  • It’s Just Embarrassing

    first off, i’m embarrassed by the current listening that i have, of my own will, informed you of. but here, on xanga, this space, this sacred space, this is where we bare our souls to one another in hopes of unconditional acceptance. we tell each other the truth as opposed to those myspace phonies. and so here i am, telling you that it is in fact michaeal buble that is throbbing through my wife’s sony vaio speakers this second. it is perfectly fitting though as i’m here to inform you of a contest that is circulating amongst the good people on the “wherever you are” tour that’s whole existence rests upon the participant’s willingness to provoke/incite/aggravate embarrassment upon him or her self. here’s how it works. there are a number of phrases that must be exerted into conversation with a brand new acquaintance, a person whom you have just made introduction of yourself. and i must mention that this must transpire in the presence of another person or persons who can and will attest to the execution of the soon to be stated phrases so they can be reckoned while recounted in an equally re-embarrassing retelling. each phrase is worth a specified number of points. and as is the case with most competitively tallied events the person with the most points wins. here are the self-embarrassment inflicting phrases and their relative points.


    are you bobby? – 1 pt (to a complete stranger)


    can’t wait to see these guys, right? – 1 pt (must be hyped)


    i like cute little names like that. – 1 pt


    you are in the right place. – 1 pt


    i totally object to that. – 1 pt


     


    and that’s why i enjoy being a metro sexual. – 2 pts


    jimmy carter says yes. – 2 pts


    i totally object to that. – 2 pts (subject to context with regard to risk in execution)


    a hero kills people. – 2 pts


     


    annie oakley is my historical honey. – 3 pts


    the stanley maneuver. – 3 pts


    who? the mortician or the vice president? – 3 pts


    do you think plants can talk to you? – 3 pts


     


    right now michael buble is climatically ending one of his numbers. perfect timing michael. perfect.


    and then there’s this. it was earlier pointed out to me that our new tour manager matt (who is a really large man apparently [see pic below] that or bwack is tiny.  **hmm. bwack is not tiny. therefore matt must be large.**) and our very own drummer bwack have new matching suitcases. embarrassing. simply embarrassing.



    and that, ladies and gentlemen, brings a certain 2 pt, nine word phrase to mind.

  • lots of luck on the tour!

  • myspace phonies. hahhaa.

  • i love random quotes and bands that i listen to yet am ashamed to say i do.

    third comment isn’t bad

  • haha! sounds like a fun game.

  • Well, while we’re on the subject… do you think plants can talk to you?  Rock on, DC Band.  Rock on.

  • That flowered love seat is awesome!!! – Add that to the list of phrases…..plus that’s just one kickin love seat.  Much love from Russellville Ar.

  • so umm…how many points does it take to win? and what’s the time frame? these questions could be crucial to winning if we are all to try it out! :)

  • i like that phrase… “Jimmy Carter says yes”… i don’t know why either.

    i like the suitcases in the picture?

  • hopefully Ill see u guys in DC… haha gonna be awesome

  • that was… entertaining.   I heard the concert last night was great, wish I coulda been there!  From what I hear, the general consensus is that David Crowder should’ve played much longer…

  • this made me laugh :)

  • Good call on the michael buble… and that is why I enjoy being a metro sexual! lol

  • the mortician or vice president… quite funny. i appreciate your sense of humor. i believe that not very many people completely understand it… however i do.

  • the mortician or vice president… quite funny. i appreciate your sense of humor. i believe that not very many people completely understand it… however i do.

  • jimmy carter says yes.

  • don’t be embarassed, david. it’s alright, i accept you.

  • there is nothing wrong with being metrosexual!

  • Jeremiah 17:14-16….. good stuff — check that stuff out!!

    Thanks for what you do! You are appreciated. :) Grace and peace~

  • Games like that can end up becoming violent.  Once, at Sunshine, the person I was hanging with and I went all over the grounds with water guns and had a contest to see who could squirt more hot guys.  Towards the end, we would almost take out the guys we were planning on squirting.  But it was fun.  Because a hero kills people.

