**Dark Horse**

Ok... So i have figured out that I am not very good at this blogging thing... My excuse I am so dang busy!! Haha I know that's the excuse most of us use... But I honestly feel like ALL I DO IS SCHOOL!! Seriously, two days a week I am in class basically 10 to 10 (an hour break in between for some lunch)... And I still have classes all day the other three days of the week... And when I'm not in class then I'm doing a gazillion tons of homework... It never ends... Never... But some positive to all this negative... I only have 10 classes until I have my degree and then into MedSchool (hopefully, cross our fingers)... Ok so enough complaining... :)

Ok... So rewind... On 9/9/09 I went to a Nickelback concert *my absolute favorite band in the world by the way* And yes I skipped my 7 to 10 o clock class in order to go :) shame on me... Anyways I have only been to a few concerts in my lifetime :) But this was by far THE MOST AMAZING CONCERT IN THE WORLD!!! The concert included, Saving Abel, Papa Roach, Hinder and Nickelback... I was unsure how Saving Abel would sound (as they are newer than the rest of them) But I was so impressed by them... They were funny and very good at entertaining the crowd, and they sounded amazing... They played 18 days for Our Troops which I thought was really cool... Then... Papa Roach came on... I have loved Papa Roach forever, I also watch Scarred for this reason (well partly) He came on and sound fantastic... He really impressed me when he sang the last chorus of Scars in spanish!! Wow!! Then Hinder... I think they played the least amount of songs but they were all spectacular. Ok so for these first 3 bands we were sitting in the grass seats (yes we are CHEAP) However, my cousin and a couple family friends called us and said they had a few extra pit passes if we wanted them... HECK YES!! So we were front and center, ok maybe a little off to the left, but IN THE FRONT for Nickelback... This was like a dream come true for me... Thanks guys :) Let me tell you they put on such an amazing show! The drummer had his own drum solo when everyone else left the stage and he was so good! They also brought all the other bands that performed out on stage to sing some covers with them... Bon Jovi--Wanted...That's just the one I can remember, haha cuz even writing about this I get so excited... I will ask Kenny the other covers when I put up the pictures :) and a few other...(these were seperate from their other songs) I think total Nickelback played 21 songs... Old and New...

I have never screamed so much in my ENTIRE life... I left the concert barely being able to talk... I thought, man I came so close to completely losing my voice... The next day however, my voice was gone... I could talk but barely... You know how when you lose your voice you sound like a smoker, well I was past that stage... And something that was so funny was I tried to scream, like tried really hard to scream and nothing came out... So pretty sure I COMPLETELY lost my screaming voice for about 3 days... It was crazy... And I think because of this, my throat being hurtin, I got sick... Ugh... But if I had to do it all over again... Would i?? MOST DEFINITELY!! Sick, losing my voice! EVERYTHING!!!

So I guess I might be a little biased but I thought the concert was ENTIRELY amazing... So if Nickelback ever plays a concert close to you, I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommed going... It is worth every penny!!!!

P.S. No pictures on this blog cuz currently my pictures are stuck in my camera... Ugh.. I have an SD slot in my computer where I Just stick the card in, but for some reason it's not reading them... So, I am going to have to find time to take the card to walmart and put the pictures on a CD... We will see when that happens,hopefully soon :)
