They Lied When They Said the Good Die Young



Let me give you a brief rundown of all the bands last night.
Metro Station: decent, poppy, happy. Took awhile to get people moving so we could get up to the front.
MAE: they have really gone downhill. It breaks my heart. I just can't get into Singularity, 3/4 of the band has changed, and they just don't rock as hard as they used to...
Motion City Soundtrack: decent, poppy, happy. Swore a lot though... no thanks.
Anberlin: Probably the best thing to happen to music since I don't know when. They get better and better every time. They were clearly the best band there, pretty much everyone that was there was there to see them, and I think I experienced some sort of nirvana. Or euphoria, maybe I should say that, even though I'm pretty sure it was nirvana... There are no words to describe how utterly fantastic they truly are. I wish they had been headlining last night, that pretty much would have been the best thing ever.
So here are some pictoral highlights: The first is Stephen Christian, Anberlin's lead singer. I wish I could have gotten more pics of them but the crowd was pushing so hard it was pretty much impossible. The second is the lead singer of MAE, the third... well I don't really know but it looks cool.
Other highlights of the evening included:
-Anberlin
-Nate trying to take off his jacket
-Anberlin
-Dale dancing

Oh, and did I mention that Anberlin is pretty much amazing?

Did you know the BYU HBLL also has a blog? I mean, you put a link to the BYU-H one, but I think the HBLL deserves a little respect and love.

I think that last picture serves to capture the intensity of the evening.

Hi Lindsey. I am glad you had fun and that you were safe. I am too old for the concert scene now. I used to go to concerts in junior high and high school, though...
Translation: I used to be cool.

Dear Lindsey,
I have just realized that you are leaving Provo! There wont be anymore running into you outside of the library, or the JFSB. I'm a little despondent.

Green is the Color that Everyone Sees all Around Me

Today I had a meeting with the Professor over the Public Health Internship department at BYU. The following is a conversation that actually happened on my way there.

Together We're Invincible

If you can't handle the atmosphere of concerts don't go. That is all I have to say. I wish I had said it to the girl standing in front of me at the Muse concert last night. Instead I began plotting her downfall, but since I don't know her name or where she lives, I suppose she has escaped her terrible fate... for now. Aside from her constant rants and shoving backwards, causing me to fall into the people behind me, who then shoved me back into her to illicite her annoyingly dirty looks, the Muse concert was... amazing. This was definitely a very high budget concert. There was a sweet light show, explosions after certain songs, and his guitar was glittery and lit up. Like, an actual light in his guitar. Underneath the spectacular "special effects," you could tell that Matthew Bellamy is a guy who just wants to get out there and rock. So rock he did. On the guitar and the piano. Butterflies and Hurricanes was amazing. I would post a video of it... but it all sounds...

A Tragicomedy of Poetic Verse

If you could please all forgive me, I am taking the time to wax philosophical within this post. So Friday night I went and saw the movie "Stranger than Fiction." This was a highly good film and I would recommend that everyone go see it. Take home made cookies with you too, because you'll want to eat them. The premise of this film, for those of you that don't know, is that the main character, Harold Crick, begins hearing a voice in his head, narrating his life in third person omniscient. The voice is right about a lot of things, and is mainly very annoying until Harold hears the voice say that he is going to die. So, I began thinking about life and death. After all, thats the point of art, to make you think about life and death. So I did. We are all, for the most part going to taste of death at some point on this journey. Death in some form will come to all of us, through the loss of a loved one, or through our own. It will happen, we cannot stop it. So why did it be...
