So, my good friend Tom, who is also my partner in crime and the co-founder of our design company,
Broken Gear Designs, is now also my bandmate. Yes, we're going to start a band that does acoustic covers of Rage Against the Machine songs. Haha! But... probably not.
Anyway... here's a non-cryptic, straight-shooter update for ye.
Friday night, my friend B-squared (his name is Brian Baer, but we all have retarded nicknames over here... for example, mine is "T.Mai-ness", Dawn is "DOWN", and our friend Jessi is "D") called and asked if I would re-dye his hair black. So we headed to Safeway to pick up some dye... and while there, I got the brilliant idea to bleach my hair. Baer was no help at all... "It will look AWESOME" he said... last time I ever listen to a straight boy about hair.
Anyway, needless to say it looked like ass. LIKE ASS. I took a picture with my phone, so, if you want to see it, I could picture-message you (only if you're on Verizon Wireless, so it's free). Yesterday, I bought black hair dye and tried to fix the horrible disaster... it didn't work... so now I have hair that is literally indescribably bad. You'll have to come visit me to see (I'll be home Tuesday... weather pending!!)
Also, yesterday (man, busy day) DOWN B-squared and I went to Best Buy... I got Tenacious D's new album... It's alright, but it's hard to top their first one.
Last night, a big group of us (David-yes, David Nelson- JonGrubb, aforementioned Tom & his girlfriend, B-squared, Taylor Bailey, and me) went to Brian's band, BadRide's show. Tom and I were able to network and may have landed some design work with the band Don't Say No. We're waiting on an Email!
And the bands were good. Don't Say No was kind of a typical screamo band, but they were good at what they did. Lack Of Respect had a song about robots. :-| Best band ever. And BadRide apparently has a huge following and they aren't too bad... but Brian likes to talk a lot in between each song. I think he was a little* drunk... but I didn't talk to him much. He seemed like he didn't want me there. It was the first time we had seen eachother since we broke up a couple weeks ago. I didn't think it would be awkward because we still text message eachother everyday.
Anyway, after the show, I sent him a text message that said good job and such, and I also apologized for going if he didn't want me there. But this morning he wrote back and explained that he was actually happy I went and he tends to be "stand-offish" before shows.
So it was a good night... Except the revelation that I miss Brian a little* more than I realized.
*By "a little" I mean a lot
