My ponderings this evening

And sometimes I think that I’m not any good at all
And sometimes I wonder why, why I’m even here at all
But then you assure me

I’m a little more than useless
And when I think that I can’t do this
You promise me that I’ll get through this
And do something right
Do something right for once

And so today, or rather this morning as it is a rather silly time, I have these lyrics in my head from Relient K from a song called ‘More than useless’, I have no idea why they appeared but it strikes me that Relient K have a very odd way of looking at Christianity, the song talks about God saying to us ‘You’re a little more than useless’ which once you realise what it’s on about actually kinda makes sense, other lyrics from them have included ‘It’s the beauty of Grace which makes life not fair‘ and ‘I know to live you must give your life away‘. These strangely put lyrics seem to really click with me, it is the beauty of God’s Grace which makes our lives as Christians unfair! Yes, I did say unfair, it is unfair that we get to heaven, we don’t deserve it but God makes our lives unfair! For some reason I like things put in odd ways like that, seems to click with me.

And in other news…

I read today that Travis Barker (Drummer of: Blink 182, Transplants, Boxcar Racer and +44)
will be divorcing his second wife, for me this confirms my thoughts that having Travis involved in something is a bad idea, everything he is in falls apart, 2 marriages, the awesome Blink 182, Boxcar Racer ended as did ‘The Transplants’ alongside a side project with a DJ, which of course leaves the question ‘When will Plus 44 end’ before they’ve even started.

I think the thing is I can’t see bands like Plus 44 and Angels and Airwaves lasting, I think at some point Tom and Mark will end up reforming blink (probably without Travis!), Angels and Airwaves (although awesome musically) is way too ‘I’m Tom look at me and my ego whilst I dance’ , though I think perhaps Plus 44 has more chance of surviving.

Anyway bloggers, here are my thoughts for the evening, I shall now have a bath and proceed to sleep at some point. Good night watch out for bed bugs!
