Now for some gear.....

I traded this










For this!!


I'll get back to you on the details.

One kick ass LJ song. Guess who sings this one.

"all around me"

My hands are searching for you
My arms are outstretched towards you
I feel you on my fingertips
My tongue dances behind my lips for you

This fire rising through my being
Burning I'm not used to seeing you

I'm alive, I'm alive

I can feel you all around me
Thickening the air I'm breathing
Holding on to what I'm feeling
Savoring this heart that's healing

My hands float up above me
And you whisper you love me
And I begin to fade
Into our secret place

The music makes me sway
The angels singing say we are alone with you
I am alone and they are too with you

I'm alive, I'm alive

I can feel you all around me
Thickening the air I'm breathing
Holding on to what I'm feeling
Savoring this heart that's healing

And so I cry
The light is white
And I see you

I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive

I can feel you all around me
Thickening the air I'm breathing
Holding on to what I'm feeling
Savoring this heart that's healing

Take my hand
I give it to you
Now you own me
All I am
You said you would never leave me
I believe you
I believe

I can feel you all around me
Thickening the air I'm breathing
Holding on to what I'm feeling
Savoring this heart that's healed

TBP

So back in April of 2007 there was a band that was entering the scene. That band was called "Ten Bullet Plan". But in order for you to understand, we will need to go all the way back to July of 2005 when the band was conceived. It was around the time of those famous hurricanes that swept the nation that this band took it's form. Front man and guitarist was Marky, on bass we had Jesse Osborn, and on drums we had good old Andrew Forsberg.
The sound was "Nu Metalish" with a dash of hardcore, but it was pretty steeped in the sound of the
"linkin park" era. None of us liked the 3 piece feel and we all loved the way Tony sounded on vox so we invited him to join up and the band was formed. We practiced a lot, played a few shows, we even released a song "the flood"but never did much. Soon after we all parted ways and the Band seemed to be lost forever.

In 2006 we decided to play one of ur songs on stage at Wordstock 3 for fun and it seemed to come off pretty well, so we kept that in the back of our minds. One year later in April of 2007 we all felt that it was time to awaken the sleeping giant and bring our songs to the masses.
At that point we had a new line up, Andrew on screaming vox, Tony and I on Clean vox, Jess and I on dualing guitars, and Tim on drums. The sound went from whimpy/whiney "linkin park" to ball busting Texas Metal with screaming, solos, sqeals, dive bombs, break downs, and all that buttery goodness. We had about 5 songs down and were ready to hit WordStock with it. But, the Lord's ways are not our ways. We soon found out that the style was a bit too heavy for WS, so we had to once again shelf TBP. It was sad, but we all knew that the Lord had a plan.

By the end of 2007 things had changed so drastically that we thought the music would be gone forever. I moved from the Area, and Justin decided to move on to China. But in March 2008 we decided to cut a song with the help of Peter who had recently moved to Texas. It actually turned out pretty good and we all feel that it's only the beginning. We'll be releasing the song on the glitch asap and you can expect plenty more where that came from. If all goes well, we'll be able to take this band all the way. Keep it in your prayers.

Awesome...

Some sweet lyrics

Guess who wrote this:

Come you masters of war

You that build all the guns
You that build the death planes
You that build the big bombs
You that hide behind walls
You that hide behind desks
I just want you to know
I can see through your masks

You that never done nothin'
But build to destroy
You play with my world
Like it's your little toy
You put a gun in my hand
And you hide from my eyes
And you turn and run farther
When the fast bullets fly

Like Judas of old
You lie and deceive
A world war can be won
You want me to believe
But I see through your eyes
And I see through your brain
Like I see through the water
That runs down my drain

You fasten the triggers
For the others to fire
Then you set back and watch

New album is in the works...

Just thought i'd let you all know that Jason, Dan, and I have begun writing an album. We haven't yet thought of a band Name yet but if you have any ideas, let me know. Here's what i came up with so far:

-Kings and protectors
- within three months
- preferably in person
-50 people
- the eventual goal
- former police chief
- Abraham's girlfriend
- the meeting
-sack the fort
-shake the dream
-stab the castle
-undead blackness
-suffer the children
- the "bait"
-pot luck dinner


In case you are wondering, I came up with that list during one of my home's offensive meetings. I may have been slightly influenced by what i was hearing.
Anyway, should be ready to record soon. I'll keep you posted.

My Loves

I will now introduce you to the little boy and girl who hold my heart.
