Okay so Im pissed off. I sent the magazine buyer at Hot Topic a copy of the zine last month and have been waiting around for a month, only to find out they arent interested distributing us. Because they "dont want to over saturate their stores with to many punk zines," and they want to find out how they sell first. If the douche actually read our zine he would know that were mainly a hardcore fanzine. I personally think its a bad decision on his part but whatever. And one thing that irritates me is the fact that the magazines they do carry, the people dont care about the music. They care abuot the money that is being put into their pockets. Maybe I should change my mind set and just care about money. Then maybe we could get into every store on the planet. And it also bugs me that it took so long for this asshole to tell me. I mean, how hard is it to email me and say NO. FUCK. Hopefully next week when we hear back from Ingram about how many orders they want to put in will be a good #. If not i'll be even more pissed.

This weekend was great. Friday I did chores (not that, that is the great part) but you know. I also got a few things I wanted to get done. Around 5 I headed over to Rajon's house because he was going to be driving us to Against Me! The first band to open up was this band called Fake Problems....they had a few catchy hooks but I thought they pretty much sucked. Up next was Riverboat Gamblers. Ah fucken good band. The singer kind of reminds me of Adam from Taking Back Sunday. He also almost ran Rajon and I over when we were hanging out at the bar because he wanted to sing to Bruce. Haha. If you havent seen this band yet you should def check them out. Good shit and Luke from the Gorilla Biscuits is doing drums for them now. Im not sure if its permanent though. Between Riverboat Gamblers and Against Me!'s set we all decided to stare at Bruce. We drooled like little kids and this was very entertaining. A few of the guys I was with had no balls to go up and talk to Bruce and I saw no chics talking to him so I figured I should go up and say hi. I had no idea what the fuck I was going to say. I put my hand on his back (like we were good pals) shook his and said your a great musician keep up the great work you rock.Then I went back to my buds and flipped out. Thank god for drunk courage. Because I dont know if I would have gone up to him sober. Actually...knowing me I probably would have. Some asshole walked by me and goes "what are you going to hook up with him?"
Why is it okay for guys to go up and meet someone and be chill about it and then once a girl does they think the girl wants to get down his pants? I mean come on. Bruce is old. I dont want old man balls. Ewwwww.So anyway after the whole Bruce thing Against Me! went on. Oh man are they a great band live. They have so much energy and all their songs are fucken awesome. They played most of their songs off Americans Abroad (their latest release). It was good to finally see that band. I've been meaning to see them live but each time I missed them. Hopefully if they play Warped Tour this year they wont open like last year.

On Saturday night I had work and then went home. I didnt have plans and I didnt really feel like doing much. So I rented more of My Name Is Earl. I love that show. The things kharma can do to a man. Haha. If you havent seen it yet you should.

On Sunday I didnt do anything at all either. I layed in bed more then most of the day watching more My Name Is Earl. It almost sounds like I have an addiction to that show. It's possible. Around 5 Rajon and Brian picked me up and then we headed towards the city. On the way there we saw a Chipotle on Route 3 we got all excited so we went there after making a few uturns. Turns out the place was not open yet!!! Ughh. So annoying because I got really excited. So we headed to the nearest Taco Bell.  I wasnt really happy with the food at all. I ordered a double decker taco supreme and completely forgot the sour cream. I mean doesnt the sour cream make up the whole "supreme." I also asked for no meat and told them to replace it with beans. It looked like they just squished two beans and put a shit load of lettuce and cheese in it. They did a half ass job. So I went up and complained and had them add more beans. Only thing is they added way to many beans. They were like coming out the side of it. It was pretty narsty. Once we left Taco Bell we dropped Brian off so he could go home and then we went to the show. It was packed in the hallways. I really forgot how small the Knitting Factory is. I also felt out of place. There were a bunch of punks there dressed up in the usual hot topic punk clothes, with the spiked hair, piercings and what not. I basically felt intimidated. But then it got cool after a lil while. We unfortunately missed the first band which is okay because I thought only two bands were playing anyway. The second band was The Ghouls. They are pretty awesome. The crowd went nuts for them. A few kids tried to start mosh pits but they were more like push pits. Haha. By the time they ended the show had sold out. Then it was the Casualties. It only took them about an hour before they went on. I hate when bands take forever to get on stage. I guess they had to get all pretty because they were doing a video shoot. They crowd went nuts for them. I was happy with the crowd because whenever someone got knocked down or got sucked in the pit everyone would help each other out. Their were also a variety of people there. There was this one girl who annoyed the shit out of me. She looked like she was 16, short, blondish greenish hair...she kept going on stage and looked like an idiot. She didnt really do much. Its like if your gonna go up on stage atleast do something cool. She then brought one of her friends on stage later on in the night and they started making out.The Casualties also had some little kid come up and play guitar. He fucken ruled. Almost better then the guitarist the band had. Haha. Over all I had a great time at the show. I wanted to get the hell out of there after it ended because it was atleast 90 degrees if not more in there.

