Bits, and bits of things are so far getting better, and better. Today I learned I got the job at the Frys I put the application in to. I know have a source of income and money again. It's not going to be much, but it will be something, or at least some free spending cash, of which I do not have to waste on a band right now. With this I can save up to buy a guitar and amp. I already have my eye on 2 guitars, and an amplifier. It's gonna run me around I think about $1,300 for it all. I'm hoping for a big sale so it will come down. Not only that I still need to save up so I will have money in Flagstaff if they don't have a Frys in Flagstaff or can't transfer me. I will have some money as a foundation to start the year.
Tonight I am a little flustered with the fact I had to miss Against Me! in Flagstaff. I will be seeing them on Saturday as a compensation. It's not much. The difference is about seven songs. I would like them to play "Those Anarcho Punk Are Mysterious," but I suspect they will not. I also checked out the setlists from their headlining shows, compared to the shows where they were an opener. I'm still holding out that they will be added on to Epicenter Festival in September. Rise Against said they were playing on their website, but I haven't seen an official announcement from them, or the festival. Crossing my fingers.
My trip to California is a few days away. Going to see Keane at Greek Theater on the 21st, then see Chris Chasse band (former Rise Against lead guitarist) the following day at the Roxxy on teh Strip. Talk about feeling at home. LA and two concerts, a beach, Mets game. Did I die or something. If I did, please let me stay here. The only thing that would make it better would be seeing Rise Against. Oh wait, that's about 8 weeks later. I think I should just say, "fuck it," and move out there. I heard they have internet. Phoenix just sucks and is probably a big reason I really can't move forward in things, band, school, career. I wanted to be a firefighter and they have a volunteer department in NY. Los Angeles, as big and as crowded as it may be. It is the place I would like to be.
Now this is what has me burning, or confused. One or the other. Haven't really made up my mind which one it is. What I am stuck on is what to do with my hair right now. I just got a job and I figured I would need to do this anyways. I just don't know what to do with it. I have ideas in mind. They range from short to lengthy, but not long like it is now. I have really had long hair for the better part of 3 years now. I don't want it anymore. I did long hair a lot in baseball offseason's when I was in high school. So you could say I have been doing it since about the end of 2005. I feel as if it is time for change. Change which I am willing to face on one side mentally, but the other I can't bring my self up to do. It is really weird. Once again, I don't have a band that will criticize whatever move I make ascetically. One other reason I am looking for a punk band is because I wanna go short. It will be weird. I think it will be fine though.
I just now decided after reading some ads to just see if I can form my own band from scratch. That might be the best way to do it right now. In a way I will get some control of the band, but I really don't like being that controlling with things. It seemed like I was with the other band I was in because, well, no one stepped up to the podium to help take charge. I have a dozen or so possible band names. There are two of those that have really got my attention. Of course they would go well with a po-nk band.
Now this was something I found funny tonight that my brother did. He took it upon himself to comment on both Ripp Tyde's myspace page, and facebook page. He doesn't like how the guys in the band have handled it thus far. I personally don't thin it's everyone in the band. I have my stiff beliefs who is really doing all the tampering, and speaking. Then you got this from one of the people I am friend with, and saw me play with them. He said this, "it's pretty sad if 4 other guys 18 and over cannot raise $200." Mind you this, he is in high school. I think he's gonna be a junior. I found that funny.
I may or may not have some new lyrics tomorrow. I wrote a chorus the other day, but haven't done anything else with it yet. It's going to be interesting. I have a title for it already "Public Reception." I still have to actually write it, the title might change. We'll see what happens. I'm out for the night-SS
