man i feel old! :)
seriously though, it feels like i'm in a major transition period. all my life people have told me i look WAY younger than i actually am. and i guess i sorta believed that. in some ways it doesn't feel like i'm ready to be 18. doesn't feel like i'm ready to legally buy alcohol if i want to. doesn't feel like i'm ready to move out into the big wide world on my own.
but i guess i'll have to be (not that i'll be doing much of the alcohol stuff haha).
i get reflective on birthdays...
anyway, nights!
Jordan
ps. oh and happy birthday to Daniel too!!!

Happy
Because thanks to God, for once I feel as if I'm finally getting on top of it all, instead of being buried under the avalanche.

In other news...
...I hate trusting my guitar to DI boxes, hoping they'll go through the system, but they don't and I can't even here if my solos sound good or not.
...I cooked the most fail meal of my LIFE today!
...I finally finished my speech! After hours of working, I extended it from 2 pages to 4! Whoop whoop!
...I'm addicted to playing this song on the guitar! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLzDJK-UJrQ
...Everyday Sunday is playing out of the computer speakers.
...I'm STILL smiling! :D
..."Superhero Movie" was a pathetic excuse for a movie. Even if it's immaturity was funny on occasion.
...It was actually sunny today! :O
...I haven't practiced my scales yet, and it's 12.00 so I probably won't actually do them tonight.
...I'm wearing shoes for some strange reason. (Actually it's cos I was to lazy to take them off..)
...In other news, there is not much to say at the moment. The entire day passed without much band practice, but we're working on it.
Anyway hope you all had a good day! God bless,
Jordan
Ps I finally thought up my stage name! STOKED! :)

when we remember..
"Remember the Creator in the days of your youth, before the times of evil come."
~Ecclesiastes 12:1
Had the most amazing night tonight at youth group! I don't really know how to explain it, but everything just seems alright now. Even though it's not still, but it just feels like its getting better. Almost as if there is somehow hope when there had been despair, light when there had been darkness, love when there had been rejection. And I realize fully now how much I've been missing out on. With God in the background, life was pretty much unbearable. I woke up every morning thinking I had nothing to live for. If life was like a boat, then it felt like I was being strapped to the underside of the ship and being keel-hauled across the seabed.
For once I have a smile on my face which I know will not go away when the jokes over, or when I get under the weather.
After that I got home and picked up my guitar and was just praising God when a song I'd wrote YEARS ago came up. It wasn't one of my best by a long shot, but the words mean so much more to me now than they did back then. I can't even remember it's name, but it was pretty much everything I'd wanted to say.
I've tried to write this song, but the words all came out wrong/ but I think I'm getting it now, I just need to let it all out
And if there's one thing I'm holding onto, then there's one thing I have to say/ If there's one thing I've learnt from this it's to learn from my mistakes
The world is falling to pieces/ Do we know where piece is/ Do we know the answer/ I think I have the answer for you
We're falling pieces but he can put us together/ Cause Jesus loves you and that'll last forever/ No matter what you've done, he can overcome/ Just let it all go, cause now I know/ We're falling pieces but now we're whole
Are you listening to this song, I can't see what's going on/ I can't see past the mask you're holding now, but it's time to let it all out
Man it's incredible, when I was playing it, it seemed almost as if I was singing those words to myself. It's just one of those songs which really mean something special to you, even if they don't quite work out in the band situation..
Anyway, hope you all have a good night, and God bless