This weekend made me realize how much I miss going to two shows in a week. Luckily next weekend I have two more shows to go to. Im going to be seeing the Street Dogs and Flogging Molly on Friday and on Saturday night Rajon and I are going to go see Murphy's Law. Should be good times.

I think the asshole bug has biten me in the ass and that it's here to stay. For the past few weeks i've been dealing with a lot of assholes and have been having more then a few shitty days. And it is really starting to piss me off. I mean I understand that if I did something wrong kharma would come back to me but I haven't done anything wrong. Do you ever just sit back and wonder why bad shit just happens for the hell of it? Are we supposed to learn something even when we didnt do anything? Seriously. I am getting sick of it! It's getting me frustrated, irritated, confused and emotional. I thought that since it's a new month I could start off nice and fresh; but I cant just let that idea go. I came into work today and it was slow as all hell. I was tired (I didn't even stay up late) and I kept getting asshole reps. I just got off the phone with this one asshole about a half hour ago. This is how it went down:

So I just got a rep, and he had me on speaker phone. I couldnt tell at first so when he told me I was on speaker phone and that the customer could hear me I asked him politely (infront of my supervisor) if he could please take me off. The rep then gives me the wrong corp and the account# wrong 3 times. I then asked him nicely if he could please give me the correct account#. The rep then decided to leave the customers house so he could yell at me. He was yelling at me telling me how rude I was being infront of the customer (when I wasnt doing anything wrong) and he kept screaming all this rude shit at me. I then get so upset and frustrated that I decide to throw the headset down for about 4 mins. I can still hear the jerk yelling at me. So I pick up the head set and said "all I asked you for was for the correct corp and account#" Dude kept on yelling so my sup told me to tell him to have his supverisor call mine. He doesnt listen to me and keeps asking me "tell me what the customers balance on his account is" I say "please have your sup call mine," the dickwad then starts calling me unprofessional. Excuseeeeeee me but who left the subs house just so they could yell at me? This dude was so rude and unprofessional and literally had me shaking. I fucken hate assholes and the reps I deal with and I hate the way they treat me. They definately make me feel like shit after I get off the phone with them.

Well luckily tomorrow is my day off and I will be sure to enjoy it. I'm going to hangout in the morning, do chores, possibly take a nap and then go see Against Me! with Rajon at Starland Ballroom. I love that band. I'll also make sure I have a few drinks so i'll definately be feeling good. Haha. Ahhh and here are some other things I am looking forward to:

March 4th - The Casualties with The Ghouls at The Knitting Factory for $5. The Casualties are filming the show for a DVD! We're also going to be itnerviewing the punks in the Ghouls. The guys are good dudes.

March 7th - I'll be hearing back from Hot Topic to see if they want to distribute the zine. I hope they will. Would make my month.

March 8th - PAYDAY

March 9th - Street Dogs with Flogging Molly at Starland Ballroom

and March 16th will be the deadline date for Issue #4. It looks like we'll have everything done by the 14th or 15th. =)
