i really want to set something on fire


so, my birthday was monday. set out for a road trip sunday. drove over 1000 miles in 3 days. went from home to richmond, va just to see Lamb of God start their new tour in their home town. got myself a nice hotel room almost across the street at the hilton gardens. amazing show. monday, drove to columbus, oh. hung out with my sister for supper. she was awesome and paid. watch some movies with her and her boyfriend. hardball(good) and warrior(awesome). chilled tuesday in columbus til the afternoon. machine head headlined a show. killer time. the only down side was that i didn't really spend time with any of my friends. dude i work with was at the machine head show. seen him across the room.

the experience was very cool in some ways. got to see 2 of my favorite bands around my birthday. but the experience was also very bad in that i made that trip by myself. about a 10 hour drive to richmond, 7.5 hours to columbus and then 1.5 hour drive home after the show tuesday night. something unsettling about that. i've got 2 more shows i'm going to by myself coming up soon. gigantour(megadeth, motorhead, volbeat) in michigan(feb 9) and in flames & trivium in cleveland(feb 13). will be interesting.

i need some new friends that kick ass and can/want to go to shows