  • you’re metro? haha, i shouldve known…

    I’M COMING TO SEE YOU GUYS ON THE 16th OF MARCH!!! THIRD ROW!!!

  • NOT THAT YOURE GOING TO READ THIS COMMENT, or that me typing in all caps might provoke you to read this comment, but if one not on the tour chose to partake in such a contest, would they qualify?

  • you + michael buble = random…

    random = you, so i guess it works ;)

  • 25 comments in 50 minutes. I will forgive you for the Michael Buble.

  • I remember this one time, my roommate had listened (and still was listening) to Home by Michael Buble on repeat about 250 times in a row, so I put The Safety Dance by Men Without Hats on repeat and played that about 50 times in a row, just to spite him.

  • You all were amazing in concert at Liberty University on Friday night!  I love you all! 

    You know what would be amazing?  If at the end of the concert, you came out and performed a duet with third day  

  • i’m confused. bwack looks tiny compared to y’alls tour manager. craziness. God Bless!

  • wow … i’m so glad you can find such fun and creative ways to entertain yourself. and i’m not saying that sarcasticly. it’s like something me and my friends would do.

    *goes to see if her glow in the dark play-doh works*

  • You are so awesome. I really hope that your going to be at Nazarene Youth Conference 2007…I would absolutely LOVE to see you live.

  • How did the Liberty U. show go?

    ps.. why the hate for myspace? you should love your space.

  • As I pick myself up off the floor from laughing so hard……..I realize I’m at a loss for words and decide to just stop there…..or maybe….no, I will just stop….no, I will say thanks for bringing back the memories of my own experience with games……Ahhh, good times!

  • The show was great last night in Cedarville aka Artic Ocean! Jason was telling us of how it’s been since we saw you in Lexington a few months back.
    Glad to hear you guys and the church is going on and God’s working marvelously in your lives.

    He also showed us his new cell phone and not only that, he told us that he finally cemented his trip to Augusta on Tuesday.

    In Lexington, that was just a glimmer in his mind.

    Now he’s a pro golfer. Who’d have guessed?

    -PW

  • david why are you so hottt????

  • sweet

  • haha nice quotes.. i hope you’re having a blessing time on your tour!

  • I believe Dwight Schrute said “A hero kills people.” He said this when asked what a hero is/does. Just mentioning this should help anyone infiltrate any group worth infiltrating.

  • Totally love the metrosexual comment.

  • haha.. you rock mr. crowder

  • that buble guy is not bad…not great…however not bad

  • One prop, if only because I couldn’t bring myself to give you none, yet still wanted to see my name by itself on the “Props given” list…
    Other than that, great post. Michael Buble’ is a favorite of some friends of mine, myspace is indeed “phony”, and you are (as always) wonderful.
    -Kyle

  • Hehe, Michael Buble is not nearly as embarressing as owning the soundtrack to, “A walk to remember”. Like you said, Xanga is a place to bare your soul…

    Ah, the random phrase game… Brings back memories.

  • DAVID CROWDER BAND!

  • BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! I love you man…haha…

  • Were you listening to Buble in the middle of Third Day’s set, or is this blog on Texas time and not Michigan time?  ‘Cause at the time this blog was posted, -I- was listening to Mac and the guys.  That would be nothing to be embarrassed by.  Michael Buble, on the other hand…  Hmmmm…

  • oh wow, is it okay if i post the rules on my site. like you would read this or comment back.

