Blogroll Me!
There are people on the net that have nothing better to do
with their time
then be nasty to other people online. They post rude comments, spend hours
a day talking about sites they hate so much, that they well, spend hours a
day talking about them. (lame) They mock the owners and posters for their
opinions and their right to free speech. They expect everyone to fit into
their narrow-minded little world view or else they throw a temper tantrum.
To these people I say grow up.
Here's a bit of info people...the web is
a HUGE place. If you don't like what I say here, or who I am, or what I
do, or talk about, or what I look like, or the color of my hair, or
whatever asinine thing you dwell on, go somewhere else. It's
really, really easy. Honest. You just click the little "x" in
the corner of your browser and *poof* the offending, big, mean and nasty
site has disappeared.
I pay for this site. It's mine. That
means I can use it for whatever the hell I want to. Don't like it if I'm
bitching about something in my life? Oh fucking well. Go somewhere else.
Think I'm stupid for expressing my thoughts? Too fucking bad, don't read
them. Somewhere along the line, someone forgot this simple fact: Live
and let live Don't like me, cool, fine, whatever, I don't care.
This journal is NOT for you. It's for me. I'm not in it for popularity or
fame or anything stupid like that. I write it because I need to write and
express myself and get things out of my head sometimes. So read or don't,
it doesn't matter, but don't waste my time (or yours) bitching about it.

Just Wow
So I got home from the Sarah concert a few hours ago. And I can sum it up in just a few words: (1) Wow and (2) I need a larger (or second) memory card. *laughs* I filled it to the brim with small video clips of each but the last song (ran out of room) and a few photos. It was great though. Just amazing. A band from Sweden, The Perishers opened up for her. They were quite good and I picked up their cd. Sarah came out and did a duet with them on one of their songs. Very cool! Then there was an intermission. I got the aforementioned cd ($10) and a cool Sarah tank ($25). Got back to our seats and the show started a few minutes later. Sarah came out to huge crowd cheer. Of course. And she rocked the place. I took small snippets of video from each song so I wrote it down and here's the order. (Song name/album) Sarah explained the she's been on tour for pretty much the last two years now straight. And that this is her last North American tour for awhile. She also explains it's a little bit of her favorites of everything. (At which point the audience cheers more.) She wasn't kidding; it was a great mix of songs. By the way, the stage was beautiful and dynamic and they had it all like a huge tree with panes on either side of the trunk that they projected things on. You'll see when I upload the videos and pictures. (Delayed because my camera usb cable is still on backorder and right now I have no way to get them off the card and onto the pc! Grrr!) Anyway...playlist for the Monday, May 9th, 2005 Sarah McLachlan concert in Tampa, Florida: First up: World on Fire (Afterglow) 2nd: Building a Mystery (Surfacing) - (clip) she mentions the tour and how Florida has such great weather and it's been too long since she's been here. She also mentions what great fans we are here - 3rd: Adia (Surfacing) 4th: Perfect Girl (Afterglow) 5th: Drifting (Afterglow) - (clip) she mentions how she has an almost three year old daughter and how her daughter has traveled almost two of those three years with her on tour. but she says her daughter loves it and has already been around the world. the problem though is that she was collicy for her first six months and that was a lot of hard work. she talks about her husband and how she needed to write something special for him because of how much he endures for her and how much she loves him because of it. she said she wrote a love song (a common bit of humor through the show is that she mentions how it's "another love song" and what type it is in a really funny, don't-take-yourself-seriously way. like she's amused; of course it's another love song kind thing.) but that she didn't want it to turn out badly like hers always do. she said it's a little self-depricating but true. and it's for him. Which leads us into... 6th: Push (Afterglow) 7th: I Will Remember You (Mirrorball) 8th: Time (Afterglow) - (clip) She says as a Canadian, she's aware that this was the last place the last NHL game was played. and she makes a joke that, hey, didn't we win that one? (meaning Tampa, which of course, we did) and is the Cup still here then? She's chuckling throughout. Then she says that Lord Stanley wanted it to go to the best team - not just the best NHL team - and if the NHL wasn't playing, someone else should get it. And she mentions how there's a lot of great womens teams. (At which point, the 50% of the audience that's lesbian cheers like mad.) She chuckles some more and says she's going to stop now before people start throwing things at her - 9th: Beatles cover - "Blackbird" 10th: Fallen (Afterglow) 11th: Witness (Surfacing) 12th: Answer (Afterglow) 13th: Angel (Surfacing) 14th: Train Wreck (Afterglow) 15th: Stupid (Afterglow) 16th: Sweet Surrender (Surfacing) 17th: Posession (Fumbling Towards Ecstasy) - end - Encore #1: 1. Ice Cream (Fumbling Towards Ecstasy) *this was so cute. she had everyone sing along and had the lyrics up on the screens behind her 2. Peter Gabriel cover "Solsbury Hill" 3. Hold On (Fumbling Towards Ecstasy) 4. Fumbling Towards Ecstasy (Fumbling Towards Ecstasy) - end - Encore #2: 1. Dirty Little Secret (Afterglow) *performed just her a piano; no other band That's 22 songs total. It spanned from about 8:30pm through about 10:20pm. She was absolutely wonderful. Just amazing. I got clips of all but Perfect Girl because at that point, I was woefully and completely out of space on my memory card. I had been sitting there, frantically trying to delete stuff that I could re-shoot - like some jewelry pieces that I have't been able to upload to the pc - to free up space. Did that like five or six times but, I reached a point where I just couldn't delete anything else. So it's the only song I didn't at least get a small clip of. As soon as I can either beg, borrow or steal a card reader or something, I'll be posting the video and photos. To say I can't wait to show it off is like saying a little kid can't wait for Santa to come on xmas eve. *laughs* The show was just fantastic. I had such a great time. She's such a treat to see live and she really gets into the music and it all and you can just tell how much she enjoys it. I'm beat though. But I wanted to at least get this typed up before it got too late (ok, you know what I mean. I realize that it's 2am at this point and that's pretty late, but I mean like fresh in my mind and stuff.) I was too excited not to write the entry up. Thank you Sarah for a wonderful night. And thanks again to Cy for making it possible. Night to all. *edit: note to self. next time, don't type this up at 2am. You make errors! *chuckles*
