June starts tomorrow.
The countdown will soon be on.
Get ready for a roller coaster ride of lame ass blogs!!

The Long Stretch.

Dreams of big cities and rooftops came a bit closer today.
With the sun setting across the horizon, a phone call was made.
Plans were thought out a bit more.
Promises were made.
Exchanging words of the future made the glimpse of hope more of a band.
Two young ones saw their lives become full of new adventures.
All there is to do now is wait.

May 28, 2009.

Today was a good day.
I actually enjoyed myself.

Spot on, yo.

I read Lauren's blog...so I was interested in what the hell my horoscope said for today aaaand this is the result.

"You may have more spring in your step today, as if a new lightness of being has filtered all the way down to your toes. But your head, too, is affected as mental clouds that obscured the sky have now dispersed, allowing you to see the distant horizon. Luckily, the New Moon in your 9th House of Big Ideas can help you make exciting plans for your future. Give yourself permission to dream without worrying about the results."


Hmmm funny how these damn things are so spot on at times.

Years ago.

I found this picture and started laughing.
This picture is worth a million words.

Isn't that the truth.

We all have done it. We all try to be clever by finding words from others to make sense of our day but, "...Sometimes there are no words, no clever quotes to sum up what's happened that day. Sometimes, the day just ends" - Hotch from Criminal Minds.

Tonight...

I am reminiscing about the Tooth & Nail Tour. This was in 2006 and the tour rolled through Des Moines and played at The House of Bricks. Jonzetta, The Classic Crime, Emery and Anberlin graced the stage for one of the most fun shows I have ever been to. I went with my dear friends Lauren and Kenzie. I met two people who would become amazing friends for what seemed too short of a time...John and Anton. Seriously, such a fun night. Jonzetta and The Classic Crime were fun bands to watch. I was just getting into Anberlin at the time and because of that show they have been high on my list of amazing bands. Emery put on one of the best shows I saw probably that entire year, and I saw a lot of shows that year.
Although 2006 was only a mere 3 years ago, it seems as if the music scene has changed so much. 2006 was by far one of the best years for music and for Iowa bringing in amazing shows. I wish I could go back to that year just for the music.

Summer fun?

This summer may have just gotten a bit better.
Road trips! Although they may be short, they may be the best thing ever.
Iowa City
Omaha
Chicago

elsewhere? Who knows.
Im pretty much excited for summer now.

4.

1. It is officially day six of summer vacation.
I am already pissed off about my work situation.

2. From day one of summer vacation until day 21 of summer vacation, I will have had three days off work.
Two of those days have already passed.

3. Next week between both jobs, I work 48 hours.
That is more then what full time people work.
Not cool.

4.I am going to have no free time and the pay off will be crap.
I will save a ton of money and my plans will fall through.
I guess a U.S. Roadtrip will have to do next summer.

Do you love me??

So if anyone loves me, you should take me to Gurnee, Illinois on July 16, 2009.
We could be jammin out to Jesse McCartney...live.
How much fun would that be?!?!?
I know you wanna take me!!

:)

Even though it is a bit dreary out, today has been a good day.
I am done with school and now it is time for summer.
I went shopping.
I somehow spent close to 200 dollars and only 30 dollars was on myself.
I love my family and friends and like to buy them nice things.
The 30 dollars I spent was to buy:
Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band - Outer South
Meg & Dia - Here, Here and Here
Jesse McCartney - Departure:Recharged

so far, best 30 dollars I have spent in a long time. haha.

1. When did Jesse McCartney grow up? I still think of him as the little blonde haired 12 year old in Dream Street. He is far from that now. Yummmm. haha.
2. Just when I think Conor Oberst has outdone himself, he surprises me. He is amazing beyond words.
3. Meg & Dia are so cute, I just had to get the new album.

Body Language - Jesse McCartney
Told You So - Jesse McCartney

It is about time.

Honestly, I just want tomorrow to come and be done with.
Why? It is my last final tomorrow. As of tomorrow around 11:30 a.m. I will be done with Des Moines Area Community College for the rest of my entire life. I will finally have my AA Degree and can move on with my life.
I can finally attend a REAL college where it does not feel like high school.
So excited!!

And the city lets them protect people?

Now, I don't like Forever the Sickest Kids or We the Kings...
but i do feel bad for these guys.
I have read about this story in a few different places.
Police at their finest.
Story is...the band was parked where they weren't supposed to be, so the dudes were moving it. The police thought the guys had bad attitudes even though they were doing what they were told. Things escalated and a few of the dudes with the bands got pretty hurt by the police.
Crazy shit man.
If you listen to the things being said by onlookers in both videos, its clear the police did not need to use brutlaity on the guys.


The Bamboozle Road Show(April 26 Philly): Bands, Batons, & Blood
