Well. Two updates in two days. Aren't you lucky? Oh so lucky? Lucky, lucky. You're so lucky...
...Damn, is that song catchy or what.
Which brings me to tonight's rock show. The Dead 60s > Franz Ferdinand and every other dance punk band out there, sans the ones like The Clash who started it all. Seriously. If you're into those sort of jams, check them out.
Bullets and Octane were good too, in that cheesy eighties metal kind of way. Their singer moved like Scott Weiland, just worse and with a lot of super cliche hair dye, tattoos, and jewelery. I also didn't like the way he kept looking at my mom. Can anyone say creeper? I dug this one song they played a ton though. I don't know what it's called, but the line "God, I wish that bitch would die" sticks out in my mind. Catchy number, yeah?
Social Distortion was good as expected. Really not my thing, as I mentioned, but it was cool to bond with Renee' on something she really enjoys. I could tell that having me there meant a lot to her. They played "Story of My Life" too and I ended up remembering a lot of what they played ("Sick Boy", "Ring of Fire", "Under My Thumb", "Mommy's Little Monster", "Nickels and Dimes") from my childhood. Creepy.
Seeing all those people there made me realize how lame the kids who go to the shows that I usually go to are. Everyone was cool to everyone, with the exception of a few assholes and no one was afraid to move around and sing along and actually act like they were enjoying the band they were watching. I bet Monday at Emery, everyone will just stand there awkwardly bobbing their head to the music with their arms crossed, save for the select few who will be thrashing each other in the pit.
FYI - Crowd surfing is fucking retarded. Shoes to the head don't feel good. And if you're a girl doing it, you might not want to take your clothes from the slut section of your closet that night - you might get an unwanted feel. Gross.
I've decided that I really, really need a girlfriend. One who will play with my hair and will sit next to me and when we're not talking, will rub my leg like she cares. One that'll hold my hand and tell me things will be alright and let me know when I'm being an ass, but will always, always, always have faith in me even when I don't.
I thought that I had found that with a few people. I'm alone now, so I guess I was wrong. I'd kill for last December.
I've got practice tomorrow morning. We're continually writing new songs that will hopefully blow all of your minds. You really won't be expecting this stuff out of us. No plans for tomorrow just yet ... maybe Geauga Lake with a bunch of people ... maybe not. Give me a ring?

Nice.
