Redeeming a Monster

Wow. It's been a minute, hasn't it? At any rate, I'm back and have millions of stories. First, I went to this year's Warped Tour. Amazing. I loved every minute of it. Confide and Attack Attack! blew me away, and I even got to meet the boys of Confide.  Then I left for a ten day trip to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, which may be the greatest thing on this Earth. It was AMAZING. The attention to detail down there was awesome. I of course bought both Harry's and Voldemort's wands, which was another great idea. I am so happy to be home, and that may be for a couple reasons. God has blessed me with the greatest, most awesome friends anybody could ask for. I love these kids with every bit of my being. And being gone really sucked, because these people are such big parts of my life. 


And maybe the biggest breaking news: Sam found himself a girl!! :)


She's my sister's dance teacher, and boy, she's great. I'm not gonna go on for hours and hours about how cool she is, but I could. 


Some new music for you all to check:
-Broadway
-Confide
-Attack Attack
-Miss May I


Yeah, I had planned on writing more, but I gotta get going at some point today


I have a single senior picture being taken at 4:30, then The Last Airbender with Dana :)


This post's song is Such Great Heights by Confide. Yes, it's a cover, but it'll blow your mind.


Such Great Heights
I am thinking it´s a sign
That the freckles in our eyes
Are mirror images and when we kiss
They´re perfectly aligned

And I have to speculate
That God himself did make us
Into corresponding shapes
Like puzzle pieces from the clay

And true it may seem like a stretch
But it´s thoughts like this that catch
My troubled head when you´re away
When I am missing you to death

When you are out there on the road
For several weeks of shows
And when you scan the radio
I hope this song will guide you home

They will see us waving from such great heights
Come down now they´ll say
But everything looks perfect from far away
Come down now but we´ll stay

I tried my best to leave
This all on your machine
But the persistent beat
It sounded thin upon listening

And that frankly will not fly
You will hear the shrillest highs
And lowest lows with the windows down
When this is guiding you home

They will see us waving from such great heights
Come down now they´ll say
But everything looks perfect from far away
Come down now but we´ll stay

[guitar solo]

(Come down now)

They will see us waving from such great heights
Come down now they´ll say
But everything looks perfect from far away
Come down now but we´ll stay




With Peace, Love, and Happiness :)
