#and even though one for the kids was their first album … ocean avenue blew them the fuck up

[pussy-ache]

lights and sounds is still the best yellowcard album tbh

#if they do a 20th anniversary for that in 2026 i’ll go to that too #they released a 20th anniversary album for one for the kids but since that was 2021 they didn’t tour #but also that’s not really a BIG well known album #and even though one for the kids was their first album … ocean avenue blew them the fuck up #so it makes sense to do the tour for that instead #however lights and sounds is categorically on the same level as ocean avenue in terms of early 2000s impact #and the growth from ‘03 ocean avenue to ‘06 lights and sounds was substantial #ocean avenue is technically my 4th favorite album 😂 #lights and sounds is where its at #there was more violin work on lights and sounds than on ocean avenue for fucking suuuuuure #hollywood died is one of those songs i’ll never get tired of #how the violin at the end PERFECTLY melds into the instrumental of three flights up #same for rough landing holly #my mom was actually in awe that night cuz the crowd perfectly harmonized on how i go #the female vocals on how i go are performed by natalie maines of the dixie chicks and she was there that night which was AMAZING #and my mom had never heard any of that album before but she remembers the crowd on how i go #it’s one of the prettiest songs in their discography imo #and also one of the saddest #anyway they better do a 20th for lights and sounds i s2g

New Found Glory, Bayside, The Movielife, Ryan Key @ The Crofoot 06.01.18

Sold out, New Found Glory presents the Get Sick Tour with special guests Bayside, The Movielife, and Ryan Key formerly of the now disbanded Yellowcard. I'm glad I bought a ticket to the sold-out gig in advance, even though comped, there was a mix-up at the venue, it never goes smoothly kids, get used to it. The best way to handle anything like that is to act like you've done it before. Getting upset about this would've sent a shitty message to the same lady who runs the ticket counter at the Crofoot, a venue that I'm at regularly. Instead of making a fuss about it I just said: "That's fine I have a paid ticket" got my photo pass and went in. A few years ago I might have acted completely differently. I guess it shows the amount of stress in my life that has been released by doing this kind of thing really extends to my behavior. My name's on the list. It's in the email chain. If you can't figure it out with all the evidence, I will bug the tour manager. No worries. It's not about me anyway, it's about all the other people who bought the tickets and the damn artists, tour crew, and venue staff too. Acting like a selfish dick in these situations is not going to do any good for anyone. Step off to the side, let them help some other people while you handle your business and get the TM or head of PR or venue manager to handle it. 

Ryan Key played his full new solo EP then closed with Ocean Avenue. His intro stage banter was exactly what it should be as an acoustic act. "Do whatever you want, I'm basically here as filler for the first round or two." Paraphrasing, of course, I was stoned out of my mind. Ryan's set was good actually it was great musically but really mellow and calm music. Definitely approved for laying in bed on a stoned out lazy Sunday.

The Movielife went up next, and this was something I honestly was incredibly happy for. I had never seen them before that Friday, and well, they were fucking excellent. It was so hard not to freak out when they blasted into their second song "Face or Kneecaps" one of my favorite songs ever written! 

I kinda was questioning why The Movielife was playing before Bayside, of course, that was until Bayside came out and smashed the crowd with an elevated level of energy. They are on a level of professionalism that can only be rivaled by another group of pro's the headliners, NFG. Every fucking song is a singalong with Bayside, so glad it's not an acoustic show. 

A drunk guy asked to hit my vape pen thinking it was a strain and was utterly bummed when I told him it was cbd. Not nearly as many stinky fucks as there were a few weeks prior at the sold-out sum 41 show. Gonna go ahead and make an assumption that NFG and Bayside Fans shower more frequently than DTLI15 fans do?

With that being said this lead into one of my least favorite concert cliches. It's a lot more fun hearing vocalists sing rather than drunk fat guys but I mean this just makes sense. Whenever it gets to singalong time with no bass or drums it's an actual signal for a bathroom break or a trip to the bar to cure boredom. Usually, by the time I'm done, I can come back to a not so corny crowd (even for my cornball ass) and can go back to loving the show.  The headliners, New Found Glory came out to an erupting crowd that didn't calm down til the show ended. NFG played songs off 10+ records. Think about that. Here's a pop-punk band playing music off almost a dozen albums. Longevity, consistency, and pure musicianship gives way for their personalities to become some of our favorite people in all music. They dumped balloons on the crowd, they brought a member of the crowd up to sing, and simply blew us all away. It's 2018, if you haven't seen these bands yet, please do. At the very least, get them pumping through your speakers, I promise your ears will thank you. For a better visual representation of the evening, please view the photos below.

