easy, getting easier. (you know the rest, a town and you).

okay, where was i? okay, so josh and i are getting tanked until the wee hours. So we get up and josh puts a cold one in my hand within a matter of minutes. The air condition was broken, so the house was a right roaster, but it didn't phase me none. i was happy as a clam to be back in that city that doesn't make me want to die off like this one does, and i was with sweetest bro numero uno as well. So we all are moving waaay slow and josh and i are putting a few back, then josh hits upon the idea to get tanked on the train on the way into the city. The only problem was we all wanted to get full so we wouldn't have to spend money at the show, and we were late as it was. We hopped in my whip and i set out at about 60 down suburb streets hoping we could make it, and not get a ticket. So we get there, order up and we're back on to the train station. We make it with about 4 minutes to spare, and then hop on. We shot some sweet pics, had some good drinks, and some great laughs. My favorite line from that episode was when i had my burrito resting on my lap quite precariously, and i started laughing and it was spilling all over me and i couldn't do anything to help it. So Josh goes to sarah "get it away from him"!! like i was some toddler. So we finish off our adult sodas, have some more laughs, and set off to union park. We walk up and the line was a fucking mile long. Josh takes one look and goes "fuck this, i'm going to get cigarettes", and we didn't see him for about 45 minutes. We got up to the front at which point A.C. Newman was killing it, from what i could tell through a fence. Oh shit, i totally forgot this really funny shit that went on too. On the way into the city we bought a bottle of so co and josh talked me into tucking it into my undies, since he had on boxers. I agreed and stuffed it down on the train while he ran defense and blocked stranger's prying eyes. So then we got on the wrong train, and the whole time this bottle of booze is crammed down there and i'm walking like i have a load in my pants. Once we got inside we made a b line for the port-a-potties and i unloaded that bad boy and took a few tugs for good measure. I left it in there, and josh ducked in to retrieve the prize, and finished it off shortly there after. We wandered around and got more beers (a lot more beers), and checked out the shit they were selling. I wanted to get a good spot for broken social scene, so we dropped anchor and shot the shit for a while until they played. they killed, but we left to get a good spot for the go! team. Now i really, really like the go! team record. a lot. i had really high hopes for them live. And they fucking sucked. The only redeeming moment of the set was when they played my favorite song of the summer so far "everyones a v.i.p. to someone". I almost lost it when i heard that banjo intro, but from there it was horrible. I hate crowd participation. I don't do shit on cue, i don't raise my hands, i hate that shit. To be honest i don't really remember who else played that day. I crashed and got in the worst mood ever. I was tired, ready to pass out, and being shitty to everyone around me. We went to get some pizza, and then watched some dude on a train talk about doing ecstasy, going to prison 3 times, getting his arm cut in a fight, and a threesome he took part in. We got home, and i passed out pretty quickly thereafter. I think i've typed enough for tonight. I will continue this tomorrow. Keep checking back, it only gets better! lots of love, y' all.

now it's harder getting harder.

man, i've been doing tons lately. i'll give you some highlights. I went up to chicago last weekend for the pitchfork intonation fest. Well, partly. Also my friend Josh just moved there, and i wanted to hang out with him as well. So sarah and i went... well wait, let me back up. The night before we went to the constantines show and got super plowed. Really smart thing to do the night before going on a trip and driving for hours and all. either way, before cutting town we got some bagels and i started to feel better. We left late, and sat in traffic once we got into chicago. Since when does rush hour start at 2:00 in the fucking afternoon anyway? Either way, we got into town and had hours to kill until josh was off work, so we went shopping. We went to the american apparel store and got some shit and saw tilly and the wall were shopping in there as well. I spent too much, but didn't worry about it, since we don't have that store here. After that we met josh and ate burritos and wandered around michigan ave. Then we hit some bars and got lost for what seemed like a long time, but i bet it wasn't that long at all, really. We went to some bar where everyone on the second floor had v.i.p passes to the show , but i didn't know who any of them where, and i was drunk anyway. We then went back to joshes and he and i continued drinking until 4 AM (he did say that earlier in the night, so i guess he called it that time). My computer is going slow due to importing some new jams, so i will continue this tomorrow, until then. X and the O.

days been filled, boy.

it's that time again, you know. Oh my, these days are packed. i haven't been working as much, but i've been super busy goofing off and keeping it real. Did all of you have a good fourth of our current month? mine was out of hand. You know how every time you're around me ever and i go "alright, i'm gonna take it easy tonight"? Then you see me two hours covered in sweat, wearing 1/3 of the clothes i showed in, eyes glazed, slurring, etc., etc. It was one of those. Only to spice things up i thought it would be a good idea to do it at Sarah's graduation party (at her parent's house). I know, good thinking, right? at any rate, i drank way way too much, didn't eat anything, and well the rest can be left up to your imagination. Ugh. moron. it was good for me though, i've been slowing down on the whole "killing myself with alcohol" thing i was hip to for a while. Not spotless, but a little more pure. a little more clean. Any way, i wanted to this to be a big sprawling update, but that will have to wait. I have to clean up before i get out of town, and i have a movie to watch. have a fun wed? (i think it's wednesday at least)
