We're touring with them in November. I just watched their set here at this festival we're playing. Definitely the best/most inspiring heavy band I've seen in like... 6 years. Probably since Bleeding Kansas. But really probably ever. Holy FUCK.

How I Feel!

Greenfield Open Air

The music bounced off the mountains! In the Alps there are always there random clearings near the top of a mountain, with a sideways green field and a little wooden house in the middle. I want to get one of those.

We played to probably around 3000 people. It was good. Then I got more free shoes from the Macbeth girl and beer and an Atticus shirt and fuuuuck blink made some cool clothes. We watched Gallows and they were awesome. I was walking back to the backstage and Social Distortion was playing Story of my Life. In 10th grade my year-long crush Amy Murphy was in love with them and I remember something about her and all her cool friends going to see them. Haha I wanted to be going so I could talk to her about it and know a lot about the band so she would think I was cool. Then 12 years later I walked by and didn't even go on the stage to watch. Not that I'm too cool now or they're not a good band or that I still wanted to impress her... I just didn't even think about it until later and it was just FUCKING WEIRD!!! Out of everything that could have happened I am this weird random guest-appearance minor character in the world live heavy-ish music circuit thing, which is the size of like... a big high school.

I know this post already sounds conceited and name-droppy so I guess I'll just blow it out of the water. I was thinking about who actually gets the most complete perspective of the real world, of like what Earth and humanity actually is, like what type of person... There's truckers. And some US bands that can't afford hotels every night. But really anyone confined to one country/state/city obviously has no chance. You can eliminate almost everyone besides people who travel a lot, to a lot of different places. There's like... missionaries but they can be picked off easily. They live within their own religion and base their life in it and think they have something figured out, so they're gone.
There are rich travellers. But they eat at restaurants, stay at hotels, or camp. They never meet anyone real. There's businessmen, but they only go to westernized cities with some sort of business infrastructure, and probably only like a few different places and stay with other westerners in hotels. There's actors... they're sheltered within the western luxury community too, but they've seen some shit I guess and have the disillusionment with the sheer amount of people and their mass need for stupidity and entertainment. I mean, actors who get it and know they're status is random. Not actors who think they are important. There's military. Some of those guys have seen some shit. Especially people who have been in wars. But do they see humanity for what it "really is" or worse than it is? I guess that's what war movies are supposed to find out. Anyway, they're just surrounded by military all day. It's not complete. Politicians. Like Obama. Maybe he kind of gets it but he never goes to real people's houses and has to think about the US and himself too much for his perspective to approach reality. Then there are people who sit and think all day, like good philosophers and authors who have to make assumptions about the other billions of people in the world that are probably right. They might get a good idea of the world, but probably in too abstract of a way to be useful for anything. There are crazy people who have rode their bike from Barrow, Alaska to the southern-most point of South America for 18 months. They are pretty high up, but I still think they meet a limited cross-section of types of people. Then secret agents who have to go everywhere and blend in with the population and speak fucking 20 languages. Those guys probably win. But my point is, in second place is me. I have the second most complete perspective in the world.

Just kidding but not completely.

It's nice to not annoy people you care about and people you don't know at all. Very few people have mastered that, and if you think about it, all your favorite favorite people are the people who never annoy you, who never have stupid issues or needs or requirements or to be excused. People who can just exist. There's a 3-way correlation between how many strong opinions you have, how outspoken (stupid) you are, and how fucking annoying you are.

Never say "In my experience _____"
Never pretend you are thinking about something through silence and facial expression.
Never think you deserve something aka don't be a fucking pussy.
Don't be afraid someone is going to kill you, be afraid you might kill them.

Annoying people who you know and don't like or people who annoy you is ok.

I'm just bored.

It's pretty.
