Well... it happened I guess.

The United States has elected Donald J Trump into the presidency.

I don't quite know how to feel at this moment, but I've been working on the words.

I think that what needs to be done now, is maintaing hope in the face of hate, and organization. Now is no longer the time for petty infighting between democrats, leftists, communists, queer people, non-white people, and poor people. Now, more than any time since the civil war, we need to come together.

Donald Trump is going to try to plunge us into despair. He has tried this before; despairing enemies are easier to defeat because they already believe they have lost. The best thing we can do is keep hope, love, and mindfullness in our hearts. If we are to choose peace, we should be peaceful because we love the people we are sharing the peace with. If we are to choose violence, we shoud do so because we are defending people we love or attacking those who cause our loved ones harm.

We can make it through these next four years. We've done it before.
It's going to be hard, harder than last time, but we will persevere.

We must.

I saw sum rly cool bands ovr th weeknd!

I went 2 a show on fri th 25th, and sat th 26th, both @ Ashbary Coffee House.

Spleen and Too Tall To Ride both contain memberz of muh old band, The Heathenz, so it wuz so nice seein them again. :D

I had seen Simsons b4, but I hd nvr th othr 2 bands. Honestly??? I lovd the whole set, it wuz so gud! I got dancin an had a gr8 tiem! ^-^

Here r som links to the mentioned bands, Too Tall To Ride, Spleen, and The Simsons.

Th 2nd show I went 2 wuz Con?usion, Rigid, Sattva Dog, and Gelatinous Cube and the Ambiguous Wrecks!

Thiz show alzo RIPPED!! XD

I hav a picy of Sattva dog here, dressed as Jesus and a Monk. Wich I thought wuz funny 4 the halloween vibez of the nite.

Con?usion ruled, az usual, but they ddnt play Salamanders, which Im still upsett abt lol.

Gelatinous Cube and the Ambiguous Wrecks (which Ill b shortenin 2 GCxAW) had their drummer dressed up az Princess Leia in th slave outfit, which he informd meh he did bcuz I told him 2 last halloween LMFAO!!

Id seen Con?usion and GCxAW b4, but nvr Sattva Dog and Rigid, the former Id been lookin forward 2 seein an the latter I had nvr seen b4, but MAN... they fkn BLEW ME AWAY!

Rigid iz made up of some fomer members of Liminal Space, Deary, an some other experimental musicians frum th Chi burbs scene.

They had such a unique sound tht wuz kinda Kraftwerk inspird with a lot mor post punk an psyche influence. It felt v much like a fresh, new take on th space rock movement.

Plus, they perfromd wit a CRT which iz an ez way 2 my heart. <3
