Over the last two years I’ve been jumping at every chance to see bands I haven’t listened to in years but definitely swooned over in middle school and high school. I feel like I’m paying myself back for all of the concerts my mom wouldn’t let me go to. And I think I’m doing a fine fucking job.

I’m a fucking pro at reminiscing. I do it so often I don’t think it’s considered reminiscing, maybe I’m still secretly obsessed with every band I once loved? I’m over being embarrassed about the musicians that molded the awkward years. I’ll still laugh at myself for these things but I’ve really learned to embrace it. So much that I feel incompetent when it comes to modern music.

I have an okay grasp on what’s popular today and the new music that I like, but I always find myself on Spotify looking up Motion City Soundtrack and The Matches. There’s always a sense of home for me when it comes to music circa 2006. And to be honest I’m starting to realize how much more fun they were.

Nothing against newer artists, but I never feel that warm connection with the performers during shows anymore. As far as interaction with the audience goes, I’m lucky if I can get a few jokes from a band. But over the last few years of my mission to experience what I’ve missed as a kid, I’ve been so unusually happy. The bands still act like they’re 22 and they have what appear to be alive and childish personalities. I’ve really missed seeing that. I’m almost afraid that the kids growing up won’t be able to experience the perfect immaturity I’ve been able to witness. Maybe that’s just me. Maybe I’m still 13.

Seeing Mest really perked up the worst month of the year for me. I didn’t even stay for the headliners. I feel so old, this is the first time I’ve left a show without waiting to see the other bands. Now I’m rambling. I’m sleepy.

I just read over this and don’t feel like editing it. I might delete this later.

There’s this crazy little “Donate” button on my page. Some shameless broke college student must’ve put it there. Some very appreciative shameless broke college student must’ve put it there…

If you’re as broke as I am I don’t expect anything from you, in fact I hope you come into awesome money sometime soon. But if you feel like giving, or feel like asking me for some cliche jewelry that involves skulls, crosses, bones or awkward small toys, click “Donate” and see what happens <3

on another note, my captcha for tinypic was zombie prom.
