I can guarantee you I will be at Koufax. I just can't guarantee I will be with Lauren. I will ditch her for Koufax. Their music means more to me than she ever will. I told her how much it would mean to me to see Koufax, and she said she still wants to go see Less Than Jake, so I am fucked....
I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.

goddamnit

leave that bitch!
we are the brand new beatniks. we are the down and outers.
we are the bleeding hearts, beating syncopated, broken rhythm.
our speed is often break neck. we need to slow it down.
tired of being sleepless. tired of being broken.

I am going to Koufax. I am going to buy tickets tomorrow or Monday. I just won't be with Lauren most likely.

I dunno. I don't want to dump her right before we go to New Jersey. That would be one bad trip, if I wound up going.

Tonight I went out with my friend Bryan, and there were so many girls I wanted to speak to but couldn't because of Lauren. One even was smart and knew who Alkaline Trio was and was coming onto me. She was also attractive, but I find myself distancing myself from her because I don't want to be tempted. Damn myself.

They don't suck or anything, but they're not Koufax. Koufax is purely amazing music. They're like no other band out there really. And I love their music a lot more than Hot Rod or NFG.

Less Than Jake is the opener for NFG and GC .. I haven't heard much of them either I'm afraid ...

I feel like I've been living under a rock or something .. I'm behind in the music scene

Well Jeff, there's a reason I would choose Koufax over HRC. Well, two reasons. One, Good Charlotte fucking blows. I don't want to be there for that joke of a band. Two, HRC is going to be in New Jersey the same day Alkaline Trio is, so I find that seeing HRC open for ALK3 is better than opening for NFG and GC.

Joey, there is nothing wrong with liking Good Charlotte, as long as you're not the stereotypical 14 year old that wears bullshit "Made" clothing and has some sort of complex that because you like GC you have the right to be an asshole and act like you were in the Sex Pistols. But I know you're past the fad stage in your life, so if you like them, more power to you. I just don't care for their uber-radio friendly songs.
