there is life here.

straight edge, vegetarian, posi, pacifist, musician, non denominational christian, occasional writer. i'm probably older than you think i am. i love to travel.

i spend my time going to shows, writing music, and doing graphic design for a living. i've seen the scene ebb and flow, but i'm not going anywhere. more than a decade here and hardcore and music is still my family.

i am currently playing bass/guitar/electronics in a post-rock band called analecta. i also play guitar and do vocals for a melodic hardcore band called Chin Up! with my "free" time i write and record solo material under the moniker In The Absence Of Dreaming.

a bit of a rant

so… a friend of mine posted earlier on facebook “Got the divorce papers in the mail finally! Is it my birthday?!”
and it kind of pissed me off a bit.
see, i was at her wedding, and i happen to know why she’s getting divorced.
it’s actually probably the worst reason i’ve ever heard for a divorce.
“i tried it and just decided i couldn’t be tied down like that”

maybe you should have thought of that before you got married and made a promise to love someone for the rest of your life.
seriously. people these days are so flippant and so quick to forget about promises they made in front a crowd of witnesses. “well… i thought i loved you and promised i would, but… nevermind, i guess i was wrong.” 

maybe i’m a little biased on this, but… i have WAY too many friends who are divorced now, including myself.
(i know some of them are following me on here.) 

point of rant?
if you aren’t fully committed to it.. don’t do it. 
this is particularly important if you are a Christian. you just made a contract between you, someone else and God and just said “nah, screw it.”

there are grounds that make sense for divorce (cheating, abuse, that sort of thing)… but … just ‘cause you didn’t feel like it anymore? 
marriage isn’t like a shirt you can take off and put on randomly.

humanity doesn’t make any sense sometimes.

obviously this rant rambled a bit, but… i felt the need of venting.
