Hello everybody-

I just got back from Missouri last night and I just gotta say that is a long ride. I have been on longer rides but this ride just felt like forever. I was hoping to stay as long as Mom and Dad had planned but they were having trouble sleeping and we all were getting a cold. I just have a runny nose and a minor sore throat. I had fun and I am really going to miss all of that beautiful land out at my Aunt Tracy and Uncle Eric's. We are not really related but I treat them like family. I am not really related to most of the people in my family. Blood does not make you family. Family to me is any special bond between two people.

Even though the house is small I still had a lot of time to myself because of the fact that I was constantly out in the woods. As I was out there I encountered I whole lot of snakes and I even killed one. I think that I stepped on it's tail when I was walking and it coiled up to get ready to fight so I crushed it's head and snapped it's neck before it could bite me. It could have very well been poisonous.I wasn't gonna take any chances.

Also in the woods I practiced my vocals because I am planning to record my bands demo this summer. It's the church band I’m in called Eternity. I am excited about getting this on Cd and I will be putting our stuff on the internet for everybody to hear. It's still in the planning stages and I am trying to figure out how to transfer the files to Mp3. My vocals have changed since last year I noticed and my voice has gotten a lot deeper. This will make the songs sound better. I never planned on singing and I really don't think that I am that good but I don't claim to be a pro and I can only do what I know how to do.
When I first started I wasn't trained at all and I didn't really know how to control my voice and I had no idea what I was capable of. The more I have sung in front of people and practice I have had,the more progress I have made. I used to be so shy that when the band first started I couldn't even sing in front of my parents and it was hard enough singing in front of my band mates. Now it only takes a few seconds to warm up and I will sing in front of just about anybody.

I also took my aunt’s acoustic into the woods and worked on squeezing in a few more riffs for the demo. It's hard to write good music and be original at the same time. I think that I got this down though. I may even have my old bassist (My cousin Amanda who I played a show with) play on this demo too. My friend Vincent will be coming out for the summer to record. He is still in California. I miss him a whole lot. He was supposed to come out for Spring Break but the tickets were very expensive and it wouldn't make sense to spend that much money just to see him for only 2 weeks.

I got to drive when I was out at my aunt's. My uncle and I drove around in his feild in his truck. I cranked up some metal and we went crazy. I had a blast but I don't know how I would handle driving on a highway. I also got a dagger and some clothes from their daughter's fiancee. I think that I am going to start collecting daggers. Brrr... It is cold here. It's hard to go from 70 degree weather in Missouri to Mid 40's here in Ohio. I think that the drastic weather change is what made me sick.

I am so mad!! I broke my bottom guitar string today and I am broke right now so I can't go out and get another right now. I break that same string frequently usually because of my constant tuning changes. If I can't play the guitar I am usually bored or mad....That's my life!!! Usually there is always something to do but I still hate not playing guitar...

Anyways now that I am done with my coughing fit I am going to leave you with the lyrics for one of the songs off of my bands upcoming demo. I also plan to have Vincent sing a lot more than he has in the past. He has a very soft voice. Mine is harder and in other genre's I can be more agressive sounding so I have to work hard to make my voice fit in such a light style of music.

SINNER TO SAINT
Music by: Vince Glancey & Brandon Mitchell
Lyrics by: Brandon Mitchell & Vince Glancey

Verse 1:
God forgive me for I am a sinner
Wash my spirit clean
I am tired of livin my life so grey
Help me follow your ways

Chorus:
And I....Just want to let you know I'm coming home
And I....Think about you all the time

Verse 2:
God I'm in a time of need
Please give me inner strength
I need somebody to lean on
Only you can take me way

Chorus

Verse 3:
It must have been hard giving your son
Nothing can amount to it no one
As they nailed him to the cross
Not knowing he'd save every one

Chorusx2

Solo( Mitchell)

Verse 4:
As I take my final breath
I look back on my life
And you've been by my side
Now it's time for me to say goodbye

Outro: All the time

Well I hope you like the lyrics. I wrote that song shortly after I was saved and became serious about the church and God so it holds a lot of meaning for me. That song is definatley one of my favorites for this project.

I really hope this weather warms up soon because I love to be outside if I am not playing the guitar. I love the feeling of the warm air and I am always my happiest spending time with Vincent riding bikes and causing chaos. LOL!!! During the summer we ride our bikes everywhere we can. I love riding to the library. I'm not much on doing tricks and stuff because I happen to be clumsy and I wreck alot. Okay I had better stop talking about the summer because it is driving me crazy thinking about it. Well I am done typing for today. Expect another entry in a couple of weeks.

God bless you all...

Hi! I am glad that you had a good time on your trip! Guess what, I have an Uncle Eric too, but he isn't that far away from us.

I know what you mean when the weather changes, we have that a lot here in Kentucky! It is really nice out today, it is 70 degrees. It is the first day of Spring and nice weather! I hope it stays like this! What temperature is it where you live?

I like the lyrics to the song you wrote! Well, I hope you have a wonderful day, and stop by our blog sometime if you haven't all ready. Bye!