[famousattractionoffameandfood]

Eren replaced one image for another from the scrap book his parents left for him which contained his parents, him, and Levi with his own parents. As of late he had an image of all of them together on one side of his golden locket while the other side showed just him and Levi being together. Eren lips curled into a small smile as he replaced both sides for a different one. 

He remembered the day Levi and himself were in a part of a play and he just so happen to have to be the damn carrot while Levi was the raging pink bunny rabbit that tries to eat him every time an adult turned their backs on them. Eren smiles even wider “Don’t think there’s a time we were together where he didn’t bite me.” Closing the album book he put his only treasure beside this locket and the key he turned into a choker around his neck up.

 Slipping the gold chain around his neck he walked right into the kitchen wearing nothing but his boxer the choker and long chained golden locket around his neck.

Snagging the apron off it’s hook in the kitchen he put it on tying the knot in front of him like some fancy chef. Snagging his smart tv remote he got on the internet and went to the saved bookmark tab. A second later Dragon Dessert blog popped up on the sixty five inch smart flat screen tv. He used the remote to go to the breakfast tab on dragon dessert blog and went for the easy breakfast. Thanks to that blog he can cook eggs without burning it to high hell sure the magazine likes to call him perfect but, he’s not. He can’t cook for shit if he haven’t learned how to do it. For breakfast he wanted french omelette and a few side dish beside it. He might even be daring to make waffles which he only needs to add water to the batter and used the measuring cup from the waffle iron kit and Wa-La it’s waffles he can butter and drown in syrup.

Grabbing the utensil  and ingredients he needs from the video that was playing on the flat screen tv. Levi cut up the green pepper in small bits.

Let see.... “Beat the eggs, water, salt and pepper in small bowl until blended.” Eren did what dragon dessert instructed until it was well blended.

“Than heat butter in 6 to 8-inch nonstick omelet pan or skillet over medium-high heat until hot. TILT pan to coat bottom. POUR IN egg mixture. Mixture should set immediately at edges.”

Eren again did what Dragon dessert said and put butter in the skillet and rotate it so that all the butter melted. Shortly after he poured in the mix batter of the egg and waited for it to cook on one side. He had tossed in some cooked meat in the french omelette. 

“Than you should gently push the cooked portions from edges toward the center with inverted turner so that uncooked eggs can reach the hot pan surface. CONTINUE cooking, tilting pan and gently moving cooked portions as needed.”

Eren watched the video and done it on his own project and since his waffle iron is heating up he should be able to dump his omelette on the plate toss in some ketchup and work on his waffles and meat.

“When top surface of eggs is thickened and no visible liquid egg remains, PLACE filling on one side of the omelet. FOLD omelet in half with turner. With a quick flip of the wrist, turn pan and INVERT or SLIDE omelet onto plate. SERVE immediately.”

Eren smiled it look like the video and he gently put it on the plate and decorated it. Than he turned off the stove and set the hot skillet in the sink running cold water on it.

Next he put on some oven mitt and sprayed the non-stick waffle iron and poured the batter into the waffle iron and closed it. He made sure he had the tile turned all the way to the left so it could crispy. Once he was done with that he washed the skillet and tossed in some sausage and let it cook. Seven minutes later his hot waffles was on a plate on it’s own and he placed everything on the dinning table. Taking his apron off he set it back on the hook and breath in the home cooked breakfast in the air and smiled brightly.

“Time to eat.” he said to no one in particular, he lived alone after all. Rich and famous but, no one here to spend his life with. Eren sat down and looked at his locket...

“At least for right now...soon though I’ll propose to Levi and we can get married.”

Eren said to himself to cheer himself up once he was feeling cheerful and productive he ate his food in peace. His cats were spending the night at Armin’s so he didn’t forget about them although Erena would probably come back on her own when she feels like it. She mostly lived with their parents but, as of right now she’s on summer break so she on the island with him. The Caribbean is a wonderful place to live especially with the ocean being the color of his eyes.

