it means no worries, for the rest of your days!

so i just got back from the sevendust show, and i have SUCH exciting things to discuss with you!

so umm...if you know me, perhaps you know that sevendust is not my most favorite band. to be fair, i didn't really know what they sounded like, i could recognize maybe a few songs by them but that's it...

so yeah...i went because nikki likes em and i guess couldn't find anyone to go with and well...i've been there, and it really fucking sucks.

we waited on line and saw danny...this kid from high school, except he's like...still in high school...not a freshman anymore though!!! he said we should go see his band instead of sevendust because they were playing upstairs.

time passes...we go inside, nikki wants to be in the front row...i'm a little troubled, because...sevendust are a rarhh band and i am not a rarrrh person unless i REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY like the band. (meaning...it has to be thursday, since they're the only loud band that i like that much) anyway...they've put up a wooden barrier, which is fucking ridiculous. it used to be that first row was leaning on the stage, now its like 2 feet back...it fucking SUCKS!! that was the coolest part of the chance! thats where i stood and saw geoff! but no more, i guess.

so the first band comes out and....i really don't like them. i don't like that type of music, really. it was like...adema-like. throw in a little drowning pool, some papa roach. gag me. but they had one song with some nifty speed guitar that i was digging, too bad the singer kept making those noises, it really ruined it!

the next band i dug for awhile, they were called presence and at first they sounded a lot like old school incubus. well not that old, but the science stuff. mix in a little rage against the machine and snapcase, that was them. i thought they rocked. but then they had this one song, their new single they said, they wanted us to call the radio stations and ask for it, and it sounded TOTALLY different from any other song they played. it was like totally derivative modern rock bullshit. fucking pissed me off.

anyway...after this band leaves, i notice this blonde girl trying get into a spot thats free against the barricade. a spot right next to me. thats fine...until i recognize her as the fucking crazy loud girl from the last bright eyes show i went to!!! she was annoying, and loud, and....AHH!! and i can't believe it, is she fucking stalking me? that show was in nyc, this is in poughkeepsie...and then she says she lives in albany! not to mention that this was SEVENDUST and that was BRIGHT EYES...hmm...very troubled little girl.

so...sevendust comes out, there is a pit, there is pushing, but it's not bad. i was expecting horrible rib bruising like i had after being against the stage at the thursday show, but it wasn't a problem. the mosh pit was rowdy but like...the fucking ataris mosh pit was crazier than that. i am disappointed in you sevendust fans!! boy sets fire and thursday had better pits than you. shame, shame.

during their second song, i got hit in the face with a pick and then it landed on my arm. i didn't know what it was, i didn't see it coming, i thought it was some big bug or something and i freaked out. but...yeah. the strobe lights were giving me a wicked headache and...ahh.

i can't think of anymore...the show wasn't bad, all the bands there had a lot of talent, but it's not my thing...

haha, nikki's probably really confused as to how i don't like sevendust and stuff...cuz like, i always am when a friend doesn't like my music. i'm like...wtf is wrong with you?? so yeah. sorry. i just...don't get it, i guess.

but i did like sevendust's drummer, he was awesome. my new hero.

i gave the pick to nikki. cuz...what the hell am i gonna do with it? i do find it rather depressing that the first time i ever got anything from a band, it was fucking sevendust. oh well. maybe it made her happy, at least.

and i probably shouldn't write about this because i know you all think i'm crazy and obsessive, but the whole time i was at that show i was wishing it was thursday. or...wishing isn't the right word i guess. like...i was having these weird flashbacks because we were standing in the same spot and...ahh, it was really weird! like everytime the lead singer came over...i kept seeing geoff. should i be institutionalized?

i don't know...i don't think it has anything to do with the band at all, i just think that night was really hard for me and i can't forget about it no matter what i do. i'm fucking psycho.

and i have to work all day tomorrow. having 2 jobs is wicked awesome, yay for that.
