Your world is an ashtray.
I put my weekend in a cut, okay?
Enter if you dare. haha
It's too long to put it all here.
That's what cuts are for, right? Right.
Okay, enough outta me.
Saturday - I took a shower and packed up all my shit and Dad and I headed off to Kansas a little bit before noon. I think I'm beginning to handle those three-or-so hour drives, 'cause when I was a kid they seemed like 12 hours, lol. I figured I should bring stuff to do or listen to the radio, so I brought the May issue of Revolver with me and my CD's, so I listened to Atreyu and AFI along the way until 94.7 (OKC) and 92.7 (Wichita) came through on the radio. I really like them...better than 104.5 (Tulsa), heh. Anyhow...we got to Aunt Gloria's house and bummed around for a little while then went to grandma's and unpacked all our shit. A little bit later we went back to Matt's so we could caravan to downtown Wichita to meet everyone at the Doobie Brothers concert (which was actually way fucking better than I thought it would be). Dixie, her friend, and I rocked the front row like whoa. Dixie got a guitar pick and a shitload of pictures on her phone of those old men, lol. They could still rock it, I gotta admit. Then went back to grandma's and watched Hostage then I went to sleep while Dad watched Hitch.
Sunday - Woke up around 10am or so 'cause the phone rang. It was Uncle Jan telling us we could come over if we wanted so I was gonna get Dad up so we could get ready to go when Dixie called back and said she was gonna pick me up to take me to the radio station where she works (92.7, Sundays from noon-6) and we had a real blast there, recording vocal tracks and listening to lots of music, lookin through Rolling Stone, and answering calls from some dipshit Garrett who called about 6 or 7 times and he was really stoned, and actually asked my cuz if she was a boy or a girl. She has a lower voice, but damn! Not that low! Then again, he was stoned. So after a couple of hours of finished vocals, we headed off to Jan & Kay's (her parents) and on the way out I picked up a CD with a bunch of pics from some AAR show (I dunno why, 'cause I don't really like them anymore but I like pictures) and a Senses Fail sticker (again, I don't like them but I think someone from school likes them so maybe I was feeling generous. I'm willing to give it up to anyone who asks for it, lol). Then we headed to her parents' house and we swam in their pool for a few hours and cooked out (I had to bring my veggie burgers, hahaha) and played with the dogs. Then a humungous, hairy, gray-green-turquoise-colored storm started to come in and we were all pretty scared even though we're pretty much used to it. It was a huge storm cell (we were watching it on tv) and there was a lot of hail and tornadoes hopping around in it so we headed to their basement with the dogs and watched from the mini-windows. No tornadoes hit by us, but damn it rained and rained and hailed and rained. Then Dad and I went to grandma's and I took a shower and went to bed.
Monday - Dad and I cleaned up the house a little so everyone could come over and while I was waiting I broke open some old fireworks from last year's 4th of July celebration and used up all the little ones since those don't really appeal to us Perez's even though they come in the big packs, haha. Matt and his parents came over and we set up a couple of tents for peope to louge outside in and cook out in and people started showing up so that was awesome. Matt, his friend Jacob, and I went to Ace Hardware to get some 3" PVC pipe for the big fireworks they had gotten, and that was cool. (If you see this, Jacob you look fantastic, I totally didn't recognize you and I'm glad you're still you, too.) When we got back, a shitload more people had shown up and lots of kids were running in and out of the house and outside so we knew this would be a busy day, lol. Some people decided to go to the pool so I went with Ashlee and her boyfriend and that was really awesome, then at about 6pm we got out and headed to Gloria's so I could take a shower ('cause grandma's shower sucks to say the least) and so she could do her makeup and so I could get on the computer but I didn't figure out how to work Matt's Windows XP so...yeah, I didn't get on. lol Then we walked back to grandma's and a lot of people had headed off to the old high school football field thing for the July 4th concert Matt and Uncle Jan were performing at (in Jan's classic rock cover band Crazy Heart - check 'em out!) and it was so awesome. Dixie got up on the stage and sang a little too and my favorite cover of theirs is "Rhiannon" by Fleetwood Mac. <3 I got to meet and hang with one of Dixie's friends Chad and he was sooo awesome I can't explain it...too bad he's 30, married, and has 2 kids. (I didn't say that, haha.) Then at about 9pm or so we all headed back to grandma's to have our own fireworks show which kicked so much ass. I had a few beers and some wine (shh!) and had so much fun shooting off all the fireworks, I can't explain it. And hanging out some more with Dixie and Chad listening to a lot of good hardcore and metal (I discovered my love for Soilwork this weekend, lol.), and my cuz Niki burned me some movies (House Of 1000 Corpses, Donnie Darko, Dawn Of The Dead, and Resident Evil) and I can't wait to watch them! After almost everyone left, Dad and I and Matt and his gf Sarah (who is so sweet) scavenged the front and back yards for fireworks that hadn't been lit so we had a little fireworks party of our own, lol. Then they left and I was so worn out I couldn't take a shower and just passed out on the couch, lol. Good times.
Tuesday - Dad and I got up at about 7am (ugh!) and packed all our shit up again and got it loaded into the van, only I couldn't find my brown belt and he couldn't find his blue Talons hat so we went to Matt's and talked for a bit and looked for them but they weren't there, then went to Jan & Kaye's and talked for a little there too and looked around and I found my belt but there was no luck for Dad, unfortunately. Hopefully, he'll find it...Anywho, after that we went back to grandma's so he could make a phone call, then we headed back to here and I slept the entire way. I think Dad was wanting to do that and have me drive home but there was no way I could've done that and not get us killed because I would've fallen asleep at the wheel. That would not be cool. Then I wouldn't be able to tell everyone how much of a good time I had. lol. Well...All I can say is that if I feel and look the way I do now after the past 3 or so days, holy shit I had a fucking awesome time and there's no denying it. True story. ;)
I'm gonna go hop in the shower in a few and try to take a nap so anyone just call me up and keep me entertained because I have nothing to do right now and maybe looking for something to do later today.
