quite obviously...i enjoy mus-ac...ic...what have you...and up until now i havent made much of an effort to include it in my entries...this i feel is a mistake...music helps me in my daily life...if i could listen to music at work, i wouldnt mind being there at ALL...but icant...somethng about animals, or whatever...
Topic tonite...shows...my favorite remains the devirginizing one, the AFI concert at the Riv, may of 2003...granted there are far better bands out there then afi, but it was a pretty sweet show...blood brothers were there, sweet deal, as always...i fell asleep inthe balcony during the explosion, a loud song, duh...but really, i can sleep thru anything...anything, trust me...the thing that makes me put it at the top of my list is that there were a lot of negatives that nite...they couldve ruined the entire evening...but when i got there, breathed in the smoke filled air, felt the atmosphere, i didnt give a shit about anything,anyone...it was all RIGHT THERE...it was my first love...nothing to come after could compare...
In between the first and the most recent were some river city rebels shows, an attempted mustard plug show, ending in disaster...some local shows, which were, eh, alright...and then the locust/your enemies freind show, which was pretty swell...the merch guy didnt like my i like cats they taste like chicken shirt( or was it my think of all the cows we'd save if we all became cannibals?) i dont remember...dangit, thats gonna bother me...anyhow, that show was fun...we left early, even though shaunna and i wanted to stay for dillinger...still good nite...
Finally, the Nekromantix, horrorpops, and (ugh) the business were playing punks vs. psychos at HOB...this show was disappointing in a way, because Kim got pneomonia, and the Nekromantix didnt play...and we couldnt leave early, cus danny zuko wanted to save five bucks(insert extreme bitterness here) but it turned out to be alright...Horrorpops were good, im listening to them now, and shaunna and i stayed in the pit the whole business set, some shit head kept giving me weird looks...but it was good times...awesome memories i intend to bestow upon young people in the future, in hopes they too will experiance good shows...those nights, with the exception of , mmm, two , were some of the best nites of my life...i was just in a whole diffrent world then...no worries, no pain (of the emotional/psychological kind, physical pain was rampant and welcome :) no mchenry crap interfering...and i got a cool shirt ( yay)
Point of dragging story? the only times i can remember where i didnt worry, was at the shows ...and sleeping...but i dont remember anything when i sleep...and listening to music takes me back to these times, feelings, memories...its good, healthy for me, to remember good times, and not dwell on bad times...even in my darkest times, i left it all behind when i went to see a concert...
