I am enjoying this a little too much.

Well…..what can I say……it is summer…..and all I have been doing is drinking and wasting my time. I can’t write a song worth a damn to me. But I can write about my life on this blog. Because my words aren’t poetic or sophisticated. They are simple and to the point. Sometimes they are way too simple that they become cliche and boring. I can play a guitar and a piano and a drum kit and sing but I can’t for the life of me write a god damn song. And I can’t find anyone to help me with that matter.

museummouth:

Our good friend Ash Crowe shot this beautiful video of us playing a new song called “Sacred” at DTFH Fest III in Durham this past weekend. It was our next to last song so by this time I personally was panting and it’s hard to sing a falsetto chorus when you’re panting… and can’t sing falsetto lol. Also, Kory got groped and grinded on by a guy named Ricky during the first verse which conveniently happens off camera but can be heard in his bass playing. Basically, if this video didn’t look so pretty we wouldn’t have even posted about it hahahaha there are also some really sick pictures of us if you click here and scroll right.

THANK YOU ASH CROWE!!!!!!!

I’m in love with Karl and Kory and Graham. I can’t wait to see them at The Mattress Fort!!!

Tom Patterson of Slingshot Dakota is a beast! Also the sweetest man you’ll ever meet

Just look into Tom’s eyes and let him eat your soul.

I love this band and I especially love how much fun the drummer is having when he is beating the shit out of his set. I hope to be like that.

The first time I heard this song, I saw the band live and I was just in love with the vibe of it.

So today was Record Store Day and I went to Nice Price Books where my friend Marc (from the band Ghostt Bllonde) was playing a solo set. It was really nice seeing him play (and messing up a bit) and seeing a bunch of my friends. The only thing that made the day a bit awkward was seeing my ex-girlfriend…….and I knew that she was coming. I was in the mindset of “it’s not gonna be awkward seeing her” and I was doing a good job of keeping myself in that mindset……..until she actually showed up. I genuinely didn’t think it would be weird seeing her. I guess I should have expected that…..after all she did break up with me a little over a week ago. Fuck…….we didn’t even date for that long………I really hope I can get over it. She is a really good person and I don’t like feeling this way. At least I’m going to a party tonight so I can take my mind off of everything.

So I’m single yet again as of last Thursday…….and I should have seen it coming too. Kinda makes me feel like an idiot, but that’s okay. I’ve been strangely fine about it……which I guess is a good thing. I mean, we didn’t date that long so I guess it’s good that things ended when they did…….it could have been a lot worse. She had her reasons to break up with me and I completely understand them. I guess it just sucks that it happened. I’ll be okay though……I’m listening to a song called “I’ll Be Okay” by Allison Weiss as I’m typing this (her new album is really good if you like indie pop punk). Oh, the irony…..but in all seriousness I think I’ll be fine. I’m not ready to be hanging out with her yet, but I think we will be friends later. Right now I just want the summer to get here sooner.
