Jesse Lacey Is The Man

The show was amazing.

I took a lot of pictures and videos..

I got to Seattle by 1:30. Sarah and I got to the venue around 2:00 and noticed no one was there. so we parked down the road and went walking. Then we (sorta) got lost. and by the time I got back there it was 4:40. and there was ten people in line ( :( ) AND it seemed as if every single on of them had friends who needed to cut. I was worried I wouldn't get front row. Luckily I got front row to the very left of the stage (whihc is a GREAT spot.) I had enough space to turn around and sit on stage and watch whenever I wanted during the show. So unlike most the kids, I didn't have to stand the entire time. :)

PICTURESSSSSSSSSS














Brian Bonz was amazing. I wasn't surprised. I mean there must be a reason he was chosen to tour with jesse and kevin, right?

Kevin Devine came on early and played with Brian a little. I freaked out on the inside when I saw him. Not gonna lie about it. hahah. Then when it was Kevins time, he played a lot of awesome songs. Including Just Stay :)



I'm so happy he played it. I love that song.

Jesses' set was also fantastic. He even played a new song



and he played a lot of old songs too. :)

(it has been taking me FOREVER to post videos. Its like an hour per video. hahah












The entire show was great. Once Jesse was over, I went to the merch area to meet Kevin. I was worried about going up because I had given all my money to Sarah earlier, so I had nothing to buy. I went up to him and said something like "hi, is it ok that I'm over here? I don't have money to buy anything, I just wanted to get you to sign this and to say hi.." He said it was fine and he appreciated me coming over. or something like that. Then I told him how glad I was he played Just Stay cause I really wanted to see him play that live. Well he said something like that's good because you got to see it then.. So then Sarah and I left the venue, went outside and went to the side of the venue to see if anyone was waiting out by the back door and the van. NO ONE WAS. so I figured Jesse had already left.. so we started walking to the car, and I said something like "I can't believe I didn't meet Jesse.. I really wanted to meet him" then sarah said we could go back and wait just in case. because if he is still there I could meet him.

We turned around and went back and waited by the dumpsters, the van, and the backdoor. Jesse came out about 20 minutes later. but he was busy doing stuff, so I didn't say anything. while waiting we met this other girl (the only other person waiting) and she told me that he was gonna tell her the set times after the show..

So while jesse was loading stuff into the car and whatnot, we just stood there and stared. We didn't want to interupt him. haha. Then, he went back inside. and he stayed there for like 30 minutes. We were both really upset we hadn't said something while he was out, and said next time we're saying something even if he looks busy. So he came back out.. Those thirty minutes felt so long. and he was talking to Brian and Kevin and a few other people because they were planning on hurrying to a movie theater to see the batman movie that starts at 12. me and the girl (her name is myra) went up to him. I asked him to sign my ticket. He did. then I asked him if there was a name for the new song he played. He told me that it isn't exactly a song, but more of an idea, and that it doesn't have a name. Then Myra was explaining to jesse and the guys that parking would be a total bitch and it'd probably be impossible.. after that myra said to jesse that it was great to see him and she'd see him tomorrow (lucky), and she gave him a hug (she kept telling me she didn't want to leave until she got a hug), then I said the show was great and it was nice meeting him and then I hugged him too. Then I left.

Wahoo.

I left so much stuff out.

Like losing sarahs car, and getting sun screen, and driving myra home.

I just don't want to have to type all of it.

anyways, the show was AMAZING.

Two Days

On July 17th, 2008 I will be heading on out to good ol' Seattle to see one of the greatest men ever born. A man who knows that Mics are for singing, NOT swinging. A man that will stay 18 forever. A man who kills me with his voice. A man who I steal lines from constantly (see my blogs' page title). A man that I'd die for in an instant.

Who is this man that I speak so highly of?

JESSE FREAKING LACEY, Duh!



This is one person that I will not hate even if he is in fact, a total ass. I hear that he does not like to sign things, or take pictures, but I'm gonna try to get something out of him anyway. haha if he says no though, I'm not gonna keep asking. That's just tacky, and desperate.

I'm so excited for this. Never in my life did I think I'd get a chance to meet him, and now I will.. AWESOME!


Also, Kevin Devine is gonna be at the show. (It's a Jesse Lacey/Kevin Devine tour) I really like this guy, too. Just not like I like Jesse. haha
I've recently started to fall hard for his music. It is pretty great stuff. My current favorite of his would have to be "Just Stay." And if he doesn't play it at the show, that may be the exact opposite of what I'll be doing.

