this is copied from myspace.
(So i copied this from myspace as an excuse to finally make a live journal, enjoy)
So, i'm feeling inspired to write in this again for some reason, i had an interesting day.
So today I woke up and went to band practice for my show tommarow to get used to the new drummer. Our bassplayer didn't show up, he's useless. The show will probably be pretty sketchy, oh well. We arn't known for our tight songs.
Me and Brandon went to my old office and made some more flyers for the show on saturday and brandon cursed at the secretary because she's annoying. good job.
Then was the show at lions home.
It was Fatter Than Albert (ska), The Ghostwood (great melodic punk), Stereohype (ok ska/emo), and this really bad radio metal band that I didn't catch the name of.
So stereohype was ok..nothing too exciting, blah ok.
Then the ghostwood played. They are definatly one of my favorite new orleans bands. Along with A hunger artist, PROMIS, The Red Beards, and Silent Cinema.
So they are playing and i'm singing along and dancing my white boy freak dance, and I look and realize i'm pretty much the only person singing. So they start their song called Excited, which is a great song and they come to a singalong part towards the end and they stop. The leadsinger/bass player points and me and says something like "that kid tate is awsome blah blah" (someone who was there i guess can elaborate on that for me, but it was close), so then he throws the mic at me and I MISS THE MIC. And it falls to the ground and the whole crowd hears the thud of the mic on the ground. Brandon told me the owner of the PA gave me an angry look too, but whatever he's fat. Then I stare at it laying on the ground for a good 5 seconds before i realize that he was wanting me to sing. So i pick up the mic and see seth right next to me and start singing.
Download the song? yes.

The chorus went like this, in case you were wondering:
When was the last time you were excited?
Got up, got out and did something new.
When was the last time you did anything?
And did it true.
Maybe a little cheesy but seriously ask yourself that daily and you'll have a better life.
Soo anyway it was a cool moment for me, although other people probably won't get the coolness (someone buy me a thesaurus, please) of it.
So after they finshed playing FTA was up who Iv seen 23905725987 times and were great as always so i danced and stuff but that isn't important. During their set the guys from the ghostwood were sitting at their merch table and they called my name "Tate do you want to go on tour with us?", I think it was james who said that. He had this pretty long speech about getting to surf in San Diego and how cool San Francisco was. I agreed that would be cool, also realizing that he was probably being sarcastic. EITHER WAY, it would be great to go on tour with a band like that.
Other highlights were seeing puddle girl, this girl who i saw with tony and brandon at jazz fest who had jumped in a puddle on the day where it rained. That girl is stalking me i swear, iv seen her 3 other times since then. I found out that her and her friends refer to me as jacket dude, or something like that, because they were cold at jazzfest from the water and asked for a jacket. We don't each others names and maybe I should keep it that way? HM? i dunno.
Another highlight was seeing Damo, seth's "former" cokehead friend. But FUCK. If he doesn't look like a fucking cokehead now. SHIT. My friend leigh might have a picture or something I could post later, I don't know. This guy is scary as fuck though. At least this time he wasn't stealing a knife from bennigins.
So there you go, my long, incoherant, earlymorning post for the next few months. If you get this far feel free to comment and tell me how cool/lame I am . If you were there at any of this please feel free to tell me I am remembering part of my night incorreclty. I'LL TAKE YOU'RE PLEAS INTO ACCOUNT. and revise.
Good Night. PS. WTF does quixotic mean? Its a band..i didnt' know it was a mood. Someone help please.
