Another interesting weekend. Which is a good thing, compared to the hum drum weekends of by-gone days. Before I get into my little retrospect of the last few days, here's a few choice words from Social Distortion in honor of them announcing another tour this year...

I Was Wrong

Oh, when I was young
I was so full of fear
I hid behind anger, held back the tears
It was me against the world
I was sure that I'd win
But the world fought back, punished me for my sins
I felt so alone
So insecure
I blamed you instead, made sure I was heard
And they tried to warn me
Of my evil ways
But I wouldn't hear what they had to say
I was wrong
Self destruction's got me again
I was wrong
I realize now that I was wrong

And I think about my loves
Well, I've had a few
Well, I'm sorry that I hurt them
Did I hurt you too?
I took what I wanted
Put my heart on the shelf
But how can you love me when you don't love yourself?
It was me against the world
I was sure that I'd win
The world fought back, punished me for my sins
And they tried to warn me
Of my evil ways
But I couldn't hear what they had to say

I was wrong
Self destruction's got me again
I was wrong
I realize now that I was wrong
I was wrong, yeah
I was wrong

I grew up fast
And I grew up hard
Something was wrong from the very start
I was fighting everybody
I was fighting everything
But the only one that I hurt was me
I got society's blood running down my face
Somebody help me get outta this place
How could someone's bad luck last so long?
Until I realized that I was wrong

I was wrong
Self destruction's got me again
I was wrong
I realize now that I was wrong
I was wrong
Self destruction's got me again
I was wrong
The only moment that I was me
I was wrong

Great song...check it out sometime if you havent yet. Maybe it'll change your opinion on Social D. Maybe it'll make you run for the sweet sounds of New Kids on the Block instead.

But, I digresss. Good weekend, for the most part. I missed going out on Friday night due to coverage of the two fallen Firefighters in Port Richmond. Stayed for a Presser till about 2am. Couldnt find an afterhours bar to save my life. I guess thats what NYC is for. Went home and read a book whilst drinking a beer. Nice.

As for Saturday, a much better day. Started off picking up tix for the Upcoming
Cramps and Motorhead shows. Dropped a clean 60 bucks on that idiocy. But any chance to see both of those bands, Ill take. Made my way to Kellians up on Fairmount for some lunch and converation with a old bartender friend I havent seen in awhile. Synflower stopped by the pad later on that day, and we did the old record shopping thingy down in Old City at AKA Records. New purchases include P.W. Long, Mark Lanegan Band, The Soviettes, and the Poster Children. A quick drink and din-din at The Standard Tap was followed by a night of fun at Tattooed Moms with Maxi, Aponia, Macgrrl, and TobasElly, as well as a few other really cool folx. I'm really diggin on T-Moms. Great place....

Blah blah blah...enough of the update. Here's me music list for the past few days:

1.) Joy Division - Substance
2.) Husker Du - Warehouse: Songs and Stories
3.) Staind - Break the Cycle
