it's friday night, the first of July '05 and it goes without saying...it's been a while since my last visit...i'd like to pretend that i lead such an exciting life that i simply cannot find the time to recap all my latest adventures for all the world wide web to read, but that's not entirely true...the past few weeks have been interestingly enough though - after i returned from Bonnaroo (see: "My Return From the 'Roo") i rejoined the working world with much chagrin. Work sucks. On the 18th i travelled to Philly with Dave and Matt to see Modest Mouse at the Electric Factory - it was friggin' awesome!!! They were even better than at Bonnaroo, i'm guessing it was the atmosphere...it was so cool, seriously i do not have words to properly pay them homage. Awesome. We were pretty close to the stage and after some pushy people moved the crowd around splitting up our group- i rocked out. Awesome. See them before you die. Awesome. The next day my Dad and Bro' came down for Father's Day/Jackass' Bday. I treated them to dinner at Rockwell's before enjoying the Willie Nelson & Bob Dylan concert in Lancaster. It was a really nice time - my Dad seemed to really enjoy himself, and surprisingly enough i did too. We got along great and it was kinda cool to just hang out with my family. My Dad was pretty funny, decked out in his Hawaiian tee and fedora cap, he called everyone in his phone to tell them he was at a Willie Nelson concert! My only regret was leaving right before Dylan's encore and missing "Watchtower" - damn! So then - i worked some more during the following week, which was emotionally draining - everyone at work is so cranky, including me. i did have another job interview last week, but it didn't go so well so who knows what'll happen next. This past Saturday, we had a lil' cookout at the apartment with most of the girls, some good friends and Athena too! It was a nice time, i make sweet burgers. The Dave Matthews' Band concert was that night in Hershey, which, as usual, rocked! Our seats, although in the bleachers, were fairly good and i had a great time!! I believe that was my 11th show, crazy. The next day i waitressed and just hung out, which was really cool :)
Another groovy weekend!!! So then on to this week...work was work and play was no fun. i hate turmoil amongst my closest friends. i feel as though i cannot seem to do anything right sometimes and i fear i am losing something that means a great deal to me. i cannot elaborate for a variety of reasons but i want it to be known that i am trying and i want to be okay. enough said. Anyhoo..i really should go to bed now - Kristen and i are planning on hoping on a Philly-bound train tomorrow in hopes of catching a glimpse of the Live 8 festivities. So, in conclusion - Go see live music, it's fun. Enjoy your summer days, they're fleeting. And cherish your friendships, always. Happy Independence Day. Woo for fireworks...
