fuuuuuuuuuck

so my cell phone is out of commission. not that anyone who reads this is planning on calling me anytime soon. email please.

thanksgiving.

so traditionally i would be in richmond, at my mom and dads house for thanksgiving. hanging out with family. seeing how im 1200 miles away from that house, not this year.

we slept until 2 in the afternoon. we made breakfast. she made pancakes and i made the omelets. i had bacon, she doesnt like pork. for the first time ever, i even bought milk. after that not much happened for a while. some video games, shower. off to see madagascar 2. it was good. once that was done i hung out with her friends for the first time. i got HAMMERED. i got in a tangerine fight and did a cartwheel mooned people on the internet. came home, showered all the citrus off of me and passed out in the bed before the title scene of anchorman was over. and apparently i snore. loud and lots.

bye bye.

Live music

I don't like crowds. I don't like concerts (odd I know) and I don't like long drives. But I like jennifer. So I am here in st louis seeing jason mraz because im a good boyfriend. It sucks. It sounds like ass. His words are unintelligible. You can watch some of the band members play and not even hear them thru the PA. Its a joke. There is video projection but its out of focus. Its as if a whole team of production guys decided to see how little they could do while their boss stood still on stage singing way way way too many covers. I am not having fun. On top of it all.... Im paying for the hotel room.

Right now.... I left her with a friend and im at the bar in the venue lobby watching the news waiting for it all to end.

a few days off

so a guy can only take but so many days off at a time..... before someone calls and screws it all up. actually, this was not bad at all. i knew about it beforehand. we did a show tonite. short, acoustic. it was a charity thing. for some thing. or another.

other than that, the past 4 days have been amazing. i have slept late. i have played video games, watched movies, adored my television. been cute. i finally have curtains for every room in the apartment. i have repaired the lady's laptop power supply. i have purchased a couple DVDs (first since about august)and i got a new remote for my entertainment system. while the old gigantic touch screen one was awesome, it was time for a change. i got one that is specially designed for people who use their xbox as the key ingredient to their media filled world. THATS ME!!!!

the last few days of the tour were fun, and fast. we played lots of pranks and did 3 shows in a row in southern california (my least favourite part of the country so far). all of them were house of blues which makes things easier but they were still socal. the second to last show went up in smoke.... literally. the state was on fire. when you went outside the sky was a huge cloud of smoke and it was raining ashes. it tasted like campfire. suck.

i did get to see weird al again. gas is $1.59 in tulsa.

ok, so whatever. im home. enjoying the quiet. enjoying my girl. enjoying xbox. enjoying all the freaking beer i bought along the way. life is good..... for now.

the big sigh

i am home and i am looking at my new tv. details to come. its good to hold her knowing that im not walking out in like 15 minutes for 2 weeks.

Sweet 16

Happy birthday quillen. I love you.

last day off

so we had three days off in a row. two were spent traveling. the last was spent in San Francisco. I DID NOTHING!!! we got in at about 1pm and i sat and clicked on the internet for about 3 hours and then went to a late lunch. awesome chinese food. of course, everything in the part of town is asian, even the roadsigns, so it had to be good. after that i clicked on the internet more and then laid in bed watching tv until i passed out at like, 2am.

get this,
show
day off
show
show
show
travel home.

home life will be good, home paycheck will suck balls.

the past few days

first things first. i had to buy a new xbox today. i didnt want to, but the old one was just conking out. it wouldnt play games anymore. damn it. 215 bucks.

i got to go home. i got to spend a day with jennifer. i got home from des moines at like 10am and i crawled into bed and we didnt wake up til 2pm. after that we had lunch, picked up all my extra shit from the bus, had a drink, did laundry. hung out at my place until i had to leave tulsa (2am). it was only really about 16 hours at home.

laundry, funny story (i hope she thinks its a funny story). i put my clothes in the washer and then we just hung out waiting for them to dry. once they were done, she got up to go put them in the dryer. she came pack with a pair of womens underwear and tossed them at me "what are these?". wow, talk about bad luck. it seems as if i picked the one washing machine that wasnt totally cleaned out. thankfully she believes me though she still picks on me.

the tour is almost over. only 4 shows left. when i get home i will buy a new tv and then think about what i am going to be doing for work until we decide to take this show on the road again. the good part, ill be able to see the reason im always so happy on a daily basis again. im very ready for that part.

so its late. or really really early. however you want to see the glass. i woke up at about 3:30am and kinda just looked into the dark for a while. it wasnt until about an hour later (ten minutes ago) that i finally gave in and woke up. i have tv this morning and my alarm is set for 5:15am. i think the fear of not waking up... woke me up. that happens most of the time.

so i rented a car, drove down to three floyds. guess what... you cant buy beer to go on sundays in indiana. i was really really upset. the bartender did tell me that there is a beer store in chicago that sells it now. a year ago you couldnt get it anywhere. so i rented the car for nothing. but i did find the beer. holy shit did i find the beer. i bought a case of what i wanted and then some. maybe i spent a little too much money, who cares right? it makes me happy and thats all that matters.

once i got back to my hotel i went out by myself and had a few hot dogs. sometimes you just wanna hang out alone. living in a bus with 9 other people 24/7 will do that to you. especially when youre used to living alone. i did however spend a bit of time looking at a very beautiful young lady via the internet. i had not seen her face in quite a few days. that was long overdue. by the way little girl, thanks for the new folder. see you in three.

today is my day

i got lucky, we got to our destination a day early and BAM! i am going to get beer. Three Floyds. YES!! i have to rent a car to get there, but its totally worth it. thankfully i get to send the stockpile to my apartment on thursday. i really think that the giant box of beer in my bunk is hindering my ability to sleep.

as it plays on the hotel tv in the background... i am glad that i never purchased Happy Feet.
