Joshua Radin

I went to the Joshua Radin concert last night at HOBA. It was so amazing. I think I just may have been extra happy about not having to be shoved around by a bunch of little sweaty emo kids. I loved the opening acts, Hana Pestle and Erin McCarley. I will definitely download music from both artist as soon as it's available. I really just enjoyed the whole night. Just me and my sis, a few drinks, and great music made for a perfect night. It was so relaxing. I went in as just a lite Joshua Radin fan and not really knowing what to expect form the whole show. I was really only familiar with a few a his songs, but now I need more. I can't wait for his new album.

No other shows currently scheduled. I'll will just have to wait and see what the fall tour season brings my way.

Projekt Revolution

There is nothing better than attending Linkin Park concert to help release all of your pent up aggression. Sometimes I just feel like screaming at myself, but screaming in unison with 15,000 people also helps. So basically LP kicked ass as usual. I am still in awe at how truly amazing their set was. The crowd was great and I had the most amazing seats. I would have to say that it was 10 times better than the Staples show a few months ago, not that that show was bad, this one was just that much better. I also really enjoyed Steal Drum Corp. They definitely have a unique sound. I just may have to pick up the album. The Bravery also played a set. I fucking love that band. This was my fourth time seeing them and they get better with each show. Chris Cornell was definitely a highlight, especially his duet with Chester. He nearly stole the show from LP. I've gone to many great shows this year, but so far Projekt Revolution was by far the best. I will for sure be back next year. All in all it was a spectacular night. I even got out of the parking lot in record time.

Denmark...finally

I was supposed to be leaving for Denmark on Friday, but sometimes plans just don't work out the way you hoped they would. Now plans are set for Dec. 17 - Jan. 2. It's going to be cold...really cold. I would definitely have preferred to do my solo travels through Scandinavia during the warm summer months, but I guess I will just have to settle for the cold winter months. I'm excited, but not as excited as I initially was when I was first planning this trip. I sure my excitement will grow as the months pass and my obsessive need to plan takes over.

I have a lot of saving to do, which is going to be difficult as I like to spend. I refuse to rely on credit cards like I did last winter for my New York vacation. That fucked me over for months afterward. A large hotel bill and airlines tickets, I never want to be the person who has to front all the money again. At least this time it's just me so I don't have to carry the weight of others. I really need to not be so generous. Life will have to take a back seat for the next four months, but that really shouldn't be a problem for me. I will just have to hang out at home and save, save, save.

So now the planning begins. What countries to visit, what sites to see, transportation, and lodging; there are a lot of decisions that need to be made and I can be quite indecisive. Denmark seems so far away, but time will fly and it will be here in no time. I can hardly wait!

Healthy Living

I am trying to get healthy. I'm not trying that hard, but still I am trying. I've been able to get to the gym a few days a week for the last couple of months, which has left me feeling pretty good. I haven't had any fast food in the last couple of months, in fact I really haven't eaten out all that much. I'm getting the recommended eight hours of sleep and drinking at least eight cups of water a day. Why? Because that's what they say you should do. I even had a physical a few days ago. Apparently I am not dying, so everything looks good.
