danger will robinson, danger

Currently bleaching hair. Burns like a bitch. Nothing I'm not used to.

Psyched for the Green Day show in Chicago Sunday. So, so fucking pumped. I imagine this is how a suicide bomber must feel anticipating virgins in the afterlife.

Ah, it itches so fucking badly. I still have like an hour of waiting before I can shower.

I saw Green Day at Webster Hall back in May, the day after my 16th birthday. And I can't even really descibe how amazing it was. Maybe it was years of build-up from having wanted to see them so badly since I was like, 10 years old. Maybe they're just amazing preformers. Maybe both. I don't care. It was just...so epic.

Met so many cool people there. At a lot of shows I feel alienated, like everyone belongs to some exclusive club that I'm denied access to. Not the case with Green Day. Everyone just wanted to see a good show, and knew there was no reason to start shit or fuck with other people.

And you think, if you're going to a concert, then all the other people that are going to see the same thing will just want that--to see a good show and have an awesome time.

Not the case.

It may seem like such a small thing, but it's really hard to like some bands just because of their fanbase.

It's just...I don't know how to decribe it, other than shows are like their own tiny microcosms (thankyou, ninth grade english class). Depending on where you are, your microcosm may contain x-amount of assholes. Like the Crazy Donkey--most shows there are at like, nine on a Tuesday night with most people just there for drinks on Long Island, so you're gonna have a lot of assholes. MSG, you're gonna have a lot of people going to the show just because it's at MSG in New York, so you're gonna have a lot of assholes.

Then there's Warped Tour at the Colliseum--where everyone's there for their own favorite bands and it's too hot to fuck with people. So there is significantly less asshole-age. Or a show at Webster Hall where a dude will pay two hundred dollars in quarters for a ticket that he stole out of his parents fishbowl of change.

My hair's done now--all light and blond. Kind of don't know what else to write about, so I'll end it with this:

Through love and honor only can your journey be worth the desitination.

Also, you will find prosperity in the stock market.
