Concerts, concerts and concerts
I love going to concerts. Meeting other people who love a certain band as much as you do and of course seeing this band play live is wonderful. The moment when the band comes up on stage is incredible. To see these guys, you look up to and freak out everytime you get to hear or see something new from them, in person is just amazing. For me there's no feeling comparable to this. When they come out it's not important anymore how many hours you waited for them (I waited almost 6 hours in the rain to see Green Day live in Cologne) . I think I would spend all the money I have to see my favorite band play.
Therefore I spend way too much money on concerts, but I think it's worth it. Like my mother says: you can save your money and spend it later on material things, but if you spend it on a concert you have a memory for your whole life. If you buy for example a new pair of jeans for 30 - 40 bucks you'll have this jeans for one or two years maybe. But you will always look back on a concert and remember what an amazing time you had.
And I'm really glad that my mom thinks this way. For this reason she allowed me to go to concerts when I was younger. She never bought me concert tickets but that was ok. I wanted to go to the concert so I had to pay for it.
Ok, so here are the concerts I've been to:
Jun 22, 2008 Avril Lavigne (Mannheim)
Jun 30, 2009 Linkin Park (Stuttgart)
Oct 5, 2009 Green Day (Cologne)
Nov 23, 2009 P!nk (Freiburg)
Jun 11, 2010 Green Day (Munich)
Aug 24, 2010 blink-182 (Hamburg)
Mar 9, 2011 My Chemical Romance (Munich)
Jun 25, 2011 Linkin Park (Munich)
Jun 30, 2009 Linkin Park (Stuttgart)
Oct 5, 2009 Green Day (Cologne)
Nov 23, 2009 P!nk (Freiburg)
Jun 11, 2010 Green Day (Munich)
Aug 24, 2010 blink-182 (Hamburg)
Mar 9, 2011 My Chemical Romance (Munich)
Jun 25, 2011 Linkin Park (Munich)
Sep 19, 2011 Avril Lavigne (Cologne)
It's really hard for me to say which one of these concerts was the best. But if I had to decide, I think it would be the blink concert. The Green Day shows and the MCR show were awesome too. Fuck every concert I've been to was fucking awesome, but the blink show was something special to me. Take a look et my earlier post "blink life. for life" to find out why ;D
I'll be there ;D
See you in the showers,

Wishing Well Video
Mark posted the link of this video on twitter last night. I don't know if it's an official music video but I don't think so.
click here for better quality
All I can say is that Travis twittered earlier this month that they will film a video for After Midnight the next week or so. ;D
Wishing Well is one of my favorite songs from Neighborhoods and I think this video is really, really great. Especially from 2:05 to 2:23. It's epic.
And not to forget Mark taking a shower at 2:33 xD. They are still fooling around on tour and I love it :)
By the way: Is it weird that I'd like to be the camera at 2:29? haha xD

All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.
"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.
"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
I'm re-reading The Lord Of The Rings and this is definitely one of my favorite parts of these books. It's part of a conversation Frodo and Gandalf have at the beginning of The Fellowship of the Ring (while in the movie they have this conversation in Moria).
In my opinion this scene is one of the most important scenes in the whole movie. Because what Gandalf says about Gollum is very meaningful too, I think.
To quote the book (also at the beginning):
"He deserves death."
"Deserves it! I daresay he does. Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends. I have not much hope that Gollum can be cured before he dies, but there is a chance of it. And he is bound up with the fate of the Ring. My heart tells me that he has some part to play yet, or good or Ill, before the end; and when that comes, the pity of Bilbo may rule the fate of many - yours not least."
The Lord Of The Rings will always be my all time favorite movie and book. That's a fact. ;D
Damn, now I really want to watch the movies again xD Maybe I'll watch them at the weekend or so :)

Mark vs. Tom
I always wondered who sings the most songs: Mark or Tom. I thought Tom would sing a lot more than Mark, but I couldn't say why I thought so. I just had the sense that Tom sings more Songs.
So I made this list to see if I'm right. (And yes it took me some time but it was worth it ;D)
To keep it easy I ignored it when one of the guys only sings in the background of the chorus, while the other one is singing the whole rest of the song.
And I counted the songs, which are on two albums (Buddha & Cheshire Cat) only once ;D

* already on Buddha
I was right I guess ;D
Ok, it's really close and it depends on how exactly you decide if just one of them sings the song or both.
But what this list shows us is that Mark sings a lot more on the older albums (Buddha, Cheshire Cat,...) then he does on the newer ones. And you can see that they sing a lot more songs together now than they did in the past.
If I made a mistake or forgot a song or something, tell me ;D (You can write comments on this page - no joke! :o xD)

Top of the Songs
I always wanted to have a piece of clothing nobody else has. Something special that means a lot to me. Well here it is:
![]() |
click on it to see a bigger version ;D |
I bought a white top and wrote lyrics all over it. It took me several hours and two laundry pens but it's worth all the time and effort. I just chose songs which mean a lot to me and kinda describe me. It wasn't easy to decide which songs and which lines I should take. There are so many songs I love and they all deserve it. ;D
So here are the songs I've chosen in the end:
♫ blink-182 - Give Me One Good Reason *
♪ Green Day - She *
♫ My Chemical Romance - S/C/A/R/E/C/R/O/W
♪ Linkin Park - Iridescent
♫ Avril Lavigne - Don't Tell Me
♪ Box Car Racer - I Feel So*
♫ Angels & Airwaves - Young London
♪ Green Day - Minority
♫ My Chemical Romance - Cemetery Drive*
♪ blink-182 - Adam's Song *
♫ P!nk - Family Portrait *
♪ Avril Lavigne - Everybody Hurts
♫ The Distillers - Sick Of It All *
♪ +44 - No It Isn't *
♫ Avril Lavigne - Darlin
♪ My Chemical Romance - Famous Last Words
♫ blink-182 - Story Of A Lonely Guy
♪ Fall Out Boy - I Don't Care
♫ Green Day - Jesus Of Suburbia
♪ Billy Talent - The Dead Can't Testify
♫ My Chemical Romance - The Kids From Yesterday
♪ The Veronicas - Everything I'm Not
♫ blink-182 - Family Reunion *
♪ Sum 41 - Pieces
♫ 30 Seconds To Mars - 100 Suns *
* complete or almost complete
But there are not only lyrics on it. I also wrote something in red which is not related to a song or a band. It says: "R.I.P. RYAN RANDOM HERO DUNN" I wrote it between the lyrics of Linkin Park's Iridescent. And there is a reason why I chose this place:
Ryan Dunn died on July 20th and on July 25th I went to a Linkin Park concert in Munich. Iridescent was one of the songs they played. And as soon as the song started I had to think of Ryan and Bam. I got goosebumps and I started crying. It was a very emotional moment to me.
I feel so sorry for the jackass guys and Ryan's family and friends. It's so horrible and sad. Everytime I hear this song now it reminds me of that moment and Ryan Dunn's death.
