Baltimore Vday

Picked these up (minus the 3 Blacklisted 7"s) at a record store in Towson, Maryland before the Blacklisted/Ruiner show in Baltimore. I don't remember the name of the store. It was a very awesome record store. I would like to return when I have more money. They had so many records I wanted.
Tony, Mary, Nick, and I enjoyed sushi at a rotating sushi bar in Towson. It was cute! The sushi was decent! It was also cheap..that's always a plus.
The show was a lot of fun! Ruiner played a love song set and it was great! I wish I could see them play more. Once I get the funds, I will take more trips to Baltimore to see them. Blacklisted was perfect, as usual. They only played like 3 new songs. I was hoping for more. Both sets made me happy I chose Baltimore for Valentine's Day over a little boy. Hardcore > boys. I didn't really watch Pulling Teeth or Strike Anywhere. I like Pulling Teeth but the preaching kills me. I wasn't about to stand near the stinkyness of Strike Anywhere's fans.
After the show we met up with some of their friends to eat at a shitty diner that I will never go to again. It was an experience though.
I like Baltimore. I've never hanged out in the city itself before, just passed through. Driving home at 5:30am on no sleep really sucked though. The drive was awful. I couldn't keep my eyes open for longer than 30 minutes. I made it 2 1/2hrs in before I had to stop and sleep for another hour, haha. In the end, I didn't mind as much. I enjoyed "hanging out" more than sleeping. ;)

The future..

I am looking forward to so many things!! This is kind of a first in a long time.

1. Blacklisted & Ruiner for Valentine's day! Hopefully seeing Mary and meeting her husband, Nick, Hannah, and Tony!
2. Turning 23 (ups&downs I guess)! I don't know why I'm excited about this. Just sort of am. I hope to spend my birthday eating sushi and drinking massive amounts of alcohol. I don't know where that will be yet because I have class from 1-10pm. Weekend will be good I hope.
3. United Blood! Seeing awesome bands, in a city I've grown to love, with the best of my friends. I am so excited to see everyone! <3
4. Closer to getting my degree. Another semester closer to getting my degree.
5. NYC with my brother! in May Bryan and I are going to New York City (my first time!) to see Jon Stewart doing taping of The Daily Show. I hope to eat some good food.
6. Summer days spent at the beach with Ashhates! Weekends will be spent on the beach hopefully on Chincoteague with Ashley. Getting tan, swimming, and moshing to Mental.
7. Road trips! Enough said.
8. Sound & Fury-Cali! Buying a plane ticket soon for S&F in Cali. I haven't been to California since I was like 3. I am very freaking excited.

Sushi, son!

One aspect of tonight was sushi time with Erika. Erika is my new friend in Richmond. She is pretty awesome. She has this awesome pug named Oden.
Anyways, she taught me how to make sushi. We were too lazy to cut them in pieces so we just ate sushi burritos. Really though, sushi burrito, it doesn't get any realer than that.
Disclaimer: I didn't bring my camera with me tonight so this was taken on my POS phone. I did take photos today of my friend Ashley's friend's new great dane puppy, Helio. I will post those tomorrow.

Not to mention tonight I went to one of the craziest shows I've been to in awhile. Louisville cannot hold a candle to Richmond's hardcore scene. An update will be made on this show tomorrow maybe.

At 11am I have an interview for a position as a Director of Enrichment programs at a small preschool. Today I had a follow up interview at The Primrose School of Atlee. I think the interview went well. She is calling me tomorrow to let me know.

I am broke. It would be cool to start working again.


Goodnight!
Oh & I love Trial so much. "TIMES WILL CHANGE BUT THE TRUTH IS THE SAME!"

ps.
I met Josh & Erika's friend tonight and I must say I've developed a little school girl crush on him. Josh says "He's got his grown man on." Ok, I'm done being silly.
