Okay, so prepare for a humonglously long update! I couldn't be bothered to do it last week, and it's only getting done now in bits and pieces as I do my paper for History of Art. So to start off, the concert week before last was fucking amazing! We got there about an hour before it started and watched the roadies set up for the first band, Hinder. I didn't know they were from Oklahoma City, OK though! Something I learned. Um, they played all the goodies and the lead singer was constantly going from one side of the stage to the other. They played for about a half hour maybe a bit longer, then there was a break while they set up for Chevelle. Meh, we really didn't care much for them. We got up during the break between them and Hoobastank to go get me a shirt and ran into my cousin Jamie coming back from getting hers. Her favorite band was Chevelle and mine was a 3 way tie, so all BUT Chevelle! I ended up getting 2 shirts because I couldn't decide. One is black with Nickelback's photo on front and tour dates and their album cover on the back. The other is a warm gray color with the lyrics to their song Rockstar on back (lyrics at bottom of post).
By the time we managed to get them, Hoobastank had started, I was pissed as I missed them doing Inside of You. But it was totally awesome as they were starting Born to Lead as we were going back down the stairs. Cool because that song starts out with army marching and every step I took was in sync with that! There were so fucking amazing, Kira I wish you could've seen them!!! Nickelback came on at about quarter of 10, with a canon going off then a heartbeat sound effect that kept getting faster and faster. It worked as by the time they dropped the curtain and burst into their song Animals everyone was screaming like mad! I jumped, danced and moshed their entire set and was drenched by the time it was over! They gave AC/DC a run for their money and I never thought I'd see anyone as good as them entertainment wise. It was quarter of 2 by the time we got home and poor mom had to get up at 3.30 for work! I ended up loosing my voice for a few days, which I mean, is to be expected after screaming and singing at the top of your lungs for the better part of 5 hours!
Also that weekend there was the missing girl saga. Poor thing. 17 and disappeared after running out of gas in Dumas on her way home from her boyfriends house. They found her a week later (the Saturday before Labor Day) near our house outside town. I knew they'd found her as I was out in the hammock when a helicopter flew over the house, low and slow. Mom told me last week that they think this 40ish truck driver from Dumas killed her, but I haven't heard anything else. It was bizarre though as they were talking about her and Dumas on the World News and stuff. Most fame D-Town's ever had.
My birthday was Friday thanks Bec for the shoutout! 23 is good so far! I got $50 from mom and daddy, markers, sketchbook, and art set from Shelby, and a Sudoku Game from Cindy and Sammy. Plus Friday night they blindfolded me and took me out for dinner at Cozumel's which is my favorite resturant. Sammy hates it, didn't eat hardly any so it was a sacrifice for him! Then we went to Bop's for milkshakes. We were headed out to The Park which has minigolf, ice skating and go karts but it rained a bit so they were closed. We came back to Pearl and went to the bowling alley which has indoor mini golf and bowling with about 10 pool tables ect. LOADS of fun!
Still enjoying Curves and school isn't too bad. It's a bit hectic already though so I'm dropping my PE course and I just don't have enough time to study for that one as well as my 3 art courses and New testament. Lyrics for Rockstar to follow. Everyone should get that song even if they're not Nickelback fans! *looks pointedly at Jenni* And also, thanks love, for the new layout!
I'm through with standing in line
to clubs we'll never get in
It's like the bottom of the ninth
and I'm never gonna win
This life hasn't turned out
quite the way I want it to be
I want a brand new house
on an episode of Cribs
And a bathroom I can play baseball in
And a king size tub big enough
for ten plus me
I'll need a credit card that's got no limit
And a big black jet with a bedroom in it
Gonna join the mile high club
At thirty-seven thousand feet
I want a new tour bus full of old guitars
My own star on Hollywood Boulevard
Somewhere between Cher and
James Dean is fine for me
I'm gonna trade this life for fortune and fame
I'd even cut my hair and change my name
[CHORUS]
'Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars
And live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars
The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
We'll all stay skinny 'cause we just won't eat
And we'll hang out in the coolest bars
In the VIP with the movie stars
Every good gold digger's
Gonna wind up there
Every Playboy bunny
With her bleach blond hair
Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar
Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar
I wanna be great like Elvis without the tassels
Hire eight body guards that love to beat up assholes
Sign a couple autographs
So I can eat my meals for free
I think I'm gonna dress my ass
with the latest fashion
Get a front door key to the Playboy mansion
Gonna date a centerfold that loves to
blow my money for me
I'm gonna trade this life
For fortune and fame
I'd even cut my hair
And change my name
'Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars
And live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars
The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
We'll all stay skinny 'cause we just won't eat
And we'll hang out in the coolest bars
In the VIP with the movie stars
Every good gold digger's
Gonna wind up there
Every Playboy bunny
With her bleach blond hair
And we'll hide out in the private rooms
With the latest dictionary and
today's who's who
They'll get you anything
with that evil smile
Everybody's got a
drug dealer on speed dial
Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar
Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar
I'm gonna sing those songs
that offend the censors
Gonna pop my pills
from a pez dispenser
When they ask why I drink all day
I'll say because I can
I'll get washed-up singers writing all my songs
Lip sync em every night so I don't get 'em wrong
Then listen to the fans tell me how damn good I am
I'm gonna trade this life for fortune and fame
I'd even cut my hair and change my name
