Snow Patrol

Snow Patrol rocked the joint on Thursday, Sept. 21 @ the PNE forum. Since it was a GA concert, there was a lot of room on the floor. However, not wanting to mingle with pot smoking, smelly teens, Jess & I chose to sit on the side seats (covered in dust, mind you)) clost to the stage. The view was eggcellent. The sound was great and the music was fantasmic!

The highlights were definately Chocolate, Run, You're All I Have, and Open Your Eyes. Good thing about a smaller concert (than Coldplay, for e.g.) is that the lead singer is much more interactive, and talks to the crowd, plus you're close to it's more personal.

I think I'll go downstairs and blast Snow Patrol on my home theatre B&W speakers a bit.

Leaving the concert, there were people giving away free CD's outside - for Whitfield. Not wanting junk, I walked passed one briskly, but to my surprise, I heard, "Free CD, Ryan Mah?"

....

I look behind and it's Alec Maynard from VCS! All tall, lanky, and facial hair'd to the max! Well, not to the max, but grunged. So I took a CD just because it was him. What an experience that was. Big brother is watching.

Curretly, life stinks

I hate school. No one supports me in anything. My parents think I'm failing school, and all I do "sit in front of the computer." I have shitty time management skills and therefore cannot do certain things I want to do on the weekends. My fellowship has an overpowering dink who's insensitive everyone's needs and is concerned more about image than caring for people. I am, in fact, going to fail my courses. I don't know what to do in January. I should find a job, but at the same time feel inadequate to do anything. People think I'm an asshole. I am an asshole. I can't do anything correct. I can't do anything, period.

How to save a life

Step one you say we need to talk
He walks you say sit down it's just a talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
And you begin to wonder why you came

Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
And pray to God he hears you

As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
