| Xanga brings me back. My old posts are such a compilation of jumbled thoughts. School really helps me keep my thoughts organized. I never appreciated that before. It still has the sucky aspect of consuming my life if I want a C to B average though. it also feels really good to be on break from school. I hope I can hang out. I love making music. I can't imagine my life without it. |

| We all well know, we're gonna reap what we sow, but grace, we all know, can take the place of all we owe. So why not let's forgive everyone everywhere everything ALL THE TIME! . . . JARED |

| theism is nothing more than a human definition of God, and atheism is simply the denial of that human definition!!! |

| so after three long, eventful, horrible, wonderful, regretful, beautiful, painful, joyous, confusing, fruitless and fruitful, years, that weren't long enough, i am ready for them to be done. my time as the drummer of josephine (collective) will officially be over after my last show with them on the 31st of january 2009. if you are a new or old friend of mine i would love to see you that night at the record bar in kansas city. dilon, alex, damon, martin, colby, albert, and brian, you all are wonderful human beings with infinite potential. i learned so much about life through each of you in different ways. thank you and, i love you.

| like a man comes to an altar i came into this town with the world upon my shoulders and promises passed down. and i went into the water and my father he was pleased. i built it up and i tear it down so you will be set free.
I found thieves and salesmen livin' in my fathers house and i know how they got in here and i know how to get em out. so I'm turnin this place over from floor to balcony. and just like these doves and sheep, oh you will be set free.
cuz i've always been a lover since before i drew a breathe. there are some things i loved easy, and some i've loved to death. see loves no politician cuz it listens carefully. so those who come i can't lose one so you will be set free, oh you will be set free.
Go on and take my picture go on and make me up. i'll still be your defender and you'll be my missin son. I'll send out an army just to bring you back to me. cuz regardless of your brothers lies oh you will be set free.
cuz i am my beloved's and my beloved mine. so you bring all you're history i'll bring the bread and wine, and we'll have us a party where all the drinks are on me. and as surely as the rising son oh you will be set free.
this isn't nearly as powerful without the beauty of melody, i highly recomend getting a derek webb cd cuz when i listen to him by myself i cry damn near every time. he boldly sings the truth to me. JARED |
