So, in my hurry to post on Muse, I forgot to mention that I've finally bought my ticket to Oz! :D Hahaha! Yep. I'm officially going to Australia with Tamara and Sean. It will be amaze-buckets. Une autre chose, le "gars" est en traîne de décider s'il va faire un voyage au Costa Rica, à l'Australie ou en Europe. Moi j'espère qu'il n'ira pas à l'Australie.

One word to describe this show: EPIC. Lights + sounds + Matt + Dominick + Chris = E P I C Honestly, I have no other words to express how awed I was during the entire two-hour show. Muse is one of my favourite bands, so seeing them perform LIVE (in Edmonton, no less!), was nothing short of spectacular. From start to finish, Muse was nothing short of surreal. What amazes me most is that these three guys are incredibly humble and gracious. I mean, there they were: the best live performers of my generation, but they seemed humbled by our screams. Gah. Perfection. One more thing, in addition to feeling awed by the trio, t'was interesting that for once in my life, I felt sated after a concert. Most times, I just want to re-live the experience over and over again. This time, I felt complete.

I haven't been to one in MONTHS! Well, five months and 11 days. It was for City and Colour who are (rumoured to be) touring with Tegan and Sara. Thing is, though the twins are coming back to Edmonton, Dallas Green won't grace us with his presence... Instead of City and Colour, Paramore will be comin' to Deadmonton with Tegan and Sara. LAME. Anyway, I'm going to Billy Talent on Monday. It's funny because one of Billy's openers are Alexisonfire (Dallas Green's main band--he only does City and Colour on the side), so I'll get to listen to his LOVELY, wonderful voice then. I took some REALLY bad pictures on October 3, so I thought I'd share 'em :D

And I'm still not all that "wise." So what have I learned this past year in respect to the past, present, future, death, growth, my dreams and life in general? I've learned that I am even MORE romantic than I'd originally thought; that I dream big, but have my feet firmly on the ground; and that I spend more time reveling in the future and analyzing the past to really enjoy the present. My to-do list for the next year is to focus on the here and now. Enjoy being stuck in Deadmonton and keep my sights on Montreal. Sure, it won't be a while until I can move East, but I know I'll get there. As Paulo Coelho says in The Alchemist , "When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it." It's only a matter of being patient.
