So I said I was giving up the boys in bands, the late nights in sleazy bars, the beers....blah blah blah...the fun.
Well.....I've back off for a few weeks. Been depressed as hell. Started thinking...why give it up? That's who I am. I have rock n roll deep within my soul. It makes me happy. Life is all about being happy right?
So...a few nights ago I went to the bar to see a musician friend. He brought along one of his BFFs (that just happens to be in one of the bands that I picked as one of the best records of '08-from a few blog entries ago). I saw him walk in. I needed an ego boost. I didn't want an introduction from our mutual friend...I NEEDED to see if I still had it.
I stood at the opposite end of the room. -I knew I looked good- I saw him look my way. Then I left. I went to another bar to meet up with my drinking buddies and catch The Dexateens show. Midnight...came back alone to the first bar. A bit more crowded. I was there for maybe 20-30 minutes.This guy still hadn't said a word to me. I pushed my way through the crowd. Stood next to him. He bumped into me.He apologized and turned around and walked to the bar. I'm thinking WTF? A few weeks outta the game and I've lost it. DAMN! He came back. He introduced himself to me and started talking. He started hitting on me. WORD! He told me that he had seen me earlier in the evening but then I was gone. We chatted for a few more minutes and I excused myself. That's all I needed. I needed my insecurities met. I needed my ego inflated.
Today's Playlist: (and useless trivia of the day)
Okay, so here's the deal with the playlist today. The songs/artists are in someway linked to one another. Can you guess how? It's actually pretty easy (esp. if you somewhat know the Alabama music scene). Actually they are linked in more ways than one. I just thought of the very simple most obvious (to me) ways they are connected.
1. Meaning to Say - Now It's Overhead
2. Our Addictions - Art in Manila
3. Sleep- Azure Ray
4. Clean Getaway - Maria Taylor
5. Classic Cars - Bright Eyes
6. Central City - Taylor Hollingsworth
7. What Money Means - The Dexateens
8. Sink Hole - Drive By Truckers

and there's nothing at all wrong with going to Cirque alone, but who am i going to talk to the entire 3 hour ride back from atlanta!? after watching a show like that, i'll be flapping my pie hole like there's lead in my jaw. plus i hope to bring some party favors to enhance the experience. i'll NEED someone to talk to or i'll lose my mind lol.
Atlanta
Cirque
Free beers
what could be better? i swear to god i'm not a serial killer!
*edit*
oh and fuck giving up the wild life!! i go through short spans of that myself. especially when i start boozing thrusday, work friday drunk/hung over, sleep 4 hours between friday morning, monday afternoon. all week i think "no more of this shit. i'm 27 years old. i'm not 22 anymore. i can't go on 9 hours of sleep for 5 days."
then i do it again the next week. fuck taking it easy. i'm a rocker man through and though. gimme the booze, the women, and the drugs. gimmie the loud music, the smokey bars, the dirty hangouts. i want to walk in a bar at midnight, and step out at 6am wondering why in the fuck it's day light, and who has my pants?
what good is a body if you don't abuse it?
