hey babe your hair's alright

I think I'll just do quick bullet points about what's been going on with me lately.  It's easier than me doing a long-winded update I suppose.

• • I intended to get up this morning, and go get my car inspected but after looking outside and seeing it was poring down rain I decided that I will wait until Monday.  Our city implemented some new changing with the car inspections, and tags this year.  It used to be that you  needed 2 stickers one for inspection, and one for the tags, but now they're only making it to where you need one sticker which is your tags and they hand you paperwork whenever you get your inspection.  Everyone here is trying to get adjusted to the new changes.  
  • I learned how to play the guitar riff for "Rebel Rebel" by David Bowie, and I'm very proud of myself.  It's not incredibly hard, but I had to work at it until I got the riff just right.  
  • Speaking of guitar stuff Tobin Abase from Animals as Leaders makes me feel like such a noob at guitar.  This guy is an amazing guitarist.  I watched a few of his guitar tutorial videos, and in one of them he's like "If you want to do something more complex just do this..." and starts playing this really cool thing, and I'm just like "easy for you to say, dude."  He's amazing.  
  • I really want to go to a concert this year, and so many bands have come and went through my city.  There are still a few shows I want to see, but my main problem is I don't have anyone to accompany me to said shows.  When I saw Lacuna Coil a few years ago I ended up going with someone who had never been to a metal show, and needless to say it ended up being somewhat of a disaster.  The one good thing that happened was I met the band, but the person I went with hid in the bathroom the entire show because "The music was too loud."  So yeah... :(
  • I started watching Supernatural recently, and I have to say I really like it a lot.  I'm just on season 1, but so far I like it.  It's actually my best friend's favorite show so now I feel like I can talk about it with her since I finally started watching it XD! 
  • We've had a bunch of new people hire on at my job recently, and it's been interesting.  I notice they seem somewhat apprehensive of me, and I'm thinking it may be because my sister is a supervisor in another area.  They seem to have preconceived notions about me that aren't really true.  At this point in my life though I've learned to have thicker skin, and not care so much about what people think of me.  I'm used to people acting like they're scared of me or whatever.  It's not like a dress UBERGOTH or anything though.  I do wear mostly black, and dress in an overall dark aesthetic.  I will say dressing alternative makes it very easy to weed out the narrow-minded, and judgmental people.  
  • So many old bands I used to like when I was younger are coming back!  I heard that Thursday is doing a festival date, and Thrice just released a new single.  Lacuna Coil is putting out a new album in May along with a tour.  This year seems like it will be a good year for music. :)
  • I'm about to watch the trailer for the new season of Game of Thrones, but I don't have my hopes up.  The plot on this show hasn't been good in a while, and I'm afraid of what they're going to do with certain characters this season particularly Sansa Stark.  
  • Also I have a new tumblr if anyone wants to follow me.  It's here. I figured I would start tumblr anew, and just post mostly random things I'm into.  It's mostly a music blog at this point.
