So I don't usually do this, but I'm going to plug my good friend Ryan's band. They're called Falling Into Nothing, from Regina, and are playing this Saturday night (15th) at the Buffalo Lounge (First Baptist Youth Centre on Victoria and Lorne, in Regina). Doors at 6:30pm, $5, penis cake may make an appearance. It's one of those shows with like 5 unknown bands, but FIN is really good- Ryan can fucking wail- and I don't say that unless I mean it. Check it out, if you're into the local scene. And are local, haha.
I've decided to stop tanning for good, after about 3 years of going hardcore. "Straight-edge" if you will in terms of skin and tattoo care, finally. I'm a hottie when I'm tanned, but I don't feel the need anymore. This also gives me more time to be in the actual GYM itself in the same amount of time (instead of in the tanning bed) meaning that I'll get my smokin bod back sooner. I'm game.
TURN UP THE SUCK. This is my new game plan. Background theory: since any attempt of mine to actually do well and succeed or make something work out well or to my advantage these days just massively backfires right up into my face (causing too many days lost due to EMO downtime), I've decided to stop trying to succeed. I'm going to turn down the SUCCESS meter and turn up the SUCK knob, in the hopes that this will work out better. Do not confuse this with my underlying Team Awesome membership... It's just Team Awesome: TURN UP THE SUCK Special Division. I can do anything awesomely, including sucking. This actually worked out perfectly for a friend of mine, who went into a job interview for an engineering work term and attempted to blow the interview by being as sucky as he possibly could... and ended up getting the job. I figure that it can't hurt- I won't be wasting precious energy trying to succeed and the days NOT wasted emo-ing out can be used for being more randomly me, more randomly fun. And nothing can fail more than the past month of my trying to do everything right. Another advantage- it's easier to suck, and it's less stressful. I'm content with sucking. haha this is starting to sound so terribly and gutterminded... I love it. Bring on the suck, I say. BAM! KICK IT UP A NOTCH!
One of my friends had the following as their MSN screen name the other day: "People you don't expect to love are the ones you never forget." For some reason, that really struck a chord with me... and I'm not sure why, because people (including myself) constantly have all kinds of sappy and sentimental and thought-provoking phrases as their screen names. But... isn't that just the fucking truth? HELLLLSSS YA. When that happens, and you realize it... you're basically screwed. Amen, brother.
Much love goes out to SkidSkateArtFag, who was my shoulder to cry on as I turned up the suck today. *round of applause, with encore* He also did some mad photoshopping on this terrible webcam shot that I took today out of boredom- we went from random boring emo to super turbo ninja emo to space age moon boot rock out emo. I was inspired to download a free 30 day trial of photoshop, in the hopes that I'll teach myself how to do at least one thing... holy complicated program. I can see the headline now: "Science Nerd Turns Computer Geek, and Insanity Ensues." But if I get a tattoo of a computer chip, someone shoot me, ok?
*edited* grrrrr, I took out the pics, because apparently they can't be seen... I can see them, what the fuck is going on?!
And speaking of good bands! At the Slipknot afterparty the other night, this band called Gate from Edmonton played... HOLY MOTHERFUCK, they were awesome. I'm annoyed that I can't find anything by them online to download; I'm going to have to actually move my ass and go to another show so I can buy a CD. I get so excited when I discover a sick band, hee hee. www.gateband.com

I think everyone in Canada that isn't from there says, "destination: Vancouver." I know I do. A lot.
