this is the soundtrack of my life

"lean on sheena, she leans on me a lot. hold on, hold on. hold on to what u've got."

i can't believe i missed that with her. so quote nofx "when did punk rock become so safe?" ridiculous. warped is on the decline. there were some wonderful moments yes, but compared to say 2 years ago or so, its really slipped. so yeah saturday was warped tour in milwaukee, biggest punk show of the year, of course i'm gonna be there....even if we r 2 hours l8.

ok heres how it went down. sat morning jamin, kyle, and i r supposed to meet up at lukes house at 8...a.m. to help an older brother move. well i haven't really been sleeping and i was out a bit l8 the night b4 so i just couldn't get up. so jamin and kyle went. i was to meet up with every1 l8er. so i'm on my way to meet up with every1 (after some much needed couple extra hours of sleep) and i get a call telling me to go to krustins (dustin + kristi= krustin, they rok) i was very confused becuz every1 else was not meetin up there and krustin wasn't going. turns out i had to go pick up my ex's new girl. now u'd think that'd be a bit akward. it was. haha ok no not really, she's just not one to really talk, 2 me at least, and we don't have much in common at all so i just made pointless chit chat, i hate doing that.

ok fast forward, we now have all officially met up at lukes place and r ready to rok out. we all jump in lukes car (somehow i always get crammed in the back seat with big ppl, well not big ppl, but bigger then me ppl. man that stinks on the way back....LITERALLY) so we r off on a crazy round about way to the lakeshore becuz there is construction everywhere. finally we make it and can't find parking, accidentally end up back on the freeway and suddenly realize the worst possible thing has happened...WE FORGOT THE TICKETS!! NNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
so we have to go back and get em. lukes dad is cool enough to meet us halfway with the tix, too bad we got lost in milwaukee on the way to get em, stupid construction! we finally make it there. so find we missed bouncing souls. honestly i don't think u know how tragic this is. that was pretty much the purpose in going. so now we r off to chicagos warped tour in july, and we will not miss them!

oh, did i mention jamin went as waldo?? from where's waldo?? he got more attention then the bands, haha! i can't tell u how many times i heard "I FOUND WALDO!!". it was brilliant actually to go as that, whenever we lost him i'd just ask "has anyone seen waldo??" makes things a bit easier. ok so who did i see?? mcs, great as usual, this time the crowd actually got going for them. less than jake was soooooooo great!! they just kept playing!! we got a skank circle going and then the biggest circle ever, it was like running around a football field! AWESOME!! they sang soundtrack of my life and while dancing i was thinking how gr8 that really is, and thought of possibly starting to mkae on for my life thus far. i voted for kudos was after that, always a good show. then some crazy irish punk band (not flogging molly...thats in a couple weeks). ummm kyle and i went on stage with hellogoodbye, its sooooo cool to see the crowd from the bands perspective. nofx closed it...."well milwaukee, ur better than ohio"...umm...thanx??

ok enough with that i know it sounds like my life revolves around music and thats not the impression i want to give, it just tends to be what i post about. i'm actually trying to cut back, i've seen too many young ppl get pulled into the world by being too into the music scene, i don't want that to be me. no matter how much u love shows and music its not worth it. its just definatly one of my weaknesses so uh, help me to cut back. i'm hungry. my goal yesterday was to relax. i failed miserably. u don't understand how sore i am, my calves neck and back mostly. they hurt sooo bad. i wanted to pretty much not move yesterday, that didn't work. went to my bros meeting...never quite feel welcome there, then went out to lunch with ppl. it took forever, soooooo slow, but good. came back home to shoot pool with ppl. i saw the comics and went to my room to read em quick, yeah i fell asleep. woke up and every1 was gone. oops. then kyle and i went to visit lauren to get some custard. she somehow managed to bribe her manager to get outta work and came home with us, lol. nice. we hung for a bit and kyle had to head back up to the u.p. lauren and i went to rent a move. man we r awful at that, anyone who knows me knows i'm soooooooooo indecisve, when it comes to lil things like that at least. we ended up with beverly hills ninja. came back to find my new quests had arrived...loaded on sugar, i hate hyperactive ppl when i'm dead tired and trying really hard to do nothing! wow, i don't suppose u need to hear my whole life story.

ok one more thing. i started to put my plan into action. my goal, regular aux. by sept. my plan, simplify, work less, get a different car, older so as to not have a car payment and be able to save more cash to move. work less. i talked to my boss today about my working 4 10 hour days a week so as to have mondays off for service. i told him my bro just graduated and would be interested in working there for that day i'm not there. he then asked if i would train him...ummmm sure. and asked y i wanted that day off what i'd be doing. so i told him. he asked if we ever got into arguments wit ppl and if my ents where witnesses and if i like being a witness. my boss isn't a huge fan, his sis was a witness and got df'ed i guess so it was a bit akward. he knows y i want that day off and that this is very important to me. and if he says no, he's gonna find out just how determined i am. i find out tomorrow, i've been praying like mad, i'm not sure what my next move will be IF he says no. do i threaten to quit?? do i accept it and try again later?? this is going to work.

I'm sure you can tell I love music as well. It seriously is the biggest personal interest i have, except of course the truly important things.

I could see going to shows becomming a problem, but I guess I have avoided that partially by being into bands that Rarely come anywhere near where I live and so can't go to their shows usually. But also, MP3s. They are a music lover's best friend. Get yourself a nice large capacity MP3 player and you have music all the time in a form that doesn't get in the way of most other things.

For the work issue, just pray, and then pray some more, and when you are done doing that? Pray again. Jehovah will make a way for you to pioneer.

Oh yeah, I sent an email asking about your song pick for "the project". I just wanted to let you know in case my email would get caught by filters or something on accident.

Flogging Molly? Did I hear Flogging Molly? And are you going to invite your little Irish friend? Oh no... Just like the Warping in Milwaukee - Everyone was all "I don't think I'm going to go this year." and left me at home. I really think you don't like me anymore :{
