Its been going very well. Music midtown last weekend was a total blast. On Friday night we started out riding Marta, which was a bitch. You wonder why they make no profit? I sure dont, they suck. Anyway, we had to walk quite a ways from the Marta station to get to the stages, but we got to pass by the Fox Theatre so that was alright. Once we got there though I was kinda tired of walking. My dad went up to the ticket booth and asked for two tickets, then they told us that we had to pay in cash, of course my dumbass of a dad hadnt remebered this, even though thats the way its always been. So now we had to find an ATM. We had to walk all the way back up to a ghetto publix. Meanwhile the main band that we had come to see was starting already. Score one for dad!(yeah right). We got the money though and got end just as the second song was done. Tantric was awesome though, they played mostly songs from their new album. They sounded good, although their guitar could have been turned up. They finished off and my dad and I went to go check out the food. We were standing on the hill next to the 96 rock stage when an awesome thing happened. Denise and Katie and a few of their friends ran up and said Hi! So now I had some cool people to hang out with. I also was surounded by a group of girls, not bad hehehe. We stayed and watched some of the Kansas concert, but they were kinda scary, so we left to go get a good spot at the 99X stage for Default. That concert was amazing, we were packed in tight, and Default was playing very well. We got to help crowd surfers, watch passed out people being pulled out of the crowd. The cocert lasted a long time and it was really great, spending time with Katie and Denise was cool too, but of course the music was the best part. There was someone smoking a blunt really close and I could smell it the entire time. After that concert was done though, my dad made me leave cause I was supposed to ahve a game the next day, what bullshit. So I had to say goodbye to Katie and Denise and leave. That really sucked cause Hoobastank was coming on that night. Anyway the next day it turnred out that the game was cancelled anyway : (. So I was pissed but I knew I still had a day of fun left. We got there just as the smithereens were stating, I love that band, they are so old school and just plain genuine. I called Katie because I was trying to find them but she didnt have her phone. I left the Smithereens concert a little early to try and go see the Trapt concert, they were supposed to sound like Linkin Park. That concert sucked though, I had to leave cause the music was soooo bad, they sounded nothing like Linkin Park. Anyway I met up with my dad then went bakc to the 99X stage for the Strokes! They were amazing, truly wonderful. It got really good when people started climbing the light pole in the middle of the parking lot the stage was in. I never found Katie and Denise, was a bummer but the concerts were awesome. Next were the Offspring, who I dont like that much, but I have to admit that they put on a good show. Near the end though I went to the Civics Center entrance that was close to the stage and just sat down. I was going to go make a call, when a girl called me over. She told me she loved my shirt nad that I should come sit with them. So I did and I hung out for quite awhile with her and her friends and talked about parties and stuff. Her namer was Lindsay and she was from snellville, she was really cool. So that was a good cap for the night my dad and I eventually got back on Marta and went home. On sunday I watched Kill Bill vol. 1 which was probably the best cap to a wonderful weekend that you could have. Monday I went to my personal trainer and we did legs completely, I was so tired for my game afterwards, I could barely stand. I came out alright though, and even almost managed a triple play at third. Today kinda sucked though because I was soooo tired and I woke up with a headahe. It was a tough day but I got through it, I went to the trainer again and we did upper body and arms, now I can barely do a push up cause I'm so tired. I've also been trying to set up a date with Sarah, shes a really great person, and I 'd really like to do it. Its been really difficult to get in touch with her though. Anyway thats what ive been up to lately.
