…now what?

after all this procrastination, what can i say to make it up to my throngs of fans? JACK SHIT. i’ve let you down, but most importantly, i’ve let myself down. some day, maybe i can forgive myself.

- i watched this documentary a few weeks ago. it’s one of the best doc’s i’ve ever seen. i might try to re-watch it this weekend…you can stream the whole thing here, thanks to Mr. Google.

- this one chick, she really rules. (i had to put this as bullet-point #2, so she doesn’t get a more inflated self-esteem. but really, she rules.

- a few months ago, i did another tour with Harm’s Way. it was really great to experience some of this magnificent country that i had never had the opportunity to see. USA! USA! (also, Harm’s Way has a new 7″ coming out that fucking RIPS. i realize that’s a very “California circa-1987″ sort of thing to say, but really. it’s totally bitchin’ )

- dexter season 4 was fucked up. like, GOOD fucked up. TRINITY-KILLER, HOLY SHIT.

- i’ve recently remembered how much i love E-Town Concrete (especially the album The Second Coming). in high school, that record was on serious rotation.

E-Town Concrete – Stranglehold

- also, surprisingly found myself a fan of Elliott Smith recently. kinda weird that i like this sad-bastard music, but it works

- i can’t wait for the spring. beyond ready for some bike riding and cubs-watchin

- the new PIECE BY PIECE record is a little disappointing

- i miss conan o’brien

MORE: LATER

here’s what’s new:

- another year older, another year closer to death. i think my next birthday will be worse, where i’ll be left with the final year of my 20’s

- my new place has really come together. really enjoying my new ‘hood. wood blinds being installed on the 21st. i’m such an old man. my younger self would be ashamed

- hoping things work out with this lady friend of mine

- went on a 5 day mini tour with Harms Way, who were in support of Rise and Fall. R&F are some of the coolest guys i’ve ever met. too bad they live in belgium, cause we all had a fucking blast. their new record shreds! so nice to hear a unique take on hardcore. it has some elements of pure rock in it, but doesn’t come off gimmicky or cheesey. also, good bro-sessions with the HW dudes. couldn’t have thought of a better way to spend my birthday

- fall is here, and in full effect. hugely looking forward to thanksgiving, but not looking forward to the chaos of christmas

- i’d do just about anything to be able to own & care for a dog

- been playing a healthy amount of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 since tuesday

- recently downloaded a “Demos & Live: 1988-1990″ Judge record. so raw, so good

Have Heart – RIP

FOUNDATION

fuck, FOUNDATION is so good. atlanta straight edge hardcore like i’ve never known.

fuck it

I’m frustrated by my own lack of updates. Here’s what happened:

Burning Fight

The show was unspeakably good. One of the most powerful events of my life. If that’s cheeseball or not, I don’t care.
I had intentions of doing some sort of review of the event. My realization that words will do it no justice kept me from even attempting. Kind of a lame reason, but I just don’t want to sell it so short. I haven’t done any other updates because I wanted to force myself to do the BF review.

I’d still like to say SOMETHING about it, just not sure what. I’m still reliving the fest, and trying to digest how / why it’s had such an impact, and what I want to do with that focus and emotion.

That’s all I have for now.

Unbroken.

Burning Fight…

Look, Burning Fight was exhaustingly amazing. I’m still digesting it all…Such a mix of emotions. More on that later, when I can sort through my head.
