So yesterday was a rather fun day. Well, at least some of it. So, Cinco de Mayo. It was the Luchadores' 2 year anniversary and we were excited to be playing a show out of town for a crowd we knew respected us. However, who'd've thunk it, once again we were the outcast band thrown in the mix of a bunch of METAL (not hardcore) bands. Well after finding our way through the crowded streets, we got our stuff unpacked and into the venue. Nice place really. Then before we knew it, we were told we were playing around 11:00. So we waited and then suddenly we're finally getting onstage around 12:30. Now the crowd has dispersed and we're playing in front of the people that WE brought.
Needless to say the ride home sucked without company and thoughts racing through my head about our crappy show.
But anyways, this post as you can see is not for the Luchadores. I just thought I'd let people in on some band news.
anyways, i wanted to do something a little different. yesterday, my real fun was happening with my best friends. the day started with holly [geno] and jay coming over to hang out before i took off to corpus. we chilled for a bit and once chrysta arrived the girls went about their make-up routines as jay and i watched and poked fun. then it was off to corpus. chrysta and i met up with bean and art and once bean saw chrysta's new lip piercings, she wanted one there on the spot. so i took it into my hands to find a shop and we did. we went inside and bean got a lil stud through her lip. it's cute :). but during that time was when i was having fun no doubt. i even could've done without the show.
anyways, again that was yesterday and i'm getting off track again so without further ado... my girls :)
HOLLY [GENO]
I met Holly a couple of years ago, and at first she didn't even appear to have any urge to get to know us at all. Soon enough however, we would find that friends would eventually link us all together. Things got kinda rocky in the middle and I'm not really quite sure what happened much less why. But now, things have been taking a turn towards the right way. Holly's done a lot for me lately and Holly, I still can't thank you enough for being there when I just needed some company. The trip to Austin to see Nekromantix was fun on account that the bands we saw, I had never really heard about. But we had fun all the same. Thanks again for everything Holly, you're one of those people that I live for day by day, a true friend. You'll always be my "homeless lump" on the stoop :)
CHRYSTA [THE FETT]
Just like Holly, Chrysta and I met years ago when we were introduced through my old friend Juan. I've seen her ups and downs through the years and have stuck by her whenever I possibly could and she did the same for me. When we had our first real discussion ever I remember thinking to myself, man, it's fun talking to this person and our friendship grew and grew into what it is now. I always look forward to your visits and that's why I'm always asking whether or not you'll be at the apartment when I come home :P. My favorite thing about Chrysta however is the personality. There's something about a person who will say "I feel like shit" and have me reply "You LOOK like shit" and then exclaim "THANK YOU!" Or who will suddenly remember, "Oh and by the way, I'm in Victoria" on a night where I'd least expect it. The times we've shared together have been great and I couldn't ask for a better companion. Thank you Chrysta for your impact on me!
and last but certainly Never least...
BREA [BEAN]
There's so much to say about you that I haven't already said before. You stole my heart from the beginning and probably didn't realize it but you did. My first love and I couldn't have asked for a better one. I grew up having people tell me, you just think you're in love with people. Well, those people are the ones who grow up to be in the shittiest of relationships and I made sure to not fall under that category. Brea and I have shared more than a lot together. Almost feels like a lifetime and mentally, I still stick by her every decision. I know I held her back on things a lot during the years but I always regret doing so. Because once it's done, I fall in love all over again. I can't help it. But I won't get all depressing and what not, I'm here to pay tribute. There's no real way of describing this girl other than constant. Constantly thinking ahead, constantly aware, constantly caring for others. It's beautiful. I know I'm not the best at all with words much less something like poetry but if I could turn this into one, I'm sure it would have significant meaning. Words cannot describe how much I will continue to care about you. You're my best friend. My ally. And I know that whenever I'm starting to have a hard time, you'll be there to tell me that it'll all be ok. and like I've told you, I know that you're sincere. That's what makes everything so comforting these days. Are thanks in order? No. Because they would not be enough to express my gratitude for everything you gave me. You gave me my new way of life all together and I adore you for that. I'll always love you, no matter what the case. Forever, and a day...
These girls make my world spin. Without them, I don't know where I'd be. While constantly thinking about how I could possibly repay them for the pieces of their hearts and minds, I felt this was one of the best ways to do so.
You're my girls. and I love you to death.
