10/5/08 and still hopeful.

By revolutionaire.
I'm angry at myself. I knew Against Me! was playing at the HOB, I also knew the show was too expensive for me to afford right now. So I slacked and didn't buy the ticket. Now I find out, a mere 10 days prior to the show, that there is an AM show at Common Grounds in FREAKING Gainesville . . . and it's sold the eff out. I'm angry. But still hopeful. I've asked everywhere, including here, for people to keep a look out for an extra ticket.

I guess what it comes down to is this: whether I have a ticket to the show or not, I'm going to Common Grounds on 10/5. I might find someone with an extra ticket milling around The Porch -- which would truly make me explode with joy. But even if I don't find someone, The Porch has happy hour from 6 - 10pm, 241 wells and drafts with NO cover so I'll be able to drown my sorrows while fainting hearing Against Me! play in literally the next room.

I'm begging you -- a ticket to the show costs $10 but I'd pay $20 to someone (even a crackhead) for it. Just keep your ear to the ground for me. I'm begging.

Go Relax! (And I have a question for my readers.)

By revolutionaire.
Okay ... maybe I've been under a bit of stress lately. I'll admit, I have a tendency to carry a packed schedule. And for the most part, I can do this quite well. But there are times -- and I think they come in waves -- that I need to gtfo and decompress. This is why you suddenly find out I went to the beach, or was MIA for an entire weekend. It happens. It's been happening for my entire adult life. Those who know me, either embrace it, or get over the fact that I'm not changing. But I have to confess, even for me, the schedule lately has been an overwhelming one. At the end of May I was looking at my calendar and realized from that day through the middle of July, there isn't a single vacant weekend. I wish I were kidding. As much as I love being busy and having parties, volunteering, getting together with friends for coffee, and all of that fun stuff, if I don't get to take a long, retardedly hot shower every few nights and turn my phone off from time to time, ...

What did the rug say to the floor?

By revolutionaire.
I'm just going to bust out and say it... I don't have anything to say. So it's list time again. 1. Against Me! I thought about it and thought about it and really... it's not able to be summed up in a blog. I saw them two weekends ago and still have a certain amount of euphoria clouding me. And I'm supremely happy about that. I met new -- and entirely temporary -- friends at that show. A group of guys (and a couple girls) struck up conversation with me at the bar and we spent most of the evening hanging out, sipping beer, and talking about music and the movie Independence Day. It was easily a far better time than I would have had if I hadn't made any friends. 2. I've had a handful of people offer to help me get my foot in the door with TOEFL & international schools. In fact, the sister of my co-worker returned last night from China and she said you don't even need a teaching degree -- just certification with TOEFL. She told her brother -- my co-worker...
