Tonight I am going to sit in on/volunteer with a traumatic brain injury family support group. This is a group where family members of traumatic brain injury (TBI) survivors can come and vent or provide support for each other. It seems like it’s going to be pretty awesome. The reason for this is because I am taking a class (anatomy and physiology) and part of the class requirements are to spend some time (four hours) volunteering with an organization that relates to our desired field (nursing). Boy, do I heart parantheses. Anyways, this is not the reason my eyes are bleeding. No, in fact, I am really looking forward to this. It is a welcome respite from this past week of hell where I have spent 90% of my non working hours (I am at work now) in the library studying for this goddammned class because I am a slack ass and have had all summer to complete the work but decided to wait until the last minute to finish it up (it’s all due by 10:00 PM Monday). Awesome! I don’t know if any doctors or nurses read this blog, but if there are, please attest to the fact that this is one of the hardest classes in the history of science. Either that or I am a complete moron (which is also probably true). Man, I love parantheses. So anyways, pray for me Slowtimers, I take one exam on Saturday and another on Monday aftwer work. This means this weekend is going to suck.

But it won’t suck so much that I will skip going to see The Gates of Slumber in Baltimore on Saturday night! For one night and one night only, I am allowing myself to go revel in the Sabbathy, Saint Vitus like doom riffs of this powerful band. Not for the weak. So yeah, that’s what I am getting into this Saturday. Like you care, Chauncey.

Also, on a sidenote (but related), what the hell is up with Baltimore totally pwning DC on shows? I mean, it’s not just metal, it’s everything. I have wondered this for a few years now. Does DC just suck? Are there too many wanna be politicians/lawyers/doctors/total yuppie douche turds who don’t know what good music is? Probably. But I will tell you what doesn’t suck. This. September 5th Black Cat. DC. Let’s do it. If I have to explain it, you wouldn’t understand. Or some bullshit like that. For fans of disco (blargh!), fun, stage dives, going dumb and your mom.
