Journal rant 2/13/23 a look back in life.
Life’s crazy after March 2020 when the world stood still and the countries started locking down when Covid-19 started ravishing our daily lives. Almost 2 years in during Covid. No shows, no concerts, no diy house shows too, no gigs in site the scene was practically dead under Covid restrictions and for the protection of us too. It was crazy to think when will life get back to normal? Fast forward to late 2021 and the beginning of 2022 shows started to come back slowly. It gave me some hope the music isn’t dead and the scene will recover in time. I just had this strong desire to film what little shows were going on in California at that time before hearing talks on the news of future lockdowns. Crazy to think I gambled my health, my mental health, at times my job to travel around. I’ve traveled alone most of the time to these shows with unknown exception of what was gonna happen to me. I’ve could of been in some shitty situations and got fucked up. luckily I’ve mustered up enough courage and said “fuck it” I’m gonna go explore the unknown. From mid 2022 to now 2023 the underground music scene just went off like a fucking nuclear explosion. Shows pop off like crazy from LA/SoCal, Sacramento to Fresno to Bakersfield, and eventually the Bay Area started catching up. It was too much to handle and overwhelming at time for me. Like fuck lol too much shows in one day at times. I hella wanna document it. I hella wanna document it so bad. Cause we’ll never known if another pandemic or catastrophic world event might shutdown the world again. I hope it doesn’t happen or come to fruition but my paranoia lingers. I’m enjoying it while I can and being grateful for the opportunities it has offered to me. Just putting my 2 cents in the punk scene. 🫶🏽✌🏽🍻 cheers foo’s! 🎸🥁🔇
