so although ive pretty much been bedridden due to slight feeling of heart break* since wednesday, things havnt been horrible. I went to my first practice with the band, and for first time practincing we really did fucking awesome. I dont mean to toot my own horn (because im not, i actually could have been more "on" with the band) but we really do sound good together. Its nice and poppy, and i like it....We practiced at this really great rented space down town. It was at this old torn down looking building, where i would have never guessed was a rental space for bands to practice in,but more of a hiding place for bums. Once we began to actually get into it, the paint on the tin ceiling above us started to fall off, thats how old this place was, and how hard we rocked. (gay...) but it did have this awesome vibe.
ok now for the "what the fuck? news" of my life. Last night I decided I wasnt going to go out and drink my self dead and just stay home and read. I made myself a chicken sandwich and some tomato soup, watched a little TV, wrote a paragraph review of the photography installation i saw last week, crawled into bed and started to read. around 3 o clock in the morning i get a call from my friend steve. First question "what are you doing on november 26th?" I said "i dunno probably be in the valley or some shit." thinking he had said december. "Thats gay. Did you know Chuck is going to be in san antonio on the 26th?" he responded. I immediatly thought, maybe i missheard. We cleared it up...and well to make a stupid dialog go along faster and less boring, it concluded on my friend steve giving me the news that him and I would be drinking/hanging out with the man who has made me wake up from my lifes shit moments and view the whole picture, made me more understanding, created this driving force in me to stand up for my beliefs, overall just made me a better human being, Chuck Ragan.(oh btw, my friend steve works as a roadie for most of your favorite pop punk bands! One of them being The Draft (ex- hwm) thats how hes "hooking it up" supposidly...just so i dont sound like im living in make believe land.) i still dont really believe it, but once it sinks in, im going to have to find a way to overcome the feeling of acting like a 15 year old girl meeting her favorite pop star infront of him. what do you say to one of your idols?
in other news, Ill hopefully be able to catch Pattern is music this weekend, because I can finally give them a copy of the music video project i made using their music. hopefully theyll like it. If not then, they can eat shit, im meeting Chuck Ragan. JOKES! hopefully theyll like it.
