alrighty kids, it's the "hey, i'm back from the warped tour post". as this will be unoriginally titled. pretty amazing if you ask me. headed down there friday, crashed at a friends house, then the next day saw the tour. senses fail, emery, underoath, saosin, motion city soundtrack, chiodios, saves the day (playing acoustic i might add), emanuel, the academy is..., moneen, and about a million cute punk girls were all there. it was fantastic. there are some good stories, including blake getting pooped on by a bird because he pissed off a veegan. good times kids good times. p.s. i took my lip ring out. yeah i know only lasted about a month. but that thing was frikin annoying.

that's right kids, it's that time of year again. it's time for mosh pits, cute punk girls, sweat, rocking out in the 97 degree texas heat for 10 hours, and some of the best bands on the planet. i leave tommorow, it will be fantastic. sure i don't really have enough money to go...but that's never stopped me before. warped tour is always a highlight of the summer and this one should be frikin sweet. so i leave you with the five songs i anticipate most hearing at this year's tour. i'll be back with pics and stories. cya suckas.
Top Five Most Anticipated Songs at the 2006 Warped Tour (in no particular order)

"as i'm talking my words slip to the floor, and they crawl through your legs, slide under the back door, rendering me freakish and dazed"
2. Underoath "It's Dangerous Business Walking Our Your Front Door"
"people with gather, to remember such a day, as when the flames grew high as the trees, and world was stopped for you and me"
3. Senses Fail "Bite to Break Skin"
"eyes shot from constant visions, angels are rendered useless, good has lost it's heart"
4. Saosin "Seven Years"
"don't treat me, i'm to blame, sorry, i'm sorry, i'm sorry, so don't treat me, like i ever accused you"
5. From First To Last "Kiss Me, I'm Contagious"
"two barrels and a whole lot of band, and when i'm done with it, this town will never be the same"

alrighty kids, i'm back. camp was fantastic. classic camp goodness. no special stories or anything like that, but a solid year. lindsey's gone back. she does like a month....rediculous. she is also an official JBU student so i'm pretty excited for her. and i'm back at satan's workshop (we sell textbooks as a front), not excited about that but i do enjoy the cashflow. the humidity is so bad i think i could swim to work. that is....if i was an olympic swimmer because it's like 20 miles away, and let's face it people...i just ain't swimmin that far. makin some end of the summer plans, hopefully all works out. hung out with some college buddies saturday night that i hadn't seen in a while, good to see them. anyway, i gotta go lounge around the house and waste my afternoon away. i'll leave you with these 4 thoughts,
1. connor oburst is an incredible writer (see quote that started this post)
2. i got my lip pierced (pics soon)
3. i'm ready for college to start (by "college" i don't mean classes, and everyone in college knows what i'm talking about)
4. world cup soccer rules (U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!) | | |
