I had a dream...

I had a dream that I spent some epic time with some epic people. Matt The Electrician, The Weepies, my BFF...

I think i'll go to sleep again and hope I dream the same dream.

I couldn't have said it better Matt...

I owe $35 to the Library at Humbolt State University, but I dropped out 15 years ago. So I never paid it and I'm still not gonna. I never got my report card but i didnt go to class and I didnt work hard so I didnt wanna know how bad I did. But I know I never made the deans list

College is a waste of time

If you wanna be a baker or a candlestick maker you still have to wait in line at the bank drive through and the train tracks too behind people like me with no degree cuz I know the conductor and he knows me .You might have a nicer car, but I've traveled pretty far

and all I have is an old guitar. Fourty bucks for a bag of weed in the summer of 1993

Fourty Dollars is all I have, and it isn't mine it belongs to my parents. 500 points for a roll of cookie dough in the cafeteria they got sloppy joes and the sloppy joes cost 3 points, I wont eat in the spring but hey cookie dough.

College is a waste of time

if you wanna be a diver or a big rig driver you still have to go to the store you share the road with the wide load. It's taking up all three lanes and you can't get around it it's a big pain. and the driver hasn't slept in three whole days but he knows one thing and thats freeways. He's got a gatorade bottle where he goes pee, and your behind him with your college degree.

College

Due to the recession I had to let my tap dancer go...

The weepies came to town. The excitement was out of control. If I only knew what my weekend had in store for me. The night was young, so was Braymee Allen. We were ready to go out and paint the town. So we did. Weepies style. We were in line early(good move). We were sure to get t-shirt buying, potty breaks, and such out of the way.

Then it all began. Our lives changed, and so did our priorities. Meeting The Weepies outside was probably one of the best things that could have happened. It was meant to be.

The decision was made. We, Braymee Allen in full, were going to Denver. ENDLESS amounts of fun. 16 hours of driving time in el Jeep, 8 epic hours in the sumptuous town of Denver

This trip couldn't have gone any better if we had planned it. Because we really didn't. That is what made it so perfect. Arriving in Denver we changed, made some necessary pit stops. Arrived at the beautiful venue and once again got in line early(good call). Upon arrival we picked up our tickets. The excitement was unmeasurable. Unexplainable.

Once inside the excitement built again. I thought it might not be as exciting the second time. I was wrong. It was more exciting. I knew what I was in for, I knew it was good. Meeting them outside for the second time was even better. The hugs and genuine conversation we had with them made them even more amazing.

Then the drive home began. I wasn't much help. But it was scary. The first snow storm of the season. It slowed us down, but it didn't take away any excitement we had for the weekend. We have all agreed it is next to impossible to describe the concert and the entire weekend. Mind-blowing, jaw dropping, awesome, awe-inspiring, sensational, remarkable, spectacular, stupendous, phenomenal, incredible. EPIC! God bless The Weepies.

"Dear God, I'm a big fan of your work."

Something has changed...i'm not sure what it is. Something. I expect more to come. Sometimes bad news motivates you. You so badly want to do something to help, but there isn't always something you CAN do. I will find something.

A Night At The Movies

It was a nice Monday evening, lots of excitement in the air. You see, this was my first evening out on the town since I had been all cooped up thank to my dear friend Mr. Bronchitis. The plan was to meet my BFF at a Sundance film showing at 9:00. Oh I was so excited! I put on my new favorite blue hat (thank you Jonna) so I could be looking my finest, and I strutted out the door. Upon Arrival parking was a little full...so I did it Idaho style and created my own parking space. Ran across the street and met Brooke with my ticket and she showed me to our seats. I was giddy like a little school girl as I took my seat thinking what a fun crowd! Well not long after the lights were dimmed and the movie began. Now I was feeling a little self conscious about my cough...mostly because I was the ONLY one in the room coughing, and this seemed to be a very quiet movie. This apparently wasn't going to be the issue of the night. A couple minutes into the movie I received a text message concerning a work issue. Now...I understand this isn't something that you should do during a movie as it could be very distracting to others. So to try and avoid any rudeness I tuck my phone under my arm and answer my text very discretely. Not long after this the lady to my right kicked my foot...yes KICKED my foot and leaned over and said in a very stern 2nd grade teacher voice "that is very rude!" in shock I said "oh...I'm sorry..." and put my phone away. It took a while for things to set in for me...but once it did, I had many choice comebacks to say to her...which I never worked up enough guts to say to her, and the timing wasn't right anyways. Lady to the right...I have one thing to say to you...If I knew where you lived I would most definitely toilet paper your house!
