Merry Christmas and a big "it's been a long time" to ya. A lot has happened in a month. I kind of tired of blogging. So I just stopped for a while obviously.
Lets see, where to start. Well this is what I got for Christmas 8 cds which are : Stapping Young Lad - Self titled and City, Tomahawk - Mit Gas, Soul Embraced - Immune, Devin Townsend - Ocean Machine, Neal Morse - Testimony, Stretch ArmStrong - Engage, and Figure Four - Suffering the Loss. I also received a new disc man from my brother Dan that plays mp3's. I also received a new 100% wool sweater and a button down shirt which I love both of. Yesterday I bought the new Zao cd entitled Legendary, it is a best of cd.
I recently went to my first and second Anthrax shows which is two real long stories appiece. On the way to the first show my van blew a tire and I also got lost. So we got to see six songs and that was it. The second show was in a dive of a club called McCools in Valpo. We made it there for that one, but let me say that it was one of the most nutty crowds that I have ever been involved in. There were people fighting and the crowd also broke down the wood barrier that was there. I thought people were going to get impaled. There was an awful stench almost the entire time. The shows both rocked though and it was a dream come true to see Anthrax. \mm/
My two bands are going well. The one that is exciting the most is the 5 piece one that has in it my Dad playing guitar, Frank Yazvac on keys, Todd Bader on bass, Jim Martz on guitar, and myself on drums. We all can sing well, but most of the vocals thus far are being handled Frank, Todd and I. Todd by the way is a monster on the bass and Jim is a real good guitar player. We are mostly rewriting a lot of my dads tunes and putting vocals in them and they are turning out very well. We are also doing some of Franks songs so we have a cool mix of progressive and worship going on which is a lot of fun to play. I am so excited!!
I have to say this. God is doing a lot of refining in my life right now and is very hard. I am trying to let go of the hurt's and pains that I have sustained emotionally and spiritually in the last few years. It will be so awesome when I am on the other side of this but right now it is just the beginning. So please keep me in your prayers, I want to become what God wants me to. Which I think most of us could agree on.
Anyway to all of you that I haven't talked to in a while, I apologize to yu from the bottom of my heart. I miss you guys and wish there was more time. Here is a some lyrics that kind of explain things for me.
Time Stand Still By Rush words by Neal Peart
I turn my back to the wind
To catch my breath
Before I start off again.
Driven on without a moment to spend
To pass an evening with a drink and a friend
I let my skin get too thin
I'd like to pause
No matter what I pretend
Like some pilgrim
Who learns to transcend
Learns to live as if each step was the end
(Time stand still)
I'm not looking back
But I want to look around me now
(Time stand still)
See more of the people and the places that surround me now
Freeze this moment a little bit longer
Make each sensation a little bit stronger
Experience slips away
Experience slips away
I turn my face to the sun
Close my eyes
Let my defences down
All those wounds that I can't get unwound
I let my past go too fast
No time to pause
If I could slow it all down
Like some captain, whose ship runs aground
I can wait until the tide comes around
(Time stand still)
I'm not looking back
But I want to look around me now
(Time stand still)
See more of the people and the places that surround me now
Freeze this moment a little bit longer
Make each impression a little bit stronger
Freeze this motion a little bit longer
The innocence slips away
The innocence slips away...
Summer's going fast, nights growing colder
Children growing up, old friends growing older
Freeze this moment a little bit longer
Make each impression a little bit stronger
Experience slips away
Experience slips away...
The innocence slips away.
So peace and love to you all and have a wonderful new year.
