matt nathanson

rocked my face off at the house of blues on friday night. I stood in one place for about 6 hours straight through. For those of you who know me well, you know that this was not an altogether easy task, but it was totally worth it. Think I may have gotten some hardcore eye contact at one point. The first opening act was Jamie Harris, she was AWESOME. Great vocals, fantastic lyrics. http://www.myspace.com/jaimeeharrismusic check it out. Next was Jesse Baylin, she was...mediocre at best. Then...Matty, oh matty. He was fantastic, hilarious, and everything I thought he was gonna be. However, there was an ever present elbow in my rib from a crowd monger that decided to have WAY too many people sneak up front with them. Oh well. I didn't let it ruin my night. And afterwards, we got to meet Matt, and he totally wore my pashmena. I almost left it on him, he made it look so much better. The night closed with a trip to IHOP and an episode of the office. It was pretty much the perfect day.

i leave you with some face-rocking matty nay lyrics:

You lead me, fit around my tongue
It's so easy, to forget that I'm lost
Spent all of my life, waiting for answers
To lift me, to numb me, to define it all

Sunshine, I'm beginning to like this

'Cause all I wanna be is the minute that you hold me in
When you pretend that I'm all that you waited for
Time slips to nothin' and I'm better than I've ever been
i'm suspended

You're breathing, filling up my lungs
I can almost believe that I'm almost enough
Spent all of my life empty of anthems
Bracing for something that never did come

Sunshine, I'm beginning to like this
Sunshine, I'm beginning to like it

'Cause all I wanna be is the minute that you hold me in
When you pretend that I'm all that you waited for
Time slips to nothin' and I'm better than I've ever been
i'm suspended

It's not enough to stay surrounded
It's not enough to stay awake,
Torn, and braced, cornered
And not feel alive

it's official

I have got to be the worst blogger in the history of the world.

There are so many things that have happened in the last month and a half. SO many things that I can't even think about writing them all. I am on a journey of sorts...to figure out exactly what it is that God is trying to tell me. Over the entire summer it seemed like he was YELLING in my ear...everything was so clear; the kind of people I should surround myself with, the kind of things I should be doing, how to best fashion my life to his will. Lately, however, I have been straining to hear him like my grandma strains to hear her wheel of fortune. The problem is : I think its me. Not God. My grandma's TV is plenty loud, its volume never changed, but her hearing has over the years. Maybe its the same with me: God's voice is just as loud as it was, but for some reason I'm in need of a hearing aid. The best hearing aid I can come up with is staying in the scripture. In fact, it might be the ONLY hearing aid I can think of.

OK so...enough of that stuff. Here's an update in list form:
1. Got a tattoo
2. Finally getting to take care of the really sick babies at work
3. Started watching the office, and it has changed my life
4. Searching for a place to worship that can quench my spiritual thirst.
5. Trying to shake off them haters
6. Ridiculous amount of time spent online talking to a certain someone...that happens to be 30 hours away
7. Quite a few good movies at Movie Tavern with Heather
8. Me and my DVR are very close friends ever since I've started working nights.
9. Lots of family time
10. A change in political views

That's the long and short of it. If you have any questions about ANY of it, feel free to ask :)
