"Call You Out"

Okay, I'll be honest here: I was not having the best morning today. Lack of breakfast maybe, ot it might've been my PE class (I cannot do a "correct" push-up to save my life). Either way, I was feeling pretty pathetic. So I treated myself to homeroom this afternoon, which was okay. At one point, I got a bit bored and decided to check all of my news feeds on my Yahoo! page. And I'm still not a Facebooker, but I do subscribe to some of my bands, Flyeaf in this instance, through my Yahoo! page. Guess what I saw? "Listen then share our latest song 'Call You Out' from out upcoming album 'New Horizons'. What do you think?"
Yep, that made my day better :D
So here's the link to the song: Call You Out - Flyleaf
It's much heavier compared to "New Horizons", which was something I, along with a few friends of mine, had been kinda worried about. I mean, you have "New Horizons", which is a very happy and upbeat song, but what about the other "darker" Flyleaf songs? Well, "Call You Out" just reassured me that there will be some.
And it also made me happy.

Oh, speaking of music, of you haven't gotten TFK's "The End is Where We Begin", it's on sale for $7.99 or something like that on iTunes. Check it out!

Uprise Fest 2012

Did I mention this yet? No? Huh. What's wrong with me?

The main stage from our seats on the
hill. Except we were down there
standing 90% of the time. It was epic.

OH YEAH! Right. So on Saturday (Sept. 15) went on a 2-hour drive out to this Christian music concert known as Uprise Festival. And you better believe it was a blast! It was like a mini Creation Fest basically, it was Friday and Saturday, but it involved camping, so we only went Saturday. Anyway, it was me, my dad, and my friends Jess, Patrick, Libby and Zach. My dad and a bunch of teenagers. Actually, come to think of it, we really weren't all that annoying. Nobody talked on the ride there (I mean it was so early), and everyone slept on the way home. But wither way, it was an awesome time. Seeing Disciple, Thousand Foot Krutch, TobyMac, Peter Furler, Icon For Hire, and a bunch of other bands was totally fun. So um, if you want to hear more about it and maybe see some video links, click the jump.

Front Page AGAIN?

So... woke up late this morning. Walked on treadmill for my PE class (I hate it. Sorry, but I hate it). Took shower. Ate mini bagel. Logged onto computer. Logged into school. Checked Yahoo! feeds. Checked Figment.

Again?! But yeah seriously... "That Band Story" is my book! And it got featured! The funniest thing is though, it's not even a complete story yet. I mean, the whole plot is out and all, but there are some points where I need to put the band's name in (I have yet to think of one) and a song or two. But still... pretty cool! And almost exactly a month after the first time I got featured!

Oh yeah, you can read the story on Figment here.
Or os a Google Doc here.

New Horizons Music Video

Probably my favorite Flyleaf video to date. I absolutely love this!

Oh. Right. So today the music video for Flyleaf's song "New Horizons" was realeased! And it took me a while to find it, so since you're here, I'll save you the trouble:
New Horizons
I watched it twice already. And I'm starting to wonder if the ending has to do with Lacey's birthday (which is today, September 4). I don't know, it's just a thought.
But anyway, enjoy the awesome music video and have a great day!

Subject 10

The cover for Subject 10
(c) Me

Yeah... I've been working on a story (that will hopefully become a book later) and I decided I needed a cover for it. And so, while I'm not half-watching... Hold on, lemme ask what we're watching here... Okay, it's the Republican National Convention or something like that. Anyway, using GIMP and picmonkey.com, I created this cover for my book-in-progress, "Subject 10". So, while I'm at it, I'm gonna do some self-promotion and tell you that you can read what I have so far either on Figment.com or on Google Docs, using the links provided below. I hope you enojoy it!!

I fail at keeping this blog updated

Sorry!

Okay well for starters, in music-related news, both "Draw the Line" (Disciple) and "New Horizons" (Flyleaf) are released as singles on iTunes! "Draw the Line" is $.99, and "New Horizons" is $1.29, but they're both worth every penny :D I just absolutely love them both!

Moving along from that, I had my friends Libby and Emily over yesterday to hang out. I guess maybe as a nice way to end the summer. :( So sad about it ending... but oh well. Anyway, we did a lot of talking. We also went and saw Brave at a movie theatre near my house, and that was pretty fun. Oh, and we drank Mountain Dew floats. Like a root beer float, but with MD (technically they were Libby's idea). It was DELICOUS!!! And I only made a mess ONCE! New record!

And then last night we went to youth group and I had a near miss with the edge of the barn. We were playing capture the flag and I was running past the barn and there was a small slope there. I reached out to tag someone, then I lost my footing, and started sliding down the slope. And there's part of the barn (which is made up metal) that sticks out over the slope so I basically BARELY avoided cutting my forehead on the metal and sending myself to the ER. That would NOT have been fun. But I got out okay, minus one grass stain and I had the wind knocked out of me. But I'm okay :)

Anyways, that's about all for news! Hopefully I'll blog again soon!

More Line Drawing

Found another (better?) YouTube video for the supposed "radio version" of Disciple's "Draw the Line". So um... I thought some people might like to look at it.

"Draw the Line" (radio version)

This is just my thought, but I have a feeling this isn't the final version of the song. Maybe it's just me, but it sounds a littl too... I dunno, but it doesn't seem totally finished yet. Maybe a demo version?
Well anyway, here's that. Enjoy the awesome music!
