Thats right, I am not entirely on my own. I pay my own rent, car insurance, school fees, the whole shebang. It&#8217;s a little scary sometimes. I worry that I am going to get arrested and not be able to be bailed out, or go to the hospital and nobody be there, but I guess one has to fly from the nest sooner or later.<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">My band is playing again. We just played our first show in 5 months, and it was great. Had a huge singalong when we did our &#8220;Knowledge&#8221; cover. It was fun. A good 100 people were there. Awesome.<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">I have a girl who I have been seeing for more than a week for the first time in about a year. So thats cool. Her name is Ali, and she is significantly sexier than me.<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">Next week the ataris are playing a show at the santa barbara bowl with 311 and Lit. It should be fun. I have backstage through Kid (obviously). I have been joking with him everytime I see him that they should play &#8220;The Radio Still Sucks..&#8221; and for those who don&#8217;t know, the opening line is: &#8220;I&#8217;m so fucking sick, of Beck and 311&#8221;<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">muhahaha.<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">Speaking of Kid, and the Ataris, Down on Haley closed last week. It was sad, they had to give away all their merch. So I now have every Ataris shirt ever made. So yeah, Down on Haley is no more.<br \/>\nAlso, about a month ago Sugarcult played a show on a boat called the Condor Express. It was fun. It was very VIP deal, So I called Marco and he put me on the band list. I am not that into Sugarcult, but they are fun guys and it was cool getting wasted on a boat watching a band.<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">More rockstar news, when I went to the lostprophets show in LA, not only did I meet all the Lostprophets (AGAIN) I also met Billy, and the fat bass player (whatever the fuck his name is) from Good Charlotte. Billy was cool. We talked about AFI for like an hour.<br \/>\nI also met Tom Morello from Rage Against The Machine and Audioslave there, which was the first time I have been starstruck in a long time. I was a geeky fan boy for a while.<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">Looking forward to the Warped Tour this year. I should have backstage passes, so I get to meet everyone. Can&#8217;t wait to meet Bad Religion and NOFX, thats going to be the highlight of the day&#8230;and hitting on Agent M from Tsunami Bomb&#8230;heheh.<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">Oh, and the drummer from Godsmack came into the store today. Can&#8217;t remember his name, but he was very nice.<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">Well, I have another 2 hours at work, but its time for a cigarette now. I have slacked off long enough. Its nice being the assistant manager. Slacking off is essentially your job.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey, I am alive.
