blah-og.

I haven't posted in a while, or at least it feels like it. Its only been 6 days, and thats probably because I haven't updated 365 Puddles in probably longer. Whatev, I'm a horrible person I know.
Well this weekend I went to the good old baltimore. I really enjoyed it, even though they're were very silly and unnecessary things involved, it was good. Hadn't seen a show in forever and the whole point of coming down was to see the show. Nice, I love trips like that. Went to the ottobar to see halfway to the moon, the sophomore attempt, ...promise, mercy mercedes, and interstate north.
So good to see halfway live. This was their first show and a damn good one at that. Especially damn good for me because I've been stopping in on them recording which means I never get to hear the full song all together. So that was good, and I wasn't quite sure they were gonna be my style but around two weekends ago, I stopped by Justin's on my way back to philadelphia to make him and ben food and get some frisbee in. Hearing the vocals made me believe a lot more, I've always been one to fall in love with vocals. And it was good to see the guys.
The sophomore attempt I've been hearing on myspace for a while so it was convient to be able to see them live. They were good, and they had a hardcore group of youngun's to see them. It was mildly creepy though. And if that didn't make me feel old enough, they were like "we've been hearing this song on the radio a lot so we know all you guys will like it." I had no fucking clue what the song was, I know I've heard the hook before, but otherwise, total loss. I feel bad saying I felt old when a guy I was talking to on myspace felt that he was the oldest person there.
...promise, I feel like they've been getting shit on by the scene, but I think they're good. They played a lot of bullshit shows when the bands giving them crap never had to. I'm also biased cause I played with some of those guys for a while. So as usual good to see them.
Mercy mercedes, good, that guys voice is still kinda in my head. I heard they just got signed and are gonna tour with farewell, which is how I heard about them in the first place. I still kinda feel like their was something a little off about their set, but I was tired so god knows if they're was really something to be done. And I've never heard their studio recordings so yeah, I just feel like maybe they're was some electronic piece missing, or maybe I'm comparing them too much to farewell?
Interstate north, I don't know. Not really my style and I'm nervous to say it, they might be past their prime. I hate that, but they're was just nothing really to catch me on to it.
In other news, we went to BK tonight. Sooo bad for me, especially cause I haven't ran in forever. It was cause I was lazy, and now its cause of this damn heat. I'm so glad this is abnormal, or at least for now. But anyway, the BK a couple blocks down was closed off and locked, so we drove maybe 20 minutes to get BK. haha we have no lives.
Speaking of no life, still no job. I found an awesome graphic/marketing job at a Philadelphia venue, but I am by no means qualified. Damnit.
Now that was a pretty decent post. I think I might go to sleep early. Even thought I woke up at 11 and napped from 6-9. oh well.
