Time to blog, eh? (my house and it's newfound green-ness ^^^^)
Well I've been a huge slacker with the blog as of late...I guess I have my phases cause I've been known to blog often too. hm.
So how's everyone's summer going so far? Mine is going alright thus far, I've done a lot of things I wanted to do.
I went to Warped Tour last week and it was a good time and like I say with everything else, everyone sucks for not coming. I think I say that way too often, don't you think? It was just Krystal and me going and I saw a couple of other people that I knew there. I think it was a pretty successful Warped year. I got to meet Aaron from Underoath and ask him how old he was when he recorded one of my favorite cd's. He was 17. My mouth basically dropped because the drumming on that album is amazing. I wore my "Free Hugs" shirt and got a good amount of hugs, most from guys haha. I enjoyed it though because hugs make people smile and they made me smile too and it was a good thing. Krystal and I stayed for the whole thing too, which marks the first time I have done so in the 3 that I've been to. It was definitely very tiring.
I've been hanging out with "family" (cause like none of them are directly related to me) lately because everyone came to visit for my cousin's Quincea
ñera. On Wednesday Joel, Sergio and I went to get the new Pumpkins cd (which is pretty freaking good) and got a bunch of sodas for the Quince. I realized I need to hang out with Joel more haha, and we're talking about jamming or starting a band when I get the drums back at my house (they're getting new heads put on to make them sound better).
Speaking of Quincea
ñera...that was yesterday and it was a blast. (info? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quinceanera. scroll down to "Mexico") I had to dance...haha...like a fully choreographed dance with the other ..guys...escorts...whatever they're called. Yeah. it was scary especially since we only had like 3 days to learn it all. But I guess we did good cause everyone clapped really loud and I was told it was good by several people. Everything was pretty sweet cause I got to dress up in a tux and look good. haha. I guess everyone's already heard about this anyways, so moving on. (if you haven't, ask me)
So I haven't been up to much lately, mostly just hanging out with people and working Tuesdays and Thursdays. Working has been good to me, I get payed well for doing construction, which is a little stressful sometimes, but it's worth it in the end when I buy all my concert tickets. Speaking of which, I got my ticket for the Smashing Pumpkins! I never ever thought I would be able to say that. ever. They're coming in September and I'm totally gonna be there. It's gonna be on a school day too so don't expect to see me in school that day, I'm gonna be in line, maybe even camp out. I'm hoping to see Muse that month too, but I have to get my ticket soon before they sell out. Underoath is coming in October with Maylene and the Sons of Disaster which I'm also very excited for. This fall is gonna be a good one for concerts.
I finally got a drum set at my house. The one that is usually found at Lurpe's house that I use to jam with him. yeah, that one. It sucked a lot up until recently when we put super good heads on it, now it sounds pretty dang good. Micah let me borrow his double bass pedal too so we're set there for the time being, i just need cymbals. lots of them.
Mike and I are starting a cover band, for the time being it looks like we're mostly just doing Muse and SP songs and stuff like that, which brings me to announce something, we're starting a DCFC tribute band! yep, me on drums, Mike on bass, Jeb and Britta on guitars/vocals, Morgan on keyboards and i guess we could have someone sing the whole time haha.
anyway, done with the weird announcements, here's a Smashing Pumpkins song for you, it's called Daphne Descends:
with the sugar sickness you spy the kidnap kid who kids you to oblivion it's the perfect hassle for the perfumed kiss he makes you miss him more than home you love him you love him more than this you love him and you cannot, you can't resist you love him you love him for yourself you love him and no one, no one else past sidewalk ashes a last lovers arc you come apart to intertwine it was all so simple as you watched him move across the darkness in your room you love him you love him for youself you love him and no one, no one else and the winding vines the pretty boys dive and thru the pinhole stars into the shadow mind you will lose him then on some gentle dawn this boy is here and gone you love him you love him for yourself you love him and no one, no one else you love him you love him more than this you love him and you cannot, you can't resist you love him...
Love,
Berto
