BEST. SATURDAY. NIGHT. EVER!

Today my friends I am hearing impaired and sleep deprived but so happy.

The reason?

Last night, I went to the Rooney concert!!!! If you're wondering how it went, just read the title again foo. :)

The front man is the gorgeous Robert Schwartman. If you're think that name sounds familiar, then go watch "The Princess Diaries." That is what he is most known for in his role as "Michael." Yes ladies, be jealous. :) Be even MORE jealous because I got to meet him!!!

And he had his arm around my lower waist when we were taking a picture, and yes I'm excited about the following fact, men feel free to role your eyes at will.....his hand drifted lower (insert girly scream that I would never do otherwise) :D

Silly me for enjoying it SOOOO much :D

My friend snagged me one of his picks from the stage and then he signed my ticket and he was very sweet to me and everyone who asked for autographs and pictures with him. He always made it a point, (Even after the fourth time I came up to him) to say thank you so much for coming to the show. I love when bands care about their fans, you don't get that much anymore.

The set list was fantastic and the energy that they, and their opening act Eisley brought was truly electric. I have never had so much fun at a concert before, due to the band playing and the venue space. Its a garage type space and I was crouching right below the bassist the entire time (really not caring if he would've hit me in the head with his bass) because I was right there at the front, seeing one of my favorite bands. ARRRRG I wish I could relive last night over and over! It was that incredible. Not to mention that I was there with some good friends and even made friends with the girls behind me :D Again had a lot to do with the intimacy of the venue haha :)

This morning I woke up and was still smiling from last night.

There are many pictures/videos my friends took and I will add them as fast as I can to this post or a new post when they are put up.

Following after the epic concerts of all epic concerts, me and my buddies went over to catch the end of a party. As always, fun stuff. We did however miss the dance party which was a bummer :p But we were there hanging out until 1am when my friend suggested we hightail it to Village Inn for some grub. It took some convincing of our vegan friends to come along, but in the end, we all had a jolly good time :D Laughs all around. Finally went to bed at 3 still floatin on a cloud from the hours before :) By far, the best night I've had in a while.

OH Rooney. Thank you for your show last night. You'll never know how much I love your music. Still all smiles on my part. :D

Again, pictures of this amazing night soon to come.

We float along :) Until next time friends one and all.

I spit on your heart shaped candies.

If you have half of a brain (and a lot of you do ;), then it's no secret what I shall be ranting aboot. But for those of you who are perhaps a little listless from studying or what have you, here is a picture.

Yes friends it's no secret, today is the national day of love. Men have to go out of their way (of course with the underlying hope they'll get a little somethin' somethin') to prove that they give a shit by showering their ladies with stuffed bears or a begrudged engagement ring; a day for women to feel specially smothered with love and kisses; and a day to simply remind those who are single that they are indeed SINGLE. Of course they shrug it off laughingly and call it "Singles Awareness Day" which the initials spell out quite correctly, S.A.D. Also, does that really help single ladies and gents? I don't think so.

PDA, hearts, and the colors of pink and red as far as the eye doesn't want to, but does see. For the lonely ones, this day above all others can quite literally be hell on earth. But for the percentage of us singletons that are optimistic, we just see it as another day. I know I can attest to this; though I would be lying if I didn't say that it would be nice to have someone to share it with, and very preferably with a Y chromosome. What separates me from other singletons is that I really could care less about all of it. It's a day for companies to peddle love which can only be given in material ways; I guess the gift of yourself doesn't count for that much anymore...but that would differ from person to person.

If it were me, I would appreciate the little things. Ladies why do you feel you need something like a big stuffed bear or flowers when both aren't going to mean as much later? Look the bear is going to sit somewhere in your closet gathering dust and within 3 days those roses will be as dead and empty of color as your boyfriend's bank account.

