Break through the concrete to find what’s growing beneath

Another nice day. I went to work this morning, but all I had to do was ten minutes worth of website updating. The rest of the time I spent reading Animal Farm. Dad and I talked a bunch about going to shows and taking pictures. I told him all about what I wanted to do with it. He was very pumped.

Ditched work early and went to a show at the refuge. I was so happy to go because Continuance was playing and I was going to try out my new camera. I took a bunch of sweet pictures, but I didn't get to edit them yet (photoshop decided to give me sass). I'll get to it tomorrow though.

Anyway, it was so nice to finally see an actual hardcore band, especially after months of going to screamy type shows. Continuance was excellent! Their set made me so happy. I met the singer, Dylan, afterwards. Super nice guy, but I'm jealous of his sweet tattoos.

When I came home dad was still up, so I showed him the pictures from the show. He looked through them and said "You did a great job tonight. I'm way proud of you". Man, just a few words like that will probably keep me going for a whole week! It's what I live off of.

Amazing new friends, the few kids who refuse to give up on me, and the old dude who knows exactly what to say--you are the air in my lungs!!
