3 a.m. on the city street when the air is sweet

Another late night spent with Jessica complete with a visit to Wal-Mart and much retardedness. And of course AFI-ness. The CD’s official release was/is today. Lucky people in California could actually go to a certain record store at midnight and be there with AFI for a signing and who knows what else. I wonder how big the crowd of fans really was.

I love wandering around and driving late at night when the moon’s out and the fog thickens and stretches its tendrils out onto the roads, trying to grasp for a companion to hold in the desolate darkness. While it can be rather unsettling and the mind plays many tricks, especially if you’re alone, it can also hold an unmistakable aura of peace, mystique, and a feeling of completeness that only comes in those silent times when you can smell the earth and feel the wind without interruption of other beings. Your favorite songs always sound and feel best in that moment too. That reminds me, I can’t wait to be able to visit the beach in the middle of the night and wait for sunrise.

Have you ever stared at yourself in the mirror in pure wonderment and confusion at the craziness that is the human body? It’s so strange…Existence is plain weird.

I get fiber optic internet AND cable TV installed later today. I was excited about the Internet, and when I found out about having cable again after so long, my anticipation was at least doubled. Though I must admit, for the most part, not having cable wasn’t so horrible. At night anyway. During the day all that played was mostly soap operas and those TV courts until about 4 when Oprah came on, and the news. After Oprah all the shows start. That 70’s Show, Sex and the City, etc., until about 8 when the regular shows start. With shows like Boston Legal, Grey’s Anatomy, Desperate Housewives, and other decent shows, cable isn’t terribly missed. I hope we get the Fuse music channel…that was a good channel from what I remember. But once I have regular internet again, I could easily do without cable for much longer, if not forever.

Oh, I almost forgot. Warped Tour is coming up on the 23rd. It’ll be my first one and I’m pretty excited. Though, I wish a lot more of my friends were going. As it stands only Marcy and I are attending. Jessica is driving up to Myrtle Beach to see AFI at the House of Blues on the 28th so the lucky bitch (said with love) doesn’t have any money to spare . I wish I could go with her. But I have two obstacles. One, money. Two, Michael flies in the 29th and I obviously have to be here to pick him up from the airport and get to Clearwater. Hopefully Yany can buy a ticket and come. And Sean too. Concerts aren’t meant to attend by yourself.

Alright, it’s getting to be late morning and I need to take a little nap so that I can make it through the day. I wonder if I should go with Jessica to Circuit City to buy Decemberunderground and get the poster and CD picture insert? Well, she’s buying it. Even though she already has the one she had pre-ordered on the internet. But she wants an extra booklet to take to get signed by the band in Myrtle Beach, a backup CD in case the first gets inevitably scratched, and the extras you get when you buy it at Circuit City. Plus, she says it’s supposed to be only $9 or $10. That’s pretty damn cheap. Meh it’s already about the time I’d have to get up if I were to go with her…I think that I’m going to sleep instead. Oh wells.
