I discovered today that for the past 6 months that I have been in college, I have learned everything that I am not. I don't feel like I am learning who I am... just who I am not. I don't know if that is a good thing or not.
(Side note: I have been away from home for 6 months!! That's a long time without my family... I'm proud of myself!)
Anyway... I have realized what I don't like, what I am not, what I don't like to do... and such and so on. But the more I think about that, the more I think that that is unhealthy. I should be focusing on things I am or things that I like to do/can do. Positive attitudes really do go far.
On a completely different note:
This past weekend was probably one of the better weekends I have had while in college. Friday night I saw two bands that don't matter, My American Heart, Madina Lake, and Aiden. I haven't really been a big fan of My American Heart for a while because they are a little pop-ish for my tastes, but on Friday they blew me away. I don't know what happened between the first time I saw them and the other night, but they became this amazing band that I would love to see again. Not to mention that the bassist was very attractive! Madina Lake... I had high expectations for them because they were way fun the first time I saw them back at the Skatepark about a year and a half ago. They met their expectation! I have a feeling that the lead singers staple is jumping off things. He totally jumped off the highest speaker (maybe 10 feet high) into a crowd of possibly 70-ish people. I doubt there were even 100 people there. He is one insane guy, but the whole show was fun nonetheless. Aiden... not much to say except they were good musicians but I find no good in their... show. They are just not my kind of band.
Saturday was amazing with nothing but a McKay's run with Kristin to get some fun movies and CDs for way cheap and laying around watching those movies and collaging with my favorite RA!
Sunday was the typical Mosaic in the morning- which is always great! Then Sunday evening was the event of my month! The only thing that can possibly top it is Egypt Central on the 27th! FREAKING RELIENT K!!!! The whole ordeal was just amazing! 12th and Porter is sketchy as anything but I am totally used to that with The Complex (good times). The first band was just an acoustic set of brothers from the band The Lonely Hearts and I thought they were pretty good. The picture above is of one of them and I am so proud of that picture! The next band was The Mean Tambourines and they were a lot of fun! Both were local bands so I hope to see them both again! But Relient K was so fun! I was pretty much right in front of Matt Theissen which totally made it that much more awesome!!! He is such a nice guy not to mention an amazing musician with a heart totally for God! Such a great thing!!
Now comes the madness that is the week before Spring Break. I am praying for survival!
