it's thursday, feels like saturday. life is fucking GREAT.
saw Rehab last night, i kinda feel bad, it was not a packed house, and the venue is small. very small crowd, and kinda lame crowd, which is no fun for the band. i'm so thankful they came to play though, and they put on a great show. part of the fun was watching the strange crowd, good god there are some characters living in this fucked up little town. one guy, who we called "flannel shirt" had eyes of someone who has murdered and raped children, sunken, sullen, and wild. we were sure while others went out for a smoke break, he went out for a murder break. we pictured him saying things like "i killed a man in reno just to watch him die. then i killed another one, just to hone my craft!" kid couldn't have been more than 25, and his strangely shaped girlfriend who we dubbed "floppy boobies" was dancing all over, and at one point he was sitting there and it looked like he commanded and yelled at her to go and dance on the fucking dance floor! it was odd. he was intense the whole night, although while we were on the floor, he bumped into my about three times, which i didn't mind at all, and he seemed very apologetic, sorry he bumped into me. polite. strange guy. probably very nice.
Rehab is a pretty kick ass band. this is the second time i've seen them live, i don't think i want to see them live again. either that or i want to see them live with a crowd that gets them pumped up enough to give it their all. i think they were bored, and i can understand that. if the crowd doesn't give any energy to the band, they are vampires, and the band is flat. the band needs something to feed off of. i can't blame the band, i blame the crowd on this one. i think they still put on a solid good show, and i still think the are a great band.
then there were two brokeback cowboys and their "girlfriends." the girls sat behind the guys rubbing their necks and shoulders, and the guys sat next to each other. i assume they were giving each other handjobs, not quite sure. i would be sitting next to my girlfriend, not some dude. strange.
woke up tired today, but it was such a beautiful day. got on the mountain bike and hit the trails. i meant to only ride a short bit, maybe an hour and half, and i ended up riding about three hours, it felt GREAT. saw some tourists who needed some guidance, so i rode with them and showed them some trails, and they were super fun and happy. turns out our trails are a bit difficult, and i'm actually a really strong good rider. they had minor problems on things i didn't even think about. but we all had fun and that is all that matters in cycling. the weather was great, my legs were strong, i flowed like a river, it was just all around joyful and glorious.
so the last few days i'd been in a bit of a funk, then today i went and rode my bike and suddenly life is the greatest ever. hmm....perhaps i just need to keep riding my bike.
bicycles make great things happen. i love my bicycle. and my girlfriend, who got her hair cut super short today, and later tonight i'm gonna go see it. yay.
now i should probably take a shower. and eat something.
