As some of you know I am the band manager for Suck*ah Punched. Last night was their first show, they played at a ska fest at Jerry's Pizza. They rocked the show. It was so amazing to see the great response from the crowd. Apparently they impressed Tim Gardea because he is allowing them to play the Aiden show at Jerry's Pizza on november 12. Again we need to sell tickets. The drummer was a band newbie and it was his very first time onstage. I am so proud of him he did a great job. I played the role of cinematographer(sp?). I will be getting together a nice edited version of the video I made to post up on here and on myspace. Things are going well and I can only hope the band can keep getting better and "mastering their craft". We are all excited to be playing with Aiden and we are also super nervous. If you guys are up for it come show some love for Suck*ah Punched, support local music, and see Aiden. Hope to see you all at the show and if you need tickets message me :D

Ok. Well I am at my receptionist job today and this guy comes in. I notice he keeps looking at me after I've given him his paper work to fill out and such. I pretend I don't kow spanish hoping it would deter him from speaking to me. I failed cause he lured me oin by asking me something in Spanish >.< Well he asked if he could have some candy,in Spanish (there is a container of it on the desk) , and I say yes in spanish out of habit. He then proceeds to take the whole container and pretends to take it which immediately annoys me, but I smile and laugh. He then blabbers on about how he like the red starbursts and take the last two, which also annoys me cause I wanted one of the red ones >.< I look at my computer and start this post and notice he is still looking at me and i ignore him not wanting him to start talking again. Then he notices the promise ring my boyfriend gave me and says "You can't possibly be married!" to which i simply reply "No". Why is it that people assume I'm married? Engaged I can understand, but married? Luckily before he could continue to talk to me my boss took him away to do his testing. and now he's back and staring! I can't stand him staring. I'm not here to entertain him. I greeted him, I gave him his paper work and I laughed at his stupid "joke". I hav fullfilled my duty as a receptionist now please leave me the hell alone! plskthanks!

Ok so I finally got a show for my friend's band. It's the Nov. 1 Fishbone show at Jerry's pizza. Now we just need to sell a minimum of 30 tickets to get on that night. So if you guys are planning on going to the show please send me a message and I'll get you the tickets. They are $14 each. I am so excited and stressed because well I'm a spaz. I just sent Tim a message asking him when and where I could pick up the tickets so we could start selling. So please if you are interested in the show let me know so I can sell more tickets. I really want to help the band make it, at least locally. *does a little spaz dance* Oh I'm just so excited :D
P.S. The band myspace is on my profile!! Suck*ah Punched! We will hopefully be getting pictures done soon. :D

Well it is 1:55 and I get off work in 5 minutes. However, I know these 5 minutes will drag until eternity because that is just how time works. Why?! I don't know, but I do hate it. I just wanna go home and relax for a while before I go to my OTHER job later tonight. I also need to find my work shirt. Work means money and I know I wished for all these hours. I just want a bit of a break and a burger. I've been craving a burger and I had one the other day but it wasn't the one. My cravings can be very specific sometimes and it annoys me to no end. My bosses all know I work 3 part time jobs so I hope they don't hold it against me when I finally fall apart and die and they have to find my replacement. Oh goody 1 more minute and I'm out. Edit and POST!

Band management is serious business and apparently I have been voted into this business by some friends of mine. I am now band manager for Suck*ah Punch and I have no idea what the heck I am doing. I want to help them, lord knows they need to get more organized, but problem is I am not sure what to do. The only thing they have expressed to me is that they want to get shows, but that has proved challenging due to work. All the members work and getting them to agree is also an issue. I really just want to grab them and shake them ,but I don't see that helping any. I would like to get them to record a demo. Yes I know that costs money however they all have jobs so maybe if they pitched in and actually put some effort into it they could get their shit together and make a decent demo. They all help in putting the songs together, they all taught themselves to play, and they are fun to be with. Now if only I could figure out how to get them to get it all together so they can start playing shows. Oh and I need to get some pictures of them and fix their freakin myspace. Gah I hate being in charge...no I don't I really love it, but geeze it's a lot of work. It has been a long while since I last posted something on here. I missed my blogging. Any who since my last post things have changed. I got a new job, turned 21, got a bad hair cut, and most importantly realized I need to get my stuff together. September is gonna be a good month for me. I have plans and the realization that I am now an adult, a real adult not just an 18 year old on a power trip, has given me a new sense of being. I have started to re-evaluate how I live my life and how much my decision/actions truly affect other people. Besides plans on improving my life I also have plans to go out and enjoy my youth. This Friday I plan on going to see the MIllionaires at the Dome since I missed them at Rockin' Roots. THe Kern County Fair, Burn the Witch , First Friday, and various shows are all on my list of events. I hope to see some of my fellow Bakotopians there. Now that I am 21 I can see the shows that before I would have missed because the are at a club or bar. Now to convince my friends and boyfriend to go with me :D I need new music. LOTS of new music. If you have any suggestions please feel free to let me know. All genres, I don't care if they are local or if they already graced the cover of rolling stone or if they died fifty years ago. I love the music I have now but I want something new, something fresh, and most importantly something different. More posts to come, and hopefully they'll come soon :D

