last week of summer

hey yall. i'm gunna get thru this early. time to rant about warped tour. we all knew it was coming, so just try to make it thru it.

warped rocked my face off. it rocked it off good. didnt get to see everyone i wanted, but i saw mad shows anyway. starting line, atreyu, hawthorne heights, senses fail, falloutboy, dropkick murphys, offspring, and my chemical romance all rocked the fuck out.

well, i dont know how the senses fail show was, i was too busy trying not to die. ron got too close to the stage without being next to the stage, and people all rushed to the front once the music started. in turn, everyone in front of them (including me) were crammed together and pretty much crushed. then, the huddled mass started moving every which way, and i had no control over where i went. so basically, the entire show, i was just trying to stay standing (fall down, and it was certain death.) but i eventually got out, and holy shit, theres amber pendleton and company. seein them was pretty cool. ran into a whole mess of people, including markie 9, the savarias and crew, steve from tennis, and jt saw steve zot.

they had prolly close to a hundred merch tents, with stuff ranging from shirts to cds to overpriced water and powerade (3 bucks for a powerade is crazy, thats why i only bought two.) paul got kicked out, and near the end of the show, i was looking for him (he had the keys.) so mcr finished up with helena (i dont like the song, but helena live rocked) and of course markie 9 pointed me to the wrong parking lot. what ensued was 45 minutes where tom, paul, and jt thought they lost ron at warped tour. thank god i sorta remembered where we parked, cuz i wanna say there was prolly 70+ thousand people there, and if we woulda taken any longer leaving, we woulda been there till earlier this morn.

so we got out, and of course, where do four mud-clad losers go when all the fun is over? burger king. duh. that was the single best meal i think i've ever eaten. perhaps it was the heat exhaustion, the dehydration, the temporary deafness, soarness, or the fact that we looked and felt absolutely disgusting, but it made my rodeo burgers and fries that much more glorious. we ended up getting to pauls at about 11ish, then it was a shower, chat or two, and then off to bed for like midnight oclock. perfect end to the perfect day.

so today, went and got new shoes (needed to, my old ones were ruined yesterday, i took a pic of them, as well as a decent few from warped, and one of me covered in filth, sexy) and i picked up the new simpsons dvd set. lovin it so far, but the packaging is stupid. its a big plastic homer head, and its absolutely useless. its cheap, gaudy, and just bad. hopefully, they'll change the next ones. also picked up the new 311 cd. all i gotta say is meh. its not bad, but its not great. dont tread on me is an ok song, but the rest of the cd is just meh. no doubt that the show on friday is gunna rock, but 311 is gunna have to wait another year for that grammy.

well registered for my classes today. schedule kinda sucks, but thats what i get for waiting so long. o well. we'll try again next semester. least i'll be able to sleep in (yep, wednesday are night classes.) maybe it wont be so bad.

ok so i'm outa here. its getting late, and i'm still recovering from yesterday. figger i'll watch simpsons till i pass out. sounds like a plan eh? so i'll try and check in again after the 311 show, but if not, keep it fresh y'all.
