Is the name "Godsmack" offensive? Anyways...
(This is a short post)
Less than an hour ago, I was in the Sullivan Arena attending the Godsmack concert. Let me tell you this, that was the best concert I've ever been to since Korn played at the Denai'na Center in March of 2010! I'm dead serious.
The opening band was a local band from here in Alaska. They are called Wichita Shadows. After they did their 45 minutes on stage, the singer walked across the front row and handed out the paper with the songs they played. And my awesome bro grabbed one from him and gave it to me. And I shook his hand and the bassists hand. Then 30 minutes later, Godsmack walked on the stage and surprised us (the very rowdy and energetic crowd) because they were scheduled to play 10 minutes before they did.
They played all the songs I liked. Legit.
I sang along to all of them. Legit.
The mosh pit at the end of the concert had to have been the most deadly one ever. Legit
The crowd I was in was amazingly active and cooperative. Legit.
My cousin Teddy came with us and had as much fun as I did because he has a love for mosh pits and rock concerts. Legit.
There was a girl there with light blue hair that was amazingly pretty with a short skirt and white dress shirt that was torn. I told her that I loved her hair and she replied "Aww thanks" in her sweet voice. I got another free hug. Legit.
I am going to be very sore tomorrow. Suck.
I saw Nikki Stringfield... No words can describe that feeling.
I'm ready to go home now.

The Fair
Me and my bros are in Anchorage and luckily there wasn't a creepy looking gent chillin' out in the lobby as we checked in to our hotel.
The fair is over now. Colbie Caillat was the last act for the AK state fairs 2011 AT & T concert series and she was amazing. So was Staind, Gabriel Iglesias and OneRepublic. We did so many small things like won a few games and tried out the rides (including the ejection seat.) We won a ginormous stuffed dog from popping 300+ balloons by throwing darts at them. And I got to carry the very large stuffed dog around the fair all day. Did I mention of the 8 hours we were there we won the pooch the first 20 minutes we were there? Carrying a dog that big filled with cotton can be tiring. But I got a lot of offers that I had to turn down because it was me, James, Softo, Morgan and Dan that won the dog. We won it together.
Stranger-"hey how much do you want for the dog?
Me-"$600"
*Guy gets out his wallet*
Morgan-"Josh! C'mon!"
Me-"dangit..."
Enough of the stories of the festivities. I want to talk about the concerts!
First we (Me Softo James Dan Morgan and Uncle Chris) went to Staind. It was a good concert but uncle got us general admission tickets and that means we have to sit in the back on an elevated piece of land. I will tell you a story about this ticket business after.
So Staind was nothing big to talk about, but Gabriel Iglesias was hilarious as expected. During the wait for him to get on the stage, and as we were hogging the front of the general admission floor, this girl behind us started chanting at the top of her lungs "SIT DOWN WE CAN'T SEE! CAN YOU PLEASE SIT DOWN?!" It was then that I noticed that everyone in the front row of the general admission floor was standing up and blocking the very upset tardy party goers view of what we were joyfully taking in. I was going to sit down but Dan didn't want too. And from the looks of it, no one in the front wanted too either. FYI everyone in the back was sitting down. If they were smart they would stand up and notice that there is nothing to be excited about. I thought to myself. But I guess general admission people HAVE to sit down through the show. And after I finally decided to sit down and be a law abiding citizen, I hear the ENTIRE back row cheer and shout "WOOOOOOOO!" as me Dan and Softo sat down. Oh how I wanted to stand back up and stand on the elevated rail and just laugh...
OneRepublic was the best one performance wise. We got reserved tickets because uncle decided to get reserved tickets to only one concert and not even watch the entire thing. We might as well have got reserved tickets to Colbie Caillat (which i thought we did because we got reserved tickets to OneRepublic) I was very mad at my uncle. Who ditches a concert that they paid extra money for? C'mon uncle... Anyway, the singer was very attentive to the crowd. I think he was drunk, yet he sang awesomely.
Colbie. Oh Colbie. I really really regret not calling the guy that was selling reserved tickets to your show back because we were rushing to your concert all the way in Palmer. She was amazing. Even from the very very back.
This is pretty much it from our fair experience.. I thought I would have more to share, but I guess this is it.
P.S.
Little children at a OneRepublic concert or any concert have the advantage to deal an agonizing blow to the shin as you try to cut in front of their mother. The bruise is still there...

