Sketchism

I woke up this morning to the throbbing pain of a thrown lower back. My guess is the pain came from an intense workout from last night. Curses! Though I do admit that it couldn’t have come at a more convenient time. Today I was off from school and work due to the latest in hurricanes passing the Florida southern coast. Fortunately my area did not receive any serious damage that I can detect. It barely rained, though there some strong winds. Our power stayed intact through the whole day. But what’s a bed-ridden boy to do except watch tv? There’s nothing to watch! Everything either causes me to roll my eyes out of disgust, frustration, or boredom. I find that my latest hobby nowadays is to search for new music. I spend a lot of my time online on Purevolume hearing the tunes of signed and unsigned bands.

I’ve done quite a bit of research on which bands are coming to town and I am the proud owner of 3 tickets to upcoming shows. They are, chronologically: Yellowcard and Acceptance, Copeland and Daphne Loves Derby, and finally MuteMath and Mae. Seeing how there are a few other acts coming to town, you can accept my amount of tickets to increase. Some promising shows include Emery, MewithoutYou, The Roots, and Kanye West. This is definitely the year of shows for me. I’m a show-junkie. It’s going to cost me over $100 to attend all these shows, but I think we can all agree that it is money well spent. And if you don’t agree well then I’m sorry. And no I won’t bring you a band sticker, you big meanie.

So here I am still trying to find ways to kill the hours. I refuse to watch anymore television. Perhaps I’ll do some more work in my sketchbook or finish reading one of my books. Desperate times call for desperate distractions.