Well it seems I was the lucky winner of the free tickets! My best friend, my good friend, my boyfriend, and I will all be at the show tonight. Most likely I'll write some kind of something on it. I hope to see some Bakotopians there tonight. I'll be wandering about taking pictures and scribbling madly in my journal. For those of you not going to the show tonight, what will you be doing? Anything exciting? Illegal? Fun? Anything at all? Have a good night all :D Look at the world around. What do you see? Ok. Now watch the video I posted along with this, then tell me what you see. Do you see the how our own self involement leaves others with less than us starving and poor? Do you see that hobo as a drunk or as a man who has lost all hope? Do you see that hummer as a luxury or an environmental plagueDo you see how you can help those around you and the world? I want to be a better person. I want to change the world. Will you help me? Hey lady why not put down that designer purse and donate to a local homeless shelter. Hey sir you don't really need custom carseat covers do you? Why not spend that money trying to make your house a more eco-friendly living space? Going green and helping the poor is hard. Going green can be costly at times and less convienent, but a little hard work would help this fast food nation drop some of that fat right? Preconceived notions about the homeless such as they are all drunks and druggies prevent a lot of people from giving a hand out. Why not take them into a restaurant or supermarket and buy them the food or toiletries they need? All talk and no action gets people nowhere. With this post I hope to reach people and maybe help them help others. I want to change the world. Will you help me? A Person, A Paper, A Promise by Dr. Earl Reum Once on a yellow piece of paper with green lines he wrote a poem And he called it "Chops" because that was the name of his dog And that's what it was all about And his teacher gave him an A and a gold star And his mother hung it on the kitchen door and read it to his aunts That was the year Father Tracy took all the kids to the zoo And he let them sing on the bus And his little sister was born with tiny toenails and no hair And his mother and father kissed a lot And the girl around the corner sent him a Valentine signed with a row of X's and he had to ask his father what the X's meant And his father always tucked him in bed at night And was always there to do it Once on a piece of white paper with blue lines he wrote a poem And he called it "Autumn" because that was the name of the season And that's what it was all about And his teacher gave him an A and asked him to write more clearly And his mother never hung it on the kitchen door because of its new paint And the kids told him that Father Tracy smoked cigars And left butts on the pews And sometimes they would burn holes That was the year his sister got glasses with thick lenses and black frames And the girl around the corner laughed when he asked her to go see Santa Claus And the kids told him why his mother and father kissed a lot And his father never tucked him in bed at night And his father got mad when he cried for him to do it. Once on a paper torn from his notebook he wrote a poem And he called it "Innocence: A Question" because that was the question about his girl And that's what it was all about And his professor gave him an A and a strange steady look And his mother never hung it on the kitchen door because he never showed her That was the year that Father Tracy died And he forgot how the end of the Apostle's Creed went And he caught his sister making out on the back porch And his mother and father never kissed or even talked And the girl around the corner wore too much makeup That made him cough when he kissed her but he kissed her anyway because that was the thing to do And at three a.m. he tucked himself into bed his father snoring soundly That's why on the back of a brown paper bag he tried another poem And he called it "Absolutely Nothing" Because that's what it was really all about And he gave himself an A and a slash on each damned wrist And he hung it on the bathroom door because this time he didn't think he could reach the kitchen.
