Got a new start on a deadend road

There has been an absence in my updates. About three of four daze. I spent the weekend in Oxnard for this years sound and fury festival. I might have mentioned this in an earlier post. This was my first year attending and I wasn't sure if I was even going to go. I planned on going about three daze prior to the show. Had little to no money due to rent and my cell phone being due, No place to stay, and not a clue on what I was going to do. The weekend turned out to be a lot of fun. We showed up and met with some friends. Ended up staying with them. Which was cool, Always fun times to be had when friends are near. Enjoyed myself, This was a mini vacation. I've been working a lot as of late. It's not like Body Piercings is a very demanding job, as of late it's been slower than usual. But it does take a toll on me. People just think I pot a hole, cram some jewelry and send a client off. It's a lot more than that. believe you me. So I took full advantage of my weekend get away with friends, great bands, circle pits, and lots and lots of stage dives. Sound and fury kicked my ass. Three daze of little sleep, horrible fast food, screaming my lungs stupid, and losing my voice was way worth the swollen right hand, bruises, cuts, scraps, sore back and legs. I'm sure some awesome pictures will surface soon enough. I dove a few time off the giant monitors, one time during Sabertooth Zombie's set with a Sponge Bob Boogie Board. That was fun times. Met a few nice people, Caught up with distant friends, spent my food money on records, and experienced a lifetime's worth of fun in one weekend. Now that I'm back into reality it feels good to reflect back. I got home late Sunday night, slept, work up and went back to sleep, woke up again and realized I was going to be late for work, showered and rode my soar legs and ass off to make it to the shop on time. Had a pretty busy past two daze. I hope this busy streak doesn't fade too soon. I have the next two daze off. I plan on doing some laundry tomorrow morning, a bit of grocery shopping, skating, then it's off the see Iron Age, Creatures, Downpresser, Mammoth Grinder, and Power Trip at Chain. I just saw most of these bands at sound and fury, but their too good to pass up. Sabertooth Zombie is making their way back down from the bay at the end of the month. Should be a great show as always.