  • Hello,

    My name is Corey Camp and I am representing Newfound Ministries’ Save the Children: A Benefit for the “Invisible Children” of Uganda music festival, in conjunction with First Baptist Church, Lewisville, TX. We would greatly appreciate it if you could join us as the headlining act for the benefit at Lewisville’s Lake Park on April 29, 2006. While no money can be provided, we will gladly provide home-cooked meals, lodging, and if needed, we’ll provide transportation from Waco to Lewisville. If you have not become aware of the story of the Ugandan children abducted and conscripted by the Lord’s Resistance Army, I would like to provide you with a complimentary copy of “The Invisible Children” on DVD. This is not a cause to simply be ignored and removed from the public eye by a distracted media. Lives are hanging in the balance. Maybe I’m foolish for even attempting to try to get y’all, the group that singlehandedly redefined what worship music is today, to come out to some random suburb north of Dallas and play a benefit concert for free, but these children cannot be ignored any longer. We have a duty to help our brethren in Christ and humanity in Uganda. Are you willing to accept the challenge?

    Corey Camp, Newfound Ministries, 2116 Beechwood Lane, Flower Mound,TX 75028, (817)690-2170,coreyn.camp@verizon.net

  • I totally object to that picture.

  • David I lve ur music man your the coolest!!!

  • ya know corey camp, while, yes your posting the same comment over and over and over made me read it, some people may find that annoying and choose to ignore you all together… good luck

  • Wow…you are funny…I have yet to hear of this game.  Hmmm

  • lovely.

  • wow two posts in two days, so proud of ya.

  • have you read Blue Lik Jazz? i think you would find comfort and solice in his forward and upfront way of presneting his life in a sarcastic yet wildly humorous manner.

  • How fun.  And I must say that Xanga is much more enjoyable than Myspace.

  • that big man reminds me much of myself lol gl on the tour

  • Hahaha this post made me giggle.. You should give bonus points for random twitching and scratching. And you should say something about one of the greatest men to walk the earth… Chuck Norris.

  • haha u’re funny. and i was listening to the collision cd and it entertained me while i was in the process of a long car ride :O) was that conversation about the lark real?

  • whoooose that guy!

  • hey you’re my friend on myspace too… lol i love you guys. and umm… yeah, the tour manager is pretty huge.

  • nothing to be embarrased about — michael buble is amazing! i think yall should come back to shreveport la soon because im in need of some of your music live!

    have a great day!

  • myspace <(less than) xanga

  • i am a fan of buble, but i would choose your concert over his any day.
    the game is sweet, keep us faithful xangans updated on your points.

  • I extend congratulations upon making it to the international event of the Olympics.  I also have to give Kelly congratulations for making that glorious stand.  Thanks for inspiring.

  • hahaha this is great

  • i like michael buble…does that make me a bigger sinner? haha! :)

  • is bwack’s suitcase pink?

    not everyone can pull that off without dreadlocks.

  • i cannot tell you how long i’ve been waiting for you guys to come to cedarville. of course then again, we have to wait a long time for alot of things being that this place is in the middle of nowhere. great show though, and thanks for coming!

  • that picture looks like one of those optical illusion things where there’s 2 dots inside 2 circles but they’re different sizes so you’re sposed to choose which dot is bigger even though really they’re both the same size. funny.

  • This is so awesome! 2 updates in 2 days!! I will look forward to reading your updates everyday. They will be the highlight of my day!

  • if  jimmy carter says yes, we’re in trouble..

    `L`

  • 1.  I do enjoy being a metro sexual

    2.  I would love to play in this game, but unfortunately I won’t be able to.  This is because you aren’t appearing in St. Louis anymore.

    3.  But this won’t stop me from being your biggest fan.  Or bringing socks for Hogan to Waco.

  • As a worker in a semi-large Christian ministry, I’m going to institute a similar game over all-building emails. Thanks Boris!

  • but matching suitcases are a must for this year’s fashions!

  • get an ayanna banner!!!!!!!!!

  • lol @ that picture.  and michael buble’s voice is like butter.

  • huh? interesting contest?

  • I totally object to that.

  • LOL…you crack me up man :)

  • i didnt give any e-props b/c i wanted to be different …but dont get all discouraged b/c i didnt….well you’ll probably never read this but if you do thank you!

