Not much new to report.
Yesterday was a good punk show in Aylmer. Knife Party and Shithawks were playing at some Optimist Club there.
I went to Call the Office with Dave to meet up with Lud. The English Beat were playing that night, so I stood around and watched them do their soundcheck and people-watched them going back and forth from their tour bus to the bar. From what I heard, sounded like it would have been a really fun summery show.
We drove to Aylmer in Lud's pick-up truck, which was awesome because I love pick-up trucks for some reason, ha ha. Turns out we missed Shithawks which sucks because they wanted me to take photos for them, plus I still haven't seem them live yet and they've already had 3 shows. Argh.
Stood around outside a lot, drinking booze in the parking lot and hanging with my dudes. I wasn't really in the mood to watch any of the bands, which made me feel bad because I'm always an advocate of supporting bands and watching their sets, plus I really wouldn't mind checking out Can't Stand and Lash Out at some point, but meh. I hadn't seen most of my friends for a couple of weeks and I really just wanted to hang with them and enjoy their hilarious company. A certain person literally didn't say a word to me the whole night, and I'm sure it's because of the shit Dave and I were going through, but eh, fuck 'im. Like I give a fuck anymore.
Knife Party was meh. I snapped a few photos but my camera cord is already packed up in a box somewhere. They played well but J didn't seem like he had any energy, and because Matty was being his usual crazy self, doing shirtless sweaty extreme hxc dancing in front of the band and throwing popcorn everywhere, the kids seemed too frightened to move for the most part. So that kind of bummed. And there was some mild drama that I won't get into, and it really pissed me off because I'm sick of complete morons trying to pull me into their little insane worlds of self-flattery, but whatever.
Plus I felt mildly sick all night, BUT it still ended up being a really fun night - I promise! Ha ha. Totally reminded me of hardcore shows in Hamilton when I was 17 (because of the fact that it was at an optimist club, and because everyone there was soooo young, except for me and my friends heh. Made us all feel reeeally oldballs).
The rest of the weekend has been pretty boring. I did a bunch of cleaning today. Yippee.
Feeling like Dave has been kind of "meh" with me. Maybe he's just tired. I don't know.
OH! AND I found out last night that some MAJOR MAAAAJOR shit went down at my old work, with one of my former employees, and it is so totally crazy and blew my fucking mindddddd BUT I'm not even going to talk about it because I don't want to be "that guy". But... whoa. Big time deal involving illegal activities and police, etc.
Long story short, now both of the girls who I'm still friends with who still worked there are GONE so I won't be having to deal with any drama from that place EVER AGAIN. Yay!!!!!
6 days until Jamaica. Yeee!
