The only thing running through my mind while uploading these was, "WHY DID I CUT MY HAIR?!?!!?" Yeah... I chopped off all my hair just a couple days ago. Mostly because my undercut was getting annoying, and because I had all these weird layers from how thick I kept my bangs last year. Sigh. It needed to be done, I think.
But anyway, hi, these are my current favorite shoes. They're comfy and easy to walk in but still give me the extra height. Also, this shirt is by one of my buddy's bands, called The Chain Gang Of 1974, which I'm very fond of, and would recommend checking out.
It’s a vicious cycle. The gray clouds roll in and you can tell that something is wrong, but you don’t know what. The cold wind ruffles your hair and sends chills down your spine. Anxiety level rise, as you wait for the bad news to suddenly explode in your face. You still don’t know what though. The clouds grow darker and darker, and more vicious. You try so hard to hold back the tears. Your eyes burn, and the howling wind in your face doesn’t help. Finally, lightening breaks out from the clouds and flashes in your face. The loud, angry crash of thunder that follows yells. It tells you everything you were afraid of. And in that moment, you know. You can no longer hold back the tears that rush down your face like a floodgate as the rain starts to pour. “He doesn’t love me anymore.” And you know then, that you’ve lost it all. You’ve lost the only one you ever cared to truly love. Just like that, it’s done. The thunder roars as the rain smacks into your face. It’s as though life has just bitch slapped you and yelled, “See this? I can take away anyone that you ever loved. He never loved you in return. You’re such a fool.” As the storm slows down and dies away, you’re left with the realization that everything that made you happy had died away as well, just in a matter of moments. The unanswered text, the silence that screamed everything you were afraid to hear. But, time moves on.
I actually wrote this just last night. Part one of a small series regarding events that have occurred within this past year. This song set me off, and inspired this series. Music inspires me more than anything. Let me know what you think. Want to see more of this on the blog?
I'm pulling through.

As some of you may know, I've been volunteering at a nonprofit all ages venue, called Kuppajoe, for over three years now. We are a ministry oriented nonprofit, with the responsibility to give kids a safe place to hang out, and to help the Fresno music scene to thrive. We're here to welcome kids with open arms, who have often before been outcasted by Christians and churchgoers, those who are supposed to show love to everyone, yet don't always act on it. We're here to reach out to kids, to make a connection, to allow them to enjoy the art that is music. Here's a video that'll tell you more about Kuppajoe, and what it is we do, and what it means to us (yeah, you'll see me ramble a bit in here, haha).
For more information on what we're about, and a schedule of upcoming shows, please check us out at the following:
This place has become very near and dear to my heart, and I would much appreciate you checking out what I spend a lot of my weekends doing. This place has become a second home, and the people here a family.