"Josh quotes"
I was speaking of angry poems when i remembered about my poem about the stars. Apparently i was angry at the stars for never showing themselves at night. BUT no one is going to read it because it's weird. BUT you can enjoy these quotes from a 6 year old me.
These are all me:
"Life takes forever to end."
"I like to get chased by dogs with rabies."
"A kitchen is where you kill things and cook them for your nasty humans."
"Doing dishes is my worst enemy."
"I wish I could be dirt so I can be stepped on."
"I'd rather be a piece of paper falling off a skyscraper."
"My friend is dead in the ground right now he's probably really cold right now."
"I went to the airport to go to Kotzebue, I made a mistake and ran over a kangaroo." .......?
"My third brother is dead."
"Don't worry I won't miss you."
"I lived on Earth most of my life."
"My friend James is lame at games because he's gay but he says nay while softo says yes way."
I was a strange little chap when I was 6 years old. I have pages and pages of these little sayings that I found. Most of them are school papers about my family and friends... I don't remember any of this. I seemed like a suicidal 6 year old jerk!

AK state fair
the Alaska state fair happens only once a year. I think..
Usually, every year, the people that make the fair happen have a line-up of old and seasoned bands of all genre's to perform at the fairgrounds in Palmer. Here's a taste of what they've brought to Alaska.
CCR (Creedence Clearwater Revival)
Sean Kingston (But he's cool)
Blue October
Uncle Kracker (He's a jerk and coming again this year and me and my friend Dan Kosbruk are going to start a mosh pit in his audience. They will never see it coming.)
and a bunch of other lame old bands that i can't seem to remember. I only went to the fair once for one day...
HERE's the line-up this year
Chevelle (But I'm going to miss them because we get into A-town when they perform in Palmer...)
Craig Morgan
Queensryche (eh)
Foghat
Charlie Daniels
Rat Pack (NOT FRANK SINATRA! just three posers paying tribute to the ACTUAL rat pack of Frank Sinatra, Sammy something and another guy..)
Uncle Kracker
STAIND!
Gabriel Iglesias (He's a comedian he's funny)
OneRepublic
& Colbie Caillat
We are attending Staind, Gabriel, OneRep, and Colbie and a show in Anchorage afterwards... Godsmack. I can't wait to see how James handles a rock concert. My cousin Teddy only puked his face off after a small 10 song set list at Five Finger Death Punch.
I cannot wait. Buuut I'm also excited for fair activities too. Rides and running away from people in suits that are of food or animals. I've never tried that last one, but it sounds fun. And the rides range from roller coaster type rides to the little tea cup contraption. I'm not going to explain because I don't really know how to explain them. I've only went once.
P.S.
I'm also bringing my xbox with me so i can try xbox live with actual high speed internet AND prove to Morgan and Uncle Chris that they are NOT the best ever at call of duty. I'm going to find a match with Japanese people and make them go against Morgan and Uncle. They will not stand a chance. Their fast talking and weird dialects will throw Morgan and uncles game off.

Jake can tear it up
Jaydon was watching cool youtube videos with me. We were watching videos of people doing drum covers and things along that line. Then I pull up a video and he says, "Josh why is Jake playing those drums?" He thinks this person is Jake.
So here you go. Watch Jakes alternate life form mess things up on the drums. That's a good thing.
P.S.
This guy is awesome I've been watching him for over 3 years on youtube. He sends me tips and drum excercises sometimes. Mainly when I ask. He's 18 now. In this video he was 14. His youtube account is "MetalGrand" Seriously check out his videos they're the best.

Cure My Tragedy
Last night was a terrible night for Peter, Jake, Kim, and Danielle. Their team leader in a mischievious game of hide and seek at 2 am in the morning, has broke his ankle. Or sprained really really badly. Here's how it all went down...
Peter was whining because he didn't want to be it alone. He didn't want to be it at all. But we made him be it anyways. So he decides to be big dummy and count to 10. But I was close to a very shadowy, dark area by Linda's house. I hide there. My choice was wise, as I was the last one that they were seeking. I eventually exposed my position and decided to jump into the light. Wrong choice. I jumped and my ankle landed sideways on a pile of 2 by 4's and I fell to my death. It really seemed like it anyways.
I roll onto my back and say, "greeeeeat.." I don't know why I didn't say something more related to the situation like, "OMG MY FOOT I'M GOING TO FREAKING DIE SAVE ME NOW!!" But I get up and I hear 3 clicks in my ankle. And that's when it started hurting.
So I go inside limping and mom says, "What happened to you?" Then I tell her.
Now I am sitting on my bed blogging about last nights predicament. My ankle still clicks when I move it and it is painful. Yes it's swollen. I am in pain and it sucks.
P.S.
Cross your fingers for me to be sent out on a plane to get it checked and that every room in the hospital in Dillingham to be full and in use for a very long time so that I may be sent to Anchorage to attend the hospital there and be able to watch Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2. Thanks.
