good birthday today.
woke up at 8... that's really wierd. I fell asleep no earliler than 2:30 and my mom woke me up at 8 to tell me my dad was calling me from connecticut (no my parent's aren't separated, he went there to be with his mother who has been recently diagnosed with lung cancer) so i talked to him. I think sometimes, when people don't have much to say, they should end the conversation. My dad thought differently and kept asking things like "so hows the band going" to which i'd reply "good" and he'd re-ask like "so is there anything new going on with the band (because i'm really interested because it's your birthday)". I just kept saying "good" and "ok" until the conversation was over. couldn't fall asleep again so i got up and looked at porn on the internet... legally. I think i'm pretty much done with porn, cept the hustler jarrod said he bought me for my birthday.
checked the internet things.
got inspired.
went into the kitchen to see that my mom had gotten a bunch of guitar magazines for me for my birthday, one of which contained a cd-rom that i watched in my computadora. Saw a video of john petrucci from dream theatre shredding some crazy ass chromatics. dave mustaine was still into shitty guitarring and doubly shitty music. some other dude from nevermore (wicked power metal! get yo hammers out!) and it was lame too, but the musicianship was at least good in that the composition was really complex, but they still suck and if you like fantasy-ass power metal (a-la hammerfal, etc.) you suck too
heard a short clip of pink floyd and decided i'd listen to dark side of the moon again (shut up danny, i know you know much more about pink floyd than i, or even pink floyd do) while laying on the living room floor. listened to breathe, thats such a pretty song. then time came on and at first i was going to switch it, but remembered how much i used to like that song. talked about wasting your life by procrastinating and not living to the fullest kind of and i thought this was ironic, being the first time i had listened to that song as a legal adult. kind of thought i was living by sloth and laziness and i could have had so much accomplished by the time i was now 18 and i decided that i'm officially inspired.
went outside.
ran around the yard alot.
got my bike.
rode into the woods and jumped this vague jump i made that i've recently carpeted, but still sucks, due to it's sandy composition.
raked a little.
went back inside.
[editors note: i think my foot may be broken]
did stupid things for awhile.
matt buzan came over.
we went to get me a checking account.
then we went to joes and met up with joe and jessie just as they had arrived at their abode.
i recieved a 15 buck gift cert. to cd warehouse from jessie and "happy birthday" #13 of the day from her.
jessie was on a happybirthdayathon.
thanks jessie.
lots of other stuff.
dawn and ian come over to my house and deliver cake with dismembered figures on it.
how sweet.
consumed sweet decrepid cake.
mmmmmmmmmmm.
was very good.
thanks to dawn and her bday is tomorrow, everyone lets make her day fun and shit.
no-wave jam out on dumpster guitar with 2 strings, no nut, a built in speaker and a funky tremolo.
everyone leaves.
dawn takes ian home to mow.
goodwill time.
wok-n-roll with dawn and ryan and ryan's recently off-work mom.
sick hot in restaurant.
go home and eat.
get friends: ian, joe, and burton and drive to daytona.
set up at nicelys.
small turnout. lots of friends/friends from deland.
sweet double distros.
got neat shit.
play to a small, un-interested audience.
rasquatch shows up and shouts a lot about how deaf gordon rocks their asses sometimes.
cut set short due to fatigue and lack of air conditioning.
ended with billy biferie, you're bacne.
fast.
went through 3 guitars (no wave guit for intro to 'notary for a chest', red guitar for next couple of songs until i break my d string, quick switch to black guitar thats out of tune and i hate. floor tom is busted too. fuck them all.
re-loaded up again.
positive reinforcement was really cool. fast and neato. girl played a guitar and made me realize that all the bands except mine had a girl in it, wierd. Another wierd observation: why do girls have to play bass? i think it was neat that the posi-force girl was a guitarist and the i object! girl was the singer. mega rad. rasquatch girl is bassist but also sings and is really nice. WORD!
fucking everyone was sooooooooooo fun. anyone who missed out definately missed out.
i knew a bunch of the i object songs too, so that was neat. i only had their pink 7" at the time, but they played a bunch of songs from it. thanks to you.
rasquatch was neato and fucking awesome as usual. played 'no gods no masters' by amebix again. i can't ever pick out the song when they play it though. ahh well, i'm not too big an amebix fan anyways.
special night hightlights for cool people. ella gave me a birthday gift of my check from the beacon. isn't she generous? was nice to bring it to me though. i always forget when those come out. brittany gave me some enormous sun flowers and swedish fish and her old guitar- an epiphone les paul. cool. that was so nice of that girr. thanks for that. joe bought me an i object t-shirt. thanks boy. everyone is so nice.
after the show i talked to tige from rasquatch at length about music. he's a nice feller. i've known him from a distance for awhile, but recently (the ocala show) got acquainted with him. neat man. he's 28. 10 years more than me. quick math. easy math.
