MRI was not so bad... got to listen to the phils the whole time, and what a sick game. it was hard to lie completely still during those grand slams. i think my ankle will be radioactive soon...apparently there's a small fracture tho. they might wanna cast me. fuck my life. gotta live it up for now tho. decided to go to the phillies game tomorrow with phil (hold on to the'told you so's for now). pumped for alk3 on thurs, apparently it's gonna be a bigggggg reunion. also ppl are last minute trying to talk me into bamboozle. i'm not really feeling it tho.
BUT can we talk about the cops arresting all those bands at the bamboozle road show at the tla last night?? those youtube vids are crazy. is anyone really surprised at the cops tho?? i've been dealing with that shit comin out of the tla for 10+ years. and i once came THISCLOSE to being arrested for handing out flyers for y100 there once. seriously! fuck those guys.

owwwwwwwwwwwwww
anthony raneri posted this saying it was a cool tattoo. now i guess the idea is cool (love that self titled logo) but the actual execution is horrible and the one underneath probably just cancels it out anyway.
in other news i almost lost a finger today. ok it was not that bad BUT.. you know when you hurt yourself and for the first few seconds you're not sure how bad it is? i was totally scared to look. almost went to the hospital for stitches but decided against it. but since i'm allergic to neosporin and i can't remember when i last had a tetnus shot i might go get it looked at because i have insurance for a few more weeks. gotta bleed that shit dry.
and in the good daughter category, i'm taking my mom to xpn tomorrow to see kevin bacon's band. my mom looooves him, she met him when he filmed a movie in the northeast a few years ago. he used to come to bbs alot too. lucky for my mom the yrock studio connects to the dressing rooms, haaaaa.
so pissed i got screwed out of seeing save the day/alkaline tomorrow. may go to ny sat to see i am the avalanche at ak. and if i stay in philly tomorrow there's always the ataris at the khyber... ponder that for a second!!!!
AND WHAT IS THE STORY WITH THIS BLINK VIDEO???!!!??

you've got a friend in pennsylvania
interesting story
so i went to new found last weekend with chrissy. hung out in the balcony bar during bayside and met these 2 dudes. seemingly cool dudes, did the whole drinks and chit chat thing for a good while, from right after syg until at least midway through bayside. we were even talking about hanging out with them after. THEN the one dude said something more than minorly homophobic. i made some passing comment like "oh lovely, dude" to which he responds "whatever. i hate fucking fags" and keeps it goin from there. ohh ummm, chrissy it's time for a cigarette break?? sure let's go... the best part was he couldn't figure out why i was so turned off. i told him i had a gay brother and at that point he apologized for "offending" me. i don't have a gay brother -- i don't have a brother -- but should i need an excuse to be offended? i have a hard time keeping my opinions to myself sober but after a few drinks, forget it. i have zero fucking tolerance for homophobes, racists and the like. figures - cool, nice-looking dudes that wanna take us out and they like new found?? must be some flaw. at least i found it fast. chrissy and i enjoyed our drinks inside the troc bar after that.
speaking of being drunk, for some reason i thought it was a really good idea to drop 35$ on a goddamn pullover hoodie at the end of the night. ohh you take visa, here you go. i dunno what the merch split at the troc is but they have house venders so it's probably high (i know, i KNOW, but i always looked the other way and fudged the numbers. damn the man.) at least the hoodie is a spectacular shade of purple.

new found dreaming
so this is how ridic my dreams are.
me and chrissy (chrissy and i) are at new found, but like an old new found show... at the tla and we're right on the barricade. we're singing into the mike, the whole deal (side note... i really need to dig out my old pics, i know there's some jems of me and jordan circa 2000 in the back of my closet. i wish everything was digital back then. but i digress) so it's the last song and jordan asks me what i want to hear. i say ballad for the lost romantics... so they go into it... but it's not that song. it's no song i've ever heard. i look over at chrissy and she's singing away. i'm like "what the hell, this isn't it". she looks at me like i have 3 heads and screams "yes it is" then goes back to singing along. i look at the guy next to me, also singing along. at this point, i'm the only person in the place that doesn't know the words. eventually, chad stops the show to have me escorted out. yea. i think it was basically the musical dream equivalent of showing up to school without your clothes on.
(ms rock - i knew you'd really appreciate this one)

wfc
i can't believe it's been 5 months since rushing back to philly "after 3 wins", game 5 (and 5.5), going insane at frankford and cottman, and the parade down broad street. i don't care where i live, there is nothing like philly enthusiasm (tho sometimes misguided or misunderstood) and i don't think i will experience anything quite like being in philly last fall. and now i'm back here, stuck longer than i have intended... and it's really bittersweet and frustrating. but these past few months here have reminded me how much i missed it here, whether i realized it at the time or not. and hopefully things will pick up for me soon, but until then at least i'm here and not stuck in like nebraska or something. spring makes me optimistic. let's see how long it lasts. now who's gonna take me to a phillies game??
