Well I ruined concerts for myself for the rest of my life.

Was what I said to Tony as we drove home. My ears are still ringing from the concert. My voice is almost back to normal, but my ears are still ringing, my feet sore, and my head still a little woozy.

We left at about 11:45 or so, and went and got food at Claim Jumpers... haha all we got were appetizers, but they were huge. We then went to the concert and parked in E13. I could've probably snuck a camera in there easily had I tried, but I didn't want to risk losing the camera and having to worry about it, so I made my mind not to bring it before we even left.

We got there at about 2:15 to 2:30 or so, and first walked around and found out where the entrances were. We then went and stood in line and bought our shirts ($28) and then went and got in line before getting in not soon after. Theatre was pretty big, but that was no problem seeing as how we were in Section 102, row U, seats 25 and 26. FUCK Y'ALL ON THE 200 SECTION AND ON THE LAWN!!!!! Our row happened to be the very last one in our section, right underneath the reserve boxes. It turned out really good, seeing as how we had to wait for so long after we sat down, it was hot, and the boxes behind us provided us SHADE! So many empty seats tonight until Snoop, Korn, and Linkin Park came on, even the boxes.

At about 4:15 to 4:30 Less Than Jake first came on... they were alright. Didn't know any of their songs but they DID shoot out t-shirts through a bazooka launcher type deal. Aside from that they were okay. Then after them it was a small intermission before The Used came on. They were a bit better and easier to rock to, but still I didn't know any of their songs so I couldn't sing or nothing. After that we went and got drinks, which took forever. By the time we got back Snoop had already started in his first song, but we got back to our seats and rocked out with him. Hahaha, he had a whole line of skanky bitches who were probably all under 25 years old. Snoop was dope, and here's a couple lines:

...smoke weed, get drunk, and fuck!

...nana na naaaa, nana na naaa, hey ayyyyy, Snoop Dogg!

Then there was a small intermission, and Korn came on. So cool, with the drummer going on first with a red glow under his drums, and then we rocked. I only remembered some songs from the first CD, maybe one song from the second, and didn't know a lot of the other stuff but it was still awesome stuff to rock to. After Korn was done we watched some breakdancers on the overhead projector for a bit.

Finally Linkin Park came on. Geezes, I fucking rocked and sang my lungs out. My throat is only still just recovering. They fucking rocked my glasses and hat off... literally. Well, I took the hat off because it was loose and making me hot, and the glasses I took off everytime I had to headbang and jump up like crazy. They were fucking so cool, haha one of the guys (the only one that I don't know) tripped on his way to hopping up the slanted slope, and Pheonix was there to kinda catch him (oh and by the way he had a fro going on). It was hardcore screaming and headbanging and everything Linkin Park was about for about 40 minutes straight and then they pretended they were done... even broke the guitar and stuff. People left... STUPIDASSES. Oh, I gotta beat traffic! DUMBASS. They weren't done! A few more songs, and ending with their headlined song from their first CD. By then the row in front of us had just about cleared out, and as Linkin Park retook the stage I got down to the row and used the space to throw my body and arms around as I rocked with Linkin park

...for the last performance of Project Revolution, for the last act of Project Revolution, for the last concert of Linkin Park until they come out with a new record, and for the first time I've seen Linkin Park in concert.

It just doesn't get any better than that. Great seats, great friend, great bands, awesome concert. What a day.

Haha, I'm happy and I can go killing now.

Were the words out of my mouth... or should I say out of my fingers that I typed as I played SoF2. I suppose good things do come when you're playing that game. Amy called first when I was playing that game. I'll probably get to see her Tuesday (I think it's Tuesday, or is it Monday? I'll call her on Monday) night and have dinner with her. That will definetly be something I'm gonna look forward to. I just can't wait to actually see her again....... it's been soo long, and I've missed her.

So she finally called today. I continued to play SoF2 and then I got the call. It was weird, she wasn't jumping for joy but she DID get them. I can imagine it in my head, from what she told me: she was in her pajamas, and she went to get the door, and her dogs ran up and she had to stop them. They are now sitting as the center piece on her kitchen table or something like that. How nice. I can't wait to see her either... I probably won't get to talk to her again until I actually drive down there and move in. That is okay, by the time I move down there I'll probably get to see her on the first day.

Still so confused. What do I do? When will be my time?

Oh well, no use in worrying about that for now. I shall just focus on the here and now, which is going to be in the following order:
1. Project Revolution Concert
2. Seeing Amy
3. Working the cash operation
4. Packing/Loading truck
5. Hanging out with Aaron and Bryan
6. Moving in
7. Seeing Darra
So yesh, she is on the bottom of the list. Had the list been extended, there might have been a: 0. Wait for thank-you call from Darra. But now that it has passed, we will focus on the following things. Tomorrow will be so awesome, I can't wait to rock out. I just gotta remember to be careful not to lose/break my glasses while i'm rocking out. Oh yeah Anthony bought me a birthday present, what a dude... he is my best friend. Anyways, focus on the here and now, and with that let us go to bed and bid this day a goodnight. A day in retrospect: cash operations a success, phone call for overdue meeting with the lifelong crush, past due thank you call from the girl of right now, and anticipation for tomorrow's concert.

...the here and now...
