I wish I had been myself around you.
I wish I wasn't so scared of what you thought of me.
I wish I had the balls to say no in the first place.
I wish I had listened to myself cringe.
I wish I had allowed you to come see me at a horse show.
I wish I had been more confident in myself.
I wish I wasn't such an asshole.
I hope that now I have the ability to be myself no matter who is around and no matter what I'm feeling.

Paulding County Animal Hospital
http://pauldinghumane.org/
Paulding County Animal Hospital has to shut down for emergency construction, so where do the animals go?!
They are going to close on May 28th. Right now all animals are going for 20$. The animals who don't get adopted will be put to sleep. So please help these animals, they really need you right now. If you've been thinking about getting a dog or a cat, now is the time to do it.
However, don't get a dog just for the hell of it. If the dog won't fit your lifestyle, don't get it. Example: Say you're a pretty chill person, right? When you get home from a hard day at the office, you want to chill on the couch and rest. Don't go get a dog that's bouncing off the walls so excited to see you! You'll be much happier with the other dog who sits in front of you and wags his tail. Make sense?
Also, do your research about the dog's breed. Everybody knows about Pit Bulls reputation. But if you exercise them regularly and discipline them correctly(and are the right match for your energy level) they could be a great dog!
One more thing to remember is age. The younger dogs and cats will easily find a home. The older dogs and older cats needs homes too. They may not be as cute and adorable as kittens and puppies, but adorableness isn't the only factor in adopting an animal.
I ask you to offer help to these animals, but I also ask that you get the right animal to really make it work so they don't wind up in another humane society. Thanks.

Foundation + Backtrack Tour Kick Off
For some reason my flickr isn't working for the non-flickr-public so I'm going to put all of the images on here instead of linking over. If you want to blog something, please credit me and please let me know if you're going to use one of my images.
The show was fantastic! Hivemind, from Florida, opened. It's always nice to hear a band for the first time right in front of you. I was pretty impressed, but I didn't get pictures. I had to restrain myself cause I wasn't sure what I was going for would come out. Check them out, they're on an East Coast tour to cape Cod right now.
Then Undertaker and Roam Alone, two great Atlanta locals. Always a good time. I shot a few of Roam Alone but it didn't come out very well haha, oops.
These photos were random photos taken sometime in between the sets. Click on them to see their size.
Collin and Trevor are so photogenic if you'll look back at the United Blood photo, http://www.flickr.com/photos/bobwashington/4474729293/.
Then Backtrack! It's always fun to watch them. I saw them for the first time in January in Atlanta. Then saw them again twice in New York. The first time in New York was with Madball. The second time was with H2O, two legendary New York Hardcore bands.
My favorite out of all the pictures from that night.
Then, last but certainly not least was Foundation. I really don't know what to say about them. They deserve every help they've ever gotten from Have Heart, Bridge 9, everyone before I heard about them, and certainly all the fans. They're some of the most devoted people to hardcore I've ever met. Probably one of my favorite bands to see live, they never get old.
Oh yeah, Hank broke his nose. That's blood on his hand.
"Josh, what's the best country?"
"That'd be Braves country, with the USA in a close second."

Delay in Posting
Sorry I haven't been posting as regularly as I'd like. I'm redoing my room and my parents are redoing the living room. So much redoing going on.
I got my hair cut by the wonderful Blair Smoker at Toni & Guy at the Perimeter location. She's great, and has been cutting my hair for 5 years. I'm a loyal client and trust her wholeheartedly with my hair. If you're having trouble finding a good hair girl, go check her out. Tell her I sent you.
A lot going on this weekend at 585 Wells St, aka PS Warehouse. To all the hardcore fans out there, tomorrow is Foundation(Atlanta natives) and Backtrack(from Long Island)'s tour kickoff show. It starts at 7pm and is 10$. Backtrack, Swamp Thing, Roam Alone, Undertaker, Hivemind, and of course, Foundation.
Saturday night, there's a bboy competition! I'm told that there will be break dancing and graffitti.
I know I've neglected taking my camera with me everywhere, but I can guarantee it will be with me all weekend.Today I'm finally getting all the boxes up to my room so I'll be able to access more of my stuff.
See you this weekend!

Georgia Mineral Society
Welcome to the Cobb County Civic Center!
Ok, so I have a lot of pictures to show! Where to start? Um...
I got an opal ring!
I got it from the same stand my parents got me a turquoise bracelet last year, Massachusetts Bay Trading Company. They mostly sell Navajo jewelry made in the Southwest, super cool and right up my alley. It was so hard to decide between the opal and this beautiful off-center turquoise ring. I went with the opal because I already have turquoise jewelry and no opal. So, I spent the money my brother gave me on it. The Trading Company doesn't have a website, but they have two locations, one in Blue Ridge and one in Dahlonega. Nowhere near Atlanta, but worth the drive, without a doubt. Give them a call at either 772-971-8154 or 678-779-2110, ask for Jacie Davis and tell her you saw this blog.
Here are some photos from their booth!

Dad and I were bothered by this grumpy college professor
who had some really cool glow in the dark rocks. He was a frustrating person but had some cool things to show us.
Of course, Mom found some things. She's really into giant geode rocks. They're bubbles in the Earth from lava. They form pretty purple crystals that she has four of. There was this guy there who had two boxes full of mini-geodes that you could cut in half right there in the Civic Center. After she found the perfect rock, she turned into the epitome of excited. Literally.

Here she is tightening the chain which cracks the rock in half.

Right after it cracked.

Mama Lamb's rock!

Did I mention there was a baby raccoon there that this one handyman rescued and is on his way to taking the baby to a wild animal sanctuary?
Try to make it out on Mother's Day but even if you don't, have a good one!

Georgia mineral society
I know it sounds lame, but it's actually really cool. You could get something for your Mom for Mother's Day. They have one of a kind jewelry made from stones and gems. Or if she's maybe a little different from the average Mom you could get her a fossil necklace too. But really, no matter what she's into, every woman likes being one of a kind.
So,
Georgia Mineral Society

Burgers and fingers and fries!
Tomorrow, I am leaving New York City for the great city of Atlanta. I will soon be updating the blog with reviews of clothing and thrift stores, restaurants, dog parks, and movies. I will also be offering crafty tips like creating your own sketchbook/journal/or idea book. I can't wait to be back in Georgia!
This is a picture from a great burger place by my apartment called the Shake Shack. It's open from noon to midnight, has only outdoor seating and the longest line you've ever seen! Sometimes it wraps around the park! It's worth it though. When I get to Atlanta, I'll be on the hunt for great burger joints around the city.
