XIII.

My attempts to document my feelings have failed miserably. Whenever I think about writing in this, I don't. When I feel like writing, I feel like it's boring. Then again, I'm not writing for anybody else, just myself. Even I get bored at times.

This past week was awesome. It was 7 Gens first time playing in a couple months and I was excited to show the new songs to everybody. We all got very very good feed back and it definitely put me in an up mood about writing more. A good hand full of people told us that it was the best line up 7 gen's ever had and it's very fulfilling to know that I'm part of that line up. It's also very fulfilling to know that people like the songs I wrote and can't wait to hear more. I like the feeling of playing live shows, it's so cliche to say but, nothing beats that feeling, at least for me. It was also my first time playing live with my new guitar, it sounds amazing, feels amazing, looks amazing. I couldn't have been happier. Now it's covered in blood and sweat, and it still looks good. I sound like a nerd, but trust me, I've heard more nerdary come out of Nicholas' mouth about guitars than I'll ever know how to put into words.

This past week also brought us our good friends in Risen, I've met Kent and Kurt before. But the others I didn't but it was good meeting all of them and hanging out with them. They brought a game called "logging" to California. It's basically a simple task of putting a piece of folded up paper (hot dog style) onto someones shoulder, to see how long it will be on there. The paper usually has the person who completed the tasks name and sometimes even has the time it was put on. There is no point system, it is just a game that makes people look like idiots with stuff on their shoulders. I swear, after almost every show there was a bunch of logs on the floor. I'm not sure if it's a very eco-friendly game. Either way, the hilarity that ensued those nights at the shows was worth it...maybe. Risen even made a song about logging, the game. Hopefully it doesn't die down. Anyway, back to the point...those guys' are awesome. I love seeing them live and I love spending time with them. I hope they come out here again, or we go over there...I remember liking Indiana when I was there. Especially where Kurt lives, it's a nice little place.

Summer's almost here and I'm torn because I think I might need to get a job. This time I'm applying at skate shops so I can just hang out all day. I hope it works out. I really want to get a job at a piercing shop...Cary, if you're reading this, you know what to do. Either way, I want money, guitar equipment, and more tattoos. I hope I can do something about all three of those by the time summer is over.

There's so many other things I can write about but I don't have the desire. Last week was pretty good. This week sucks because it isn't last week.
