Please Uncross Your Fingers
Story time.

When I was in middle school, about 7th or 8th grade, I wanted to get some hoodies and stuff from the Asian Man Records website. My mom told me to put some things in the cart and she would order them for me. Included in that order was this Big D and The Kids Table hoodie.

When the package got to my house and I opened it up my mom got really mad that I had ordered this sweatshirt. I had told her that I wanted it before and she said I couldn’t have it because of the word “shit” on it. But I put it in the order and got it to my house anyways. My mom didn’t look over the order. She took it away and told me I wasn’t allowed to wear it. She also said when I was 18 I could wear things like that if I wanted to. I assumed that she donated it to Goodwill or something and that it was gone. I mean, she should have gotten rid of it, right?

I just turned 18 on Friday. Today my mom told me she had a late birthday present for me. She came downstairs with this hoodie in her hand. She said that I’m 18 now so I can wear it.

So now I have a sweet Big D hoodie.

Fuck yes. 

Welp.

Tweeted at Mike Park about a rare AMR record I am looking to sell and he responded immediately. Fanboying a little bit, guys.

Posted my Alkaline Trio Nike shoes on eBay.

This fucking album.

This fucking album.

eleven eleven said the clock as i pulled it around
the foreign days and understanding
a way out would be nice,
i’ll have your good advice
went up the block
making the scream 12 after
some days the walls look greener
(cause they can fetch a dime)
hung, unsafe for days you can’t be weaker waiting
and even if bugs turn into people who ask
‘are you all right?’
say yes and smile
it’s now the outcome of every day,
weaker days await.

even if the bugs turn to people who ask
‘are you all right?
just say yes and smile
you’ve found the outcome of every day
weaker days await

I lied my face off when I said that I would be okay. It’s never fine when you go away.

Joyce Manor was so fucking rad last night.

I was surprised by the amount of kids singing along considering it was in Longview. Minus World is so tight. Trying to go for round 2 tonight in Olympia and definitely going for round 3 in Portland on Saturday with Caroline. Barry from the band is such a nice dude. They might crash at my place tonight. It would be cool to hang out.
