Minutes later...

I made another post. I changed the song on my mixpod. Check her out, her name is Meiko and she's a nice singer. Shes a quarter Japanese. She released her own album independently on iTunes and did well for herself. She then started to rise slowly.

I love her sound.

Yay,
Alan

Wes'a goin' on a trip.

We and our family friends are heading on a 4 day trip. I'll be sure to take a lot of cool pictures. It's gonna be fun. =D

See y'all soon,
Alan

Therapy, you were never a friend to me.

Arrogant boy, love yourself so no one has to.
They're better off without you.
Arrogant boy, cause a scene like you're supposed to.
They'll fall asleep without you.
You're lucky if your memory remains.

Adios,
Alan

P.S. 50th post.

Another P.S. Lyrics from All Time Low's Therapy. What was the significance of this post? It's certainly about something. That much I can say.

Fillers.

Use them to take up some space.

Alan

But on a more serious note, I have so much crap to do before second year starts. Requirements for nursing are insane. INSANE.

Take a good picture, you don't go to the Kool Haus errday. And to watch All Time Low, no less.

Here are some Pics of the Kool Haus on July 15, 2009. Mind you, that these are just a few pictures, my sister has a huge album on her facebook. I thought these would be more than enough. Enjoy!


From left to right, Bianca, Jenica, Nadine, Me (Alan) and Kris. My sister, Mariel, was taking the picture.


Everyone minus Nadine and a barely captured Kris. Taken by Nadine's, lawl.


Smelly BIG Mohawk guy. Eww.


Days Difference. This band really surprised me. They sang live extremely well. I love the sound of their music and the singing style of Jeremy Smith (Red Shirt, Lead singer)


Cartel. Good show.


Will Pugh of Cartel. (Lead Singer)


Then We The Kings came on. This is where the madness started to ensue. The girls were going crazy for Travis Clark aka Long Haired Red Head with AIDS. He doesn't really have AIDS, it's an inside joke. See the gangster hat dude. I poked the dudes head so hard. I Did not like him. Nothing Personal =D


As if it wasn't crazy enough, while We The Kings covered Jimmy Eat World's classic "The Middle", Alex Gaskarth came on to sing along, giving a small tease of the madness that was to follow, when All Time Low finally takes the stage. The dude holding the Kodak pocket cam is me. Red nails is Bianca and the hand right beside her's is Nadine's, haha.

Then All Time Low finally came out.......THIS IS MADNESS!!!!


Jack Barakat on Guitar and Backup Vocals!


Hands madly raised out of the crowd, with cameras. Rian Dawson on drums, Alex Gaskarth on Lead vocals and guitar and Zack Merrick on Bass and Backup Vocals.


Jack, just rockin' it out.


Awesome pic of Alex and Zack.


Alex focused on his singing. Notice Jack's line of clothing JAGK. His face is on Alex's shirt, haha.


This is where they sang their legendary song "Coffee Shop Soundtrack". The "Wall of Death" started this awesome song up. Crazy pushing from all directions. Green guitar and pink bass =)


The girls were rabid. That's jack holding a "Jack" Hammer and a pantie. Yes, a pantie. This band loves sex jokes. You can also see his mic stand with bras or what I would like to call his bra trophy.


Jack is hilarious and is always picked on by Alex. Here he is, flippin' the bird. Notice his bra trophy.


Then the set ended. Or did it?! (Notice again, Jack's bra trophy)


Encore! They played 3 more songs =D


The Final Farewell. =( (Notice Jack's bra trophy again, lol)


Back home with my prize =) (Jack's pick)


Lol. There's also an inside joke behind this.

I thank my sister for taking these brilliant photos. =D And to Nadine for that one attempted group shot, lol.

Come back soon All Time Low,

Alan

I'm self deserving of a little time off. We can kick it here for hours and just mouth off about the world and how we know it's going straight to hell.

I've been experiencing a little too much time off, haha. I will regret typing this come the commencement of my second post-secondary year =/

All Time Low (Along with Days Difference, Cartel and We The Kings) was amazing beyond belief last night. It was sweaty it, it was hot (both in the literal sense and the slang sense) and it was whack. No mosh pits had ensued and for good reason, because the ENTIRE freakin' crowd was a mosh pit; not to mention the "Wall of Death" that was commenced by All Time Low's own Alex Gaskarth. It was satisfying to pseudo-tackle people around. At one point the entire center portion of the crowd collapsed and fell to the ground. It was also extra satisfying to go from way off into the sides and into the front. Aggression is the key here, haha. Much screaming had happened, many lost shoes, celebrity water bottles, picks and drum sticks. Some people (like me) endured it all (extremely worth it, I got Jack Barakat's pick! I also got my sister a We The King's pick, I don't know who used it), others simply could not take the madness of the crowd due to their inability to properly inhale and exhale and getting stomped and shoved. Many girls attempted to get through my spot along with my sister and friends. I Never let them through, once. They complained and bitched about it every now and then ("this guy won't fuckin' move") and one of them actually tried to pinch and annoy me, I caught the girl's hand and shoved it back, much to her dismay. No attempts were made beyond that. I really did get angry at times, one time I literally shouted to a group of girls "FUCK YOU!" The space in the concert was so tight, you literally had no space to move your arms. My chest felt like it was being compressed. At some point I felt like I was gonna faint from the lack of proper oxygenation. But once you get to the front, the cool breeze from the air-conditioned stage goes through you and the relief is very soothing. People were leaning on me, and my arms were on my friends shoulders. Everyone wanted to take pictures so they tried their hardest to do this. At one point, this cute/hot chick put her arms on my shoulder and said: "I'm sorry if I'm invading your personal space." She was a nice gal, wearing a plaid shirt. I felt something soft on my back. Her chest was completely leaning on me, so soft and so warm. My answer was without a doubt: "Not a problem." =) Unfortunately, not all the girls were like her. Some were fat sweaty fan girls and others were simply too young and weird. There was also a huge Mohawk guy who smelt so bad. Water was another big problem. I was afraid of being dehydrated. 4 hours, standing up while you sweat like you're playing a sport plus the heat....it honestly got me worried. But then I remembered, a man can last 2 days with no water intake. After the concert I chugged down a bottle of water in 3 seconds. Water never tasted so good.

All in all, it was the most fun I've had this year or rather, in a long time. And that's precisely my dilemma.

I am now at an "All Time Low" because I don't really have much exciting events to look forward to now. Alex Wong has his birthday jam goin' tomorow, which is cool and all. But I feel this emptiness in me right now. I need to do something meaningful. It's probably because I've spent so much of my positive energy last night. What a freakin' night.

That's All Folks,

Alan

P.S. I will post up some pictures and videos of the band and their respective performances ASAP.
