Hello!
So, as you can see, i'm not terribly commited to this whole livejournal thing. I only post once a week, and usually only when I'm feeling very good. What can I say, I find it much easier to pour my heart and soul out on a piece of paper with a real pen, not in digital format by punching letters onto a keyboard.
But, anyway, here I am, typing this all out. As many of you know, I went to a Toyes concert last night, in Ashland. St. Patty's Day Green Party... You all know the Toyes, takilma band, all old fogies by now, but still awesome. So, after a whole week of asking everyone at school if they wanted to go, i ended up going alone. However, I met Brett, Harlan, and Jared (Blair) in Ashland. Harlan's dad drove them. So, I left at 5, and, after circling Ashland a few times looking for the place, arrived at the Ashland Armory at 7. Three bands opened for the Toyes. Chesterfield was some sort of rock band from medford. They were AWFUL, and then there was another band that was no good, from portland, the Hell Yeahs. Things sucked while those first bands were playing, because there wasn't really anyone there. Then, the 3rd band, the Frankie Hernandez band came up, and i have to say, they were pretty awesome. They were more reggae, and played some great originals and covers. That was when things started to pick up, and we actually started dancing. Of course, the Toyes were what everyone was waiting for. By the time the toyes got on at 10, the hall was pretty full. I have to say, I love to dance. It's very fun when you're not at some crappy school dance where they play rap and shit like that, and all anyone wants to do is run around and jump on people. So anywho, we danced till midnight. We tried asking Harlan's dad to buy us some alcohol, but it didn't work, so we just settled for the joints that were being passed around the whole time in the front by the stage. There was one 20-something guy who was right next to me most of the time, and was really messed up on something. He would just run around people in circles for a long time and then fall over on top of them, then he'd go up and hug people, fall over on the floor for the 20th time, and then take off running in circles again. It was very entertaining. His girlfriend was chasing him around the whole time trying to stop him. So, the Toyes were great, it was tons of fun... yeah. We got out at midnight and were really fucking hungry, so we walked around ashland trying to find a place that was open. Unfortunately, the only places that were open at midnight on st. patricks day were bars. So, we went in circles around ashland trying to find food for at least 2 hours, and then we found a little minute mart. When we saw it we starting cheering and ran at full clock towards it. Turns out they had closed 15 mins earlier. So, after failed attempts to persuade the stupid fat lady working there to let us in, we went back to the hotel, and bought the HELL out of a snack vending machine. I got a pop tart, but the room didn't have a toaster. But, it DID have an iron, so instead of eating the pop tart cold, i ironed it. And, i have to say, it was pretty damn good. And so, we watched family guy and futurama until about two when we went to bed. I woke up around 7:30, took a shower, and went to have breakfast with harlan's dad, who had come in sometime after we went to bed. He told me all about the drunken fun he had the night before. At least, as much as he could remember. (lucky bastard) So, I left just as everyone else was waking up. I drove 85 on the interstate, passing everyone on the way home, and blasting reggae music out of my speakers. All in all, it's been a pretty good couple of days.
Holy Shit!!! did i really just write that much!? O_O
ok, well... ima go to takilma and hang out with ivan and krillin i s'pose... They're so lonely... It's kind of sad that i'm just about their only friend, aside from olaf...
