Hmm, think I am too old to go to concerts anymore, at least next time I really should make sure I have ear plugs.
For those who don't know of them, Amadan is a celtic punk / rock kind of band. Most reviews say punk, but given the lack of shouting and actual music talent they seem to have, have to go with rock. Apparently they are a really big thing here in the north-west... lots of people were shocked when I said I never heard of them.
Turns out they are some of the nicer and more interesting guys I have met in quite awhile. I am hoping to hook up with one of them in the near future to go over biofilms as both of us can geek out on them quite well.
The interview went well, most the questions I came up with were used, and the band said the interviewer asked some really good questions. Of course, didn't get CREDIT for those... but all in all it was fun. My camera work still needs some work... but I think I did ok at it.
Made me realize something last night. I finally understand why pretty people annoy me. They are used to getting whatever they want. It isn't that they are bad people really. They just have things much easier than those of us average or below. This is from observation more than anything, seeing how my 'pretty' friend was able to get things done that I would never be able to pull off. Not due to confidence (ok... maybe due to that a little), but based on the fact that given pleasing looks, it opened up more doors.
You know though, I am pretty happy with the way I am. Yeah, would like to be able to focus a bit more, remember more things. But otherwise I think I am a pretty nice guy. One who if he didn't have to work so hard to get what he wanted out of life, may be quite a bit more selfish and a jerk. Of course, wouldn't mind being pretty too... ;)
Go with what you've got, take what pleasure you can out of life, never be upset over what you don't have and use what you do have to the fullest and life will be good.
