asked me why I have a tumblr.
Honestly, because I like to organize my thoughts in some kind of chronology.
So, right now:
Writing for my band’s (Come What May’s) debut full-length.

Lyrically -

• Faith
• Government
• Empathy

Eros and Agape.
Wow. Hip-Hop/Rap used to be good. I forgot.
You crossed an ocean to come back to your home.
Let’s see if you can fix it.
My Father just got back from Iraq. For this, For God, For Family, For Nali, For Friends who are Family, For enemies, I am thankful.
Thrice is not breaking up. If nothing has broken us up by now, I doubt anything ever could.
However, we will be taking a break from being a full-time band, and the upcoming tour in the Spring will be the last one for the foreseeable future.
Playing music for the past 13 years with…
All I have to say to this is… Thank you.
I’m backwards, but I want so much for you.
Winter lover,
Come press your lips to mine,
Let your flesh and these sheets intwine,
Winter lover,
Come and be mine.
has meaning.
Everything is awful.
A bunch of kids have befriended me on teh facebook.
This is presumably because they like my band, which flatters and humbles me to no end.
But.
I hate seeing them say rude, racist, and ignorant things there, but I don’t want to run the risk of being a ‘douchebag’ that’s ‘too good to be friends with people’. So I don’t delete them, or ignore their friend requests. I just want to delete the whole thing, but it’s so useful as a marketing tool.
I just don’t get when it became to cool to be so blatantly cruel and rude to other people.
Every time you say something sexist, racist, hateful, hurtful, whatever.
You perpetuate where we are as a society (even if you don’t think you do). We won’t move forward if you keep saying/doing stupid things.
I’m just so lost when it comes to people. Don’t get it.
Lord have Mercy on my stupid generation.
We’ve been conditioned to be stupid, to dull our own senses.
This is all part of it, part of what we’ve been sold.
Things are set to change.
Playing our last show with our soon to be former bassist tonight in the place where it all began.
Gonna miss you kid.
Love,
Tim.
Please check out my band, it takes a couple of minutes just to listen to our new songs, please listen, it’d me more than the world to me.

Absolutely.
Where pride has never been, and never will.
Was I really, listening?
Or was I just waiting for my turn to talk?
