You Can't Come Soon Enough For Me

I have finally found the time to write this blog and I hope it is as juicy as the ideas planted in my head over the course of the week that I wanted to include once I finally had the chance to write it.

Moving
It's pretty hard to put what moving was like in words. It was way too stressful. In essentially 24 hours, we packed up and moved everything in the entire house, garage and backyard to our new home. I was the only one who had packed all my belongs in advanced (3 weeks that is) and forced to live off of the same set of clothes until the day we actually moved. I'll admit that the lack of sleep and lack of planning by both of my parents did get to me to snap at certain times. On the day of moving, both of my parents had 0% of their things packed. Every drawer, shelf and closet was still full. I think the worst part of he entire move was having to wait 4 hours for my step dad to pack up his office in the garage. From 12:30 am until 4:30 am, we all just stood around waiting for him to finish. Once we were done moving everything 100% at 10:30 am, my step dad says, "Well, now we know for next time, we need to take an entire week to move." No we fucking do not man, next time YOU need to have everything packed and ready to go in advanced when the time comes.

Neighborhood
The neighborhood is something new for both Crunchbite and I. The place is so dead and deserted that I could see my self going insane here, but at the same time, I like it. Neighbors don't appear to really talk to each other and everyone just stays indoors. I'm getting Crunchbite into the habit of going on nighttime walks and I believe he's slowly getting into it. I think he likes it and I have to admit that I like it as well. It's pretty relaxing to be just the two of us walking down empty lifeless streets with horrible lighting. It was pretty interesting today because as we walked by the park, 3 cop cars stopped next to us asking if we had seen a large group of individuals just hanging out around the pool. Crunchbite and I had the same "what the hell is going on here" reaction to the cop cars. It was priceless to say the least.

My Room
My room is small but I really like it. There is just enough space to hang my guitar, have two dressers, the stereo and my bed. The ceiling is also high enough that I'm going to get a lantern style lamp. What I don't like about the room is that it's all white. I did a decent job covering the walls with posters, which looks a lot better than empty white walls (hehe "White Walls" by Between the Buried and Me just started playing in my head).

My Pals
Overall, this was a great week to hang out with my friends and put the moving stress behind me. Gio, Bob, David and Lawerance are some of the funniest guys at 1 in the morning (and at every other time of the day). I hung out a lot with America too. We got some delicious pizza on Wednesday before going to the Whiskey-A-Go-Go to see TYR, Moonsorrow and Korpiklaani. Sometime during the week, I was washing dishes and Zoya comes up to me and says "Wow Jazz, you would know how to wash dishes. You're so Mexican." On Thursday I saw my old neighbor Ed. We had some good laughs remembering memories from the summer.

Concert
Going to the Whiskey and seeing pagan metal was super epic. All three bands were great live (we were not able to make it in time for the first two acts thanks to my crappy knowledge of freeway exits. On the bill there were 5 bands). Although this show was nowhere near close of Paganfest III back in April, it was pretty close. I think pagan metal is just my type of music. Always energy filling and great for cycling. There were a bunch of girls like 5 feet high and I was worried for a good amount of the show that I was going to accidentally elbow one of them in the face. I could really have cared less about them until they were the main cause for re injuring my knee. Either you fucking get in the pit or you don't. None of the pitting in place shit.

Soccer
Watching Chivas win last night was too stressful of a game. Seeing Marco Fabian get injured and then the ref having a horrible double standard for fouls. They struggled all game and were lucky to pull off the 2-1 win. Arsenal on the other hand, were just smokin' oakin' in England. 6-1 thrashing over Southampton (it is pronounced just like it's read: South-ampt-uhn) continue to show this team is definitely ready to fight for the title. On Tuesday is Arsenal vs Montpellier in the Champions League and on Saturday is Arsenal vs Manchester City. These are important season games so early. I'm just so excited.

ParaNorman
Today I took myself to see ParaNorman. All my friends went with someone else on their own time to see the movie so I figured that being my own date was just the thing to do (besides the fact that I had yet to see it). The movie was made by the same people who made Coraline and it had that feeling from the very beginning. The movie was hilarious and easily the best I've seen all year. I thought the whole supernatural vibe of the movie was just awesome. In modern culture, there is a pretty fine when it comes to mentioning witchcraft and basing themes around death and revenge in the form of a super powerful witch murdered around the time of the Salem Witch Trials. But all I know is that the movie is exceptional and I plan on adding it to my collection next to Coraline when it comes out on DVD.

Dark
Tegan and Sara aren't really thing when it comes to music.  They're definitely two extremely talented women but slow songs ain't my thing. Anyways, over the last handful of years, one of their songs has stuck with me, "Dark Come Soon." I really like it because of the depressing tone of the song both instrumentally and lyrically wise. Moving into my room just randomly reminded me of the song.

Dark, you can't come soon enough for me
Saved, from one more day of misery
Everything I love
Get back for me now
Everyone I love
I need you now
Don't forget a million miles for me
Safe and another day passed by me
Everything I love
Get back for me now
Everyone I love
I need you now
So I conned,
I lied I lied to me too
(so what?)
So I conned,
I lied I lied to me too
(so what?)
Hold out for the ones you know will love you
Hide out from the ones you know will love you
You, you too
Hike to the edge and barely there
Slow
To make my move, I'm almost there
Everything I say I say to me first
Everything I do I do to me first
So what, I lied I lied to me too
(so what?)
So what, I lied I lied to me too
Hold out for the ones you know will love you
Hide out from the ones you know will love you
You, you too
Dark you can't come soon enough for me
