Calm down, you'll get your turn!

Okay, so things have been eventful lately to say the least. School started, I got classes, nothing to say there really. School is school. Although, my college English teacher asked if The Lawrence Arms are still together today when he saw my Lawrence Arms shirt. He apparently used to listen to them and other bands from Asian Man Records such as The Broadways (a very close relative to TLA). Interesting. I better get good grades.

My ankle is still killing me. The pain is spreading throughout my heel. That's just wonderful, seeing as how I've finally grown to enjoy running. I really want to be capable of running in Clear Spring next Saturday and for Katie to come 10 miles down the road to watch. That'd be cool, I think. God knows, eh?

Oh, and yes, I did in fact attend a blink-182/Weezer concert last night in Camden, NJ, which is just outside of Philadelphia. Whole bunch of people. Whole lot of money spent getting there and back. Whole lot of money spent on tickets. I'd say the whole trip was probably close to $350. T-shirts were $30 a piece. I, obviously, did not buy one. With all that money I spent, I should have been given a t-shirt. Anyway, here's how the show went: we missed Chester Fench and Taking Back Sunday. Boohoo, we didn't care. We got there just before Weezer went on, though. They came out playing a Black Sabbath song; Pat Wilson on guitar, Josh Freese playing the drums, Rivers Cuomo just singing. Rivers kept saying, "Yessiree, Bob." Then they played some other songs. "Island in the Sun" was particularly cool because it started with Rivers looping drums, tambourine, bass, and acoustic guitar and then singing the first two verses and prechoruses by himself before the entire band came in on the chorus. Very awesome. Here's the set list in the best order I can remember it in.

• Warpigs [Black Sabbath]
  
• Hashpipe
• Troublemaker
• Perfect Situation
• Undone - The Sweater Song
• Pork and Beans
• Surfwax America
• My Name is Jonas
• Island in the Sun
  
• Beverly Hills
• Buddy Holly
• The Good Life
• (If You're Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To
  
• Say It Aint So
• Should I Stay or Should I Go? [The Clash]

Then like blink-182 came out. Like 45 minutes afterward. They were as I expected. Hilarious and...prone to playing singles. But! they played "Reckless Abandon" and "Anthem, Pt. 2" so that was awesome in my book. Oh! and "Josie." I'll give you the set list here in a second. Ummm...they like were making fun of themselves for breaking up and shit. Mark threw down his bass and said, "You know what Tom? Fuck you! You've been nothing but a....a great friend to me!" And then they hugged and everyone cheered because it's great to have them back. Fuck you if you disagree. Travis Barker had a drum solo where his platform spun around in the air and shit and went sideways. Pretty epic.

• Dumpweed
• Feeling This
• Rock Show
  
• I Miss You
• What's My Age Again?
• Down
• First Date
• Obvious
• Man Overboard
  
• Stockholm Syndrome
• Going Away to College
  
• All the Small Things
• Not Now
  
• Always
• Josie
  
• Adam's Song
• Anthem, Pt. 2
• drum solo for beginning of encore
  
• Carousel
• Dammit

Man, that was hard recalling all of that shit. Anyway, that kind of killed my feelings of wanting to blog right there.

Oh, and I don't know if it's official yet, but...ehh, fuck it. I shouldn't go sayin' shit like that without consent of people.

love,
Kyle

Your best friend is not your girlfriend

I mean that in an "It Hurts" kind of way. Any of you Angels & Airwaves fans would know that. Speaking of which, anyone heard the news about the blink-182 reunion? YES! IT'S FUCKING TRUE!

BLINK-182 ARE REUNITING (as presenters at the Grammys)

Yeah, isn't that a horrible case of blue balls? Fuck...but at least they're working together as friends again. They said there's speculation of a reunion, but they have to become stronger as friend and as musicians writing together than ever before before they start up again. In other words, they have to fall in love again before they get married. If blink-182 can get back together, ANYONE can get back together. Jessica and Nick, Benji and Paris, Caleb and Elisha. (hahahaha not funny.) But seriously, this is kind of inspirational if you care...makes me wanna...wanna I don't know. It's awesome, though. I want to have sex to the idea. I just want to have sex, who am I kidding? In a week, it'll mark 17 months of abstinence! Hoo-fucking-ray! *puke*

No, but seriously though, this made me very happy to hear about. Hopefully Mr. DeLonge is finished being a pompous frontman asshole and will start writing music on a plane that people care to listen to. hahaha, I'm funny tonight, I think. Dude, if Tom will start talking to Mark and Travis again then maybe....I'm not going to say it. hahahahahaha, once again, I'm not funny.

I probably shouldn't say certain things outloud, but I can't help to think them and want to verbalize. Posting this blog is probably going to ruin a lot of shit, but I'm laughing at me being an asshole right now so much that I don't care. Okay, Katie, if you're reading this and are saying "The fuck if I ever talk to him again, he's an asshole," then you're probably right, but uhh...I'd be glad to talk to you again anyway. I never realized I could apply an Angels & Airwaves Tom v. Mark/Tom thing to this situation. hahahaha

Okay, I'm digging my own grave at this point. Some positive things that won't get me in trouble! Uhh...this is tough. I haven't had a horrible week! Uhh...I'm feeling really fuckin' good about I Forget's next album. Uhh...I'm playing with a new band tomorrow after school and we're gonna see how we work together as musicians. Uhh..uh! Uhh...will someone make a Wikipedia page for I Forget? I could supply you with all of the information. Even if it said "I Forget is a pop punk band from Fort Ashby, West Virginia." and then listed our members, it'd be fine, I guess. I'd just go in and elaborate, even though that's illegal.

I just brought up a good point to Jordan when talking about I Forget and Freak Scene making it one day, hypothetically. I said that you don't even have to [necessarily] get signed anymore to "make it." Isn't that kind of very fucking awesome? Metric is self-releasing their next album as are many other bands. However, they have more capital than a band such as I Forget, but who said we pay to record? hahahahaha, I didn't say that.

I should stop talking now before I tell you even more classified things, like describing my penis or something else you don't need to know about. My cat is going to destroy this fucking basement.

love,
Kyle