  • that was quite a funny entry, david

  • dave, do you want to sign up under my name for a free xbox360? i did this and got an ipod. i jamm to your tunes all the time on my ipod now.

    http://xbox360s.freepay.com/?r=27833198

    it’s a wonderful thing, kind of like the dcb.

  • i’m wondering why none of that made sense to me, lol…randomness is good for the soul

  • I’ve noticed you give greater point-weight to phrases that could not conceivably be uttered by a heterosexual woman — unless they had my wit and wisdom — (metrosexual, annie oakley). You’ve rigged this game in a man’s favor, David. I totally object to that.

  • currently listening to:  David Crowder Band
                                     Here is Our King

    Wish you guys the best of luck from back home in Texas, and I can’t wait to have worship with you guys at DCLA this summer!

  • Crowder!! I was at your concert on the 17th in Lynchburg Virginia…you’re awesome!! i loved the little toys ‘r us piano thing, that was awesome,only you could pull that off! you’re amamzing!! good job!
    ~Kaitlyn

  • wherever you are  … we’ll be there. well, in ATL anyway!

  • David,

    I am so disapointed!  I have 2nd row tickets for St. Louis (March 29) and then you guys backed out of that show – I am so devastated, I am unable to eat, sleep and cannot seem to get my life back together since I have heard.  (well, might be an over statement on my part – but I am kinda depressed) – So, any advice on how I might get over this and move on with my life.  I am coming to Waco this summer, any chance for a private concert?  You guys are the best – our whole church is falling in love with your music – keep it real!  Livestrong!

  • thank u for the laugh…and, I don’t care what anybody says, its not embarrassing to listen to michael buble!!!

  • The concert was great!  thank you for blessing me with your music!  I’ll be sending you the pictures that I took!  God Bless!

  • How about:

    “Third Day should be opening for David Crowder instead of the other way around.” -9 points.

    It’s true. But it will likely anger a lot of Third Day fans and, therefore, emabrass the person who said it.

  • hello.

  • Are you really David Crowder?

  • that is most excellent i must say.

  • are you bobby? because if you are, i totaly object to that. yet i like cute little names like that. you are in the right place bobby. can’t wait to see these guys, right? …5pts right then and there

  • Here to prop you! Have a nice day and God bless you! Hope you visit my xanga too :) !

  • this blog is hilarious,love the dr.pepper pop rocks. is your name bobby by any chance.

  • what phrase was brought to your mind at the end there?

  • i read this entry yesterday, and the PERFECT opportunity knocked at my door this morning…i was sitting in Algebra and we were discussing a project we’re working on and my friend said “but Mrs. Pickering, it’s not fair! …girls can think of all that….cute stuff”…so, naturally, I promptly replied “And that’s why I enjoy being a metro sexual.” it was great

  • I have played games of the like and I must say I have found one that is more fun…
    Get all your friends in a circle. The first person (you) look to one and say “zip.” They have two options: 1)Look back at you and say “Bong” or 2)Look to the person on their other side and say “zip”. The person who has just been zipped or bonged now has the same options. The trick to the game is that you can’t show your teeth. The object is to make other people smile and/or laugh thus, showing their teeth. Try it.

  • that’s hilarious.  I am glad you are all making life interesting.  Our friends also play games like this.  Infact, one of my friends has a whole site devoted to games that they made up. http://bestofgmgames.blogspot.com/

    Side note, I saw you at Liberty and I was sad how short you were on for.  Can you ask Third Day for another hour without them shortening their set too??

  • that’s hilarious.  I am glad you are all making life interesting.  Our friends also play games like this.  Infact, one of my friends has a whole site devoted to games that they made up. http://bestofgmgames.blogspot.com/

  • The VP shoots, and the mortician scores!!!

  • Yes, yes I will be seeing you soon in concert with about 10 friends. Its gonna be the bomb. I’m not sure if I understand this game. So what, you just say these things to strangers and you get more points the more embarrasing it is? Your writing takes a lot of concentration to understand, kind of like Dallas Williard. But hey, thanks for contributing to my vocabulary development. One day when it comes in handy, I will think of you. Listen, you may be too busy or whatever to do this but do you think you can go and read my latest entry and tell me what you think, because I like to write and I would like some feedback. Cya later!

