ARTvs.WARShow poetry

In and out till August 24th, this tour is going to be torture.

These writings are to those who have wept. These writings are to those who haven't looked deep enough into the correct resolutions. Wrong again but stronger now, we can face this. Fight life with life. Fight hate with love. No one can take your pride from you.

But isn't it funny how one's compassion diminishes when his or her own perils rise?
It's not all about the numbers. Who should we ask for? Who should we turn to if all we know is burning bridges? Don't speak to me like I'm a stranger. Turn your thoughts to the roots, for we've been caught up in the branches for so long. Don't run if you don't know your walk.

I'm Brad, I'm the definition of simplicity. I play guitar and sing a bit for a band. I'm terrified of spiders, marriage, and chicken noodle soup. If you don't count the common cold, I've never been sick in my entire life. My temperature is abnormally ninety-five degrees on average. I'm six foot and two inches tall, one hundred and sixty pounds. I exercise often and eat right. I don't drink alcohol, nor do I do any drugs of any kind, this includes aspirin(things of that sort). I set my goals high, but ninety percent of the time I reach them. This summer I have two major goals: Success at Warped Tour, double back flip on my HARO Forum Pro Lite! :]] I see this world for what it really is; bright skies, and country sides. I'm a very strong Christian but I do make mistakes. I have self-respect, morals and common courtesy, this I know. I try to walk the straightest line I possibly can, this is proving to be very difficult. When I was young, I've always wanted to be an astronaut or a firefighter. Right now, I'm working for my father's company and gathering money for a mission trip to Zimbabwe, Africa. I have a wonderful girlfriend, Emily. She's the most intelligent, kind, and caring individual I think I've ever met. If you need someone to talk to, I'll try to be here for you as much as possible :].

  • Begin to boldly do things which you may previously never have thought of doing, or been too hesitant to attempt. So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of whic

    I have to admit, I am terrified of spiders and chicken noodle soup as well, (refuse to eat the stuff...pleh ) you know, one time I was fiddling around online and a huge picture of a spider popped up on the screen and I passed out! ppl still make fun of me for it!! lol. Anyway, loved your work (which is totally not really my style, but you blew me away with your writing and changed my mind...what success!) and I love your views of life. I need that right now..so I am definately going to add you as a favorite, if you don't mind.

    oh, and btw...i have to agree with Spirit-of-Light...great name- grabbed my attention..I never just randomly pick someone on that list on the far right of my screen. But I was curious about this name...lol. glad I did so.

    good luck in all you do
