"are you who you say you are?"

I got a new livejournal because I just want to start a new one.
For numerous reasons.
One, my last journal is full of entries i made two years ago. I'm in a totally different place now in my life, and so many things have changed since then. Inside of me... and everything that surrounds me as well.
Two, I don't like my old user name. Xhandgunromance. a little to emo for me.
And im so over that phase in my life and that type of music. Don't get me wrong, I still listen to emo music, or screamo, or post-hardcore, or metalcore, whatever you want to classify music with emotional lyrics. But I realize that that type of music is...how should i put it...limited.
Limited in the sense that if i were to write emo songs i would only be confined to certain subjects. Subjects like...
'my girlfriend broke up with me so now i want to die and jump off a bridge"
or...
'i don't ever fit in and i never get anything right"
or...
'songs with the words blood, gun, trigger, slit, hate, etc etc in them"
you get the picture.
but i have to admit that this type of music played a big part in me wanting to learn how to play guitar.
The first time I heard Dashboard Confessional and Brand New, I was getting over someone. And that music meant a lot to me at the time. I'm not afraid to admit that I can probably sing along to every Dashboard song ever made. And i'm going to see them this October with Brand New, and i WILL sing along to each song. But in terms of musical talent and writing abilities, Brand New has improved tremendously, while Dashboard has become so mainstream, more emo, and written lyrics i can write in my sleep. Their new cd was VERY dissapointing.
What happened to Chris and his acoustic guitar?
Anyways, I'm ranting again. I'm not sure what my point was. Oh, that's right. Change.
Change has been a big part of my life the last two years. So many things have happened that i don't know where to start. But i will try to summarize things in my entries from here on. For now, let's just start with recent occurences.
Today I might go see The Spill Canvas. I was supposed to go with Jeremy. But I think he might not be able to go because he's tired and stuff. Oh well. I have to find someone to go with now.
So we have our circuit overseer visit this week in Mt. Eden congregation and I'm looking forward to the DVD presentation that will be shown tomorrow night at the Kindgdom Hall. It's supposedly about Kingdom Halls beings built in other countries. He said to bring a kleenex because it's a tearjerker.
Well, I better stop writing because i need to get back to class.

I could write forever.
