it's my birthday and i'll get drunk if i want to...
Today, I am a man...
that being said, i want toys, lots of toys.
anyway, i am 21, FINALLY. it seemed like it took forever to make it to this day, but now it is here, and i'm so happy. my bestest friends in the world all wished me my happy birthday at 12 last night, and i love each and everyone of them for that. thank you tree, fernando, sammy, and geoff. you guys are fucking awesome.
as fernando already said, alexisonfire cancelled from the slim's show last night. i was pretty disappointed. i really wanted to go nuts during them, and buy a shirt. i guess something happened to the bassist. the girl in tsunami bomb said that something happened to his eyes to the point that he couldn't see, so they all went home so he could get help. i understand, it's just really shitty. it made the show almost pointless for me. the first band, over crime? sucked. i didn't like them at all. no hooks or anything i could get into. tsunami bomb was decent. not all of their songs are good, but some of them really got me going. the whole time i watched their female singer, i couldn't help but think how easily lainey could do that. plus, that chick looked really uncomfortable up there. i hope that lainey can find an outlet or a band to sing for. i would love to see lainey doing that. anyway, rise against was good. politically-charged punk, anthem-style. i love that kind of stuff. they dedicated their second song to the bush administration, cuz it was anti-war, and everyone raised their fists and middle fingers. about halfway through the set, though, i got really bored. fernando was in the pit, i think, and i was all by myself. i just wanted to walk out. it's not his fault. i just wanted to leave and forget the show. we left during their encore.
on the bridge, fernando put on hopes fall's "the bending," our band warm-up song. i blasted it, and we started head-banging and air drumming. we even started to sing and harmonize at the top of our lungs. it was the best part of the nite so far. we decided to go play. we picked up sam, and then i went and bought my first legal booze. i bought sam and 24oz smirnoff ice, and i bought me a small bottle of jagermeister. we went ape-shit at the space, and it made my night.
my grandma just called me and sang me happy birthday. my grandparents would call every birthday and do that, and it means so much that my grandma still does it after my grandpa has gone. i love her so much. sammy is making me a birthday lunch. i love her too. here's to a great day.
