Survived my 1st Slipknot pit. Threw some elbows. Avoided drunk dudes. Only burned by one cigarette. I doubt I will do that again but the energy was surreal. I fucking love seeing that band live.

Still can't get over this. In the same bar as one of the Rolling Stones. This is also probably my biggest regret. Not pushing thru to actually talk with him.

Sums up how I felt about tonight’s episode

[facelessprodigal]

So damn tired but worth it. I’ve seen every single Tremonti show in the state of Florida. All of them, even the free $5 show. I think they get the lifetime fan thing.

People mistake my love and respect for Tremonti as lust. Far from it. He’s my favorite musician of all time. And seeing the guys in the band with him come from opening act to getting recognition for their hard work makes me proud. 

It’s love, not lust. Recognize the difference.

Being friends with a former couple is short of torture. Can’t I just be the fun friend vs the listener?

Coworker today: My husband goes through a bag of tostitos rolls like nothing

Me: Is he on that weed?

Coworker: ::silence:: then awkward giggle

Me: No one eats an entire bag of tostitos in a day w/o the munchies

Got tired of people making comments about me going to concerts. I hid all facebook photo albums that are concert related from these people. Comments I got were like "do you ever work" or "must be nice" (from some moms) or "sketchy people." Wow. Really? So people who like music are rich and don't work and must be doing illegal things.

Shiprocked 2015. Another epic vacation in the books.

The artist Barry Blitt on his inspiration for next week’s cover:

It struck me that King’s vision was both the empowerment of African-Americans, the insistence on civil rights, but also the reconciliation of people who seemed so hard to reconcile.

I spent more time last night talking to the opening bands and friends in bands than I did watching Seether. Oops.

What's the difference between posting photos with a band vs friends posting photos with their kids, cars etc? That's just MY life vs yours. Are you "obsessed" with your kids? You must be if that's how you judge me. I'll start judging on the same criteria.

[facelessprodigal]

12-year-old girl: I don't want kids when I grow up.

Society: You'll change your mind when you get older. You're only 12. You're too young to know what you want.

16-year-old girl: I'm pregnant.

Society: How could you be so stupid? Do you know anything about safe sex? You should be ashamed.

20-year-old woman: I'm a single mother with an infant son.

Society: You should've gone to college first. You need a stable career before you can support a child.

33-year-old woman: I'm married and my spouse and I both have stable careers. I have two young daughters now.

Society: You're not staying home? Who's going to take care of them? You're just going to put them in day care while you work? That's selfish of you. You can't expect to raise decent kids with a full-time job.

45-year-old woman: I just had my first child.

Society: Why would you have a child when you're that old? Do you realize the health risks of being pregnant at your age? When your kid is a teenager you'll be a senior citizen. That's inconsiderate of you.

60-year-old woman: I haven't had any children.

Society: Your life must be so unfulfilling. Is there something wrong with you? Why didn't you want kids? How strange.

too fucking true. society places too many stigmas, labels, identities around something that's been going on since the beginning of humanity. STFU

GENERIC HORROR MOVIE 5: THE RECKONING

where’s my oscar

[facelessprodigal]

Basic horror movie shit.

I feel a little silly now talking about bands when nearly half the people I've met over the past few years are friends with said bands. I'll just talk about cats. No one is friends with Grumpy Cat, I think.

Since I can’t afford to go to these conventions, I live vicariously through videos… I really like the little dance they’ve got choreographed there
