Wanted: 1 U2 Concert

for the past 3 months or so i've been looking for footage of the November 1st '05 Vertigo concert. i'm not sure why there weren't as many bootleg makers there as the night after. the only footage that i can find is of Exit performing Out Of Control (which is the video below). so i'm pleeding to anyone with a bootleg or or audio footage (or info on where i could get one because google doesn't provide an accurate source) of the concert to contact me through blog or e-mail. and for those of you who don't have footage spread the word that i want some (for sentimental reasons)!

Beanie Babies and the Discotheque

Monday, Monday. jeez what a monday. it was crazy! you know that law that Congress wants to pass where immigrants will be considered a felon, well today and on friday kids from all over the district had a walk out. i think that it's dumb for them to protest when they don't even know what the f**k they are protesting. they just go around campus saying "Mexico Mexico" or "walk out" or "get out here mexicans". it's usually the homies that are protesting, but they just wanna ditch class. i guess i support going against the whole issue but i won't go on the walk outs. our school was on lock down today. we got to miss 4th period....no spanish for me today!!!! you can read about more what i'm trying to explain here. oh, and on top of that i got in trouble for throwing a piece of peanut butter sandwhich on the bench. how was i supposed to know an administrative was behind me?

on saturday i went to visit my cousin at the hospital. good news!!!! she is cancer free and is 85% recovered! the doctors say that she will be fully recovered by next year. that's the best news for me! it was stressful on me, but mostly on my cosin's sister (who is also my cousin). my cousin with the cancer got a bone marrow transplant from her sister, and that's why she made such a quick recovery. hurray!

i was fulling around with the U2.com player and i found out how to save music videos!! so now i have all the videos up to Zooropa on my iPod!! in the morning today i fell asleep watching t.v. and when i woke up the Where the Streets Have No Name music video was on. still dazed, i thought that Bono's hair looks exactly like mine when i wake up in the morning, except that i have bangs. so i guess my hair kinda looks like this. I've been on You Tube alot recently looking at U2 things. when i was looking for the Discotheque video for my last post i came over another Discotheque video where instead of the band it's (get this) beanie babies!! i laughed! you can find alot of things on that site....but one thing i've been looking for like crazy is a bootleg of the U2 concert I went to. no luck so far. *tear*. well here's the Discotheque beanie baby video....enjoy!*

Confused, But I Know It

i'm back....was i ever gone? i have felt like myself this whole week. usually i want to post a blog but don't have time....this week i had so much extra time but i felt like blah. i've had the most energy this week than i probably had this whole month...but i still feel blah. when that happens i have to watch the Discotheque music video. i saw it 3 times yesterday. it took those 3 times to get the full effect of just watching it once. i don't know why i feel like this...maybe because i am getting over a really bad cold. i've been confused alot too recently. i barely understand what happened in Biology today. i copied my project off of my friend. she's a lifesaver! (not the candy though).

this weekend i think i don't have that much homework...it's hard to tell though. i want to visit my cousin in the hospital really bad. i haven't been able to go becuase i have been up to my eyeballs with homework or because no one had the time to take me. i can't drive....yet. right now my head is in a daze and my stomach is full of orange juice and skittles. in about an hour and a half i have to go back to my old school and see a play with my old director/teacher. i miss acting and sing so much you can't even imagine!! i love the feeling of performing even though i feel like throwing up. my voice is probably out of tune because i haven't sang for 2 years on stage! i can't do my art elective till i get through my spanish ones first. so until then there will be a whole inside of me where acting needs to be filled.

i was on U2.com about 15 minutes ago and they added a new video for One featuring Mary J Blige. It's in black and white. they also added their grammy performance...which i think that they have had on the site for sometime. i thought that performance was ok but their hurricane katrina performance was better...maybe because they had a cause for singing the song that made it so powerful. i've had the grammy performance on my iPod ever since the Thursday after it aired.....how? let's just say that it takes alot of converting and patience and being somewhat of a computer nerd (or having a brother who teaches you...one or the other).

i hope this isn't a long post because i promised myself that i wouldn't write so much. let's just say writing is one of my passions.*

Not A Day Over 30

happy birthday to my FAVORITE bassist, Adam Clayton! he turns 46 today so raise your glasses to him! he's aged like fine wine...not that i know what wine tastes like. he doesn't look a day over 30. seriously, he's the reason i'm gonna beg to my parents to buy me a bass. truely i think his best work is An Cat Dubh....but that's just me. being as it is his birthday, my vertigo shirt came out of retirement!*

