice....but I'm all about the Cheers and Seinfeld and stuff.

Not Ready To Die

You've got a lot of nerve and I've got a lot of fingers to point
While you were busy building knowledge I was already right
I know a voice like yours is not a weapon at all
And even mine is not a chisel for a thickened skull
So you can chant your anthems to the deaf
And we can sit here and cry until there's nothing left
Or we can take our voices with our hands
Make like knives and make demands
We'll take our voices - with our hands
Make like knives - we'll make demands
Pre Chorus: I saw my future today, it said I'm going away
But I still haven't sung the last line
On my way down..
Chorus: I'm not ready to lay, not ready to fade
I'm not ready to die
Verse 2: And everyday of my life I can feel it getting harder to breathe
With every minute ticking by I'm getting ready to leave
I know a life like mine is not a reason to fret
But I've been busy making scars that you will never forget
If only thirty three years can save my life
I've had twenty three more to make things right
So when I'm taken to the sky and you're still here
You can clear your mind and dry your tears
When I'm taken home - and you're still here
Just clear your mind - dry your tears
I'm burning bridges for the last time
I'm breaking habits for the first time
I saw my future today, it said I'm going away
But I still haven't sung the last line.
On my way down..
I'm not ready to lay, not ready to fade
I'm not ready to die
When I'm taken home - and you're still here
Just clear your mind - dry your tears
We'll take our voices - with our hands
Make like knives - we'll make demands
I'm not ready to lay, not ready to fade
I'm not ready to die
