COACHELLA!!!

Waddup guys, it’s been way too long since I’ve last spilt my heart out. It’s been a crazy few weeks. I feel like things are starting to blend together, and that’s never a good thing in my book. It’s times like these I can truly appreciate the solitude I’m imprisoned in for the next few hours. It can be calming…currently, it’s not. Lol! One can only hope for so much. I’m just looking forward to this weekend. It’s my mini vacation from reality. LITERALLY. I have the privilege to attend America’s BIGGEST musical festivial!! COACHELLA!!!!

For those who don’t know what Coachella is, it is a “multi-day annual music and arts festival, organized by Goldenvoice (a subsidiary of AEG Live) and held at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, in the Inland Empire's Coachella Valley. The event features many genres of music including rock, indie, Hip Hop and electronic music as well as large sculptural art. The event has several stages/tents set-up throughout the grounds, each playing live music continuously.” Its two weeks long, but I’m only going for the first weekend. I do have obligations for those who suspect I just play and Facebook all day [WAIT. actually…that IS all I do all day. *shrug*] Nonetheless, it pays the bills, I shall not complain (unless a professor keeps me here for over an hour and a half after I clock out, then you will not hear the end of it. That’s a promise. [A thousand apologize to Dan who has to listen to my petty bullshit all day]. Getting back on track, COACHELLA!!! I feel honored that I get to go. I’ve been planning on going for the last three years, but… let’s be honest, I’m a little bitch. It is what it is.I didn’t have the balls to roll up to this festival by myself, UNTIL NOW! Yeee. That’s right. I’M ROLLIN SOLO [YOLO!] Stag; uno mas, by my lonesome and IDGAF how it looks. Life waits for no man (or woman). “Am I scared?!” Hell effing yes! I ain’t no Sasha Fierce, but I’ll make sure I drink enough 5 hour energy to hype myself up and throw myself into a crowd of new-aged hippies and do questionable things (one of which is not showering for a day or so) in order to gain some fair-weather friends for a weekend. Hey, who knows! Maybe they’ll stand beside me at my wedding some 50 years down the road. Tickets originally sell at $335. 0_o But it’s worth every penny. Think of Woodstock, or Burning man…BUT BIGGER! I’m roughin it out hipster style. Got my backpacking gear ready, tent, mobile shower, and groovy accessories! I even made fairy wings and I’m dying my hair red for a whole weekend! [Stand by for pictures.]

But the point in all this isn’t to make a statement, it’s for my self-liberation. We all somehow end up in this rut after a high point in life and it can get pretty obfuscating. Once in a while, it’s permissible to allow ourselves to break out of our shells and let loose. So here’s to self-expression. May we all learn to love ourselves, daily and never forget how awesome life is, especially if we have something and someone to live for. And there you have it... Till next month home skillets. DUECES! -Tin
