Too Much Wasted Time

As I think back on this last month, I realize I wasted a lot of time. I’ll be honest, I log onto Facebook every day. Once I get home from school, I open up my back pack, pull out my homework, and log onto Facebook. It just seems natural. For me its Facebook, but for [...]

live. laugh. love. = what God wants for us

My Gripe With the Jonas Brothers.

Oh the Jonas Brothers. Everyone’s heard of the Jonas Brothers. If you haven’t, you’ve been living under a boulder in Antarctica. Their great success is due to partly to Disney’s insane, ridiculous marketing  and their infectious hooks and choruses. You’re also either a Jonas hater or Jonas lover. That’s how it goes. A great majority [...]

Radiohead – Videotape

One small, overlooked song on Radiohead’s new album In Rainbows is an amazing piece of art. The lyrics are few, yet many. The singer, Thom Yorke, tells of a story of a man who has just died. This is seen in the lyrics “When I am at the pearly gates.” He is talking about looking [...]

Crank That

I spent a lot of time trying to analyze deeper meanings in The song “Crank That” by Soulja Boy Tellem, but I couldn’t possibly find anything.

ANTM

Reality TV shows are a funny thing. They take ordinary people and make them into stars.

Wall-e

Wall-e. Come on, it’s a movie to be seen. It’s unique because the first hour of it has no dialogue–just Wall-e making random noises. That was kind of frustrating to me at first, but then I learned to enjoy it because I began to use my imagination more since it provoked me to actually use [...]

new hit by all american rejects is very immoral.

Just recently, a band with a  very successful past released a new hit called “gives you hell.” This song really makes me think twice about liking this band. The lyrics in it are very immoral. They are basically sending a message that they hope they give people hell when they see them. That is a [...]

Noah’s Arc

Some time ago, my friend gave me a DVD. The DVD was titled “Noah’s Arc.” I quickly realized it was a surf film. This is what got me to watch the film originally. After watching for a few short moments, I realized this film was more than just surfing. It explained how one man, Noah [...]

You found me

I was listening to the radio the other day and this really amazing song came on by the Fray. I don’t really care for the lead singer’s voice, but for some reason this song really struck me. I went home and looked up the lyrics and realized that it was actually about God. The song starts [...]

A Flawless Performance

The movie Fight Club is probably the most underated movies of the 20th Century. It is epic. It is incredible. It is, dare I say, flawless. Not saying that all of the philosophies (or suggestive content) in the movie were flawless, but when it comes down to it, the story, the acting, and the message, [...]

Yes Man: A pretty decent movie

Yes Man was a recent movie with one of my favorite comedians Jim Carrey.

Since he is so disatisfied with his life, [...]

On Crossing Our Bridges

In their new album Appeal to Reason, Rise Against writes a new song that may have some deeper meaning to it than most would expect. This popular group is well-liked for their deep lyrics, but in this song the Strength to Go On, it completely surprises me. The usual Rise Against song may contain some explicit [...]

Cherry Chapstick

I find it extremely hard to believe that this song was #1 on the charts for so long this previous summer. The first time I had heard it, I was a little surprised. When I found out it was so popular, I was even a little shocked. But then I thought about it, and I [...]

Matthias Replaces Judas

Matthias Replaces Judas Lyrics to “Matthias Replaces Judas” by Showbread:  it is so that my transgressions have born a withered fruit, the sun has scorched the rising plans; alas they have no root, the bleached bones of animals bound by leather strips, dance through the air with laughter as i wield this wicked whip, as [...]
