Sad Heart

Well, I was going to wake up tomorrow to buy tickets for the Foo Fighters Chicago show, but tickets are $75 and a round trip ticket would be $400. Then hotel expenses. A little more than I thought it would be. Given I would have 10 months to save, but seeing I live in one of the cities they recorded / filmed in for the album, I guess it's smart to wait for a show here. Damn.

My Caspian collection laid out a little better:

New song is awesome:

I picked up Kid Is Gone a while ago for cheap and just got Rat off Amazon yesterday. Such a good quality box set. I'm just really surprised that they don't include a download code.

Also, I finally just spun my peach copy. Tiny, tiny warp but doesn't effect the play. Every track sounds great. Interested to see how the black compares.

Also, new Foo song is killer:

I'm not really liking season 7. I wish they would have made season 6 just an episode or two longer and wrapped everything up nicely. I guess Tara dying was just too much to leave hanging. Last nights episode was ok. At least Inbar Lavi is going to make another appearance. I mean...

Well there is/was a Melvins show in LA tonight and JGL and Josh Homme are/were there. My buddy texted me a photo of Homme. I wish I was in LA. : (

BECAUSE HAIL SATAN!

I'm sure the Foos will find a way to make it not suck.

How come these amazing Unwound box sets don't come with download codes? You think for $40 you would get a digital copy. Fuck. I hate when they don't give you the digital with the analog purchase. Come on guys. I need a portable way to listen to it. Duhhhhhh. Just noticed Vasudeva doesn't come with one either. Ugh.

We shall see. I suggested to Philip that it go through Mylene. But I would be down for MS or HH.

I only have about 1/4 of my sense of taste. So I really don't like sugar and by some miracle I can't taste aspertame, so Coke Zero is perfect for me. Dr. Pepper is pretty much the only sugar I consume besides Virgils. They have a lot of Virgils in all the grocery stores here so I drink a fair amount of it. I pretty much live off mexican food and chips and coke zero; amazing, I know. And fucking duh.

I try.

I had to do that recently. 40,000 songs down the drain cause my external drive crashed. Updated to a 3TB and cloud backup. Not taking anymore chances. Haha.

Dr. Pepper or Coke Zero. That's it. Have you had Dr. Virgil's Dr. Better? It's fucking amazing. I was 18 by the time I left. Obviously I was well mannered and all that shit. ; )

I hope the orientation isn't as horrible as mine was. Sitting in the breakroom watching the WORST 'welcome / obey the rules / don't sue us if a stack of pallets falls on you / don't put your finger in your coworkers ass / wash your hands, especially after the former rule / shit'. That shit was like 3 hours long. I think you watch it and that's the whole day.

Get me a Dr. Pepper.

I mean duh.

So apparently my order of the grey never went through. Oh well considering all the negative feedback on the quality. Peach for the collecting and black for the spinning.

Haha no rush. And I prefer the word 'committed'.

Hhahahahah. Ok.

Message me with a complete breakdown of the situation with your macbook, I will relay it to them, and let ya know.

Jared,

Also, as far as this whole high school debate. I don't care how hard your classes are, how heavy the work load is, how tired you are, etc. If you have a roof over your head, and a rent free one at that, food on a plate, and free food at that, you really shouldn't be complaining because you could be a lot worse off. When you get out of school and are faced with real world challenges, you will understand what we mean when we say that high school is easy. Yeah, it's a pretty general statement, and I don't know your life story, but honestly, if you think high school is tough, you're in for a real treat. Your early 20s are especially fun, because holy shit prepare to fall on your ass and probably learn how to pick yourself up for the first time. You are faced with actual challenges, like how to get to impound lot to get your car out because you parked in the wrong area for a night of drinking, to find out you have no money. A little harder than writing a critique about the French Revolution. I'm not typing this to be a dick, but to simply give a little insight. Cause after school, it's all downhill after that, and that's coming from someone who could be a lot worse off. High school is a huge waste of time that gives you no real world experience. You really think you are going to remember or use the quadratic formula on a day to day basis? Fuck no. Are you going to know how to fill out your w2s, figure out how much renters insurance you need, how to budget for all your expenses like food and rent, if you should buy this one record cause you don't know how much money you will have next week. Shit like that sucks. It fucking sucks, but that's life, none of which you learn in school. The whole point of high school is to learn social skills. All of which for me was learning how fucking stupid society is. I'm rambling. Anyway, what I'm trying to say is you really shouldn't take high school so seriously. Don't push yourself to the point of combustion for a fucking French class or to get a mark higher on a Western Civ. quiz. It's all trivial bullshit. High school doesn't measure your full potential, and it sure as hell doesn't measure how well you're going to do in real life, if at all. Take it all in stride. Enjoy your "stressed" high school days, cause you're going to be wishing you were where you are now in just a couple of years. This isn't to scare you or say "boo hoo", but let you know to adjust your outlook. Good luck.
