What I miss most about college...

I miss the random nights. I miss the leaving your house at 9 pm, knowing you have no less then three places you have to drink at that night. I miss almost always going to live shows of bands I have never heard. I miss seeing experimental films made by people I sorta know. I miss the chaos. The pure unknowing of what is going to happen on any given night.

Its all so planned now. I go out, get trashed or half trashed and go home. One bar. not even parties anymore, just bars. Which, not terrible, but its always the same bars. And that would rock if we knew random people at those bars. But we don't. At least, I don't.

I miss the fact that a night like last night, is something that gets planned 4 days ahead of time. That I can't just have it happen, or make it happen. And it makes me sad. I wonder, do other cities have more Chaos? Maybe I should move to Tokyo. Things seem crazy there.

Friday, the day that was:
(4.30)Left work by giving that hole the finger and leaving. Yes, I did get to work late.
(7.45)Left to go to a bar for free beer
(8.00)Realized I left the address for said free beer at home.
(8.45)Got to free beer bar
(8.55)Realize there are 5 minutes of free beer left, and decide to stop finding parking
(8.56)Paul orders another beer in the bar
(8.56:30)I call Paul to meet me out front of the bar.
(9.05)Paul comes out after 4 laps of block
(9.15)Get to Mike Kelly's place for a beer and a look at "Blowback". A series being put together by Team Filo. www.teamfilo.com That's not a hyper link because the site doesn't exist yet. I will keep you posted.
(10.15)Get to Empty bottle
(10.17)Am officially floored by these dudes
(11.00)Menomena* starts.
(11.01)Am floored.
(12.00)These guys get going.
(12.15)Decide they are good, will get album. (album is good.)

After the show, Paul and I chatted with one of the two keyboardists from Canasta. It was rad.

And then I went home. Got into bed around 2.30am. It was, of course, great times.

And now, winding up for tonight. Its a bar! With people! I love exclamation points! That is a terribly old joke!!

Fuck, some days, I really hate myself. Just, FUCK! Damnable points.
