Coldplay

Last night, I had the pleasure of going to the Coldplay concert in Cincinnati. It was amazing. I went with my best friends Nick, Joe, and Raymond. Nick had his dad and a friend from St. Louis come along, and Joe brought his girlfriend Laura. We met up with two girls Nick knew (I swear Nick knows girls everywhere he goes) so we had a full crew in the second row of blankets in the grass. Coldplay did every song you could want them to, did them all fabulously, and we in the audience loved it. We swayed together in some songs, jumped in others, clapped, and screamed gratuitously. I would highly reccomend the CDs and concerts to anyone who likes good music. Which is every reader (peer pressure to admit you like good music because if you don't, you like bad music and therefore are not cool, it's an old trick but it works). I got a contact high at the concert (who knew you could experience a feeling of extacy from a light show? It tipped me off that perhaps the pot smokers were blowing in my direction), had a wonderful time, and just had some great times with my best friends.

I am going to miss them so much. With my family, I have been maturing and preparing to leave the house for a while, and I know I will see them all every time I come home or they visit. With my friends, I am scared that we may drift apart. I think it would be appropriate here to do a lyric. This may have replaced "Time Is Running Out" by Muse as the theme for the end of the summer.

"Talk"

Oh BROTHER I can't, I can't get through
I've been trying hard to reach you, cause I don't know what to do
Oh brother I can't believe it's true
I'm so s c a r e d about the future and I wanna talk to you
Oh I wanna talk to you
You can take a picture of something you see
In the future where will I be?
You can climb a ladder up to the sun
Or write a song nobody has sung
Or do something that's never been done

Are you lost or incomplete?
Do you feel like a puzzle, you can't find your missing piece?
Tell me how do you feel?
Well I feel like they're talking in a language I don't speak
And they're talking it to me

So you take a picture of something you see
In the future where will I be?
You can climb a ladder up to the sun
Or a write a song nobody has sung
Or do something that's never been done
Do something that's never been done

So you don't know were you're going, and you wanna talk
And you feel like you're going where you've been before
You tell anyone who'll listen but you feel i g n o r e d
Nothing's really making any sense at all
Let's talk, let's ta-a-alk
Let's talk, let's ta-a-alk


That song makes me anxious every time I hear it. I always seem to think of Nick, Joe, and Ray. Especially Nick. I feel like we are brothers, and I wish we knew eachother that well. We are getting closer every day but for what? We are all going our seperate ways. I see these guys as comrades. If I ever have a hard decision to make, I ask them for advice. Ray understands girls better than girls. Joe has his cautious wisdom and insight that keeps me calm and rational when I get a bit upset and rash. Nick can jam a song about how you are feeling. I am so blessed to have them as friends and fit in as well as I do. If I ever make it big, get in big trouble, or need support, those guys are who I want by my side helping me and if they ever need anything, I am there for them. I hope to meet more people like that in my life.
