Goodness...

It's been a long while since I've written anything here. A ton of stuff has happened that's worth writing about, but there's no way I'm gonna try and remember it all. I'll try and sum it up as best as possible.

Had fun at:

Arkansas
Dallas and the surrounding area
Ranger's Game
Warped Tour
July 4th party
Another Ranger's Game
The movies: Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Wanted, Hancock

Looking forward to:

TNA Wrestling Live in tyler this friday
The Dark Knight

Listening to:

Relient K: The Bird and the Bee Sides (Very Solid EP, a lot of music for 10 bucks)
Angels and Airwaves (Saw them at warped so i started listening to them again)
Myself trying to make a record with my friends

That's a very condensed list I'm sure.

Lots of stuff is going on with the Tune In Tomorrow record. We spent the last 3 days at T-Bird(studios) tracking drums, bass, and guitars. We decided to retrack a lot of things so that (believe it or not) this will get done quicker and because of that we'll be able to include two more songs. Can't say when yet, but things are moving pretty quickly now. We've settled into a really nice drum sound, and i've also discovered a really thick guitar sound in these recent sessions. I think it's shaping up to be a great record. Not because of us, but because of what God's doing. If it were up to me this record would never be released. I can't do it on my own, and without Him this record would lack purpose. I'm done throwing out dates or general seasons that may contain the release of this record because my previous predictions have been so awful. This is a tough business to be in when you're going the independent route, and an expensive one. But, God has blessed us with the means to do lots of things on our own at no cost.

Anyhow, I watched my (now) favorite baseball player Josh Hamilton at the homerun derby tonight. He broke the record for homeruns in a single round with 28. Pretty amazing. They wipe your score clean in the finals, so he ended up losing 3 to 5. When interviewed afterwards, he said "I want to thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, I give Him the Glory for everything." It wasn't about winning, it was about telling a sold out yankee stadium about Jesus. Pretty cool to see someone who 3 years ago was heavily hooked on drugs now breaking home run records. People can see where he was, where he is now, and he will tell you how he got there. That makes more sense to me than sticking to our pews and pulpits. I just stuck it to the pews and pulpits. Okay, that's dumb. Moving on.

Back to the record. The only things I can say for kind of sure about the record are:

It will be called "A Beauty Not So Fair"

It will have 14 tracks which are in somewhat of a particular order (subject to change)

Quote
Ode to Those who have Fallen Short
Fake Life
Beauty Not So Fair
Why?
Badly Burned
AnnaJo(Graduation) or Graduation(AnnaJo) or AnnaJo or Graduation (not a fan of parenthesis so we'll see))))
Color
Little Square Box
That, I Give
Politics and Spirit Sticks
Thin Ice
One Lost Cause, One Way to Find It
End of the Beginning

And, it will (more than likely) be released on GoDigital Records.

So, there's that.

I'm gonna start posting blogs about individual songs as time goes by.

Anyhow, I'll keep posting as to keep you posted.
