Oh Woe...

So I was pretty amped to go see the Slackers this past Monday but it was all for nothing. I did not get to go. I was a little sad but I am hopeful that they will come back. They have to come back! I really enjoyed their music, I remember the first time I heard them. It was on a Hellcat Record Give Em the Boot comp 3. The song was called "Watch This" and it was so pretty. I have two of their other cd's but neither of them have this song on it. Unfortunately, I also lost that comp too so I have no access to it at all. I can watch it on Youtube now so that is kinda cool but there's nothin' like having the actual cd you can jam in your car or around the house. I think I was at a party at my friend Ragans' house when my (still, 10 years later) best friend Charity came over and she had brought it with her. We had so much fun that night and many after that too. Ragan's house was usually a great place to hang out at, even after Paulyo, Matt and me wrecked his car. paulyo ran a stop sign and we were side swiped. Poor Ragan I bought him a Hot Wheels toy to try and make him feel better but it only made him laugh then go quiet. I think it was not nearly so consoling as I had hoped it would be, but many bottles and beers later his apartment's stayed great party spots. The Slackers will always remind me of a lot of old times, both good and bad but always worth remembering. I have noticed the last couple of blogs I posted say something about living. I hope that I have lived life to the fullest. I know I have pushed it to the edge on several occasions. But sometimes I worry that I will never grow up and since I am already 28 (gasp!) it may be too late for me too. I get excited about silly things and still jump up and down. But sometimes I act childish too and get down and out. I am usually immersed in a reading and it is hard to come up for air and life after so much reading. Thank goodness Kevin has the patience of a saint! He is actually named after a saint, I didn't know there was even a saint named Kevin but the Catholics seem to have a Saint for everything! I have found some consolation in the Bloom reading, after she said she didn't have a real job until she was thirty something. What a relief! I just sit around reading and trying to write, so maybe I am capable of writing something enticing and interesting too! Well, that's my blah blah blahg for today...
