so, a few weeks ago, someone brought it to my attention that i did something awful. and it was my job to figure out what it was. so, i thought long and hard about it for about a week, speculated about some things, then said fuck it. i dont really care.
then a few days ago, i started thinking about it again and today... VOILA!!! figured it out with 100% certainty. so now i really dont have to think about it anymore. mystery solved.

look whos back...
i've decided its time to start writing again and do something cathartic and productive and whatever, so... here i am. the adventure continues.
i've had this verse of a song whirling around my head all day... "and if this were a book, i'd call this song the final chapter, if you read it you'd be laughing..." so, i kinda took it as a sign, or a note to self. clearly, this verse has significant meaning to me or it wouldn't be repeating. and i realized that its time to start a new book. i get to write my own life, my own story. and sometimes you just gotta know when to fold and throw in your cards and say, fuck, this story that i'm writing is never going to be a best-seller, and even though i've spent many a night cross-referencing and finding the right words and phrases and descriptive language, no one's gonna want to read this, and you just toss it in the fire. a manuscript no one knew existed. and start over.
so, once upon a time...

just a quickie.
right before i moved to texas, he said "you can't get pregnant right after your period."
quote of the day: "ovulation. not the only time to get pregnant." nice.
also, weird. my pictures below posted in a totally different order than i uplaoded them. dont get it...

kick me while i'm down. please.
just as i start feeling pretty good about myself, god decides to throw me for another loop. testing me? i dunno. whatever it is, it sucks. i read this great thing that said "for every finger you point, remember three are pointing back at you." so, that being said, i've had about a million insults and judgements of character thrown my direction over the last week or so that bruised my sense of self pretty badly and made me feel pretty crappy about myself. i mean, i guess i'm dealing with them far better than i would have in the past in that instead of getting defensive or hurtful or saying fuck it and sitting around being depressed, i've decided to take these things with a grain of salt, but take them nonetheless and look at them. add them to my inventory. maybe if people feel this way about me, it is worth a real honest look at what these people have to say and take a real honest look at myself. i mean, yeah, someone tells you something shitty it sucks. maybe i did sit around for a day or two having a pity-party. these things definately made me question myself. for a minute, i felt like saying fuck it to all the work i've been doing because if i'm that shitty of a person then why the fuck bother. i guess the point is, if any of you have something to say about me, nows the time. i'm receptive to whatever you have to say, and i am willing to add this to my list of defects and look at them and address them and figure out what to do to change them to be a better person. sometimes i can't see something about myself that others can, so i'm asking for help. i need it.
as it stands.
so, fuck. after thinking long and hard about this i've decided that i pretty much have to go back to california to see the lawrence arms. both nights. maybe 3, if i have time to go to SLO. i thought about how much fun it was the last time they came to the bay and that pretty much, that was the best weekend of my life. then i looked at my pictures from last time and further decided i have to go. i know this time wont be exactly the same as last, but i do know that i heart TLA, that there are a ton of old friends i generally only see when the lawrence arms play, my friend ethan said he would go with me, like last time, and since he doesnt drink that also means that in addition to having his company, i also have a sober ride home. so. fuck it.

the lawrence arms are ruining my life.
so, i have some time to kill before work, also some catching up to do, and since i will be out a computer for an indefinate amount of time to have it repaired, this is going to be a big one.
first, let me start by saying that the lawrence arms hate me and they are ruining my life. so, anyone who knows me knows that this is like, one of my ALL TIME FAVORITE bands. also, anyone who knows me well knows that i've been bitching about how they havent been on tour for years and that its about fucking time. last show they played was november of 2007, and it was pretty much the best weekend ever. anyway. so they are about to go on tour again... and NOT to texas. at all. where are they going? thats right. california. 2 nights in san francisco, one night in SLO, a few nights in orange county and LA. what this means to me: i'd prefer to see them in orange county for several reasons but can't because it conflicts with fun, fun, fun fest, so looks like i'm coming back to the bay much sooner than i anticipated, and much sooner than i would like to. the good news is that bottom of the hill is probably my favorite venue in san francisco, not to mention my favorite place to see TLA, so if i have to go back to san francisco at least this will be worth it. of course, it would all just be a shit-ton easier if they would just play in texas dammit, especially since it is so much closer to chicago.
another few notes about bands. TONS of good shows are coming up, and the line up for fun fun fun is being released in 3 days. so far, i know lucero is playing which is enough for me. the jesus lizard, les savy fav, GZA, and 7 seconds also playing. its a 2 day show, so i can't imagine how many more bands will be scheduled, but i know it should be awesome. also, i saw set your goals on thursday and that was awesome for a million reasons, including how nice it was to see a familiar face in texas, and knowing that familiar face will be back in fall. i also realized there are no rules pertaining to shows in austin. honestly, it made me a little nervous, like, omg someone is going to die here. but no girls were choked in the making of this show...