Plus his filming for the production of the dragon king would be close to the ocean too so it’s perfect in a way. “Water dragon king...huh... I could work on my script after I digest.”

Again, Eren has got to stop talking to himself but, having Sirene live with him he just got use to talking to her over the years. “.....Levi...”

Leaning back from a clean plate he wonder if Levi forgotten all about him... He doesn’t have his number or his address and every time he tried to post a private information his fan base floods his emails and PO box claiming they are his Levi so he had given up on trying to contact him that way...

Sighing again he wonder if he should just hire a private detective to find his lost lost. He could only imagine that Levi has grown even more beautiful over the years.

He made enough money to buy him a real engagement ring than the candy ring he bought from a store when they were kids. He wanted everyone in the world he was madly in love with Levi and want to show him off to the world. He was going to be the luckiest and happiest man in the world with Levi by his side.

Although his fantasy always become short lived when he thought about Levi dating someone other than him... “...Ugh...I don’t want that...”

Picking up his dishes he set them in the sink once he rinsed it out and left it there. Drying his hand he went back to his bedroom and snag his laptop and brought it back out to the living room without it’s charger. Starting up his laptop he went to the one place that could put a smile on his face. Since his large breakfast is digesting he can at least work out his fingers to his friend.

Pulling up the blog from dragon dessert he sent a massage his way,

Ariesti: Man I could really use a vacation right about now.

DragonDesserts: Why don’t you just take a vacation?

Ariesti: I’d totally take a vacation in a heartbeat if it was with you.

DragonDesserts: Who knows… It might be possible. I was thinking about doing another giveaway. Maybe a week long cruise with one of my fans.

Ariesti: I’m gonna win.

Ariesti: Even if I have to do whatever is required a million times over to beat the odds.

It was a while before DD replied back to him so once he did the breath that he didn’t know he was holding released out in relief. Good he didn’t freak him out... he was posting the give-a-way prize.

“Hey everyone! It’s that time of year again when I do a large giveaway! Now you all have been so wonderful and I am feeling super on top of the world right now so I’m going to be doing my biggest giveaway EVER! In fact this time up for grabs is a week long cruise around the islands of my homeland, which will be revealed only to the winner.”

Eren smiles “You should always feel like you’re on top of the world,” he said with a happy sigh.

His little dragon winked and blew a kiss and than DD mascot moved on.

“Also included in the giveaway is private one on one cooking lessons from me personally. The Cruise will be completely private just one on one time with me and my lucky fan. So in order to win here is what you have to do…. Recently I got a wonderful surprise that has inspired my manicure for today! The only hint I’ll give you is ‘EYES’ and you have to figure out what or who has inspired this beautiful design. Good luck! The first person to answer correctly gets the prize! I’ll set up the arrangements once the prize has been won as well as announcing the lucky winner on the video after the puzzle has been solved!”

Eren looked at the color of his nails and he couldn’t help that those ‘Eyes’ he mention was the pair of eyeballs he got in his eye socket.... While everyone repeated ‘Peacock’ and it’s obvious it wasn’t ‘peacock despite the pattern and color.

Opening the comment box he typed in “Eren’s eyes.” and hit enter.

Maybe he was just arrogant but, their was a tint of red on his paint that if he moved it hand a little he could see the hint of red on them. He held his breath and waited... A second later someone else said ‘Eren’ as well and soon after everyone was repeating that name and squealing. One of them had a picture of him and he was naked of sort...

“Really? When did someone take a picture of me in a speedo?” Eren thought back for a moment than looked pissed. “God damn it Connie he sold me out. That bitch!”

While he’s swearing Connie name up and down a bing of the sound of his notification announced someone was messaging him that he open a new tab and clicked on notification in his mail before clicking on DD username.

Eren smiled so big his eyes practically sparkle like a Disney prince his hand tremble when he put his Antaeus Springer. Villa La Grande Maison 211 Grand Avenue, Colombier, Saint Barthelemy..... Um my uh my number is +1 721 510 (xxxx) everything was his number and address but, not his name.... He was never good at being on the spot unless it was his job for acting or singing....but, when DD replied back to calling him he freaked the hell out and took his laptop and hurry out of his house. He had to use his car just to drive across the damn street and break into Armin’s house.

