Well, in typical Sean fashion, I left this
site nice and updated for over a week, didnt I? Figures, doesnt it?
Oh well. Anyways, Im back, keeping up on things and yeah, its
all good now. So what have I been up to? Actually, I've been
pretty damn busy most of the time, something I'm quite good at. Lets
see, we'll go back to last week, shall we? Tuesday is the first day
I remember, and it was spent cleaning my room and moving it around. I
dont know why, but every time I tend to clean my room, it gets moved around.
Funny little shit there, I suppose. Anyways, the laptop is now
in my room, so its time to stop slacking and get a hub hooked up. Maybe
I'll try to clean off the old computer to the point where it almost operates
right first. I dont know. Anyways, Wednesday was spent in quiet
anticipation for Thursday as well as spending some time with Diane. I
think we went to eat but Im not sure. Honestly, I dont remember.
Anywho, onto Thursday, shall we?
Thursday, of course, was the much anticipated
Van's Warped Tour at Six Flags Darien Lake. Now, I knew it was going
to be a long day, but damn, I found out that Im also not as young as I think
I am. Anyways, it was a great time. We left at about 10 and got
off the Thruway just in time to miss the ensuing traffic jam. Good
stuff, though we had a nice little wait ourselves, it was nothing compared
to what it could have been. We also happened to stop next to my buddy
Chris' ex, an immature one in my opinion, and that was a little ackward,
but not nearly as bad as my 4 minute straight laugh that she was next to
us. Anywho, we moved slowly, until we actually, get this, followed
the sign to take us around the park to avoid the traffic. Why no one
else did this, I dont know...I really dont. Then again, people are
idiots, right? Damn straight. Anyways, we cut one hell of a long
wait into about 10 minutes, mostly due to a train, and then we headed in.
Getting through security was a pain with so many people, but we got
in before anything we wanted to see started. At first we saw The Starting
Line and they were pretty damn good. Then we went to see some of the
scenery, with no bands we wanted to see playing. We also discovered
that Hard Lemonade's cost a shitload. Six damn bucks for one of those.
I downed mine, and then Chris' as he cant do bubbles. Wait, this
was during the Starting Line, nevermind. After that we went to get
some food I think and I had two more Hard Lemonades in line. Yeah,
it was a long wait. I had some shitty pizza and off to see more bands
we went. We went to see Simple Plan and they blew. They remind
me way too much of Blink...way too much. Next we caught the M-80s.
Talk about a surprise. These guys rocked! I loved it.
After that we saw Less than Jake, a good time of course, followed by
the disappointing Rancid. Now, I know Chris was tired...and I was getting
annoyed with people, as obvious by the fact I almost got into a fight, but
Rancid sounded off, they really did. After Rancid was Me First and
the Gimme Gimme's who did a cover act the whole time. I wasnt into
that. Next was the Dropkick Murphys and they were good, but nothing
special I guess. By this time I was out of it...I really was. But then
revival, as the Suicide Machines absolutely kicked some serious ass. Great
time there, even if I did slice my toenail in two and bled like a stuck pig.
Woooo! Juciing at a concert, it doesnt get any better than that.
After the Suicide Machines, we grew weary of the rest of the shows
and just left. Hell, we are in our twenties now, we dont have the energy
to do 8 hours of concerts. We did our six...that was good enough.
Friday was spent doing a lot of nothing, until
work. Did some work, but got massively distracted with costumers and
the such and damned if it looked like we didnt do shit. But we did,
we really did, I swear. I'm looking forward to Halloween, I really
am, I think its going to be a good year. I like our staff, I like our
managers and while a lot of idiots will be coming in, this year is going
to be good, I think. Perhaps I'll put up a Party City rant soon enough,
but for now, Im almost happy there, minus being now a month late for my raise.
Sons of bitches!
Saturday was more work, more fun! Wait,
it wasnt fun, it was tying balloons, dealing with idiot costumers and playing
Mr. Cashier. Hell, I barely even ate a lunch and turned down a chance
to go to a free dinner...whats wrong with me? I spent the night relaxing,
kicking back, and even watched some football for the first time this year,
watching the Bills game. Their defense looks great, let me tell you.
I'm very happy with what I saw from them, though the offense needs
to get into gear, my spirits remain high for the year.
Next up was Sunday, yesterday, and it was
a good day, in my opinion. I woke up late, got ready and then turned
on Jay and Silent Bob and napped for an hour. Yeah, great sequence
of events there, I tell ya. Anyways, after finally pulling my ass out
of bed, I went to the bank and then off to Party City to meet my fellow employees
and fellow employees for a rousing Fantasy Football draft. Yes, I know its
early, but blow me. I was quite happy with my picks, as I got a pretty
damn good team I think. My rosters for all my fantasy teams will be
available shortly. I was also happy with my spinach and artichoke dip
as well as the two Jack and Cokes I had. Anywho, it only took 4 hours
but we got full teams of 20 people. Not too bad if I do say so myself.
Then off to dinner with Diane and the fun experience of the evening.
Leaving, we were going to head to WalMart to cause all sorts of problems,
but we never made it. What happened was Laura, Diane's sister, didnt
pay attention and tapped the guy ahead of her at a stoplight. Pretty
good tap too, though not nearly as hard as I was anticipating as I saw the
whole thing unfold. Anyways, the guy was nice about it and since nothing
was wrong with his car, Laura got off scott free. Lucky. But
then, for the next 2 hours, while we awaited Diane's mom returning home,
we got to hear Laura cry and whine about it, all because there was a scratch
on her car. Her mom wasnt even mad. Such a fuss for nothing.
Oh well.
This week looks to be interesting as I gear
up for a nice little vacation to Cedar Point once again. At work this week,
my uncle is on vaca so Im all alone and have work to do but I dont think
it will be enough to occupy me every day. Also, I have to get down
to the Kayfabe Dojo this week, probably tomorrow, to get things rolling there
so I can get in the door to work there. Also, we have to book RCW's
next 3 shows coming up soon. Im excited, 3 shows in 2 months, including
back to back weeks. Should be good stuff. Anyways, look for stuff
to go up...even maybe some reminiscing as I take a look back at high school,
maybe. Anywho, Im outtie. Later! |