  • hey i like Michael Buble haha.  do you think plants can talk to you?  ha!  3 pts for me!!  SCOREEEE!!!!

  • The most spectacular thoughts, that a normal human being could come up with, come from yor mind. I enjoy reading.

    -James

  • eh hem. It seems as if I have manufactured, what one would normally call a “type-o”. Here I stand to correct it.

    your*

    -James

  • Crowder…amazing show at LU!  didn’t get to meet you :( but did get to talk to Sulley…keep up the good work, I’m praying for you guys!

  • and so since I’ve never met you yet… are you a bobby?  I’m in the presence of my cat who will attest that i’ve typed this question since he sits on my lap and moniters all the internet sites i visit. and when i meet you face to face, i’m going to ask you if i can pet the goat.  would that at least get me a brownie point?  or of which you’ll reply, “I object to that”.  I hope not though.  I may just have to do it anyway.  But then you could say it again & get double points.

  • thanks for the smiles.

  • Hey, Thanks for you and your bands music. It has really given me great times of worship and praise to God. So Thanks for that. Also thanks for you continued ministry with your music, it has touched me and many peoples lives and it will continue to do that.

  • i check your xanga every time i get on the internet thinking “i could be one of the first to post on David Crowders xanga”, and you havn’t had a new post in two months.  then, the one day that i check it again, you post, and there are over 100 people that have already posted.  THANKS A LOT DAVID.  no really thanks that post was funny.  and your tour manager is A BIG BOY.

  • Not to post twice for one entry, but you have made it onto the featured content section.

  • Want to see something funny? Please visit my xanga.

    -G

  • Yes, but can you incorporate any of those lines onstage?

  • what’s wrong with michael buble?

  • i like your contest…but i’m also saddened by it….because i don’t believe you had this goin when you started the tour…or if you did you i didn’t hear you say any of those phrases! (and we did meet!) anyway, have fun with the tour!

  • If you are in Cordele Ga look me up…I am the Youth Pastor for a Small Church called Penia Baptist…I am the Only one who has a clue to the likes of David Crowder…and any help would be awesome…..Plus I will cook, Ribs…Pork Shoulder(AKA Boston Butt)…the Good Stuff..GOD Bless and GOD Speed……Salvation is the Word… And I shall pray for ALL the Saints!  We Love You…Maranatha

    Semper Fidelis 

  • 2 things…

    Drew

  • that was such an awesome show on Saturday. it was amazing

  • You are a stud Crowder

  • hey you know what? michael buble isnt THAT bad…

  • it seems we would have to have a lengthy conversation to make use of all the aforementioned phrases, but what if they turn around and walk away b/c they think we’re crazy when we’ve only got down to phrase #3?

    please come to the northern regions of NY soon (besides NYC!!) perhaps rochester, NY or even geneseo! (it’s near darien lake where you came for kingdom bound last year!) it is mighty cold in this area but if you come we will come bearing gifts of extremely hot chocolate!! so hot it will burn and you will happily embrace the cold! :)

  • ok, for some reason that sounded mean after i wrote it. i’m sorry. i didn’t mean we would hurt you with hot chocolate. just that it would be freely provided for the gift of your presence. don’t be scared!!!

  • michael buble… hehe thats pretty shway!… but yeah i hope you guys have fun with the contest… i know i would if i were you! and you will be in my prays while your on the tour!!! and when your not on tour… heh you get what i’m sayin!!! i hope!

    I’m giong to keep posting this until i get a response from mister crowder.

