Brand New announces Canadian Tour…this is what I’ll be doing in August. :3
Brand New filled summer! The music gods have answered my prayers!
Late Night Rambles.
All I want is another Brand New show to go to. And not Bamboozle. Just a show
where they headline and play like 18 songs. I hope that happens soon. Even though I don’t think meeting Jesse and getting barrier will ever be topped. Just
seeing them live is enough for me because getting a ticket to them is like winning the lottery pretty much. Come back to me 2011, I got to see them on the east and west coast. It was amazing. Now I’m going to fall asleep to their discography. Thanks for the ramble tumblr land.
Leave a Message After the Beep…
Hearing that automatically makes me nervous. Then I end up leaving the most awkward, horrible voice mail in the world. I unconsciously feel like I have to speak as fast as I can while adding in uhhh between every word. Yet I always leave one.
Sound, Phrase & Fury
Ever find that one song in a cyber sea of a trillion others, that seems to fix every single calamity and emotional ailment thrown in your direction? One song, that, through some miraculous binding of strumming, bashing and thumping of noisy inventions, shakes every cell in your system and wakes up a part of your existance that felt so stagnant yet fleeting like a hazy childhood memory? The one song reminiscent of late summer nights with good friends, running wild and free. The one song that reminds you what it means to be young, hopeful, and naive.
This site is an ode to those songs, and an ode to the ones who’ve created them. The ones who write, dream and hope that, with the little song they wrote in their bedroom, would someday reach and touch someone that way. That somewhere in the simplicity of minimal lyrics, soft pretty keys, or a poignant honesty in a singer’s voice, a stranger can find their footing, and all becomes right in the world again. Somewhere in the divine chaos of that beautiful noise a stranger can find their old impassioned self and regain their old unwavering composure.
Headphones in, the whole world out.
This is what it feels like to get lost in sound.

Last Friday I went and saw City and Colour! I’ve been waiting for another show since probably 2008. It finally happened and it did not disappoint! I just wished he would’ve played O Sister. But As Much As I Ever Could and Constant Knot definitely made up for it.
Dallas told off this idiot woman. It was awesome. I also got my hands on a Bring Me Your Love vinyl! It is beyond perfect. BMYL is my favourite City and Colour album for sure. What a great show to kick off the concert year. Now Brand New, why don’t you announce some shows. Pretty please?
Whoops
So in the file room at work we have this black filing cabinet. This cabinet is very important. It holds all of our shelf schematics, rubber bands, pens, cookies haha and other important papers. This morning I zoned out and for some reason pushed the lock thinking I could pop it back out. Now the cabinet is locked and we have no key. Asjdnyjf I’m a dummy!
Keeping up with my “everything sucks” mood…..
Trips like this are probably hardly going to happen this year. It upsets me more then words can describe. I guess it’s time to find a new thing.
I promise I won’t blog again until it’s something positive. There’s too much negativity going on.
Masochistic
“Tending to be self-destructive.”
That is one definition for that word and pretty much me in a nutshell. The other day I learned some information that now I wish I hadn’t. It’s my fault though, I was asking the questions. They say when you go digging for stuff, you’re usually going to find it, and not like it. I can’t shake it though, it’s been tearing me apart all weekend. I know I should just try to brush this off my shoulders but I’m having a really hard time doing it. I know this was never intended to break me like this but I always tend to think about the bad before the good. Or way over think things and come up with the worst possible scenarios. How horrible is that. But every time I tell myself to stop thinking about it, I tend to just think about it even more. I know this is really vague, but this is my blog and I can do what I want. Blaaah.
On a side note, I went and worked some church service today. Last year Tim Horton’s got slammed so they decided that they were going to make other coffee booths through out the concourses to try to ease the hit Tim’s was going to take. Yeah, that didn’t work at all. I made $1.50 in my booth. One coffee. And to top it all off, I lost the stupid dollar that we made! That’s my luck right there. Thankfully the cash room lady had an extra dollar laying around and threw it in for me. I was very thankful because I didn’t want everyone to know I was a dumb ass. I’m ready for this weekend to be over.
This is day 3 of 10 straight and I really don’t mind it. Keeping busy is just what I need right now. Even though December kicked my ass. I guess it was just so hard because of all the Jet’s games. They got so repetitive and annoying, but hey it was good money. I shouldn’t complain, but it’s something I’m good at haha.
Early Morning Thoughts.
I will always be second best.
