Where is my mind?

Brand New was stupendous (thank you thesaurus.com). Second only to the first time I saw them and Saturday is nearing closer and closer. More on that in a day or two.

Highlights Include:
The Builders and The Butchers bringing down the house.
Jesse's seductive dance moves throughout the show, but particualrly during Sic Transit...
The incredible jam session during Okay I Believe You...
Neutral Milk Hotel cover, what what!
Jesse incorporating aerobics into the show by jumping over every inch of the stage.
Brian having his mouth open the entire show with a huge smile on his face.
Vin's back up vocals are stellar.
Garret being Garret?
Derek is just like the cute little baby of the band.

I ended up taking some pictures with my phone. Of course they came out with not so great quality, but there were a few gems in there. Here's a link and they're mixed in there with other stuff: http://www.new.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2000846&l=6085e&id=1436370106

Feed The Animals is so fucking awesome!

It's the best of everything combined.

Incredible

On another note, I've aced Pharmacology with a 96.7%, aced English, and got an incredible 99% on my Nursing final. I am kicking so much ass right now. Saturday I take my STNA test so that I can get a job. I filled out the application today. It was such a pain in the ass getting lost in Dayton trying to get there though. My mom gives terrible directions. Remind me never to listen to her or her stupid GPS thing again.

Happy Birthday Jesse! Damn, 30 years old.

If the internet did not exist, I would have at least started studying for finals. However, I usually do my best work when I procrastinate. Hopefully that holds true during this week. I think I might try doing some study guides now. That would probably be a really good idea.

Jesse Lacey sings The Beatles, oh yeah.

Does anyone know how to rip out a uterus? It's been over two years since I've been in the presence of greatness. I feel old and very sad. I want to fix this. I feel very sad in general right now. I'm having terrible mood swings lately. I'm quietly losing control...

couldn't resist sorry. The worst of it is that's really what I feel like. I'm sick of school. I'm sick of worrying about everything. I'm sick of being sick. I just want to be done. I feel a nervous breakdown coming on. I've got that sinking feeling in my chest.

Man, I'm fucking Debbie Downer right now.

I hate stressing out. I am fine and then bam every problem hits me at once. My car is running good, but there are a few issues that aren't good at all, mainly costly issues. I am going to need a far more reliable car for school and it's up to me to save up for it. After this trip to New York, that's my next goal as far as savings goes.

Speaking of school, I need to take the Hesi exam so I can secure my spot starting in the winter quarter. I need to get that over with so it is one less thing on my mind. It is basically like a proficiency test, so I'm not really concerned with passing it, just getting it over with more or less. School however, is stressing me out. I'm worried that it is going to ruin everything. I know it's only for a year, but a year is a long time. It is an especially long time if you aren't seeing friend(s), going to concerts, or doing anything besides studying.

I need to make some actual money also. Burger King is a rip off and waste of my time. It's frustrating spending so much time there being miserable and getting so little reward. It would be quite pointless to look for a job before NY though, so there isn't much I can do at the moment.

I'm sure everything will be fine. There are always ways to make things work and I've got many people to help me out, I think. I can still do concerts and see friends, I'll just have to cut back a lot. Everything will be worth it when I am able too move to New York for good within two years time.

On a much better note, Jesse Lacey is coming up in two days time! I think that if it's even possible, this show will be even more wonderful than the last. Just the thought is making me feel much better.

I wanted to make an update spanning the entirety of this trip, but I am nearing a relaxing, long bath and am unable to think at the moment. Now if you are wondering why I am unable to think, or if it isn't obvious to you (moron), I will be most happy to tell you. Yesterday I was in the presence of pure and incredible greatness. His name is Jesse Lacey. He is my god and his songs are my bible. I was no farther from him than my screen is from me right now.

-Grace Read has a truly beautiful voice, very nice. Her piano skills and sense of humor aren't lacking either.

-K-Dev is, well K-Dev, which is funny and great.

-Jesse Lacey is... ah.

Their powers combined create CAPTAIN PLANET! No, I'm only kidding, none of them had hair that even resembled a glowing green mullet. They did however, create one hell of a tour and I am ecstatic for Friday, the last stop on it.


Oh and fyi, Brand New, or should I say Jesse Lacey, has some of the most lame fans this side of Texas.

I'm just waiting for these damn tickets to go on sale. It's driving me crazy. I'm paranoid that I won't get any because there are so many different times they apparently go on sale. I'm thinking that more than likely it'll be two here when they finally do go on sale. Funny thing is, that's what time I go into work. Oh well, so I'll be a few minutes late for he first time. I'll say that a doctor's appointment I had ran too long or something along those lines. BK can suck it if they have a problem with that.

Other than that I'm not doing anything, except loving my wonderful new mac book.

Oh, last night Cupcake bit Noel on her eye again. She was bleeding, but everything looks fine now. I think Noel has learned this time because she growls at just the sight of Cupcake, where as before she acted like nothing ever happened.

I think my noodles are done. I'm going to go eat them.


Edit: So I just took a metaphorical shit on my manager. I called off 45 minutes before I was due to come in. I would feel bad, but it isn't like she hasn't shit on me either. I am getting those fucking tickets. Actually I did puke and I do feel like shit, so it isn't total lie.
