(no subject)
i am home again. one day early. katrina sort of just crimped our plans to be in atlanta today. such is life though. no one really wanted to drive 8.5 hours out of the way today just to drive home in torrential rain and try to get home by 9 am so people could go to work. it just wasn't going to work. speaking of work, im off for the next two days and thats great since i dont really feel like going back. especially since i'll be forced to go to cincinnati this weekend for a fedexkinkos meeting on monday. i guess we have to go up on sunday night and i have to ride with someone i probably dont like and when i called to get my schedule, the girl who answered said "sunday is going to be so awesome just because we're going to be so shitfaced and then we're going to go to the meeting hungover". well that fucking sounds like a great time. except for that its really lame.
the tour itself was great. pelican, zombi and red sparowes are all ridiculously amazing bands and equally as awesome people. it was such a laid back time and everyone just sat around and talked and that was nice.
i saw this band made out of babies that is on tribes of neurot and they were fucking awesome as well as awesome people.
ive decided yet again that big cities are somewhat annoying. there is never any parking, too many people, and just overall shitty attitudes by most people. i think thats why i like louisville so much. its not tiny, its not huge and people are still nice. not to mention, being able to see green grass every now and then is pretty great and not walking through a lot of litter is too. i dont know, big cities just dont do it for me.
i went record shopping a bit since i got some money for doing merch for other bands. i didnt get anything too awesome i guess. but at the same time, they are all awesome to me.
im not quite sure why im awake right now. i drove all night and then took a shitty hour or two nap. i look forward to sleeping today. right through the rain.
in some shitty news, my grandmother is sick and won't get out of bed. my mother is staying in pennsylvania indefinitely and that somewhat worries me. im by far closest to this grandmother and she has always been so amazing and healthy and stubborn. im just hoping shes able to either get over what is ailing her. i know if she was to pass, it would devestate my mom as well. this is all stuff im not looking forward to.
but yeah.. its raining a lot.
my birthday is in 29 days. ive noticed lately that a lot of people are getting plans together for the rest of their life. thats great. im proud of all those people. here i am, almost 24 and still no plans. is that bad? sometimes i think so. but at the same time, im doing exactly what i want to do. ive been across the US and back several times, ive seen great bands, met great people, experienced life how i feel in my mind it should be experienced. so here i am still at a standstill. i dont want to give up what im doing and what im having fun doing. do i want to give in now and start doing shit i dont want to do? or do i just hold on to what i have now and keep going with it? thats the one question that bothers me day in and day out. ive seen people that are happy with either way they've chosen. i know people that are quite a bit older than me, still working lame jobs, but touring and having fun and just doing whatever the fuck they want to do. then there are people who have gotten better jobs, graduated college, and have the ability to buy the things they want and to do what they want in a sense. and for me, that choice is so ridiculously hard. for now, i will just have to stick to what ive been doing, which is just play it as it goes. i guess i'll see one day if i made the right decision or not.
the OC season three starts sept. 8th. i cant explain how stoked i am for that and the fact that football starts that day and then the simpsons premiere on the 11th and so does the rest of the football league. goddamn the next week could be awesome yet.
yeah, its time for bed now.
