  ZZ Top And One Crazy Night In NYC

  So last night was the night I went to see ZZ Top in concert...well, let's start out from that morning.

  I went into school that morning very nervous. Mostly because I had 2 tests to take. Both tests were in the morning and after that I was pretty much home free. At the end of the day my school decided to have a pep rally. Awesome! After the pep rally, as if the day couldn't get any better, play practice was cancelled (and I had a HUGE monologue I needed to spit out from memory alone).

  Now before I even leave school, my gf decides she wants me to hang out a little with her. That's fine... but little did I know hang out meant go to some random place in the school where no one else hangs around and make out. lol.

  So after that I get into my car and drive home, and pretty much I shower and get ready. I pick up my 2 friends going with me and we head over to the train station. We arrive at NYC around 7. Here's the thing though, show starts at 8 and it's a good 40-something streets away. So we decide to hoof it. lol. Now there's about 10 minutes left and my friend decides he's hungry. lol and me...I can't resist food. So we hit up McDonald's and then we walk with food in our hands. The entire time, no matter how fast we walked, every time we came up to a light this little old lady always somehow got in front of us. Haha it was the funniest thing, we were like "woah! didn't we just pass that old lady?" It was as if she was faster than us...

  So we get to the show at about 8:15...late of course.. and it's actually all right because Blackberry Smoke was opening for ZZ Top... and I'm not really a huge fan of Blackberry Smoke. We get our shirts and then get into our seats.

  Let me just say this, ZZ Top was AMAZING! They were very funny onstage and their music was great.

  After the show we realize we gotta walk another 40-something blocks back, but we only had less than an hour because the last train would leave and we'd be stranded in NYC all night... so we get a cab and ride there. So once we're on the train we get bored and decide to sing out loud. So here's myself and 2 other people singing random songs on the train while people stare. Fun, right? Yes, but not so fun when you realize that you were too busy to pay attention to the stops because you were singing!

  We get off 2 stops after our town... there are no more trains for the night, we're hungry, alone, cold, stranded in some weird town at 2am, and above all, I had too much soda to drink! Man... when nature calls, nature calls!

  So anyway some poor defenseless tree has to endure my soda, lol, but after that we're still lost. After walking a mile in the WRONG direction (lol...yes, we really did) we decide to turn around and try to get to our town. Eventually though my friend's sister picks us up and drives us to the town where I left my car.

  So now it's like 3am and we decide we're hungry. And no... White Castle doesn't work for us...we need WHITE ROSE! So after a 15 min drive we get some burgers at 3am and then we decide to call it a night. Did I mention there was this huge spider crawling in my car!? I killed it but...man that was a close call.

  I take everyone home and then when I finally get home its close to 4am. My parents...for some reason, are still up and worried (even though I told them I'd be home late). And they...are....PISSED!

  Basically it was a fun night, we got to see an amazing legendary band, and above all, 3am burgers sure do hit the spot. I woke up at 3pm today lol. It was worth it though and I gotta do it again sometime. Oh and my friend and I are seriously considering flying over to England one of these days just to see Led Zeppelin... that's thousands of dollars and thousands of miles right there just to see them. My parents won't like that idea...but we may just have to do it.. lol

  Summer Plans

  Hello ya'll. It's been a while and it's good to be on. Anyway basically my absence is due to work. Finishing school was an amazing treat, but I've been working almost every day. I'm making quite a few bucks if you know what I mean so it's been worth it.

  As if my absence hasn't been bad enough, I'll be leaving GS for another 3 weeks due to a good old fashioned Eurotrip. It should be great fun. My plans afterwards include more work and of course, some cash spending, because I do love expensive things. I recently ordered a Windows Vista Ultimate, quite the big price tag there. I plan on ordering a Zune too and maybe some accessories for my 360. I've been trying to get on the Live bandwagon so hopefully by the time I get back from my Eurotrip I'll join some of you guys on some online gaming, so be on the lookout for me.

