I've been waking up at 4:12...

Yep it's true. Sorta.

I have to wear this rubberbands on my braces to straighten my bite or something, and they hurt like heck. I wear em only at night so last night I kept waking up due to pain. It wasn't cool.

Onto a happier topic, I might get off work this Saturday! I have to work out the bugs and talk to my manager tonight, but I might be able to pull it off. The only reason I am getting off work is to go to Angelia and Jordan's birthday party, but I would also enjoy very much not being on my feet for 8 hours like I normally am on a Saturday.

Yeah also, I'm going to see the Hannah Montana movie tuesday. Pray for me, seriously. I don't want to hurt anyone. I'm going to see the Jonas Brothers and not her, so pray that I don't boo at her really loud and get kicked out of the theater.

On an unhappy note, I couldn't find Jon Foreman's Fall and Winter EPs when I went to Wal-Mart last night, so I couldn't get them. Wonder how much they are on iTunes, hmm.....

And that's about it for what's going on in my life. Relient K needs to come back to NY or something and add some excitement into my life.

Matty T and Rosa did this, so I am too.

Best albums of 2007:

1. The Flame In All of Us - Thousand Foot Krutch
2. Jonas Brothers - Jonas Brothers
3. Cosmos - The Send
4. Secrets Keep You Sick - The Fold
5. Southern Weather - The Almost
6. Five Score and Seven Years Ago - Relient K
7. Portable Sounds - Tobymac

This year, I must say I've gotten more into music this year than last year, and possibly more than any other year in my life. The following albums are solely picked on my opinion, and not fact. The top choice is simply the top choice cause it was the one album that I litterally could not stop listening to. There is not one bad song on that album. Jonas Brothers secondly, cause their second release is most definitely a step-up from their first album. Cosmos, well let's just say I'm very happy Ryan convinced me to buy it. Thank you Ryan! The Send isn't very popular, but their music is definitely worth a listen. It's a CD I'll never get tired of. Secrets Keep You Sick I actually purchased on iTunes near the end of the year. But I loved it and I can't stop listening to it. Southern Weather (thanx rosa) is one word: awesome. Five Score is definitely showing more maturity in Relient K's style (hence less silly song) They're growing up. *tear* Portable Sounds is probably Tobymac's best work yet. Nuff said.

Personal Favs on each album:
1. New Drug and Inhuman
2. Australia
3. Begin and Need
4. Medicine and New Skeptic
5. Amazing Because It Is and Say this Sooner
6. Devastation and Reform
7. Feelin So Fly and Boomin

If you actually took the whole time to read all of this, thank you and comment.

One Thing Conference

Hey Guys!

Yeah, this blog entry is about the One Thing Conference. I know, Christmas happened and all but One Thing was a million bazillion times better than Christmas! Let me explain:

The Trip there:
So yeah, 24 hours. A lot of time to spend in a car my friend. But I had taken the long trip to KC before, but this time we had the youth pastors children with us. Which to you may sound like a bad thing, but you don’t know them. It actually made the ride shorter. We played 20 Questions with the little electronic thinger like a million times. We stumped it a few times. I still can’t believe we stumped it with Q-Tip! Lol

The Conference:
Yeah it was in this huge place called Bartle Hall. HUUUUUUUGE BUILDING! Like Football Stadium Big you may be thinking? No, no, my friend. Think bigger. MUCH Bigger! So anyways it was really big! Jason Upton, Misty Edwards, Luke Wood, Merchant Band, Justin Rizzo and Eddie James did the worship. Let me tell you, IT WAS AWESOME! I don’t know how I’m gonna go back to the PIPs tomorrow. There were a ton of speakers but Lou Engle was awesome. He goes, “Oh, I’ve only got 5 minutes left.” And I’m like “WHAT?! He’s been preaching a whole hour?! It feels like it’s only been a few minutes!” Yes my friend. It was that good. Oh another thing, you know how I said Bartle Hall was so huge? Imagine running across it 8 times. Yeah that was me. I was looking for a Coke Machine that wasn’t empty. I was running back and forth and all of them were empty cause there was a ton of people at the conference. The little food shops had them but they were $2.75 there! I finally bought a Dr. Pepper at a Hot Dog stand across the street. Then I was satisfied and happy.

The Call:
I’d heard about several Calls (like the one in Nashville for instance) for a long time, where you fast and pray the whole day, but I’d never been to one. In this case, The Call was on the 31st, so it was 12pm to 12am. I have to admit, at some points it got boring, but at other parts it was awesome. The last thing they had at The Call was Jason Upton leading us into the New Year. Jason Upton is usually really serious, so I was totally surprised when he broke out in two songs he wrote with his kids called “Where the Wild Things are” and “Yes Yes Yes.” Then all of a sudden it was 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!! Then a few minutes later, we left. We begged our parents to take us to Cici’s Pizza, but they protested it wasn’t open. So much for that.

Other stuff:
While I was out there, I drank a lot of Dr. Pepper. Like WAY too much. I got kinda addicted to it. He he.

On the way back, I tried to sing a song with the state name of the state we were in currently. For example, we were in Ohio, so I started singing:

Ohio has the flavor of a watered chestnut
It’s not too crazy and it’s not the best but
We’re not setting forest fires just out of boredom
I’d rather see a movie if in fact I can afford one

Couldn’t think of one for Pennsylvania, till I was not in Pennsylvania. Then I thought of:

Walk down the streets of PA, and you may see her
Go up to her and say you’re a believer

Yes yes yes, both Relient K I know. But I love Relient K lots.

Also, we drove past some place called Fox Run Vineyards or somethings so I was like “GASP JON!!”

I’m sorry maam, but this elegantly arranged and private establishment has no association whatsoever with a Mr. Jonathan Steingard.

Hee hee.
