Thank you so much, whoever you are. That meant so much to me.

Ehrmann's "Desiderata"

Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons,
they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain and bitter;
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.

Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs;
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals;
and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself.
Especially, do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love;
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment
it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.

You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be,
and whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.

I went to a show last night for my cousin's birthday. It was really a Green Day concert, and I hate them, but Jimmy Eat World was there so I couldn't pass up seeing them again :) (Psst, picture heavy)

We parked in the spot 666 totally by random. I found that really awesome.

Giants Stadium is big.

Jimmy Eat World backdrop.

Against Me!:

The quality is so bad because I had to go on 12x digital zoom. Even though we were row 6, you wouldn't get good pictures anywhere cause it was round.

Jimmy Eat World:

These are from the screens.

I love this one.

They had lots of colored lights.

So, Jimmy Eat World played "Futures", "Work", "Pain", "A Praise Chorus", "The Middle", "Sweetness", "Blister", and "Get it Faster". That song selection is horrible. It's all Futures and Bleed American songs. They only played one from Clarity and Clarity is by far their best album. They didn't play one slow song and those are the best songs they play. Their playing was good, but the songs really let me down cause they weren't the ones I wanted to hear... When I saw them in December they were much better & had a longer set.

After I ran into Matt B! I didn't even know he was going. His little sister likes them so he went, too. I saw Matt W earlier because our section was 114 and he was 115, so we were close, but we all ran into each other.

(Matt W, Matt B, me) I am SO white, seriously. I was the only one in the whole entire stadium wearing a Jimmy Eat World shirt, I swear. I got a lot of funny looks, haha.

Green Day:

stage.

From screen.

And then my camera died. Should have charged it before I left, oh well. I hate it that it's a battery pack and not AAs or something. Anyway I don't even like Green Day. So I'm not that upset. But I have to say, Green Day was the best band I've ever seen live. Their show was amazing, they had great little skits in between (like pulling a little kid up to squirt people with a water hose or pulling people up to play their instruments) and the songs were played better live than the recording. So I think I have to buy their CD or something, because they really were great. I was pleasantly surprised.

Okay enough procrastinating. Back to summer reading! :/
