11:38 pm

Yesturday I went with Rachel and Diana to see David Gray at NextStage!

This is the third time I've seen this fucking fabulous talented singer - and his performance made me cry almost twice. His music touches my soul more than any other artist. The opening band was awesome too (Turin Brakes) I felt like I was already in London because of their lovely accents. During the first half of the concert people weren't standing up - I was getting very aggitated - thank god I was able to later on - (2nd half) as soon as Babylon came on - I said screw it - I'm standing from now on and fully getting all into it. He started with "The Other Side" and ended with "Please Forgive Me" I ended up getting a little book which had fab pics of him and some info on his tour - and Rach (i'm soo honored to say) bought a D.G. shirt (due also to the fact that Turin Brakes shirt was sold out)

Oh I hope to meet him (hopefully in London).

Today I had piano - I learned a lot - went shopping with Samantha and Tiffani for college stuff

I finally got my gray/ with pink star All - Star Converse shoes and I love love them!

chilled with my sista and her friend Natie -

oh soo much to pack - so little time

go check out YELLOWCARD (their newest cd) it kicks ass

i slept in today ... finally

watched New York Yankees and Boston red socks game - awesome - RED SOCKS WON!!! tied in 9th inning ... if you are a baseball fan you should know the rest.

practiced drama summer and new piano music

Diana called me aroud 1ish -and gave me the wonderful news that there happened to be an extra ticket for the John Mayer/ Counting Crows concert tonight. hehe - huge smile on face

AWWWWW - overly euphoric from the John Mayer concert.... great guitarist - I heard 3 new songs by him - and one of which he never played before!! crowd went wild - everyone cheering throughout whole concert - singing to every song 

hehe glad I canceled going to Cantina Laredo tonight

My Dad got me to liking this song... go listen to if you get the chance to - it's by Van Morrison

Well you've been on a fast train and it's going off the rails
And you can't come back can't come back together again
And you start breaking down
In the pouring rain
Well you've been on a fast train

When your lover has gone away don't it make you feet so sad
And you go on a journey way into the land
And you start breaking down
'Cos you're under the strain
And you jump on a fast train

You had to go on the lam you stepped into no-man's land
Ain't nobody here on your waveband
Ain't nobody gonna give you a helping hand
And you start breaking down
And just go into the sound
When you hear that fast train

And you keep moving on to the sound of the wheels
And deep inside your heart you really know oh, just how it feels
And you start breaking down and go into the pain
Keep on moving on a fast train

You're way over the line next thing you're out of your mind
And you're out of your depth in through the window she crept
Oh there's nowhere to go in the sleet and the snow
Just keep on moving on a fast train

You had to go on the lam stepping in no-man's land
Ain't nobody here on your waveband
Nobody even gonna lend you a helping hand
Oh and you're so alone can you really make it on your own
Keep on moving on a fast train

Oh going nowhere, except on a fast train
Oh trying to get away from the past
Oh keep on moving keep on moving on a fast train
Going nowhere, across the desert sand, through the barren waste
On a fast train going nowhere
On a fast train going nowhere

July 25, 2003 – 3:38 am

Dear lord just ate – tons of vanilla wafer cookies – some gram crackers – I had some weird craving for that tonite

Today I worked with Roper – at her house – gluing down her wooden floor – I had to get the industrial strength glue off my hands in order to play for piano lessons later on today with veggie oil –but  I was too lazy to do that for my feet  

Came home from roper’s – I wanted to read in H.P for a while –but fell asleep for 2 hrs – then woke up for piano – I got new sheet music today !!! some lovely songs

Came home – practiced guitar – the drama summer – had to also warm up my vocals

Took a walk – got ready for claire’s b-day get together

She gave me a check for watchin her dogs – and some very nice bracelets from Mexico – which I obviously put on immediately

We ate at Campisi’s – Clarisse, Nick, Laila, Zach, Mark, TJ, Pablo, Diane, Marissa, Andrew

I was contemplating for a while if I should go to the concert tonite – but I did – Diane convinced me – actually she dropped me off and I was going to write down the directions in apt  - so I showed her around – and she saw my D.gray posters and was like – Oh you like him to? I said – ha not only like – but love – so she might go to D.G with me and Rachel – if her parents let her – if not Chris is my backup bud

Drove to Club clearview with Diane – we parked on Elm and had to ask twice where club Clearview was at – we past it three times before we found it – haha – me and directions – ha – usually I’m better at it

It was awesome – saw Deathray Davies – and Chomsky – gotta say Davis kick ass – and the lead singer John – such a hottie! Had tons of fun – didn’t come home till 2 am

And I gotta get up by 8 am at the latest

Currently I’m chattin with chris
