Currently Listening : The Click 5 - Flipside
This year will not not not be a repeat of last year. Never again will I deal with people who beat around the bush and frustrates me to no end. No.
I just want everything to work out.
I just want my wishes to come true.
I just really want a good senior year.

Situation
Currently Listening : Yellowcard - Back Home
I know and can fully state that I am obsessed with going to shows. I love way too many bands and they come way too often. The Secret Handshake, for example, is coming 2 more times before the year is up...that will total him coming here FIVE times. And yes, I will be in attendance for all of those. But should I go. Am I just going for the numbers and bragging rights? Do I honestly like seeing Luis live? Yes, of course I do! So we are settled on that.
But then there's other, newer bands that I have yet to see. Metro Station is coming with Valencia. I have seen Valencia, enjoy them live, and would enjoy seeing them again. Metro Station is new, and I want to check them out live as well. Will I have the chance to see them some other time, and save my money now when I need it? More than likely yes. But if I go, I can buy their cd, fall in love, and then always want to see them when they come, losing me more money. Such a vicious circle, I know.
So the question remains. Which shows do I skip now, and which do I go to? Most are under $20, which is both a pro and a con.
Pro: It's cheap, obviously.
Con: since it is cheap, I have more of an eager and willingness to spend the money on attending.
Let's say for instance I go to the Saosin show. It's $14, which for an avid show attendee, is a very fair price to see them at Fuel. But you have to look at it from this angle in my situation -- sure, it's only $14, but I also have to pay for Vik, making it $28 + tax, service fees, etc. Which really really really makes me less willing to purchase the tickets.
These are the shows for the next 2 months that have me all mind boggled:
Sept. 05 - The Used $27
Sept. 12 - Secret Handshake $8
Sept. 15 - Valencia $10
Oct. 06 - Boys Like Girls $14
Oct. 16 - The Academy Is... $20
Oct. 20 - Saosin $14
Oct. 24 - Silverstein $15
(bolded are the ones I have tickets to)
I'm basically set on The Secret Hanshake and Saosin. It's the other 3 that I really don't know if I should go to. God knows if Silverstein will ever come back to Fuel. Boys Like Girls have some twice before, so why not. I'm just honestly fed up with them. Their music, sure, it's great, but it isn't gonna last. And them, as people, have become the biggest bunch of losers ever. It's so sad to se how short of a time they lasted. Now the Valencia show. As I said, they aren't one of my "favourites," but a show is a show, and I would like to go. I guess that'll be on of those "at the door" things that day, depending on how much money I have at the time.
I don't know why I wasted my time typing all this becasue I know it's still gonna be in my mind 24/7, and I'm still broke, so whatever. I wish we could win the lotterey or something.
Facts:
I AM WAY TOO BROKE.
I GO TO WAY TOO MANY SHOWS.

RIP Summer 2007
Currently Listening : Quietdrive - Both Ways
Summer will be over in 6 days. On Monday I'll be a senior. Times flies and it scares the poo out of me.
I guess a lot has been going on. I think I have a new liking interest. (I don't even know what I just made up with those words, but yeah whatever.). And oh yeah, I SAW MY BEST FRIEND IN THE ENTIRE WORLD. Last Friday, August 10th, we drove down 2 hours to Orlando just to see Ymijan for 90 minutes. It was amazing. I love my best friend like no one knows. That took 631 days.
On the 9th, TBS decided to play a show here, and THANK GOD, because it was by far the best show I have ever ever ever been to. I love Cove Reber, Matt Rubano, and Adam Lazzara so much. Highlight : Adam covering The Killers, acoustic. So sweet brah.
I really don't know what else. I am broke broke broke and I guess I hope school goes good and blah blah blah. Whatever I'm basically happy with life atm.
Facts :
Still not enough hours at Jamba. $111 check today, pathetic.
I like Zac Eforn in 2004, and you most certainly did not.
I need to go see Bourne Ultimatum.
Matt Rubano has a sexy bod.