Within my cynicism lies a point; companies make bank off of this holiday, and for what? All of this stuff is material, which is nice yes, but people go overboard trying and do big displays of affection with gifts, gifts, and MORE gifts. The end result are empty wallets and money hungry industries gorging themselves on revenue. It's perfectly acceptable to give a token of love in the form of a nice watch or necklace, but fellas, ease up a bit. God if I had a nickel for the women I saw walking around today trying to hang onto big stuffed animals, a bunch of heart shaped balloons, and flowers...Well I'd have enough to get myself some of that shit! :D

And for those who may not currently be in a relationship, know that someone will come into your life when you're least expecting it; sounds corny but there is truth in it. For the time being though, realize you don't need to be in a relationship to be happy and value the love you have from friends and family because guess what, you are loved regardless of being single.

In closing (as "hallmark" as it may sound), how about valuing the time you have with your loved one(s)? Is this such a hard concept? Because time is fleeting and no matter how many candies or roses you give, in the end you won't remember those THINGS; you'll remember and cherish the memories. THAT in the end coupled with love itself is whats important.

Moral to this blog? Love is the best gift; it's free and frequent.

That's all the ranting out of me for this evening :)

Love you all. Goodnight, and have a pleasant tomorrow.

Crazy, and not so crazy. The best of both worlds.

Hello one and all.

So the title...I'm pretty damn sure I'm losin' it. Why is this?

Oh for a number of reasons.

I can't focus on anything I'm suppose to. My thoughts are the least coherent they've been in a long time. Of course this could easily be something along the lines of A.D.D., but that's not it. I can't really go into it or explain it for lack of the correct phrasing. I guess I could put it this way; I want what is unknown to me. Is this perhaps vague? Of course it is. And for good reason, like I said, can't explain it! And it's not even that it's because this is a blog, I just can't say it :p I guess I'm just looking to break out of myself, do something crazy. That's really what I want, to NOT be myself for once. Being me is fine, but I feel the need to shake my life up. And I feel as though there is only one way to go about it. Again, can't say. I know, I know. Why even write this if I'm not going to delve out the truth openly? WELL that happens to be because this is in fact a blog. And why I don't mind sharing my feelings, I don't feel this is the best place to lay down my inner most secrets. Yup. So that's the wacko part. And it just came about in the most unexpected way.

A las, I hope I can get back to normal...maybe soon?

And now to transition to something different! It's that time again, where I catch readers up on what the hell I've been doing with my time. A few things as a matter of fact! Meeting new people now, trying to put myself out into the world more because I've never really done the "dating" thing per say, so my friends suggested that I give it a whirl. And in general with that, MOSTLY, I just plan on making new friends :) Nothing wrong with that, I got all the time in the world baby! Also, started my second semester of college 4 weeks ago. Exciting right? Ehh, not as exciting as the first term. This just means I've managed not to academically bone myself so in that way, I am fulfilled. Classes overall are pretty cool, challenging, but nothing I can't handle. I mean fuck, I'm juggling a social life, academics, and a part-time job. I haven't completely lost it yet, so I figure I'm still good to go. I've also stumbled upon a possible double major; Video game design AND theater. I love both, so maybe do both? It's up in the air, but we'll see.

ALSO, I splurged a bit, (OK a shit ton) and I'm going to the Coachella festival in Indio, California for three days of music from some fantastic artists. Really with what's been going down, I could do with a change of scenery you know? So I'm just shakin' with anticipation over that, it's going to be out right rockin :) I'm also combining that with getting to know some new people so that'll be beyond rad.

Sooner than that, I'm going to see Rooney in concert. Don't know who they are? Well refer to my auto playlist...you are more than likely listening to one of their songs already. I love their music. Nothing feels as good as the discovery of new music, nothing folks. Ok, there are probably other things, undoubtedly. But this is my thing people, you know that :)

Oh and to close, as per usual, I give a recommendation or some shit like that. Two words; Bo Burnham. Look him up if you need a good laugh, his special "Words, Words, Words" is bitchin.

A musical recommendation you ask?

My friend is in this band that does really amazing music. A talented bunch of gentlemen. Who?

Nathan Spenser and The Low Keys. Thank me later ;)

That's all for now kids. Live large ya'll.
