Right now, I have been listening to a lot of different music trying to gain some inspiration for a new song. In the past, I have limited myself to so few bands that it is difficult to gain a decent perspective on songwriting. Recently I have decided to try and take a break from my usual iPod rotation of Green Day, My Chemical Romance, The Ramones, Nirvana, etc. I have been trying some other stuff that I knew I liked but some of this stuff is really growing on me. I've been trying classic Punk Rock Heroes like The Offspring, NOFX, Bad Religion, The Clash, Anti-Flag, and the likes. Also some harder stuff like Avenged Sevenfold, Slipknot, Blink 182, Rise Against and stuff like that. I am really starting to like this new stuff. I'm telling you guys I am close to writing a new song. An idea is firmenting but it's just not there yet.
So, it's officical that me and Jett are in fact starting a band. It's been a talk no walk for the past weeks but we decided to just do it. Some possible names are The Curse, Blood Death Roses, Sentiment, The Freaks, Blood, Long Lost Enemy, The Departed, or The Village Idiots. I'll keep you updated on that. Keep coming back and reading this. Once again, tell people about it and get me some more followers.
Thanks,
Dylan

My Birthday
It was an awesome day. I'm so glad I got to spend most of it with my family. Hopefully you all comment on here and enjoy the posts. I am glad you guys are enjoying both blogs. Please recommend this blog to any of your friends or whatever. Same goes with The Corpse Party. Hopefully you guys are enjoying that one. I put a poll up asking which blog you liked better. I will still update both. Vote and leave comments.
I woke up today and went to school. It was an alright day. Some of my "friends" were being a bit.....jerky. I think I did really well on my Social Studies test. Yeah, then I came home. (yes!!!)
I got a bunch of calls and e-mails and Myspace messages from friends and family wishing me a Happy Birthday. It was. Guys please go read my Mom's family blog. She spent waaaaaaay more time then me. I loved what she wrote.
Alright guys peace out and comment,
Dylan

Update on Life
Well, I think it's about time I got a little bit more into updating you guys about my life right now. Today is my birthday. I'm having a really good day so far. I am basically living my life. On Sunday, I had my interview to become a teacher with Bishop Kempton. It went pretty well. I'm not sure of the date of the ordination. I just know it will be soon. I really am going to miss my deacon's quorum. I was their first counselor for a while. I enjoyed being a part of them.
I've been writing a lot of songs recently. I just wrote one today called "Give Me a Punk Rock Revolution". I've written some other songs too. I have a lot to talk about as I continue to realize the social problems this nation is having. I have a political blog called "The Corpse Party" and I am going to update that next. I have a lot of opinions on the Obama administration so far. I won't get into that here though.
I am a part of a couple bands right now. There's an alternative/punk rock band I have been asked to do vocals and guitar for by my friend Tylor. He was originally the vocalist but decided that he can't sing and play guitar at the same time. I accepted although right now, my Epi's power chord is busted so I am waiting to fix that. And then of course, there is the band I keep trying to start with Jett. He says he wants to start a band but neither of us really have time to start a band from scratch. We are putting it off but hopefully we can start it eventually.
All right peace out guys,
Dylan

UNTITLED POST BECAUSE I HAVE NO POINT TO MAKE
Heh, excuse the title. I really don't have much in particular to talk about. Well, it's that time of year again. Just now is the time that I try to read some Christmas stories. I love Christmastime. It's really the whole season that I look forward to. Tomorrow starts the one week countdown. Well, acutually it's past midnight so I guess today starts the one week countdown.
I am beyond ready to go to sleep and everything but I have to start writing in here more. I'm making it a habit. I encourage all of you to start a good habit and break a bad habit. I'm working on good habits right now. I recently started praying every night again. I also have been writing in my blog. It's the bad habits that are hardest to break. I should quit drinking soda. I know I should but it's going to be hard.
I hope soon to start reading my scriptures everynight. I haven't done that in a while. I might start that tonight. My only problem is starting again. It's amazing how many times I have read the first 10 chapters of Nephi 1. It's getting past that part that is hard. That is why I should really start and just push past it. Well, good night everybody. Merry Christmas.

Overdue update
Hey peeps,
It has been a long time since my last post. Lemme just update you guys on my life.
My brother Slade turned 11, which he truly believes is soooooo much bigger than 10. Heh. He, with his birthday money, bought a NERF gun which is weird...lol.
Now the only thing I wanted to post about was my political agenda which I know will annoy my mom very much. As you know the auto bill didn't pass through the Senate which I must say is bittersweet. I am disappointed that the bill didn't get passed but I am relieved that for the first time the country is thinking before it does something.
A recurring theme in the Bush presidency has been a never-ending chain of knee-jerk reactions. That hasn't gotten us anywhere but war. On the other hand doing nothing led us to the recession so we defineately have to analyze ourselves as a nation.
Sometimes I think that the morals that our country was founded upon was a knee-jerk reaction to communism. We became so scared of the government turning into Great Britain that we become infatuated a slightly hypocritical form of anarchy.
The whole point having a government is to make sure we as American citizens do not get screwed over. We elect leaders to make sure that what we want is getting done. But that's not happening. We need to start questioning. Everybody is so concerned with pushing their agenda that we forget why we have a government. I'm guilty of it too. The nation doesn't care anymore. Elections seem to distract America from the big problem. America's future. This is no longer a Democrat versus Republican or Liberal versus Conservative or Red against Blue. It is right versus wrong. And if socialism is what this country needs to preserve the American dream. Then let it be so.
Coming from an anarchist, these words of socialism probably sound pretty out of place but the fact is is that there is time for protest of government after millions of people aren't in danger of horrible horrible consequences of a stalled economy. Do your job senators. The people demand it.
Oh by the way, I will be opening a new Politics Blog called THE CORPSE PARTY. I will explain the title in the blog. Until then. Dylan
