My Heros ♥

OH MY GOD. (by the way, isn't my shirt in the picture the best shirt EVER?)

AMAZING show with the Foo Fighters last night. AMAZING. Man, if anything should be called smashing, it should be that.

Dave Grohl was two feet away from me. I have never been that close to a performer, ever!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

I'm sorry, I can hardly contain this excitement of mine.

I think I almost cried during Everlong (which started out slow, with just Dave and a guitar, and then was rocked out by the end).

Some highlights:

• The drummer from the Police performed for one song.
• Dave Grohl's hilarious jokes, for example, "You guys try playing a gig after the 'Big Me' video came out. How would you like to have fuckin' mentos thrown at your head?"
  
• "Best of You" and "All My Life" gave me chills performed live.
• I've never heard any venue scream that loud. Even at Justin freakin' Timberlake's concert.
• They played a 2-hour set.That's over 20 songs, biiiiiitches!

I am still reeling from this amazing experience. There is just something about rock concerts that dominate over other concerts. They are cathartic. Any secret pain or heartache is pounded out of you with every drumbeat and strum of the guitar.

I couldn't bring my camera in the venue, so sorry--I don't have pictures of Dave Grohl freakin' 2 feet away from me!! But my friend got some on his camera phone, so maybe I'll post his pictures later.

ANYWAY, I won't go on forever.

I love music.

Um, Yay.

FOO FIGHTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOING DOWN TONIGHT!!! YAAAAAAAY!

I ♥ concerts!

P.S. My dad still has his job.
P.P.S. I learned some SHOCKING news yesterday...I'll explain later.

I'll be writing a new post soon.

Eh.

Yeah, today was my birthday, but today was...blah.

I've had much better birthdays before. Maybe I expect too much.

The test and the paper didn't help, but that wasn't the reason my birthday wasn't up to par.

The reason is that my dad may be losing his job (he is a teacher) and yeah, this puts a lot of strain on the family. It's that feeling of helplessness, you know? It's news I didn't really want to hear on my Bday, but I understand why they told me.

Eh. I'm still going to a Foo Fighters concert on Wednesday. So there is SOMETHING to look foward to. We always have to keep looking foward.

A True Love Lasts a Lifetime

I've always loved the Foo Fighters. Simply, they kick ass. They have a kind of classic rock feel that is satisfying down to the bone. There's something about primal drum beats and great guitar riffs that brings out the animal in me and makes me truly smile. It makes me want to tear something apart.

And whaddaya know? They're coming out with another great album. "Best of You" is a great single.

The thing I like the most about the Foo Fighters is the lyrics to their songs: they are tough, touching, tear-at-your-heart lyrics. Really these boys (or dave grohl) have mastered the art of singing about sappy subjects (such as undying love--everlong!!) and making it sound super cool so girls and guys alike can sing along. That truly is kick ass. Eh, and I don't have to say it--I'm sure the boys and their fans know it already.

I will make sure to go buy their album on June 14th.