He should of known to bust in Armin’s closed bedroom but, he did anyway and from the stench in the air they’ve been at it for a while. Eren moved to the side of the bed and pretty much showed them his laptop and try to shove his cellphone to one of them.

“Help mee help me help me he’s gonna call me and I don’t have anything to disguise my voice and I need onnnnneeeeee!”

Armin stayed frozen in his position Erwin’s cock currently buried in his ass and the semen that escape his tight hole was shyly going down to his ass or his thigh....

“....Eren hun you do know what’s going on right now don’t you?”

Eren looked between him and Erwin who face planted Armin shoulder his ass cheek was blushing...

“You’re....having sex?”

Armin thigh’s tremble, “Yeah, baby....so don’t you see what’s wrong with this picture?” He asked sweetly but, the look in his eyes was not one of patients but, Eren didn’t care since he was running out of time.

“Yeah, no one is getting up to help me find a voice changer! DD is going to call me any minute now! So get up.”

Eren shook him and Armin gave a surprised yelp whatever he did Armin grabbed his cock and tried to get out of their weird yoga position... 

“Jesus! Mini me Mini Erwin help Eren and lock the door!”

“What? You’re not gonna help? Erwin please DD gonna call any second now it’ll be too late!” He couldn’t plea his case since the two mini people that looked like the two on the bed was dragging him out by ropes.

“Noooooo! Waiiiiiiiiiit-” Shortly after the door closed and locked behind him the second DD called he was scratching on their door once he had been free from his bondage.

Mini Erwin jumped on to his shoulder and he brought the phone up close to his face. He hit the green button to accept the call but, he couldn’t say anything.

‘What am I gonna do....’ He didn’t get to think that far ahead when Erwin pinched his cheek....HARD that he yelp and cursed.

“Damn it, little Erwin that hurt!”

“A-Antaeus?”

Eren covered his mouth and than cleared his voice trying to sound lower than normal but, than Erwin replaced his voice to sound like someone else completely that he wanted to do a face plant for being so stupid.

“Yes!”

“Am I calling at a bad time?”

Eren shook his head than cleared his throat again “N-no not at all, I’m free. So free.” Eren replied a little to hyper, “I was just....I was excited to be the winner so I kinda jump that now that we are talking now....and exchanging numbers and I’m running my mouth....sorry.”

“No, it’s fine I’m pretty excited my self.”

Eren smiled crossing his legs and placed his hand on his bare knee Eren looked down and notice he wasn’t wearing any clothes but, his skin tight boxer...  ‘Oops...’ “That’s great...so um, even after the whole....cruise thing can we still talk on the phone since I have your number now... Or we can just text...by that sound you’re using a voice changer...” Eren mumble although he’s not one to talk...

Let’s get real he’s Eren.... the famous Eren that took the entertainment world by storm and continue to do so for the past ten years. He just didn’t want him to change tunes on him unless he...is in love with him.. Although, he’s been pushing his ideal on him... He likes to believe the person he talks to is Levi.. Normally he didn’t care for claw nails but, if it’s from Levi it suited him pretty damn well... He’s always been creative artistically and he loves to eat real good food... He had the same favorite color and everything and the way he typed his speech it just felt nostalgic and Eren’s picky what he eats but, he eats anything from Levi...

Well....let’s just see if he’s really Levi before I start seducing him...

“When I can take vacation?” Eren pluck Mini Armin off from tugging his under wear to his hand and mention calendar. Mini Armin pulled up the calendar and since today is a Tuesday....

“How about as soon as possible I can go as soon as tomorrow. I just need to pack stuff and I can take the private plane to be there as soon as tomorrow at noon.”

Eren said excitedly, “I can’t wait to take a vacation and since I’ve been working my ass off they can accept the short notice. I’ll let them know as soon as I’m off the phone with you.” Eren sound so child like as he asked about the cruise, “I’ll buy a lot of souvenir.”  And the conversation went on talking about the cruise and who he should be looking for. Although if his nails were of today’s time he can find him pretty quickly. Pale skin and my eye colors on his nail shouldn’t be too hard...
