The Trip
How in the world did I every get to do this? Well about a week before school was over I emailed YWAM (Youth with a mission). They had an opening spot in this program. Someone had drop out. It strated like 2 days after SOW ended. O ya and it costed $3000 (US) which I didn't have. So I needed $1000 in the next 2 days. Which God obviously provided. It was crazy people just started giving me money. The day I left Marmac I hopped on a bus to Montana. It took me 2 days and 18 hours on a bus to get there. Although they would let me across the border because they thought I was some punk kid trying to live there. So my parents had to pick me up and take me across. Then on the way the bus broke down. What a trip. The first month was full of practicing for 5 hours a day some time 2 a day practices. Getting to know people and dancers that were going to Africa. (nice looking too). Anyway lets get into them. (stories I mean). _________________ Brent |

Thought the time there we had a on going challenge. Try to find the ugliest dog there. They had some really bad looking ones. When we got to the mental institution there was one who took the prize. It was small and sick looking but that wasn't what go him first. You know how a joint in your arm bends well this dogs snout did the same. Everytime it would sniff. His snout would bend like a joint in your arm. It was funny. It must have broken it's nose and just healed that way. 1st prize. _________________ Brent |

One day I decided to get my eyebrow pierced considering it was really cheap. We didn't have a translater that day but we got it done anyway. Went to the place pointed at what I wanted. They said a bunch of this in spanish and but on the hard core music, shoved the needle in and it was done. Didn't hurt or anything but I didn't have that much to eat that day. Soon after I went white and was getting dizzy. I almost pass out but didn't. It was weird. _________________ Brent |

|
|
We were play a gig and it had to be the best one. There was so much enegry tones of people jumping around and going crazy, maushing. It was so great the drummer stood up and would come smashing down on his cymbals. He cracked his "ride cymbal." You know the big thick one. The guitarist was so into hit he came up to the drummer with the head stock of his "Custom Gibson Les Paul" (expensive guitar) and was about to hit the cymbal with hit. But realized as he was coming down "what am I doing." It energy was amazing. _________________ Brent |

Park Show
Another show was in this park. In the middle there was this pond, but it was drained. We found out later, that they drained the pond because to many people were killing them selves in the pond by drownding.
Getting Around
How did we get our equipment around? Well we would throw all our gear into a back of a big truck and we would hop in there too. You have to understand the driving down there. The lines on the road mean nothing. The speed limit means nothing. Red means go with caution, not to mention the bumpy roads. It was a wild ride. And it was winter time too. _________________ Brent |

Sheman
So it was about, who knows 12 at night and a bunch of us were on our way back from the internet cafe. This taxi pulls up and knocks on this door in front of use. This tall lady, about 6 foot 3 or something, in a black thong, with black boots and a braw walks out. She looks kid of different, everything is fine with her she has boobs and looks like a girl but actually its a guy that had some major stuff done at the doctors. It was a male prostitute. Wow, wasn't expecting that were you. We so a few more while we were down there. We were in the gay and prosititute part of town. I'm scared for life and so are you.
Radio
One day I got to go on this christian radio station and tell my testimony. Also we had a big add on the band in the biggest christian magazine in Argentina. There was a article on delirious, the newboys and then there was us. Although it was all in spanish and had no idea what it said. O ya I had a translater on the radio, I don't speak like spanish. Only enough to get a date or someone phone number. Just kidding. Hopfully you don't think I'm this huge ball of pride. We had our days of humility. We help clean, paint and give food and clothes to the poor. It wasn't all gigs and fame. There was a lot of late night evangalisam and just chilling with people. It was really great _________________ Brent |

Billy Graham
We were playing this gig at a Billy Graham crousade and it was sounding great. All the sudden our leaders said your done. IT was only our 5th song. I was wondering (do we suck or something, is our music to hard). We just happened to get there late and they had a tight schedule. But what we did rocked and at the end of the show we had a tone of youth wanting our pictures, autographys and emails. It wasn't a totally lose.
Psyhco
We got to play tones of shows while we were down in Argentina. We even got to play at a mental institution for criminals. Now there are crazy people all around and were playing a show, and some pastor is preaching. That wasn't the scary part. The scary part was when we gave them food. We had some cake and some of these guys (there all guys) had never had cake in there life. So were all bring it out to them and they like mob us. We have to like throw the food at them and get out of there. It was crazy. Then we had to keep a close eye on our girls because a bunch of them would come up to the girls and say " we love you and we want to marry you." So the guys on the team would have to pretend that we were dating the girls on the team on many occasions. For protection of course. _________________ Brent |

Girls???
Let finish it off with this. We were staying at this church and getting to know people. This one girl asked from my hat, so I let her wear it for the day. Little did I know that ment we were dating and going to get married really soon. Just kidding. It didn't mean that. But the people on the team sure made me feel that way.
THATS ALL FOR NOW _________________ Brent |

I have decided I do not like Georgia. It is way to hot and muggy. I have been outside weeding for my uncle and the bugs are biting.
Have I mentioned I do not like Georgia?
B, keep the stories coming broheim. Other one people, add your own stories.
I took a little drive down from Michigan to Ohio with Alan. He is a very good traveling partner if anyone is looking for one. As am I, so if anyone is planning any road trips invite us. Okie, I am just being incredibly way to random at the moment making hardly no sense so I think I will continue weeding outside in hot sticky yucky Georgia, did I mention I dont like it here? |
