..no im not talking about Scorpios
i mean the SCORPIONS, the rock band from Germany..

Yesterday was their first concert in 15 years in Lebanon, and lets just say they are still going strong!

i learnt yesterday when i watched those 60 something year old men rock away like no tomorrow that age is truly just an illusion, that really what counts is how old you feel.. im 21 and i've been feeling like a bitter old lady! but not yesterday, yesterday was something else, the best concert yet!!


i also learnt a couple of other things last night at the concert:

1- it pays to be relatively tall (thank you God for that)
2- i have a surprisingly loud voice, and the perseverance that was rewarded when they finally sang my all-time favorite Scorpions song, the whole crowd was requesting another song, only i requested it and for the first time in so many years they performed it live.. i dunno what to say except that it felt good to be heard


any rock and roll experiences my fellow "LL"ers would like to share?

Cool don't think I've herd of that band. But do they rock out in German language?

Okay...so back in 09 I went to my first and so far only Mayhem concert.

I went with this guy that was in my highschool. You know how lots of teens and very young adults are all into having having some lame identity and image. Well he liked having that identity and image of being a skin head. But I got to know the real him...and he isn't. He just does so he is different or something.

1. He was atracted to me and I look like a jew. lol
2. When he was only with me, he would listin to Saun Paul. AND HE KNEW THE WORDS.
(but he is an Aqua Sun...and I guess that was the only way he could rebel against his liberal parents haha)

Also I beleive that was the first year in a while that they welcomed Marilyn Manson back to Mayhem.
In front of his other friends that thought it was cool to be a rasits, skin head, homophobe...He would act like he dispised Marilyn Manson. But when his friends left...he was having a blast jamming out to it with me.

Anyway earlier in the day...we would watch the other acts...he likes to mosh. So I would let him do his moshing. While stuck with this other crazy chick...And she was all like "lets start a girl mosh pit...ha not alot of girls wanted to...Anyways this was durring Cannibal Corpse...By then I was in the middle of the crowd. When one of the dudes from the band anounced something like..."Now everybody mosh! Don't make me come down there and stick a rail up your ****ing ass!!" So oh **** what the hell am I doing in the center of the crowd if everyone is gonna start moshing!!? So I moshed my way out thinking...I'm a girl...people will take it easy on me. Then all of a sudden this dude tackles me on my ass! I couldn't beleive it. I wasn't hurt...but I was horrified thinking did a guy REALLY just tackle me til I fell on my ass? This one dude picked up on my vibes and said something like "what the hell are you doing in here?!" and some how the guy got me out of where that moshing was happening.

Okay yeah me being the sheltered-ish kind of girl I am was not expecting that...! Anyone else would of been like duh...what do you expect?! lmao

That was the craziest summer of my life. I was younger, crazier, and dumber.

This summer has been sorta dull for me...I kinda miss those days...09 was like a wild adventure.
But then right now I have Uranus Squaring my Jupier. And the interpretation says
"You will greatly need independence, you will feel a prisoner, trapped. You will rebel in order to gain your independence. You will not be able to stand the humdrum everyday existence, you will want to change your life. You will feel ill-at-ease and have the feeling that something amazing is passing you by. Often no big change comes about, so you are left with being ill-at-ease."

Maybe after a while I can find a happy medium for the rest of summer...It's been not too easy so far.
