So it is to my understanding that yesterday was my birthday...
I used to be a little afraid of turning 20, now I am completely fine with it. I thought I had to go to college. Late.
August 31st was an alright day. Worked. They got me a cake, it was delish. Saw Becky. She gave me yet another gift, it was delisher. Played a show. Over 21, undelish. It was my first one, and I doubt that I will play any more. 2 people were there. Thru It All played great. I realized while watching that no matter how much I kinda hate them and don't enjoy how every song goes into a 2 minute breakdown, they are fun to watch. They all love each other and what they are doing. People like them, so hopefully it works out for them.
August 29th ruled. Becky came over and we expressed how much we meant to each other. I got all types of emo jawn.
August 28th was ok. Played a benefit show of sorts. Rick was supposed to set it up. Late. So I booked the club and all the bands. No biggie. Rick doesn't know how to raise money for it. I tell him that you should do a raffle. He says "Ok, I'll get stuff from my work like a lava lamp."........."Ummm...how about we just do a 50/50 Rick." Nobody wants a fucking lava lamp. So we are at the show. Rick sells 6 raffle tickets. And I raise the other $128 dollars that went in there. We played shitty. We raised like $110 for the girl. $40 of it was out of my own pocket. It was a waste of my time and my money for some slut who can't afford condoms or birth control. But hey, I got a fucking sweet cake out of it. Becky baked it and put the bouncing souls logo on it. The girl can work wonders with icing and coloring for cakes haha. Me and my friends had a bbq afterwards which was cool, because I haven't seen Mcilhenny or Camp in a while.
August 26th was almost as good as the pop-techno group AQUA. Becky gave me my birthday gift. It was sooooo fucking awesome. I loved every page of it. It was kinda like a scrap book, but of just me. Since I am so self centered, I loved it. She got all of my friends to write me birthday wishes. The LOVED ONES AND THE BOUNCING SOULS EVEN WROTE ME ONE!!!! FUUUUUUUUCK!!!! The souls also signed a poster for me which was awesome. I'm not one of those teenie bopper kids who see a band and go get their autographs and shit. But when your favorite band writes "Happy Birthday Petric" and mails it to your girlfriend, it can only blow your mind.
August 23rd was nice. I was taken out for fondue dinner. I didn't know what was going on and I felt stupid. The cheese fondue was lack luster. But the dessert tasted nice. We went back to Blair(e)'s and that ruled. Our two new songs are the ish. I can't wait to play them full band style.
Here's one for all you old fogies...
"You let your problems swallow you whole, then try to make me understand. You let your troubles rule your life and I can't comprehend. Your past is gone, your future's shot, your life is totally blown. You make excuses for yourself and that's something I can't condone. We both have the same birthday, but you age so much more. I know that I'll be making noise when I'm age 94. You say that I should grow up, that life is more than fun. But, when ever problems challenge you, it seems they've always won. Your past is gone, your future's shot, your life is totally blown. You condemn the youthfull fun I have -that you also used to own. We both have the same birthday, but you age so much more. You're ready for retirement and you're not even 24. I'm not gonna retire 'caue I'm still young at heart. And time will tell, in the future, who has done their part. And if you don't agree with me, well then you can sit home until your grave. Because, at any age, we'll be on this stage playing fast, smart, strong, and brave."
Oh my God, it's Anarchy.
