my earlier blog was a bit of a downer, so here's a little something with more pep.
finally got out of the apt. after feeling sorry for myself all day being that tomorrow is V-day. went out to dinner, browsed around a couple stores, bought a new game, and then got up with a couple friends about what was going on tonight. ended up at the tipsy teapot after hanging out with my friend jett for a couple hours. we talked about music, comics, and movies most of the time. he has this fantastic old box of 45's that used to belong to his mother ( she died when he was very young). i'm talking really good stuff like sly and the family stone, the beatles, the mama's and the papa's, and credence clearwater revival. hearing all that on a vinyl album brought back so many memories of being a kid and listening to records to pass the time. and then he's got stack upon stack of comic books that he's trying to catch up on so it was interesting to browse through and catch up on stuff that i've missed for a while.
then it was off to the tipsy teapot. we only caught the last two bands playing but they were great. tonight it was pepi ginsberg and ear pwr. both rocked the house though with completely different sounds. i'm picking up quite a few favorite new bands hanging out at there. i'm also starting to really enjoy the feeling of the crowd when the music is pumping and everyone is bouncing along. it's the kind of thing that i used to avoid but now i'm learning to revel in.
after that we ended up out at the pub with what seemed like about 75% of the people from the teapot. it was awesome to see that the songs i picked on the jukebox seemed to be crowd favorites as most of the people either ended up dancing or singing along.
and then it was time to go home. so here i am. a little drunk and very happy with the night i've had. i've felt a little lonely for the past few days, but now i know that i have plenty of good friends to help me get over everything that's happened in the past 2 months. forward is the only direction.
