Songs In My Head - Beauty From Pain

So my friend put the idea in my head for something else I could put on this blog...
Songs are always getting stuck in my head. And so I have decided to share them with ya'll. This song, Beauty From Pain, has not only been stuck in my head, but it it hits home with its meaning.
Though this video isn't really my favorite, I couldn't find the actual music video for it. Hopefully you like this song as well...and sorry if it gets stuck in your head, because I know how hard it can be to get a song out of your head :)

BEAUTY FROM PAIN
-SuperChick

The lights go out all around me
One last candle to keep out the night
And then the darkness surrounds me
I know I'm alive
But I feel like I died
And all that's left is to accept that it's over
My dreams ran like sand through the fists that I made
I try to keep warm but I just grow colder
I feel like I'm slipping away

After all this has passed
I still will remain
After I've cried my last
There'll be beauty from pain
Though it won't be today
Someday I'll hope again
And there'll be beauty from pain
You will bring beauty from my pain

My whole world is the pain inside me
The best I can do is just get through the day
When life before is only a memory
I wonder why God lets me walk through this place
And though I can't understand why this happened
I know that I will when I look back someday
And see how you've brought beauty from ashes
And made me as gold purified through these flames

After all this has passed
I still will remain
After I've cried my last
There'll be beauty from pain
Though it won't be today
Someday I'll hope again
And there'll be beauty from pain
You will bring beauty from my pain

Here I am at the end of me
Trying to hold to what I can't see
I forgot how to hope
This night's been so long
I cling to your promise
There will be a dawn

After all this has passed
I still will remain
After I've cried my last
There'll be beauty from pain
Though it won't be today
Someday I'll hope again
And there'll be beauty from pain
You will bring beauty from my pain

The Sticky Stuff

So I remembered i have a blog again...

So i suppose its time for an update.
My good friends Drew and Caleb and Nathan introduced me to Flight Of The Conchords. It has basically become one of my favorite things. And one of my favorite songs of theirs has inspired me...The Tape Of Love...
ok so it didnt really inspire me but i figured its sweet and i can go places with using "the sticky stuff" as the title...
'Cause our lives can get sticky with all the stuff goin on...yeah people, check out the symbolism there.

Anywhoo, life is still a little rough and i have come to the reality of college again. Meaning i am remembering what is like to actually do something productive with my time and turning stuff in and allnighters and stupid busy-work...gotta love being back in this scene.
But i stick with the little things to keep me going in horrible classes. For example world civ...not the most awesome class ever. So basically making witty comments in every worksheet i complete and making up landmarks on the maps that i draw...that is fun and though it really has nothing to do with the class, it keeps me interested.

also from the looks of a blog by my friend joel runyon, i think i might also start some running series on here...because i have no clue what else this blog-ish thing is capable of...
so all one of you who may accidentally type in the URL to my blog and stumble upon this notificatoin, thats coming soon..
so mark your calendars.....yeah!...

Also...update:
Tall guy is engaged :)

Every Mile A Memory...

Well...here's the thing...I still dunno what I am doing with this blog thing...
Haha...infact I had totally and completely forgot I had even made it...
Until today when it was brought to my attention again.
I suppose it doesnt matter though, seeing as all I can add to it (yet again) is me rambling on how I dont know what I am doing...haha.
So I will just give an update of my life to anyone who might read this in the next ten years......

Life was goin great, then it slipped waaaay downhill.
So I have been struggling a lot, but have been attempting to keep my mind off of thngs this summer by thrusting myself into various activities.
Unfortunately a majority of those activities include eating.....a lot of eating...haha.
So sadly I have been gaining weight, which I dont completely appreciate, but I am tryin to deal with.
Since my body is beginning to disgust me, I have recently been playin volleyball nonstop.
I had almost forgotten what a big deal volleyball was to me. It is a huge part of my life.
I think part of the reason my life has slipped downhill is because i havent been able to play much volleyball.
Think about if air was taken away from you for awhile...it would be just a little bit hard to keep living.
Well that's kinda how it is for me if I dont have a good chunk of hardcore volleyball in my life.
So now that I have been doin that and excercising a little more, I find it much easier to deal with the rest of the crap that is goin on in my life.

I'd love if anyone who wants to play some vball could join me!
Just call the cell and i will let you know next time we play...

Until the next time i remember that i have a blog, ADIOS!

I'm Old Greg!

HAHAHA.

This is probably a video that only people who have a twisted mind like me will enjoy. A friend of mine showed it to me once, and I thought it was sooo dumb. But after watching it repeatedly, I found that quoting it is a blast and I find it completely hilarious!! Sooo, in saying that, I think that if you are brave enough you should totally check it out!!!

New!!

So to say that I contain no excitement inside me about this new blog I have created, would be a boldfaced lie. And seeing as I avoid lying, I will tell you the truth: I am totally stoked about this!

However, I am still a little lost at how to use it and update it and do cool things with it. So if anyone wants to take the time and give me some advice, there are no words I could say to you that would express my gratitude fully. Hope you enjoy the upcomings of my new blog!
