Movin' on Up


I went.....
From This.......(2010-2011)

To....

This.....

2012-Present

This change actually didn't happen directly one after the other. I mean, yeah, it happened in processional order. First the scooter, second the motorcycle. But they were years apart.

I love it. It's awesome. That is all.

2 In a Week!?!?!? I suppose I must Carry on


You are all blown away. I know. I am blown away too. TWO posts within like...a weeks time? Crazy I know.

So now that I have a normal hours job, and have been able to focus on music a bit more, I've decided to maybe....start posting songs.

So there's this website called "Omegle.com". The idea of this is that you hit "start" or whatever, and then you're instantly paired up with a random stranger to chat. The general population on that site (as i rapidly discovered) is perv 15 year old boys looking to talk dirty. So you can leave the conversation as soon as you want if the circumstances aren't what you are looking for, and move onto the next stranger. So, needless to say, it took me a minute to find a real person. I happened upon a girl (supposedly) who told me a rather sad tale. Her Mom had cancer, and was in really bad shape and only getting worse. Her family's house had recently burnt down. She was the oldest of 4 or 5 kids, and was taking care of the whole family. She talked about how hard it was, but how she knew she had to keep going to be there for her Mom and family.

Now, whether this was ACTUALLY true, who knows; however, I like to believe it was. And if it wasn't, well it was still inspiration for a good song, so that's all that matters to me. So without further adieu, here is a video and the lyrics of that song, entitled: "Carry On". (I've never professed to be great singer. I do alright, but whatevs)
Carry On


She puts on a happy face
She smiles and claims she’s fine
Underneath it all, she’s lost in smoke and flames

Everything is gone, the end of it all
She never saw it coming, so fast and so strong
Screaming and yelling her name, there's nothing more she can do
She lifts her head up, and carries on

Come here my little one, I have some news for you
Mama is dyin, The world as she knows it is gone
It is gone

She’s being brave. All that she's got now
The only choice on hand
Everything is gone

When will it be her turn?
When will it go her way?
When will she ever know?
Why it all happened that way…….

Everything is gone, the end of it all
She never saw it coming, so fast and so strong
The end of it all, she’s going at it alone
She lifts her head up, and carries on

The end of it all
 She’s Going at it alone
She lifts her head up, and carries on

Here I Am

Whoa....here I am. I bet you thought I died huh? I guess it's been over a year....A year and like...2 months and a couple week, couple days, and stuff. Yeah, it's been a while. SORRY!!!

So a lot has changed in this time frame. I started working at Convergys, for a graveyard shift (I think this was mentioned previously), and have since moved on from there. I wasn't really looking for a job, but one happened to fall in my lap. I currently work for a Home Warranty company. It's a pretty amazing company. They started in 2006, and have grown exponentially since then. There is a lot of room for growth there, and that's currently where i'm at.

Brent is on a mission now, in Chile, Mision Concepcion South, and has been there for quite some time (8 months already?? Crazy)

So anyway...............I learned i have an amazing talent.....


I learned how to grow a freaking AMAZING beard!!!! 

Yes...in this picture I might appear as one who hails from a middle eastern country....but hey, my beard ROCKS....This picture I think was about 3 months of beard growth. It all started with No Shave November, and then it just kept going. I have since trimmed it back, but it is still there. I love it, however, I'm kinda considering shaving it....or something. Not really sure yet. But yes, I now know I can grow a beard :)

Well that's all I have for now. I really am going to try the blog thing again. I did so well during my college years....and now that I've been out for over a year (hey what a coincidence...same time frame i haven't blogged in) I actually have MORE free time, but I tend to use it doing other things. But blogging is one that I am going to start again. So expect more internets!!
