This was the best birthday I've had in a while. A few friends were supposed to go to a concert with me on Friday but had to bail. This didn't dampen the night at all, though. Ran into someone I have vaguely talked to on Last.fm and wound up hanging out with her the entire time. The crowd was also fucking awesome. It was full...

I kind of feel like a teenager again. Been playing video games more often than usual and even watched anime. Had a lot of fun with Mega Man 10 and am now working through Limbo. It's really nice to see that 2D games aren't totally dead. Then on the other side, I also got the Borderlands DLC.

And for the first time in a long...

Had some much needed fun last night.

Something in me has changed. I can't say what, or why, but I can say that it is a good one. I've been going through a severe depression and have been using music as an escape or distraction. I've gone on road trips to see my favorite band, The Dreaming, only for reality to kick in on the way back. I always have a great...

Been a while since I've done one of these. Might as well talk about my last concert outing. This last Tuesday I went to Club Mardi Gras to see Dismantled. I had been on the fence about going. I was stupidly concerned about how much the crowd would suck. The show was 21+, and the three I had been to here didn't have the best...

I bought an electric guitar some years ago with intentions of teaching myself how to play. I thought that since I taught myself how to ride a bike, roller skate/blade, swim, and type that this shouldn't be a problem. Oh how I proved myself wrong. My guitar quickly became a decoration instead of a hobby. The only thing I ever really learned to play was...

I'm fucking exhausted. I drove my ass off these last three days for the sake of live music. Totally worth it, though. Got to hang out with some friends I haven't seen in a while. Saw my favorite band play with two other bands I like. The drummer of said favorite band even hung out with us after the show and crashed in our hotel...

Alright, I was already pretty fucking excited that I'll be going to California to not only see my favorite band (The Dreaming) but two other favorite bands (Otto's Daughter and The Sammus Theory), but I just found out that members of Ministry are also playing. Shame it's not actually Ministry, but this is still fucking cool.

I saw Skinny Puppy at the Marquee Theatre a few hours ago. I'll admit that I'm not a huge fan of theirs and have to be in the right mood to listen to them, but I am well aware of the influence they have had over what became some of my favorite bands in the nearly 30 years of their existence. I have been wanting...