    My beard is more big and full, than anyone’s ever
    Everyday, its the same, I never shave, no never
    How coud I, ever go buy
    Shaving cream or a razor?
    To me that’d be, more obscence, than anything, ever

    Hey would you pass that comb?
    There is no hair like mine, there has never ever been any hair like mine

    Everywhere, there is hair
    head and chin, surrounding
    There’s nothing wrong, with my beard being long
    With follicles, abounding
    And inch or three, additionally, would look good on me
    I could see that

    chorus,

    hey would you pass that comb to me?
    my beard is long, so freaking long, freaking loooong
    (watch it grow)

  • you should rewrite this post….as an oceanic re-mix

  • funniest thing I read all day and that’s why i enjoy being a metro sexual.

    you are in the right place.

    Myspace phonies? jimmy carter says yes.

    you guys make me realize that annie oakley is my historical honey.

    Oh queer eye can’t wait to see these guys, right?

    10 points boo ya

  • Hey man. Stoked to see you have a xanga. We met back in 2004. I emceed and produced the content for those Elevate events that nobody attended at Prestonwood in Dallas and in Charlotte. Extremely impressed with your servant heart and artistry. Haven’t read Praise Habit, but thought A Collision was the Best disc of 2005. God bless your career and ministry, but especially your family. Rock on.

  • okay that was incredibly random

  • i will SO be at tonights show.. cannot wait to praise the Lord with you guys!

  • I found your blog from TD website. Praise God for the work you are doing to bring worship to His name! Tried the game with my husband. He didn’t get it! :) )

  • I haven’t gotten a chance to comment before now, but I would just like to say thank you for the tour…I was at Liberty University when you were there playing, and several of those in my group ended up in tears…Thank you for your music, your thoughts, and I have to say, we all absolutely adored the keytar…lol…Looking forward to seeing you in concert again at some point…Thanks again!…God bless.

    Melinda Dague

  • Hey Crowder,

    Its the air horn guy. I’ve got a few friends that would like to meet you and your band. I was really hoping if you guys would be willing to sign somthing for each of them after the concert tonight here at ball state. We’ll be waiting rithg outside the barracades by the buses after the show tonight.

    Hope to see you then,

    Nick Hutchison!@#$%, a.k.a., Airhorn Boy

  • hey i’ll see you at grandprarie…so looking forward to it…hopefully i can get into contact with you and be able to bring you a copy of my bands performance the other night….im from ardmore oklahoma….peace

  • oh man when are you coming back to TULSA, OK we miss you!!

    i cant wait for collision B is it a remix or a new cd in its self?

  • hmmmmm…

  • I love the new collision cd..I can’t stop listening to it lol one thing I don’t understand about is the “conversation” lol it doesnt make sence to me though its rather funny…anyway keep up the good work..ur so awesome

  • The show lastnight at BSU rocked my socks off!!!……Wait I wasn’t wearing any socks……..I wonder whose socks those were then???? Oh well I loved the show!!!

  • David Crowder. So, perhaps it’s just that I’m slow, but I just bought Greetings from Michigan: The Great Lakes State and realized that your song on Collision is a cover of Sufjan. Which made my day, I can tell you that. Thank you for being amazing.

  • Can’t wait to see these guys, right? Jimmy Carter says yes. <— Clearly I am pretending I am at the tour.

  • haha ya i think that i have already used all of those need some more!!!

    #00 FILLipi???

    p.s. good luck!!

  • Wow.  Out of 159 comments, I’m not sure you guys will get/read this one, but I have a matter of dire importance that should be addressed.  The issue is who should get the title “Freakin’ Coolest Jedi to Ever Not Walk the Face of the Earth.”  I would love to hear your collective expert thoughts.

    John

  • Loved you last night in Muncie, IN.  I really wish you had played longer.  I especially like the lyrics flashed behind you.  You have a great sense of humor and purpose.  But I have to ask;  what’s with the dead squirrle (sp?)?

  • I just have to say that I love listening to Michael Buble.

  • Good show….you guys rocked!!! God was glorified! What else can you ask for in Ypsilanti?????

  • wow talk about a guilt trip…

  • the wyomingdoesn’texist thing that is

  • what happens when Jimmy Carter says no? Four points?
