Ugh, this week is such poopie...
Preps rule NJHS, so there goes most of the fun in that. My book project looks like my computer threw up on it, I'm STARVING and just probably gaining more weight....
I STILL haven't gotten anything from Mitchel! ARE YOU THAT BUSY?!
*AH LET'S PAUSE FOR A MOMENT SO I CAN TALK ABOUT SOMETHING DIFFERENT*
This past weekend, I saw "Rain: A Tribute to the Beatles" You know FULL well I'll never see the Beatles, and that it would have been awesome if I'd been alive to see them perform back in the sixties. And for this group, WHOOWEE. they sound and look JUST like them! It was amazing. So of course, with this authenticity, and my lack of ever seeing the Beatles, when the curtain came up to John, Paul, George, and Ringo, dressed in their suits with mop-top hair, on the set of the Ed Sullivan show, I BURST INTO TEARS.
Seriously, I was crying through most of it! A Day in the Life, Imagine, Give Peace a Chance, Hey Jude, NOTHING BUT TEARS.
Hey Jude was the last number, and by then I was pretty darn hysterical. You may think that I'm completely CRAZY. Well. I (and others!) have a spiritual connection with that music, and seeing it performed by a group that's half DEAD really touches me.
During Give Peace a Chance, I sobbed for John Lennon. ALL HE EVER WANTED WAS A LITTLE PEACE IN THIS WORLD. And what happens? SOMEONE SHOOTS HIM!
That was probably one of the greatest experiences I've ever had. I may never have seen the Beatles in their prime, but I feel like I have now. It was incredible, emotional, and personally, I was a bit hysterical. When you see the videos of the girls in the audience of Beatle concerts, they cried and screamed because of just their presence.
So did I.
