Alright everyone, I finished The Orphaned Anything's: memoir of a lesser known last night. Since it was from Stephen Christian, it was great. Now to prove that statement:

Chapter title: it's either love, goodbye, or death when slow music is in the background of a movie.

Quote: if you know your an *ssh*l* and admit it, does that make you less of an *ssh*l*?

Name of Character: Ayden Kosacov

Firearms? Yes.

See, automatically a good book. It's not like a traditional story. It is mainly comments on life and what is happening in Ayden's life told in blog/journal format. Ignore the grammer when you read it... and you must.

Hey everyone! expect my review of Stephen Christian's The Orphand Anything's soon. I just received the book today.

You know those times in life when you just need someone to talk with cause life completely sucks? I came to the realization tonight (again, just never like this) that everyone needs at least one friend they can just be comfortable and just talk with.

There's that Anberlin song that goes, "We talked about life, God, death, and your family..." I had one of those experiences tonight and was inspired to write this. My whole point is find that person (people) that you can talk to about anything and just thank them.

What is it about dark sunsets combined with good screamo that really gets the mind into an amazing state?

I found this today, it is an explanation of Anberlin's new album title due out this summer. :) (written by Stephen Christian.)

new surrender.

we will all come to the point in our life where we have to admit that we
feel defeated, that something has conquered us.
we must change, not because we want to, but because we desperately
have to. we can not take life in its current suffocating state, even to
admit such desperation shows that we are feeling deserted,
wandering the barren desert,
a shell of our former selves.

it is only up from here, it is impossible to sink any lower into ourselves
or our circumstances.
but we can be salvaged, a deliverance.
no vice can stand, no fix can take.
the thorn in the side can be removed,
but you have to be willing to admit and surrender.
surrender your habits,
your lifestyle,
your past,
your present,
and your future.
this is your new surrender.
the new surrender.

new surrender.
