reboot
trying to get started writing in this journal again is tough. hell, i don’t even read other people’s journals like i used to. i don’t think it’s that i have less free time, it’s just that, well, i think at least, since i’m back with most of my friends, i have less need to document my life as much. for me, one of the best things in life is the magic of a shared experience. something epic, or habitual, that people will remember and talk about whenever they find themselves in the company of their co-conspirators. when your co-conspirators aren’t around, i guess you just have to compensate. that’s a theory anyway.
went to a show last night. saw local shredders the awakening, and el scorpio. i’ve always really expected the awakening, byt was never super into them, but tonight, they actually blew me away, and i just kept thinking, “damn this is hot”. unfortunately, well for me at least, they’re going on tour so i won’t be able to see them for awhile. oh well, at least there’s silencio, my new favorite band. they play rich, technical music that combines elements of metal, jazz, math rock, and indie rock into a sweet package. seeing bands like them makes me want to quit playing guitar. also listening to sage francis a ton. he’s this white, straight-edge, vegetarian rapper from providence, ri. if the straight-edge/veggie thing wasn’t enough to make me like him, he also has amazing lyrical skills and enough insight to say something with the skills. oh yeah. down for converge after seeing them rock at more than music as well as jawbreaker because they’ve been on the house cd player.
anyway, i wanted to write more, but i’m exhausted … tomorrow for sure.