  For you fellow WWEv'ers who are reading this, what are some good games coming out soon that you guys will be getting into, I'd like to play some of you guys online. Also make sure you get that CoD4 beta this summer that should be a blast.

  Anyway until next time I post another blog, I'll see you guys around. I'll try to post a few times on WWEv if I can but I don't know if I'll have the time.

  Also, 6 days til my bday! I'll be celebrating it in Europe however so I won't be able to stop by and blog about it, but if you happen to get on here leave a comment if you wish I'll check it when I get back. See ya guys.

  The Inner Workings Of An Insane Mind

  Written By Ervin

   

  We seldom lose focus in life, and the directions we take are not always as navigational as they seem to appear. It is in our minds where reality truly takes place. The thoughts we keep to ourselves, the overwhelming desires, and even the jaunting voice in our heads, is where we seek our advice. It is the inner monologue that can't stop narrating every waking moment of our lives. Are we destined for a real future? Or do we just ponder into it, creating passionate goals we can never reach for as long as we have to reach them. Impossible is nothing, one might say, but we know better. In reality, we love to fail. We accept it and we await it. Never have we failed to set up a safety net for ourselves as we expect the worst. Failure was a seemingly daunting illusion, but it has become a susceptible reality within our dreams.

  In the pandect of things, we are all insane. When was the last time anyone was ever real? When has any heartfelt emotion, whether it be love or pure hatred, when has it ever been real? Perhaps it is our mind that tricks us into believing we can feel. In a tangible world, we are all expected to feel the outburst of the emotional color spectrum. The vivid light that binds to our souls, flaring with red hatred and blue calmness. From the loathing brightness of the vast yellow to the eerie calamity of the greys, shading our lives away. The ruins and the caverns in our minds echo with grim laughter as we hide away forever.

  What is but what has always been? A voice in our minds. A little tiny creature that we feed and care for. And sometimes, we starve. We crave its attention so we imbibe it, and strike it, and we hope that we get that attention that we've been tracing for so long. What if we want this? What if we force anger and hatred towards ourselves? Is there really such a thing as self control? Maybe there is. Maybe the little monster we've been raising inside of ourselves is really just a part of us we've neglected. Are we to believe this darker side of ourselves that has spawned has always been? That it has always existed? Is that what we're really looking for, our own selves? In the scoped surrounding of this frenzy, it is expected that a part of each and every person has occupied a dark corner in the mind. It tries to show itself by hinting at such relentless unplausable illusions as love. It tries to mock the host with a burning desire for want. We all want. We all crave the attention we never really deserve in the first place.

  What is love anyway? It can be seen by many as a buildup of memories we enjoy. We like to love. We almost want it. It isn't until we have love that we realize the true meaning of the term. It doesn't exist, and it never will. It is but mere shreds of unrequited motive to be in the vacinity of something good. A person can never hold such a thing. It is too vast to be inundated whole. In reality the demon creeping in and out of our minds, the bad thoughts we supress, uses love. Love is a weapon. It has been designed to cause pain. A broken heart is nothing but a stab at an old memory we found attractive. In our minds we can bend and twist the emotional color spectrum to torture ourselves.

  So we cry. We sit there and cry and loathe ourselves for distant losses. Is it at all possible that we like to feel? The idea of a perfect being, a godly figure of unmatchable power, is crossing the line. We like the feeling of vulnurability. When taken into consideration, it is our safety net. Our defense against failure. Failure is our shield against failure. What better way to protect than using the intrusion against itself. A broken shield of broken dreams. Heart shaped armor with tearful cracks running into itself. So we cry again. Hopeing that it can make us feel better. Hopeing to give ourselves the illusion that our sorrows can all be repented like we seem to write our sins away. When the truth comes out, we are all insane. We grieve over trials and tribulations we create. The depth of our minds has been a stored piece of our own puzzle for ages. We fail to see its outline. Love does not exist, it is the wisp of the outer reality. The truth of the matter is that reality exists only within the shell we call our minds. It can't be forgiven, only accepted. We are all insane.
