BILLY JOEL.

AHHH I am now very excited and happy.

Last Satrday I woke up at 9:30am to get online and wait til 10:00am when tickets for Billy Joel would go on sale.

I got them! They were section 100, the level right after Floor.

However... I was too slow and lost them... sad sad sad...

But Behold! The next tickets I waited for were BETTER!!! I ended up buying two tickets for Row 27 on the Floor!!!

AMAZING. I'm so thankful!!! :)

NOW! Ah!

Right now I'm sitting at my dad's office desk listening to Seventeen Ain't So Sweet by Red Jumpsuit Apparatus. I feel angry, dissapointed, and yet rather content.

Angry - Certain people I know get patted on the back way too much for and after doing the wrong things.

Dissapointed - High hopes? I have none.

Rather Content - I will always have music.

NOW! A word to explain all that: I'm alright. I'm a bit unhappy, but some people are way worse off than me. And I have music to play, music to hear, music to sing. Plus, the best songs are the ones written when one is extremely unhappy. So I guess that's good...?

Ah! Bennie and the Jets is playing now... a brilliant song. Great bass line as well...

Dear Frankie

So, as I've mentioned, I've recently started a band, with two and a half of my friends, called Dear Frankie. We've written at least one song (together) and multiple others. Our music would be described as... perhaps sad, perhaps angry. Perhaps even a little happy. It's rock...pop...y... stuff. Alternative I supose.

(A word on our styles: We have all sortof created our own images of the music we want to play based on our musical idols. Mine would be mainly Elton John(My favorite as I love piano and play it) and Queen. Though I love almost all music and think very highly of other artists(Ben Folds, Eminem, Arcade Fire, etc.). The others (we shall call them Little Joanna and Dookie and the Other. At times I'm know as Muse #3.) listen to other artists. Obviously. Dookie is a little punker indeed! Haha. She enjoys My Chemical Romance, and Greenday. Mostly (I think) Greenday.(She also went through several years of Hip-hop and R&B) Little Joanna is the same. (I also love those artists and have seen Greenday in concert with Dookie) As for the Other, I really don't know. So there it is.)

In regards to the players in the band, we basically don't know many instruments, but are working it out. =) Little Joanna is the main singer, with Dookie and I singing occasionally (similar to McFly or Arcade Fire). We're hoping she'll learn Bass as well. Dookie is learning pick guitar (mainly from me telling her what I want her to do hah) and has played piano for a while. The Other is the keyboardist. I play rhythm/pick guitar, piano(mainly), bit of harmonica..., and can play bass a little. In other words: we are trying to figure out a Bassist and a Drummer(Dookie would like to do this).

Alright. So that's the "brief" overview.