Una Maestra Loca (One Crazy Teacher)

friday.....FINALLY!!! what a bad friday. i'm sick. cough mostly, no nose drippings yet! i'm eating popcorn, which i recommend not to eat when you gots the coughs (the kernel leftovers get stuck and it hurts even more when u cough). i guess my day started out bad. i usually don't eat breakfast because i don't have time...but some reason i did today. my stomach isn't used to having food in it till 12:30 so the poptart i ate gave me aches until lunch!! i am so mad at my spanish teacher. at the beginning of the semester our regular spanish teacher told us we would be having a student teacher for the rest of the year while she works on something for the school. so our new student teacher is fluent in spanish (which is a good thing) but she teaches horribly!!!! (which is a bad thing) i understand what's going on in class but i have to help alot of peeps around me who don't know what sed (thirsty) or hambre (hungry) or basic instructions mean. (see you learned some spanish here today) so getting to my point, she has this rule where SHE dismisses us NOT the bell. i sit near the talkative people so occasionally i talk but very little and often...mostly i laugh because they make fun of her. so today my section (5 people) stayed in 3 minutes after the bell so she could tell 3 of us that we "need to ignore their conversations" and for the other two not to talk as much and that next time we have to stay in 15 minutes. i have no idea what she meant that i need to ignore them. does that mean i talk to much? i got so mad because she doesn't even know me like my old teacher. i never talk! and when i do it's to practice speaking when she tells us to. so when i left class i felt like kicking her in the face!! grrrrrr i'm still pissed!!!

the other thing that happened wasn't so bad....just a little scary. i was in health watching super size me and an announcement from the principal came on saying that we meat our goal for our fundraiser and we can leave school 20 minutes early. my mom doesn't pick me up till 3 so me and my friend wondered around campus killing time. when i went to where i get picked up i had to wait because my mom had went to the store. so i was waiting and this black car rolls up to me and this punker guy smoking a cigarette asks if i wanted a ride. i said no thanks. he asked if i was sure because he could take any beauty. so i guess i was being called ugly. i don't know if that's what he said exactly but it sure sounded like it! but the girls he meant to pick up got in the car and he drove off. and when he pulled up he blew smoke in my face without knowing it, which can't be good for my cough! but why does this happen to me?? last month this other car passed by and there was a bunch of guys in it saying that one of them wanted to do me. and then another time i was waiting for my mom after choir practice back in middle school and a car passed by and a guy popped out and whistled at me. that one felt good! i guess that was it for my bad day. my mom asked me right now if i wanted a filet o' fish from mcdonalds.....after seeing super size me again i don't think i'm going to eat from there for a while. i actually haven't had mcdonalds in a while cause i refuse to eat it.

yesterday i was running late to school so i picked out my War shirt and pants and got dressed. i usually wear U2 shirts on tuesday....i have no idea why but i do. oh, and i retired my vertigo shirt because it is fading....i will only wear it on special occasions like march 13, may 10, aug. 8, or oct. 31. back to my story, i was wearing my war shirt and me and my brother were both in the kitchen and he said "hey, you weren't even born". i told him to shut up but in a sarcastic way. i couldn't think of a good comeback so he told me "you don't even remember the green tour". my turn to say something: "green tour?? there isn't a green tour! and you weren't born either". he was quiet and he laughed. Star 98.7 held a contest that sent 1 winner to Hawaii to see U2. i felt like calling in and asking when the date for the trip would be because one of the band member's relative is sick and the dates had to be postponed. no word of who the band member is, but i think that exposing their private life is a little rude. i'd hate the world to know if someone in my family was sick or something worse.

i have a bunch of homework this weekend, so i don't think i'd post again for a while. i guess this and this and this and this and this song will have to keep you tight till i come back!*

Someday Bloody Someday

i'm heading to disneyland soon with a big headache and an queasy tummy. i'm very tired too. maybe it'll be fun. i actually have nothing to say...except that i realized that my headline (*i'm ready for the laughing gas*) is way too long! i'm thinking of changing it. maybe just to *laughing gas*. i don't know yet. maybe i'll keep with the whole Zoo Station and put *time is a train*...but whatever (if it does) changes the quote under it from Discotheque won't. i kinda also want to change the picture to go with Zoo Station...maybe to Achtung Baby. But i like all that you can't leave behind. it goes with the black and white theme....plus it's my favorite album!! man i can barely concentrate! my head is spinning. i feel blah....not in a disneyland mood. i took a migrane pill which is only recomended for people above 18 years old. my liver must be dieing inside. i've been taking them for about 2 years cause i get really bad headaches. i remember one time in 7th grade on my birthday i had to stay home cause i had a migrane so huge that i couldn't walk. i took like 5 or 6 pills that day.

U2 are going to be on a couple of shows on VH1 soon. one is the greatest album covers countdown. i wonder which one it'll be: Achtung Baby? Under a Blood Red Sky? Zooropa? the other shows i think have been shown before: all access and classic in concert. i have to record all access casue my brother deleted it when i had it saved on the computer. he's deleted alot of my U2 stuff without my permission: the direct tv special, the huriicane katrinia special, and i think 2 other shows that i can't remember.

i was trying to remember when i first became a U2 fan. i really can't put my finger on an exact date or year. but i remember when i was about 6 watching the Sunday Bloody Sunday music video and asking my brother "what are they saying? Someday Bloody Someday or Sunday Bloody Sunday?" along with being a U2 fan i am a simpsons fan! yes...i quote things from episodes all the time! right now they are on season 7 with the DVDs.....2 more seasons to go till season 9!! remember that season? trash of the titians was on there! for those of u who can't remember what episode that was it was the U2 episode! i haven't seen that episode in such a long time! it was funny. there's this one joke i get now that i wouldn't have got before: when homer wants to get backstage of the concert he goes to the security and says that he has a shipment of potatoes! irish potatoe famine. oh! and the security guard is paul mcguiness!

i have to get ready to leave. sorry this blog was boring and for the misspellings if there is any.*
