concerts, rides, arguments, video games and more training
This week involved alot of training and wasting time. The praqctices were alot tougher this week but I think I handled them jsut fine. We also added weight lifting back into the equation which made things hard.
My roommates have a Wii, Ive been playing mario galaxy and its a fun way to waste time…..kinda easy but still alot of fun
On wedesday I went with ian crocker to see blonde redhead play at the 930 club. The opneing band called the school of 7 bells was really good and had a interesting sound with two latin singers, hard band to described. Blonde Redhead was great and they played alot from the misery, 23 and melody albums. We got to the front row cuz drunk ian started yelling “Hot Pies” and the crowd moved out of the way like moses parting the tides. It sounds stupid but poeple moved out of our way andit was fucking hilarious. I felt liek I should act drunk so the crowd would let us get away with our worming up to the front. BRH did 2 encores which I found annoying as hell but alll there songs were great. I find encores are pointless, jsut say this is the last song. I find it stupid and very arena/cock rock to do it. I think they jsut liek to hear people chant there name and clap for them….lame
After the show, I argued with ian. He was short 10 bucks to get a shirt of BRH and I spotted him the money cuz thats what friends do and he bought dinner before the show. The gift certificate he had for dinner before the show was suppose to cover dinner. Unfortunately the GC didnt work and he had to pay out of his pocket, making him short 10 bucks. After spotting the money and were driving home, he asks me to stop by 7-11 to get him a 40. He tells me he has 4 bucks and asked me to buy it. I then argue with him that it fucked up I spotted him 10 bucks but he pocketed 4 bucks for himself. After argueing, he didnt understand it and we left it as it was. I told him to explain this scenario to anyone and they will tell him that hes int he wronge and I got taken advantage of……jsut fucke dup in my mind and feel taken advantage of my generocity and friendship. I dont matter if its a dollar or 30 dollars, you dont pocket money when someoen is helping you out.
Anyway, this week beings my new odd job driving one of my coaches club swimmers home from practice everyday. He and his sister are quiet but really nice and I dont mind helpin someone out who wants to swim but in a bind for a ride. All through high school I had to bum and ride and I understand his situation. Im also goign to coach out in ashburn once a week, I have to fill out an aplication this week but some steady money will be sweet.
Last night the mars volta played in baltimore and at the same time dillinger escape plan were playing in harrisonburg. I kinda wish I went to both or any but I was fucking tired yesterday. Lifting and two practices made me lazy and wanting to turn in early. I had no one to go with and being tired on the road aint a good idea. Although if I was dillinger, the venue set up would ahve allowed for me to meet the band, get a vinyl signed and seen a killer show without barriers or bouncers. Seeing mars volta might have been a cool show or a boring show since they improve there songs and I dont know any of their material fromt eh newst albumt hat came aout 2 weeks ago or the Ampertecture album. REgardless I didnt see two of my favorite abnds but I was tired and didnt want to be a wreck in practice this morning. After going to bed at 11, I still felt like crap but I cant even imagine if I didnt go tot he show how it would feel.
Today I played wii, found out the singer who did alot of the Juno soundtrack plays free at crooked beat records and I wanna go, had food with mother and jsut talked alot, I had not sen her much this week so it was good to jsut catch up.
Tonight is elko-palooza and were celebrating elko heading back to jersey, which is sad cuz I love the boy to death and hate to not see him ona regular basis.
