I'm With the Party Rock Crew all Drinks are free!



sadly last week my last concert for February come and went.My mom and I went to see The Black Eyed Peas,Ludacris, and LMFAO in concert at Rupp Arena. Only one word could explain that concert...AMAZING! LMFAO which is small band from Los Angeles that consists of Redfoo (Stefan Gordy) and Sky Blu (Skyler Gordy) rocked. The band plays Electro-hop which is also known as electronic rap .LMFAO is know for the Party Rock crew which is what they call their fans and groupies when they do after parties. I wouldn't advise LMFAO for anyone who doesn't like suggestive lyrics because believe me there are many sexual and lyrics about drinking.

"Shake your money maker like somebody 'bout to pay ya"

The next act which beside LMFAO i love is Ludacris. Ludacris is the 1st rapper from my childhood that I learned every word to at least two of his songs in about two days. I'm not proud but learning his lyrics took me into my love of poetry and music. So being there with my mom bought back my memories of being in her car and hearing the 1st Ludacris song.Ludacris did a few songs then it was the moment everyone had been waiting for.....
THE BLACK EYED PEAS!!!!
The Black eyed peas made grand entrance! They came out of the floor on tramalines which was amazingly cool! They played about every song I could think of for them. Also each member got there chance to come out in there own way and sang there own songs. Will.I.Am came out twice. The 1st time he came out and did a freestyle using the messages that people had messaged to his blackberry phone. It was great!!!! Then Apl.De.Ap come out and had these robotic style women dancing all over him as he sung to songs off the new album The E.N.D. Then Fergie came out looking very beatuiful and song a few songs off her album she had out a while back. Then Taboo last but not least did a few songs :) Easy was to sum up the concert was it was an amaxing expericnce!!!

"I am Jeri’s broken heart. Living in a World so cold Wasted away"

I have my mother's Big heart and my fathers big brown eyes. So I guess you can say I've seen and felt alot of pain in my short little soon to be 19 years. With my mother's heart I care far to much for people only to get hurt or left behind by them. I guess if you want you can say it's a down fall. Which I fear will lead my heart to in end get me hurt worst then ever before. I try to live my life to the fullest but fear causes me to step back some and be scared to get out there.
My week started ok till I had to go to work Monday. I hate Mondays.It seems to me to be the slowest day of the week. Like it will never pass I'll be stuck in Monday forever. Well this Monday started at the same as every other. I woke up late for work but seem to get back on track after a few minutes.It looked like i was going to have extra time so I decided to head to Starbucks before i had to drag myself into work. I walked in and got my fave vanilla latte which seems to always make my day better. But today it didn't it seemed like normal coffee to me. I really didn't think much of it as chugged it on my walk to the office.I still find it funny in the ice and cold i rather walk everywhere so i can get my thoughts together.Well when i walked in everyone was there and everything seemed normal. Everyone was laughing having fun. So I sit down and clocked in. I tried to tune everyone out for a minute or to so I could get my thoughts in order. My boss came in with her cheery self like she does every morning. I guess I never really noticed it until this morning of all days.
"Good Morning Ladies" Paula said with a smile.

"Good Morning Ms. Dunn" Priscilla said.

"Good Morning Paula" I said.She kind of smiled and walked to her office. It has become a daily routine in office.One that I'm not sure of but it makes me feel welcomed.

I'll never be sure why little things like this stand in my memory verses other things in my life. But it does.I haven't had many bosses in my life just 4. But out of all of them i have the most fun being in the office with Paula.I'm Letting my random brain get the best of me now. Thinking of what will happen if Paula really leaves. Sometimes I get the feel I'm like Jack in Fight Club.Sometime in the office I feel I’m six years old again, passing messages between my parents. I am Jack’s broken heart. Kind of like A cloud hangs over,and mutes my happiness.A thousand ships couldn't sail me back from distress. I need to stop my brain. I need to stop this thinking. She can't leave she can't.
"First my father leaves me, now you. I’m all alone. I am Jeri’s Broken Heart." It's funny how you can change movie quotes to fit you at that moment. Like the I am Jeri' Broken Heart. Fight Club memory swirl around my head. Underneath the shadow of mistakes I have made I feel like I'm breaking inside. I don't want to fall and say I lost it all. Cause there's a part of me that is about to hit the wall Leaving pieces of me behind.

"Dear Agony, Life Starts Now!!! Sincerely, Memento Mori"

Ahh this week has finally has arrived. I've been waiting for this week for a month and a half. Last night was the Three Days Grace, Breaking Benjamin, and Flyleaf Concert at Rupp Arena. It was amazing, my girls, Jay and I enjoyed it so so so much. For those who have No idea who they are Flyleaf is a little band from Texas that play what I and many others like to can "Christan Rock". Most of the songs faith influences but lead singer Lacey Mosley doesn't necessarily believe that makes Flyleaf strictly a Christian band. Breaking Benjamin is the perfect head banging music. Breaking Benjamin(named for the lead singer Benjamin Burnley)is an American alternative metal band . Their music is also classified as Post-grunge. Three Days Grace's musical style has generally been described as alternative metal and Hard rock throughout the band's career. In a review of the band's debut album, compared them to rock bands Chevelle and Helemet. They have also been described as "heavy and catchy, with chewy chunks of assurance and fury thrown in for added measure and accessible alt-metal attack of blunt lyrics and crunching rhythms" that retains the melodic sound of its predecessor "despite its lyrical darkness”. According to the lead singer Adam Goniter the band’s influences style is “ Musically there's a lot of different influences, but lyrically it's hard to have different influences because you just write.”

But not trying to be religious but last night the devil was on me. After see Flyleaf play. Jay decided he needed to smoke and the girls needed Drinks. So Jess and I went with Jay, on our way to the smoking area Jay gets a text message from his ex-girlfriend asking him to meet her before he went back to his section. Now keep in mind she is at the concert with another guy. Little back story- I can't stand this girl. she has done nothing but toy with my boy Jay's heart and I'm sick and tired of it! I'm one of the nicest sweetest people you'll ever meet but you mess with my friends and family then i am a very different person.

But anyway, He met her and I asked Jess to stay with me till she left well I saw him hug her and almost kiss and all heck flew through me. I just looked at Jess and said "LETS GO NOW!!!!!!!!!" Jess just looked at me for a second and then ran when I got up to her. Jay finally caught up to us when we got back to our section. He kept asking me what was wrong and I kept saying knowing I just wanted to yell at him. He's like "she said Jeri really doesn't like me does she?" Then he said she was talking about me. Here is my theory, if you say something to my face rather then behind my back I'm less likely to snap because you were man/woman enough to say it to my face. But this chick wasn't woman enough to say it to me.." So Snitches and Talkers Get Stitches and Walkers!" ha ha.Kidding.. But back to the concert it was GREAT!!! We got pictures made with to Radio Personality from Z-Rock 103 Johnny Maze and Twitch! We are HUGE fans of theirs.

But the concert was amazing! Our seats were right next to the stage which meant we were right next to the bass. Which sounded like a good idea at the time but by the time we left Our ears seem to ring like bell from the beating of the bass. And we felt like our faces had melted off from the pyotechnics that Three days Grace used during there set.It was funny the next day because we posted things on Rupps facebook page and one of the MarketingBut it was a Great Night :)
(For Everyone Wondering about the title of this Blog it's the names of the bands CDs.Dear Agony is Breaking Benjamin's New CD title.Life Starts now is Three Days Grace's and also the name of the tour .Then Memento Mori is Flyleaf's title and is Latin for "be mindful of death" or "remember you will die.")
