Tangent

This Journal is going to be raw just so you all know.  On a scale of 1 - 10 this is a 9.5.  But you want to know why this is so raw?  It's turning into how I cope.  It's Exposing all of my emotions I have been going through lately.   Don't Get me wrong, I love my Family.  I really do but sometimes it feels like I am suffocating.  That is  what this is about.  I'm Suffocating, and I need a never-ending Source of Air.  That is explained later in this Song, Rap, Poem or Whatever you want to call it.   I see all these books, all these things to accomplish. I take the time to ask What's the point? Then, antisipating a sharp tounged response and much to my surprise, I only get met with one of the most powerful wepons: Silence. A sufficating silence, I stand still, start to look at my options, but none of them seem to meet what I need.  I start to panic, go up to my room, to you know, get some room, let my mind contempl...

Many moments passed as Rick was letting Jackson's answer sink in.  "Very well. We start your training First thing tomorrow morning.  Be prepared.  Wear Jeans and long sleeves Because we are going to be going into the woods.   You don't have too, but it is recommended." Jackson answered, "Uh, it's October, and the temperature is going to be dropping." At this, the two of them drove in silence. *** The Next morning, Jackson was up at the crack of dawn and couldn't get any more sleep, so he got out of bed, took a shower, and changed.  He started reading one of the books that he had packed, went outside and started a fire in the fire pit that was outside of His mom and his cabin at the campground.  About an hour had passed and Rick stepped out of his cabin at the smell of the fire.  Rick asked him "What are you reading?" "The Darkest Hour." "Nice.   I have to take care of some things.  So, after ...

Winter Jam is a Christian concert tour that goes all over the United States.  There are 2 parts of the tour.  There is the East tour and there is the West tour.  The West tour takes place in November and the East tour takes place in January and goes on until the middle of March.  It started a really long time ago by Newsong and was known as January Jam, and now it has grown to be known by its name that it has now.  Some headliners that they have had over the years include Crowder, Hillsong, DC Talk, TobyMac, Newsboys, and Skillet.  There are many more to be named but I really do not have the space to name it all.  For those of you that have been around this blog, a really long time know that I did something similar to this except with Lifest.  That got a good response, so I am doing this again. What is going to be going on in this article includes, a Schedule (and the Line-up is included in this section because it is a concert), Highs and Lows, a ...

As We Ascend is a Christian hard rock band.  They have one CD and one single, so this is their first self-produced Album. Similar Artists 12 Stones Red Skillet Evanescence  Review This CD has real heart and soul given to it.  The rhythms are fantastic, There is a lot of good electric guitar parts, and also some really great vocals.  The album seems to tell a story, which is also a thing that I look for in a CD.  The album also seems to have a very consistent sound, which is something that every band should have One thing that I love to see in Rock music is trying not to scream the entire time.  This album only has two Verses that are all screaming, but I could overlook that because the rest of the album is fantastic.  I love the fact that I can hear and understand all the words.  The few songs that do have the screams have a reason for it.  Some may say that the screams add to the overall story.   The Playlist on ...

Oh Lord, Is this it?  Can it really be?  I know That You are there in everything in the past, present, and future, But right now, its like I don't feel You here right now. Is this all that life has to offer?  Just getting up and doing things that you are supposed to do, even when they aren't what you really want to do?  I guess that's just it.  This life just goes and goes around and around until you get bored, and then it just continues like a Merry go round. It's kind of funny you know.  The comparison between a merry go round and daily routines.  One moment you are on the top of the world, but the next it seems it all comes crashing down to the point that sometimes all that keeps you going is your daily routines.  Life sometimes looks a lot like the circle of life, but only daily. I guess that it should be the circle of the Daily struggle. Like a merry go round, You know that at some point something could change and bring it to an end....

After Rick's conversation with Daniel, Rick had decided that it would be best to go for a walk to do some thinking and talk to the other leaders about the move of territories Date.  He also had decided that it would be best to let the leaders decide where the new territories will extend.  Rick knew one thing for sure: Daniel and Sky would have to figure out how to share a boundary because for the longest time they had had around a 30 acre expanse of territory between their territories.  However, Rick was confident that it would work because Daniel and Sky were great friends, and in a majority of conflicts they had worked together.  The biggest example of this was when Carlton and Kylie's tribe had formed an alliance through a massive drought but Sky had had a large amount of food, but the prey seemed to be hanging out in an area that was just over the border so the two tribes joined together and put on a raid.  When Sky had heard the two tribe...

Just so everyone knows this is just an article about me searching through me heart looking and examining myself.  This is just a reflection.  I am going to be getting rather vulnerable so I am asking for a kind reception.  I am also trying to put a good example out there on the web for those who may not have that many people around who they could be looking up too.  I also hope that some people look at this article, and find a new hope.  One that does more than what one man can do. If I had a time machine, and I could go back and get a re-do of the past several years,  I would.  Last night I was just laying awake until 2:00 in the morning just reflecting  on many things, and this being the start of Lent (the season of anticipation for Jesus's arrival in Jerusalm for Holy week.  I felt like this would be the best time to release some of my thoughts that have been going through my mind recently.  As...
