Go and read Adam's blog for some encouragement. It was for me anyway. It IS kinda hard to be serious reading something out of a tuxedo though... I think it's good to be serious sometimes... Not all the time, not even most of the time for that matter, but every now and then it's a good thing, otherwise you lose touch. Anyway, I got the new Blindside cd today, and I like it way better than I thought I would. There's not very much screaming, and when there is, it's not usually too bad, and the lyrics are great. It also got me thinking... I think that for me personally, I should listen to a bit more christian music. Now, I'm not saying that secular music is bad at all. The thing with alot of secular music is, it's depressing. Christian music can be depressing too, but there's always a messege of hope too. I just know that for me, I really absorb music, so if I listen to alot of Dashboard or something, I get bummed out, and we all know the hilarity that ensues when I get bummed out. When I listen to things like Fine China, or Blindside (The only christian cds I've gotten lately), they usually make me think and stuff, as opposed to just bumming me out. Anyway, that's something that I have to do, I don't know if you do or not, but it could help, who knows. Ok, there's my dose of seriousness, have a nice day.
