Cadence


so. here i sit at my little coffee shop in winter haven, florida. the hurricane completely missed us except for a couple rainstorms, a little wind, and a lackluster sunset. needless to say as i was sitting here re-reading wendy shalit's "a return to modesty," (which i will dedicate an entire post to later) i received an email from my friends from in ohio.
this is one of the highest compliments and something i am very proud of. this is cadence, named after anberlin's song on blueprints for the blackmarket. his father runs shield and buckler skateboards, and i have had the privlidge of meeting him once before. i feel very honored to vicariously be apart of their lives for many many years to come.

It did not just sweep over all of Florida. Further south in parts like Ft. Lauderdale people are left without homes and already six deaths accounted for.

But death and life are so intertwined...congratulations on Cadence.

hes wearing a 'stand true' tshirt.
why do i know? yes, thats because i have spent the last couple of hours mentally fighting for silent day which is tomorrow, and which my school just revoked approval for. not that im listening. believe it or not i dont find the reason "you cant do this because womens' choice is protected by the constitution." and what about my right to freedom of speech?

ok anyways im ranting.

the kid is adorable, especially since he's named after your song...

Yeah I plan to name my baby girl Cadence after your song too when I get older and have a child. I may change my mind but for now...

Hey friend!
I know you guys are probably tired of touring now, but...why you gotta hate on the ATL? When are you coming back?

Much joy,
Lauren

'cadence' is hands down one of my favorite songs of all time.

It may not have been a very exciting hurricane for us here in Central Florida, but I must admit... the weather has been so amazing since it passed through! I will gladly take the coolness any day.

Still, it was strange how quickly the whole thing seemed to be over.

i remember hearing "Cadence" when i was 12. i couldn't get it out of my head for weeks because of its overwhelming beauty and the way it touched me. Though i didn't realize the impact the song had on me back then, over the years it has become very clear.

Probably like many of your female friends, i'm looking forward to getting married and having a kid of my own so much. I've been picking out names for God knows how long, but i know that no matter what- i am naming my baby girl Cadence. A name that holds true meaning to me and always will.

Thank you for continuously inspiring me and leaving me in awe of what God has done in Anberlin, in their fans, and in my life. You've been a godsend.

I cried the first time I heard Cadence. I'm not even lying. Not like..baby bawling but an unexpected wash of feelings, because it brought out something in me that I hadn't felt in a long time in hearing a song.

the six word memoir

Image
there is a (not so) current writing trend that is really pretty profound. short but profound. what it is is that authors, writers, and such are writing their whole memoir in just 6 words. some creative ones that i have found are... Nobody cared, then they did. Why? - Chuck Klosterman 70 years, few tears, hairy ears. - Bill Querengesser "For Sale: baby shoes, never worn" -Ernest Hemingway recently people have been putting pictures to their 6 word memoir and they have been incredible. here are some on this NPR LINK . so i think it would be great if each one of us did one about ourself. perhaps post a photoshopped picture and 6 words, or just your 6 word memoir all on its own. either way, i think it would be so interesting to see each others lives in a simple 6 words. HERE IS MINE: .............. LEFT BEHIND A LEFT BEHIND CHILD .................... alternates for mine: always looking, never finding. feeling found. lonely child found fame, lost self. -stephen so SO many good ones...

mankind gives life to machine!

before the sudden burst of technological advancements mankind had to communicate using old fashion methods of 'talking face to face' & interpreting the body language presented which are both now as we know a barbaric and primitive form of interpersonal communication. now that we have deemed it obsolete we have to issue a new set of rules that go along with our newly formed communicational evolution. it seems to me you can NOT take the ‘old outdated ways of communication’ and apply it to the new way of computerized advancement. for instance: my brother was giving me his honest opinion in an email of something i created. even though it was a negative opinion i appreciated it because i would much rather brutal honesty then yes men. because i didn’t email him back right away, because i was working on something else, he took lack of response as a sign that i was upset or mad. tsk tsk paul for thinking that we live in the barbaric days where if i was silent after you said someth...

PACIFISM.

this is one of the hardest topics for me to discuss, so im going to keep a running tab on thoughts here till i come to my own conclusion. tolstoy, ghandi, martin luther king jr., gk chesterton. and the list of pacifist's grow. this should seem like such an easy and logical decision. war= not good. death. killing. peace= contentment, stability, life. but when you have grown up in a country where the church, state, and weaponry have all blurred into the same entity it is a much harder decision to come to. there are SO MANY INTELLIGENT PEOPLE on this blog, just read through the comments! my LORD! you guys are brillant. ang said "There is a time and a place for everything, it depends on the situation." but i would like to hear the situations in which violence is necessary. defend yourself? your family? but what about war, when do we have to kill? 'one murder made a villain, millions a hero'. your right ang this is hard because i would defend my family to the death wh...
