Last Night

Well, its 2:51 p.m. and I've just woken up. I don't really care though because I don't really have anything to do today and I woke up to the beautiful sight of snow falling. I love to watch the snow fall, its so peaceful and calming. Anyway, I'm here to write about yesterday. I planned to write about it yesterday but I got home at like 1:30 and didn't sleep til like 3. Yesterday was pretty great, but I still thought it'd be better. (I'm starting to realize I'm becoming a malcontent towards a lot of things and I'm not liking that change.) Anyway, yesterday started off with me and my friend Toby going to the University of Delaware's men's lacrosse game against the Manhattan Jaspers. (what a name) Anyway, we left at halftime cause it was SO cold and they were winning 13-1! The final score was 20-5 if you were curious. Anyway, we went back to my house and watched some episodes of Scrubs, then picked up my friend Kyle, and we were off to get my cousin Chris. We got him, and actually spent a bit of time at his place with him and my Uncle, who I refer to as Tha Fab. Ok, so now we're off to South Street and the TLA. We had to get there at 5:45 because we were gonna be able to meet Anberlin. So it's like 5:50 on South Street and I can't find a parking spot to save my life so I just pull into the first one I see. So I show up at the TLA at like 5:50 and I'm thinking I missed meeting anberlin so I'm stressing. Turns out we were like tenth in line and they didn't let us in til like 6:20. So I'm an idiot. But finally getting to meet anberlin was so worth it. The lead singer Stephen was definitely the nicest famous person I'd met, he didn't just sign my lyric book, he actually talked to me. I only wish it could have been longer cause he was just so humble and modest, and I love people like that. Anyway, we talked about the album and I even told him about how I made this blog because of him and he was like "Oh my God, you read my blog, that's so awesome! And you made one because of me, that's so cool. Inspiration man." And I was so giddy over meeting him, I forgot to talk to the drummer like I wanted lol. But I did get to talk to their guitarist Joey as well and he's awesome too. So yeah, after they finished signing we were able to get a picture with Joey and Stephen. (I pray it comes out good!) Anyway, after that, I picked up a sweet hoodie and t-shirt and then we had to wait like an hour for the concert to start. Jonezetta was first and the were ok. They had one or two good songs but they all seemed so repetitive. Anyway, Meg and Dia followed and they were SOOOOOOO bad. Oh my God, what a waste of time. Bayside was next and they were pretty bad too. And their fans are retarded. It was funny cause the Bayside fans were goin nuts but the people there just to see anberlin were like "What the fuck is wrong with these people? How can you be into this music?" I was pissed too though. The only Bayside song I like, "Blame It On Bad Luck" was pretty bad. (Check that song out by the way.) Finally, Anberlin came on! And they were great of course. Their set seemed a little short though, I guess it was only an hour, and we were all expecting it to be longer since they just put out an album and they were headlining and cause they hyped the shit out of this tour, so that bummed me a little. Afterwards I was pretty pissed cause I got a 31$ ticket for parking in a loading zone, so once again, I'm an idiot. But all in all it was a pretty good day and night. That is til I got home. I starting talking to my friend Amanda and we were talking about the concert and I mentioned how this new album was pretty religious and how I saw this girl praying behind me at the concert and how it sorta weirded me out. And she went on this tangent, it was sort of like a lecture about God and Christianity. And she was talking about the exact things that make me uncomfortable, which is probably mainly the one-track mindedness a lot of people have with religion and politics as well. And the reason it makes me uncomfortable, hell downright scares me, is because, think of how many wars and deaths have come from people who refused to see to see the other side of the picture. It's people who are too rooted in their beliefs that can be dangerous. Now I am a Christian, and proud of that. But I mean look at some of the things hardcore Christians around the world, and in this very country are doing. Condemning gays, alienating people who have abortions to name a few. It absolutely leads to madness and scares me like nothing else. So back to my conversation with Amanda. Ok so she's going on about this for like I donno, maybe half an hour, and some of the things she's saying are the things that worry me. But as I'm reading all this I'm torn between saying something as she pours her guts about her most inner beliefs, or sit there and freak out at the things I'm reading off my computer screen. So finally I say Can we change the subject and she's like yeah why didn't you just ask? And I'm like I didn't want to make you feel like I didn't care or anything and she's like Well ya just did, and then immediately signs off. So I'm feeling like a total jackass, even though I know I shouldn't cause I didn't do anything wrong and I was polite and everything. It's just me and Amanda were really close but haven't been for a long time, really not until a few weeks ago and we were having these great conversations and things were becoming like they were before and then this happened and I feel like things are all fucked up again. I certainly hope not. Later.
