"she always wears blue.."
you know you loved dashboard confessional at the beginning of his career.. i remember his first show in portland.. oh yeah this was back when it was JUST chris & not a whole band.. it was mine & kenney's first ever date. :D so, i have other reasons to have a special place for him & his music.. joy was w/ us for that show & i can honestly say that was the only show i've seen just for the opening band- dashboard confessional. i think the headlining band was alkaline trio- not sure.. but anyways, i'm reminiscing b/c i was youtubing old bands i used to be into & came across a few DC songs. :D not only was DC's first portland show mine & kenney's first official date, but it was also the night of our first kiss.. no, that wasn't fast.. don't think *gasp* they kissed on their FIRST DATE?! we had been good friends for a year & had liked each other for a while.. so it wasn't like an 'outta the blue' type thing.. :D side note: it was followed by 4 years of dating & then 6 months of an engagement before we got married. :D happy story, i know. :D
when i listen to this music i can completely go back to how i felt in my early 20's & how i felt dating kenney & when i spent time w/ my good friends back in those days.. its weird now, i'm a mom & have my own kids yet i'm still very much in love w/ kenney & my feelings for him are exactly, if not stronger, than they were when we were newly dating.. i seriously pray i always feel in-love w/ kenney. i know realistically it won't always be that way, but i pray that it always stays passionate & wonderful & young. our love is young. :D meaning its willing to fight through anything to stay together & has almost a sense of being naive, but not in a negative way.. make sense? :D anyways, its a blessed love & a strong love. a love that originally comes from a loving Creator.. its b/c of His love that our love is so great.
so.. i'm done. sorry. :) ranting..
back when it was more like this.. granted this was more recent.. i saw him somewhere circa 2001/2002
