silver4's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Musical weekend NIN concert last night was amazing. Trent is a beautiful man. What can I say? The show lasted two hours, I didn't expect that. They played a great mix of everything old and new, but there was a stretch in the middle where it was like five of their new songs, and they decides to pick the slow ones that drag. Give us some energy, homie! If you want people to grab the new album, pick the ones that have some movement to them. Anyways it was lovely. I went by myself, didn't know anyone there, that didn't matter. Grabbed a beer in the beginning and that kept me company, quite similar to my last NIN concert. I had texted RO, one of the guys in the crew I now frequently hang with, to see what was up for the night. He said that they were thinking about going to a venue in the Hard Rock casino, which fortuitously was the same casino my band was playing at (just in the neighboring venue, like out one door, into the other). I tell him that yes, that is a beautiful idea, and so when NIN was done, I skipped into the hallway and hung with the boys. Maybe 5-10 minutes into it, RO asks me where CW is. I say huh? I don't know, I came alone. He says he thought he would be with me, because of the concert. I say nope, but that the next night he will be there. Then we continue on and rock out. Another 10-15 minutes passes, and the next guy GJ asks me hey, where's CW? I then tell him, too, that I came to the concert alone, and CW will be there the next night. So I am not certain if people think it's weird of me to be concerting alone, if they expect CW to be with me because I've brought him along lately, or if they ... I don't know what. I would still gladly accept something to happen between us, but I am fine otherwise. I waited for the last guy I was with to ask me where CW was, but he never did. Good game homie. Anyways. Afterwards we went to some bar and proceeded to stay there until about 3 a.m. The thing that sucks about that is that I went home, went straight to bed...and woke up at 6:51. And can't fall back asleep. I don't remember if I took sleeping pills or not. Regardless, it is now almost 8 and I am hopelessly awake. My body is programmed for that pre- 7 a.m. wake up, regardless of the hour I go to sleep. I wish I were like other people who could fall asleep and stay asleep for hours on end. But nope. That's what also makes it crappy when I go home with someone at like 2 a.m. and handle our business and then pass out, only to wake up a few hours later, and then I am awake at 7 in some guy's house without access to my sleeping pills and no hope for sleep. That has made for awkward times for me, and I just leave a note and peace out. Actually..I'm going to keep some sleeping pills in my car from now on. I even innocently pass out at my guys' houses too with these late nights, so might as well. Blah. Concert round 2 tonight. Sooo worth it. I did not see any other black people at the concert last night. I saw one who I couldn't tell if he was working the show or attending, so I kept the count to just me. It's one of my favorite games to play when I am alone at a concert that does not traditionally, necessarily attract many black people. I represent. It was sold out, too. Looking forward to tonight. But before then, my band crew is doing a show at this park near me, it's a nice event of food trucks and music and what not, so I will be going there (soon, sadly...kinda tired over here) and flirting with singer of course, while drummer continues to try to convince me why I should hook up with him. I am truly entertained by my life. I would love a bit more true affection, but entertainment-wise, I have that covered. Then the boys are having a barbecue and watching the game (like I care about the game) on Sunday, so I will be doing that, after I go to my grandma's concert (jazz singer)..she is doing some performance at the university here, a tribute event that I believe is annual. Gotta support the family. I believe that is it. Yay and done. Rest maybe, then back in action! Who am I kidding? I never rest. Sigh. 7:25 a.m. - 2013-11-16 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
