Second time seeing them in concert. A lot closer this time. Biloxi, MS @ The Hard Rock Casino

I'm just a normal boy
That sank when I fell overboard
My ship would leave the country
But I'd rather swim ashore
Without a life vest I'd be stuck again
Wish I was much more masculine
Maybe then I could learn to swim
Like 'fourteen miles away'
Now floating up and down
I spin, colliding into sound
Like whales beneath me diving down
I'm sinking to the bottom of my
Everything that freaks me out
The lighthouse beam has just run out
I'm cold as cold as cold can be
be
I want to swim away but don't know how
Sometimes it feels just like I'm falling in the ocean
Let the waves up take me down
Let the hurricane set in motion... yeah
Let the rain of what I feel right now...come down
Let the rain come down
Where is the coastguard
I keep looking each direction
For a spotlight, give me something
I need something for protection
Maybe flotsam junk will do just fine
the jetsam sunk, I'm left behind
I'm treading for my life believe me
(How can I keep up this breathing)
Not knowing how to think
I scream aloud, begin to sink
My legs and arms are broken down
With envy for the solid ground
I'm reaching for the life within me
How can one man stop his ending
I thought of just your face
Relaxed, and floated into space
I want to swim away but don't know how
Sometimes it feels just like I'm falling in the ocean
Let the waves up take me down
Let the hurricane set in motion... yeah
Let the rain of what I feel right now...come down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down
Now waking to the sun
I calculate what I had done
Like jumping from the bow (yeah)
Just to prove I knew how (yeah)
It's midnight's late reminder of
The loss of her, the one I love
My will to quickly end it all
Set front row in my need to fall
Into the ocean, end it all
Into the ocean, end it all
Into the ocean, end it all
into the ocean...end it all
I want to swim away but don't know how
Sometimes it feels just like I'm falling in the ocean
Let the waves up take me down
Let the hurricane set in motion (yeah)
Let the rain of what I feel right now...come down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down
(In to space)
Into the ocean (goodbye) end it all (goodbye)
Into the ocean (goodbye) end it all (goodbye)
I thought of just your face
"This is life. I know exactly what the fuck I'm doing. Every day I wake up knowing who and what I'm pursuing. And I know my life is beautiful, not far away. And I'm trying to make it through the night to get to this fucking day."
Blue October, "Things We Do At Night"
At the house of blues, sunset strip in hollywood california, 3-31-07. Ryan plays violin and justin (In white) Is the lead singer. He's awesome.
"A real-life script of how
Mistakes became our medicine, so
Delay the hurtful words
Of complicated overcast
Please take the message that I'm
Picking up my chin at last
I said my confidence
It gets stronger when you're next to me
But we pray from miles away
In quest for what we long to be
I might crumble, I might take a fall again
(Still missing you)
I might crumble, I might take a fall again
But you're my everlasting friend"

i was listening to this in my car the other day, and it hit me kind of hard. this friend and i maybe talk once a week, and even though things can get awkward, I'm incredibly grateful for his friendship. I'm not sure he knows that, or if I could say it right without coming of the wrong way (a touch weird since we used to see each other). I rarely connect with people in so many ways, I'm just glad to know that someone like me exists. Going to see him soon, which is exciting to be able to talk to somebody that I don't have to explain myself to and just gets me because it's how they are. This all sounds incredibly cheesy, but oh well, what can you do?
(I'm partially cheating because I know he looks at these things, so if it's too cheesy, I'm sorry).
I can't exactly explain how this represents that song, it's just want I imagined when hearing it. As if you know your friends are right there over your shoulder when you need them.
i want to show you just how fascinating kissing is,
when earth collides with all the space between.
i'm reaching farther than i ever have before,
leaving all who broke your heart upon the shore.
i may be some sort of crazy,
we may be some sort of crazy,
but i swear on everything i have and more.
thank you ghostbones for the texture (:
view it large, pleaaase?

"Today I don't have to fall apart.
I don't have to be afraid.
I don't have to let the damage consume me."
-Blue October, "Fear"
I will enjoy my life.

My life is forever changed by the musicians that affect me. So many thanks to the artists who aren't afraid to be themselves, who aren't afraid to lay it on the line, who aren't afraid to be genuine. They change lives. They change hearts. They are my hope.
I apologize for the phone photo, but they wouldn't let me use my good camera. However, this photo still speaks to me. I love that I was able to capture this moment. I only got a few pictures because I wanted to enjoy the moments, but the few I did I am proud of.
