Day Ten: Just about, but almost.

Day Ten. The Day I Almost Failed.

So, I was sittin', chillin', drinkin' Coke, playin' Guitar Hero with some friend when I was on my laptop and saw that Switchfoot put a song up that you can get either with a financial donation to Habitat for Humanity, a time donation to Habitat for Humanity, or free if you're too broke. I was just about to pay for my donation, then I stopped myself? Would that be classed as paying for music, thus buying an album, thus breaking lent? Or, because it is a charitable donation, would that nullify the fact that I would, in essence, be buying music?

Interesting tidbits about that song. In the summer (the song is called 'Rebuild'), Jon Foreman and Matt Thiessen (from Relient K) wrote it for their current tour together. A few hours later, Relient K's bus burned down. Now, San Diego, Switchfoot's hometown, got largely destroyed by fires. Don't you think a song like that is even more fitting?

It's interesting, because I was in San Diego over New Year's this past, and some of the places we were aren't there anymore. It's just one of these times where you just have to sit back and think about how precious life is and how quickly it can be gone.

When they hide in the shadows of night, light 'em up.

Day Two: I need more sleep.

It's 4am and I'm drinking a Coke. I am an idiot. I just wanted to get that out there. I've decided to try and write a journal every day even if a bunch of them end up rambling on and on about absolutely nothing whatsoever......much like now. Insolent drivel, really.

So, I'm hanging out at Timmie's tonight and then, right when I was way too tired to even breathe properly, lo and behold, I ended up getting myself into a conversation about music. And then it reminded me of more cd's I want to buy/probably will when all is said and done. Now, speaking of the list, here is what I have on it thus far:

*looks for the notepad file that had the list and ultimately tries to no avail* Because of that, I shall make another list at another time. Needless to say, I was rather saddened when I found out that the new Angels & Airwaves album GOT PUSHED BACK TWO WEEKS from the day BEFORE Lent (which would've let me be able to buy it at launch) to THE FIRST TUESDAY IN NOVEMBER, WHICH TRANSLATED FROM THE ORIGINAL GREEK MEANS, "Chris, we at Geffen hate the very being of your soul and thoroughly relish in the thought of torturing you by pushing that release date back two weeks, which will not let you be able to purchase it until December. Have a wonderful day :)."

I will survive. I swear I'll take just one lifetime, 'cause every new day seems so new.



And with this post, I'm starting a contest for whoever can guess what is being quoted randomly (or not so randomly.........?). Comment with your guesses :).
