WHAT THE??????????????

anyone in CALIFORNIA

go this
WANT DEISGNER clothes cheap and i mean REAL CHEAP? people campout for this and my friend puts it on
so go tho this

up to speed

ok so i have a few moments.
since if anyone knows me ok, they know i dont talk that much about whats really buried deep in my head and the few that have had the unfortunate pleasure of actually knowing my neurotransmitters, well they are few and far between. Like Ive always said, id rather listen to other people and understand them.
So here we go a second of brining blokes up to speed. Roughly 3-4 weeks ago, the place I have been working since Nov of 2001 kicked me out. Well they didnt fire me, they kciked me out. Yes the unstable boss i had finally said she couldnt work with me and marched me over to the department office and said "you can have him do with him what you want". Now this has been going on Since Nov basically. I have sorta posted aboot it. I was getting yelled at everyday and i do mean yelled at, I was getting yelled at for the same shit i was yelled at the day before and so on. The lady was looking for faults from how i had my desk organized to words in my vocabulary. I was called ignorant, a threat to the lab, etc... whatever
so, for the past few weeks ive been doing odd things for the department here and there while paperwork gets moved around for my new position. I had to agree to a paycut to keep a job. So every morning i hear the daily gossip from the office ladies and the new antics of some guy named "lil chubby" from the custodian. I get high fived in the hall by students and the staff over here rule. The big boss man even commented on how the color was actually coming back to my face. I didnt realize that my life had turned to shit and gotten so bad it was more physically obvious than before. But he said "you are out of hell now" and woohoo.
time to hit up the water cooler.

Nostalgia is for suckers (im a sucker)

So the recent trip to Chicago has brought back nostalgia for years gone of hardcore and when emo was good. So I have been busting out lots of old records and cds and blasting my dinky speakers to the point of ludacris speed. I even hooked my record player back up and sat on the floor like schroeder. I went to play my jazz june lp and it was warped and I wanted to play a converge 7" but i forgot i traded that and a coalesce record grrrr.. BUT ive been playing th hell out of
the promise ring - 108 - get up kids - new day rising- deadguy

yes i am a nerd

Star Wars is cooler than you. Yes star wars. ii rules and im a nerd aboot this shit.
Most of my star wars stuff id boxed up except this coin i have that i kinda hold valued the most. it probably isnt worth anything but it was given to me because they waited in line to see the premier of episode 3. i like that damn coin the most.
i was watching robot chicken star wars and they really shoulda spoofed this.
so anyway, this clip always cracks me up where the stormtrooper hits his head.

Listening to

Current playlist to coincide with my headache:

the replicants

rise against
crushed on you
shook ones
108
Amelie soundtrack
The Shins

birfday

my birthday is in 3 weeks or so. what to do what to do?
skeeball challenge? bowling? mini golf? get a crew to go see UP in 3d?? play scrabble by myself? who knows.

hardcore

I actually just wrote this all in my head while sitting outside on my patio listening to sigur ros and jets to brazil. somehow im gonna try and get it all down from my head.

This past weekend I went to Chicago. The excuse was the Burning Fight book release/music fest. The real reason wasnt just music for me. The music was honestly the catalyst. Dont get me wrong the music was a primary factor but I need to get away. I went to see friends, live up to my traveling every other month idea, attempt to find some sort of inspiration (this failed), see a city i once had a shit time in, and a failed clinging of hope.
Unbroken reunited for the Burning Fight book release. Ill post aboot the book someday. Alongside Unbroken were 108, Trial, Bane, Converge, Guilt, Disembodied, Reach the Sky, and many more. Some of these bands I did see in the 90s or at some point while others like 108 and Unbroken, it was damn good to finally see them. Loved both bands for a long time and to finally see them grace a stage brought back nostalgia of days gone.
Surrounded by 1100 hardcore "kids" was good. I use kids in the most unattached way possibly since most of the people there were over 30 but most were still edge and even vegan (yup im still both and dont give a fuck what others do nor think).
Friends of mine from Seattle, Atlanta, San Fran, Louisville, and many other places flew/drove into this even and damn it was good to see them all. What more than likely brought us to be friends in the first place brought us back together.
Lots of smiles, hugs, laughs, music, food, and remembering times while making new ones. This was I guess the reason I really went.
This sounded better in my head, but i dont speak well nor write welll, so i dont really care.


Unbroken


BANE


some of my friends

"philly cheese steak"

The Chicago Diner rules. pretty much 99% of the place is vegan, and I had to stuff my belly with wings and a philly cheese steak.
The Philly was actually simple with tofurkey slices, veggies, follow your heart cheese, etc...
soooo damn good too!!!



What sucks ass aboot the larger cities tho, they eat ass on refills and they eat even more ass on having damn unsweet tea!!!

Post Chicago

Hopefully Ill make a proper post on the show this weekend and post pics. The show ruled. It would have been cool to see even more people I know from across the world there but damn it was good to see everyone.
I was plagued all weekend with who some people were. After almost the entire weekend of running into this girl and two dudes I finally fucking realized who they were. It was odd too because it was people I didnt actually know but Jenny's best friends from Brooklyn and Arizona. I guess they didnt know who I was but I knew who they were. I did introduce myself to Natalie tho to confirm thats who I thought it was.
My memory worked again. woohoo

ok so take a guess what band these guys came to see????

Interesting

im never a dork... really
