Hey.. finally getting back to Livejournal.. there has been a lot going on in my life, mainly a giant love-fiasco that has had me: confused, deeply in-love, heartbroken, and over it, all in the short time of about 4 days.. so much for droning on about it, I dont get how people live life that way all the time, maybe thats why so many depressed people kill themselves. It was one of those things that was never meant to be, at least not at this moment. If I felt more comforable writing about it in a public journal, I would, but even then, it would take pages and pages and hours of my time just to scratch the surface, but i'm fine now. Yay.
Lemme think.. my last entry was saying how much Echostar = Office Space, or something like that. I am in Ohio now, because I can't start there until June 25th when the training schedule starts or something like that, so I am up here for the rest of this week and all of next week, I will probably leave on Thursday or maybe Friday if I feel up to it. Hrmm.. when I initially came up, I went to my friend Barrys Band (Davis High Tuesday -- the crazy SOB on the front page is my friend) I really didn't think I was going to like it, due to many annoying experiences at other clubs (ever been there when a mosh pit opened up only to have suddenly see your face getting smashed into a speaker while rocking out.. oooh yea.. been there, done that.. knocked over the speaker too and almost ruined their performance.. so much for good experiences) but enough about that, I really didn't expect to have a good time, as I was already annoyed by a long drive from Virginia coupled by waiting for nearly an HOUR while crews cleaned up the bad accident on the Valley-View Bridge (I swear, it totally wasnt me!) and the fact that Cleveland is confusing. In addition it was like a furnace in there and I mainly hung near the windows with my head halfway out and/or directly positioned under the fan. Gotta love it.
Even with all of that going against me, I still really enjoyed DHT's performance, I really think they have good rhythm, vocals (even if the mic sucked ass), and attitude--I could really picture seeing them late night on Fuse or something like that. There wasn't that many people left in the room at that time, so I felt bad for the band because they work really hard and tried to break free of my fears of being pushed head first into a speaker and ruining the concert and tried to dance to it---not well, I might add. The really crazy thing was that I kept wanting to really rock out to it, like hardcore, it was really good music, but some part of me felt that I would look like a dumbass so I kept it half notch--maybe I should have drank some (but then, I had to drive). The one thing that I like about their band the most is that they can carry the same performance on the CD to on-stage, which is something I really respect in a band. I remember going to a Hoobastank concert, and while they were good, they sounded totally different than their CD, which shows what a difference additional bullshit on the CD makes. I highly recommend anyone who gets into Emo-Rock (Something Corp. style) to check them out.
Then we went home, we brought Barry with us because he wanted to see a whole bunch of people. Let me say one thing about that crazy SOB---we brought him back on Saturday, and today is Wednesday--and in that entire time, hes only had like an hour of sleep. I wish I had that sort of stamina... im envious. Hrm.. Basically I hung out at the house for the while, not doing much, sulking around... until today. I had planned to go to Headlands beach for the longest time, and crazyheart got one of "those calls" from her work--saying in a classic Bill Lumburg tone--"Yeah Hi! We're gonna need you to come in tomorrow, that would be greeatt!" so she wasn't able to come along. So the plan was that I was going to drive up with Barry and meet ffweatherman there. It looked like it was going to rain though, and I needed to get the textbooks for my summer classes from Lakeland Comm College, so I dropped Barry off (totally his idea to sit out in the rain)-- he was to find Erik while I ran and got books. On my way there and back, I went under Morley Road like twice on Route 90 (totally the road my aunt lives on or is near to) and I felt bad, so I called her to see if she wanted a visit---no answer.. not my fault on that one aunt toots). Got back to see him sitting there sopping wet.. Seemed that the lightning started striking the water and everyone apparently booked ass out of there, as he couldnt find Erik. I guess if crazyheart was there I would have stayed.. refusing to let my day go to waste (the T-Storm ended in like 10 minutes anyways!) So we went home, on the way, there was another HUGE traffic jam on I-271 in Bedford where the express lanes end before you get to 480, and ill be DAMNED if there wasnt a collision right in front of one of those giant, bright TV screen billboards littered throughout the Cleveland area. Those things and new-car lights are the bane of all evil on the roadway, im telling ya. You heard it here first.
crazyheart says she has Friday off so maybe I will plan another beach day on Friday, maybe my Aunt will be able to go as well... she is always fun on the beach, she always has to have the perfect time, packing coolers and sandwiches and all... she would be so perfect as a Republican-Soccer mom, but shes a Dem, and that rocks even more. I love my Aunt Toots (dont ask me how she has that name, but I have a few ideas--her real name is Gloria and she was a cheerleader in high school--ah, so its all apparent now) Shes also the only part of my family who had the balls to give me alcohol while under 21, therefore she rocks even more.
I want to head back to Blacksburg, but I fear Foxridge. I really do. Like, its almost that, in the absence of students, the staff has nothing to do (Is that the way it is, cherrychampagne?. They mow the lawn behind my apartment FOUR, yes FOUR times a day. In addition, there is some construction going on to the 3700 building (right outside my window) thats annoying as all hell, and the pollen in the area--or something like that just makes me all allergenic all of a sudden. Now, thats a big thing... as I have NEVER had any problems like that before, but when you go out to your car, and it has a layer of pollen on it, you know its bad. Ah-Choo!! Not really.. mainly just feeling stuffy and tired.. maybe I sleep in too much.. but that can't be all, Josh has the same problem. Oh well.
In other news, I really have a need to make some Moolah. My Credit-cards are all maxed out (even if the limit isnt that high--thank god!!) and I need to pay bills (and rent) for July. Boo!! I need to get some cash from somewhere.. Saint Gobain wont hire me for two weeks (oh yea.. ill totally put my two week notice in on my starting day!), I need like to do some yard work or something for elderly people with a heavy pension. I dont know why I am still typing.. I think its because I need to do some work for my online class that I don't feel like doing.. yay for procrastination, even in the summertime.
