if life were peaches and cream
going off of the heading... if only it truely was. this past week has been a bitch. lets just say i love my family but i definitely need time away from them before i torture them ever so slowly then drop them to the bottom of lake geneva. of course im totally kidding... or am i?? muahahahaa.. so anyways my parents and i had a HUGE arguement yesterday about how i dont do anything. id like to inform them of the fact that i am indirectly raising my brother and taking care of my own house basically on my own. and i also have a method to my madness in the house.backing up to the arguement apparently nothing got done around the house in the past week... mhmm lets anaylze this.. i worked monday night then went home to Illinois only minutes after being off and my parents left sunday night.. and we just got home late friday night.. hmm doesnt leave much time for things to get done at all. so then while we're at home for the day and a half we're expected to clean the house. now i say fuck that. i have not been home to Illinois since the beginning of MAY! i'm not going to clean everyone else's shit unless im gettin fuckin paid! so then sunday i'm just chillin watchin tv with my mom and my dad starts gettin pissed about how nothing is getting done. my mom starts yellin at me out of nowhere. and my brother runs upstairs upset. here i am in the middle of the second vietnam war. no reason for the bickering and totally random. i think this family needs a life supply of prozac or something. so i listen to both my parents bitch they get pissed and leave slamming doors and swearing like a fuckin sailor. so then i start things.. i totally see why i have self esteem issues. it all stems from my parents telling me that whatever i do its not good enough. so what i have to say to them is FUCK YOU. fuck it .. im done with this bs with them. anyone have a place where i can live until i can move into my dorm? i need to get the fuck out of here. or maybe i just need to get drunk... really drunk.

ouch!
so i've come to the conclusion that i am a klutz. hardcore. not that i didnt know that to begin with but this just proves that i am. i walked into the couch. and its not hard to miss by all means. its like WHAM right there! well i totally walked into it and it hurt. thinkin that i just stubbed my toe. wow ..not! the couch broke my frickin toe!! like no joke. my baby toe on my right foot is about half the size of my big toe. i do have pudgy toes but this is like hardcore swollen and black and blue... OWWWIEEEEE!!!!

a new beginning
something happend to me this weekend that ..i cant even put it in to the right words... scared me, put me at ease... brought me to tears. i dont know what it was but ever since then i havnt been the same. i went to church with trinity. and i was very hesitant to go since her's is non dominational and im catholic. everything that i was taught as i grew up in a catholic school and a catholic up bringing was different.... now not entirely different i guess just the way church is. recieving communion is different, praying is different and the singing/worshipping is different. i felt entirely out of place. not knowing anyone but who i was with and not knowing what to expect. i dont know what happended but as i was singing one of the songs this great feeling of emotion just washed over me. i felt weak and i was shaking. it brought me to tears and thankfully there was a chair in front of me because i surely would have collasped if it wasnt there for me to hold on to. but even if i wanted to fall or sit i couldnt have. i have NEVER had a feeling like this. im puzzled still but i really think that i was touched by God on sunday. i truely believe it. some may think its crazy but i cant explain why i would have felt like that. i believe in God more than ever now and am trying to make my life better. so with that... im goin into a transformation stage. i dont know what's going to happen i guess we'll just have to see.

rockin in the rain
so its time for an actual blog by yours truely... no videos for stupid people just amazing music... so it all started one tuesday afternoon in july... july 3rd to be exact. and my brother and i left our quaint lil home in Williams Bay around 2PM to head to the big city also known as Milwaukee for that grand summer party time called Summerfest! the ride was boring and cloudy... we were hoping the rain would hold out til we got home later that night.. we got there almost an hour later and $15 poorer cuz parking is a scam around there... the ever so famous Pat McCurdy was playing at 3:30 so we staked out our area and watch and laughed our asses off for a good hour and a half set. although i was disappointed cuz his show was almost identical to the one he does in Oshkosh at Bye-Gosh fest only 45 mins shorter. eh.. oh well that wasnt the main reason we came anyways. after some amazing "chicken and chips" from the little English stand we made our way to what was to become a long 4 hours. time passed slowly as we listened to some half way decent bands at the U.S. Cellular Stage on the those hard uncomfortable metal benches. during the wait we met miss sarah buechel and miss jenny grahm. they made their short appearanced then disappeared like phantoms into the crowd only to be heard again through text messages. sad. we waited and waited. a band from chicago called Shock Stars played a decent set. i suggest you check them out. kinda pop punk alternative. one guys was VERY easy on the eyes too.. mmm mmm good. he was mr.dj actually i think thats what he was doing but i have no clue. not the greatest picture. but i tried.. so after that there was another band.. they sucked like hardcore.. they're called Ours. i swear i went to the bathroom then came back and they were still playing the same song that sounded like someone was dying. no joke and the song lasted for like i swear 10 mins. ugh.. longer as hell.. so then as they were playing the rain unfortunately started. and let me just remind you that the U.S. Cellular stage is not covered like many of the stages there. the lightning came, which was amazing. it made that cracking noise.. mmmmmm orgasmic! the rain became harder and harder. then the band just randomly went off stage. odd. big dude came out saying that they were done playing due to the rain and that if the storms didnt let up then the big event may not go on.. sad news. it rained and rained. we got SOAKED! but it was amazing. everyone around was really nice and we were trying to make the best out of the situation. our hopes were raised when the fireworks started. ok so someone tell me.. how long do fireworks usually last at summerfest? b/c let me tell you i swear they lasted for OVER an hour. and ive been to summerfest for the past 3-4 years and they have NEVER lasted that long. ridiculous. the concert was to start at 10 and it was about 5 to 10 when the stage crew had come out and started taking tarps off and running the fog machines and testing the lights. we knew it was still goin on. the concert that i was SO psyched to see was goin to go on dispite the rain. the biggest thing was if this concert didnt go on, there wouldnt be a chance for us to see them again until their next tour. summerfest was this bands only stop in the midwest. which explains why it was so incredibly crowded. we got about 10th row or so and waited 4 -5 hours. there were people there that had waited over 8 hours! this was intense. so the concert was about to begin. and i had to pee.. so not cool. my brother told me just to wait but i couldnt! i left and tried to make my way out but there was NO way i was going anywhere. i swear from the end of the bench to the "enterance" of the stage it must have been at least 30 people deep. there was no way i was goin to get to the bathroom, come back in one piece, and not miss any of the show. i turned around.. pissing alot of people off and made my way back. i thankfully was right about heading back cuz the announcer came out and introduced the band. MOTHERFUCKING AFI!! man it was insane! it rained the entire time and the guys just rocked it out hardcore! they played ALOT of old song a few off of Decemberunderground but alot from Sing the Sorrow. It was so worth it! i had a blast! my brother had a blast! the wait was worth it! Davey has so much energy on stage its amazing. speaking of Davey here's a picture..................................................>
crazyness. Jade the guitarist is amazing...amazingly hot! damn. lol that that was that. they played for about an hour. and the best part was is that they sound exactly like they do on their albums.. check for proof down below.....and it was the best hour of the summer. my neck is sore now from head bangin a lil too much and my throat even two days later is still a lil sore. but damn. i cant wait to see them again. so we walked back soaking wet to the car and made our way home. we got a lil hungry on the way and stopped in Waukesha for some Micky D's for what we thought would be a 5 minute stop. damn were we wrong! we waiting in the drive through for 35 mins! and they still fucked our order up! WTF?! damn... so after that fiasco we finished the drive and headed home.. it was amazing. a night to remember. here's a lil video for y'all taken by me!