....Kidding


This show is going to be amazing. I'm sure I'll blog about the show after it happens. So stay tuned, k? :)

Almost halfway there

By the end of this quarter, I will have 39 of my 90 required credits needed to get my AA Degree. I'm pretty stoked. Partly because I'm still in high school and not even 18 yet. At the same time, though, it kinda bums me out. I could've already had all my 90 credits if I hadn't been so lazy during the past two years. Starting Fall quarter I'm going to start full time college instead of part time. Meaning I should have my AA by this time next year, unless I flunk out of school, or die, or anything like that.

Oh the possibilities..

My weeks are so repetitive

which is why I usually don't blog.

Who wants to read the same thing over and over again? Not me.

This week was different. There have been a few strange and very random things to happen, which makes this week different from all the other ones in my opinion. So I think I'm gonna actually blog about them..

About a week ago my I decided I should start taking my dogs for walks again because I'm approaching obesity and I need to prevent that from happening. While me and the home dogs were walking back home the other day, a bunny ran ahead of us and dove into the bushes.. It was cute. I want a bunny..

Then yesterday while walking the dogs again, I was in a great mood, and I kept singing along to the songs on my ipod without worrying of someone else walking by hearing me, I also kept randomly hopping, skipping, etc... it seemed like every time I would do something stupid I'd turn around and see a car behind me.. Perfect timing, right? Whenever I wasn't doing anything that made me look like I was retarded there would be no cars, go figure.

Today when I got on a bus, a man or woman (not sure which one of them actually did it) accidentally spilled a can of beer all over the floor, it reeked! It filled the entire bus with the stench of cheap beer. They cleaned it up as much as they could with napkins, but all it really did was prevent my shoes from soaking up the beer.. The smell was still as strong as it was when it first spilled. I was certain that I would have the distinct smell of beer on me for the rest of the day. Luckily I didn't.. At the time, I was tempted to pour my vitamin water on the ground to counteract the nasty smell.. It's simple math really; if you mix a very good smell with a very bad smell odds are you'll get a neutral smell.. I didn't want to waste my yummy beverage though, so I just dealt with the smell for an hour or so until I got to school..

My computer broke at most a week ago.. It just wouldn't turn on, no matter what I did, but for some reason I didn't get all upset like I usually do. I knew it would come back to me eventually, it's done what it was doing a few times before and eventually it'd work fine for me again.. I figured out why today.. I was starting to get fed up with waiting for it to heal itself, so I took it apart and while observing its' intestines I noticed there was an unbearable amount of dust in it, so I cleaned out as much of it as I could, then decided to go plug it in and see what would happen.. It turned on! I did that a few months ago too when it had this problem, but I didn't think it was actually me who fixed it, I figured it was good timing or something.. But I guess I did fix it last time. Awesome.

Well, while my computer was down, and since Candis had a falling out with the family, I took it upon myself to claim ownership over her computer since she obviously wasn't here to properly turn the power on, and put it in hibernate mode, and browse the internet and all that junk.. A computer has needs. Without these things there's no possible way for them to survive. I think what I was doing for her was a favor, I wasn't just taking advantage of her being gone.. I found out today that she's actually coming back home tonight at 10, which had me a bit frightened cause then I'd be down another computer and I'd have no one elses to take (care of). That news is actually what motivated me to take apart my computer. Hallelujah.

Candis's computer wasn't the only thing I claimed this week. Daniel left about four days ago and he doesn't return until the 10th, he went on a road trip to CA with his buddies since he leaves in a week or two for the National Guard. I took his bed cause I can't stand sharing a room with Trent, he's the smelliest kid in the world, I tell you.. It kills me. I can barely breathe when he's in the same room as me.. He has gas issues and sweating issues and bathing issues.. It's horrible, you should feel bad for me, it really does kill me. At about 11 or so a few nights ago, I walked in my room (which is also trents room if you didn't get that the first time..) and I nearly screamed. It smelled HORRIBLE (worse than the bus this morning.. way worse) I held my breathe while I was in there and decided there was no way I was gonna deal with this all night while there was a perfectly good bed and television just outside my room that I could take..So I grabbed my blanket, stuffed animal, and pillow and put them on Daniels bed, and that has where I have slept for the past two nights. I will be sleeping there until Daniel returns.. Truth be told, I can barely wait until he's gone.. I am taking his bed and television and whatever else I want.. Of course I hope nothing bad happens while he's serving in the NG, I just hope he does his time there and doesn't come home within the next year, it's peaceful with him gone.. now all we need to do is give Candis the boot and things should be divine around here.. Less fighting between the guardians, less sibling rivalry, less people to take up space in the house. It has been great this week since Candis and Daniel have both been gone at the same time, that kind of thing never, and I mean NEVER happens.. It breaks my little heart to know that they'll both be back in a few days. They are the main conflict in the house.


ha. Great week.
