Last night I had a major blast from the past which involved me downloading a LaRue song. Sometimes I get sad because I think there really aren't a lot of people that appreciate the same nostalgic things that I do. And that's probably because I wasn't exactly the typical teenager. I was a church kid. I went to a million concerts. I loved local bands. I knew way too much about lame record labels.
Well, last night Ray and I reminisced for a couple hours. It was good. A few things we discussed: unforsaken, dunamis struggle, the old dream center with those black lights and splatter walls, the new dream center in a cool place but with that dumb tiki hut, shiny shirts (Joey Knapp...), LaRue, alien youth, joy electric, salt, canadian bacon, luc houle, pedro the lion + whiskey at cornerstone, people who hate hymns then suddenly like them, yellow cheese van, murray hill theatre, priests that smoke, Daria... not Dora, KJ-52, relient k, bleach (remember that time I went in their van?), holland the band, holland being sued and changing their name to the lonely hearts, tooth & nail, skanking , ska... and I can't remember much more.
Whew... that list probably doesn't make sense to about 98% of the population. And I'm sorry I wrote a blog you probably don't care about... but it just makes me so uncontrollably happy!
That picture may have been taken in 2003. I can't even remember.

And when Unforsaken was "that band with the luigi guy" who was a band with a van with writing on the inside?
and when we would request swing music at the Dream Center?
and when we tried 4+ time unsuccessfully to see Relient K... our only loves
and when we finally saw them. On tour with NEWSONG!
and when Keith would stand at the front of a stage by himself and head bang?
and when Luna Halo came and it was awesome?
I dont regret being the non-typical kid.
Oh dang. I forgot about Keith...
LaRue! And I thought that I would be the only one to know who they are/were. (I still have my autographed album...) Hmm...must give that a listen again...
i totally for got about Luna Halo...they were pretty awesome I think I have a shirt signed by them...actually think I have a shirt from Kingdom Bound signed by KJ-52
I still have my luna Halo necklace... that glows in the dark. yes.
I am so glad we shared the same childhood or teenhood, actually... It is the joy.
Jessica. I felt like you were one of the 5 or 6 people that would really understand this blog.
