I decided to have someone change my password for my Tumblr and Facebook in order for me to focus on school, so if you want to contact me, email and phone is the best way to go.
Email: raisedfistrevolution@gmail.com OR ramosj145@student.mi.edu Phone: Message me for it. Hahaha.
See you in two months!

To Love Oneself
One of the sayings that gets thrown around in our generation is, “You can’t love someone else if you can’t love yourself.” Before any person, before your significant other, even before your family, people tell you that one of the trademarks of confidence and a fulfilled life is loving oneself. Well, I apologize for sounding borderline ignorant and stupid, but what does it...

I know that someday you’ll be sleeping, darling, likely dreaming off the pain. I hope you’ll hear me in the streetlight’s humming, softly breathing out your name. I know that even with the seams stitched tightly, darling, scars will remain. I say we scrape them from each other, darling, and let them wash off in the rain. And when they run into the river, oh no, let the water not...

To every musician out there...
To every one of you making beats on their samplers and MIDI keyboards, to all you band members strumming guitars and beating drums, to all you singers belting out your heart, mind, and soul into your lyrics, love your music. To all my friends that are aspiring rappers, coming out with punchlines for days or heartfelt rhymes, love your music. To all my homies in the hardcore punk scene, making the...

Merry Christmas Eve...
There’s two things I really want for Christmas tomorrow
The ability to give something to someone for Christmas. It sucks not having a job, and not having the money to buy my sister clothes, or movies for my dad. Next year, I’ll get my family everything they deserve.
The second thing…is for her to talk to me again. It’s been two months, and she hasn’t said a damn...

If you had the power to raise dead musicians...
So I just came back from the Madball show, and to mellow things out on the way home, I just decided to play some R&B. At first, I was just playing The Weeknd’s first mix tape, but then I decided to take it back, and started playing Marvin Gaye. As I started belting out the words to “Let’s Get It On” to a girl in my head I will never get it on with, I thought, “I...
Day 3 - When was your first conference?
2006. Houston Conference. It was hot, the food was good, and I made friends that i don’t remember. Fortunately, I met them all again the next Conference. I remember that as the Conference where I got close to my homie Andrew. I wish that kid was still active. :(
Day 2 - Do you remember your first CC?
I don’t remember my first CC’s name. All I remember is that she was gorgeous, a lot older than me, and some old guy’s girlfriend.
My second CC, however, was this girl named Kim from Temecula. She was mad cute. Too bad she was this guy’s girlfriend. And we had the same birthday, too! Yo, Kim, if you ever read this, lemme know what’s up! Hahaha!

Day 1 - Tell us about your first camp.
Ahh, my first camp. It was right after the first week of my freshman year in high school, August 2005. I was an awkward kid who just came from a horrible 8th grade year. I was confused and lost, when it came to my religious views. I didn’t know what to believe, but I wanted to know that there was a God who actually loved me, contrary to my previous experiences.
Before the camp, I got...

“The difficulty of explaining ‘why I am a Catholic’ is that there are ten...”
– G.K. Chesterton (via josephmaniaci)
Great thing about being Catholic:
The concept of “church shopping” doesn’t exist, and shouldn’t. Why? Because every Catholic parish is theoretically united in teaching - they can only teach what the Catholic Church asks them to teach. So there’s no fear of some pastor teaching his personal skewed interpretation of Scripture and theology, and instead, I can rest assured and know that in some way,...
One of the most attractive things in a girl.
Intelligence.
When a girl is knowledgable about certain subjects, like music, art, philosophy, politics, religion, current events, or anything of the like, it makes them that much more attractive to me. Why? Because when you engage in deep conversation with someone who’s intellectually on your level, who is capable of, as well as, genuinely interested in the subject matter you’re...
You know you need to go to Confession when that’s the one thing you look forward to on a Saturday.

If you were my girl, I would hold your hand in mine like I’d hold a child: I’d treasure it, ‘cause measuring the worth of this moment of perfection would be like counting the swirls in each finger and the grooves in each palm: much more than I can ever fathom. Staring at them, I remember these hands, and the first time I held them: the day we made acquaintance, as we said our...
I gave a band a chance today.
Not too shabby. They have an interesting goth and doom metal approach to hardcore, with some blues in there too. Different, but a breath of fresh air.
Check out Twitching Tongues, everyone. Worth the listen.

As Catholics, we keep getting asked questions. Many times, we don’t have the answers to these questions. Why do we pray to the saints or the Virgin Mary? Is Jesus God? Is the Holy Spirit God? What do we believe in? Well, when Catholics go to church, we all profess our faith in a statement called the Nicene Creed. This creed has been in existence since the early years of the...

Give Me A Chance
A song I wrote a few weeks ago. I’m gonna start recording the songs I’ve written when I can get a decent mic.
Ever since I could remember, From January till December, I would play scenarios in my head The moment I’d get out of bed Where I would meet the girl of my forever.
I would live my days just wishing. I would spend my nights just missing All those fleeting feelings, more...
Who needs girls, family, or food? I have hardcore.

Set In Ink, Set In Stone
For those of you who don’t know, I claim to take part in a subculture and a philosophy known as straightedge. That means that I’ve made a promise to myself to abstain from drinking alcohol, having promiscuous sex, smoking, and taking drugs for the rest of my life. The culture comes directly from a music culture I’ve fallen in love with since sophomore year - the hardcore punk...
