Went to monolith last night...Cake and Decemberists...it was a sweet show. I wish I could have gone tonight to see Flaming lips...oh well, maybe next time they come.
It's funny...I saw The Flaming Lips last year when they played Red Rocks and they did a cover of "War Pigs", and this year Cake did a cover of "War Pigs", crazy, huh?
I don't remember if I wrote this here or not but If I did you're going to have to endure it a second time. My dad called the other day and asked how I've been, asked me what I've been up to. I told him that I just bought a new video card and some ram for my computer. He says, "Oh...well, I hope you're not becoming one of those...GAMERS" he says "Gamers" like a trailer park manager might say queers. I say to him, "Becoming? dad, where have you been the past...23 years...I've always played lots of video games." he says to me, "Well, this guy I used to work with spent 6 hours a night on some online CRAP." I didn't have the stones to say it at the time but I wanted to say, "Dad, you spend six hours a night watching NCIS and fox news while reading Tom Clancy...I don't think you have much room to be judgemental, at least this guy is probably socializing in some fashion whereas you are just getting your news filtered through a douchebag with a bow tie."
I'm completely and utterly uninterested in anything lately...I can barely finish a movie, it sucks.
nice peppy journal for you all.

Most of my friends and work collegues don't understand about me being a 'gamer' - damn that sounds so nasty! ha ha! but youa re right, its nothing to be ashamed off, and you do get to meet people, and have fun! and its no different to people who sit around reading books all day. or whatever. its your hobby, it doesnt hurt anyway. so everyone else can piss off.
