so...........it's 2004. hopefully no one got arrested or sodomized in the drunken frenzy of last nite. unless of course...you wanted to be sodomized.
last year i had much more to write about, seein as we did the show with misery theory that kick-ed the ass and such. this year was pretty good too. so that's two in a row. weet.
last nite a bunch of us (me, dave, laura, leah, jon, cynthia, cynthia's dude i never formally met but shared ashtrays with, and phil aka cooter) went out to b-dubs to see the dooks of bastard and MANTIS.
i must say.....dooks of bastard = greatest band in the whole damn town. and i mean that. haha..
MANTIS kicked ass though. if i had balls, they would have been thouroughly rocked. in all honesty though, it's good to see musicians up there smiling and having a good time. i've really had enough of the muncie metal scene lately....the endless amounts of cheese enveloping every performance....people who act like metal is the only genre of music that matters who show up and strut around like it's still 1985... fuck that. i love metal just as much as anyone else, but i also love a whole bunch of other kinds of music. and it's cool to see a band embracing a little bit more of the rock and roll side of things and just having a good time...smiling, acting silly, lindell wakling over to the bar and ordering a drink while still playing the entire song.........fun times.
i guess there was a lot of drama that ensued after the show, but dave and i weren't there to catch a whiff of it since we took off for my former residence...the beechwood abode...current residence of amanda (former guitarist), chris (former nice-guy), and delilah (current cutie-frickin-pie). delilah was at chris's mum's, so the old beechwood crowd once again gathered in the living room for yet another new year's eve spent indulging in drunken debauchery.
it brought back many memories.
especially when chris dumped an entire ashtray onto the carpet.
i got to meet aubrey's new matt......yes kids there is another matt, there are just too damn many of them.
matt and jason = two names that should be obliterated from the face of the planet. THERE ARE PLENTY ALREADY. STOP NAMING YOUR KIDS MATT AND JASON.
ahem...
aubrey's matt seemed like a really sweet kid and i got a good first impression of him. i mean he didn't really talk much (but who can get a word in edgewise with all of us in a room together), but i got this nice, sweet vibe off of him. you know, the nice-waves emanating from the kid. yeah, like that.
and all i can say is.....he had better be nice to our aubrey, or else strange and disgusting things just might happen to his genitalia. i know mere and tamara will back me up on this.....BE WARNED, NEW MATT!!
but he really was nice. heheheh.
so yeah....hung out at the beechwood house for an hour or so....(tami thanks for the late christmas gifts...they rocked), then went home and busted out the alcohol..........
.......................and watched dick clark.
i know, i know....booooooo-rring.
but it was good. when the ball dropped and 2004 made its appearance, we were sitting in the big, fluffy, comfortable chair together, and we did the traditional midnite-kiss. our first new year's together. well, last year we were in the same place on new year's, but i was with someone else. heheh.
but it was nice......to just be together and start this year together. and to have all the rest of them for the rest of our lives.
yeah.
now if you'll excuse me for interrupting this sappy moment....i have to pee.
