Tenth Avenue North

Guys!!! I went to a Tenth Avenue North concert!!!!!!!! 
It was AMAZING!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! 
And MIKE DONEHEY!!!!!!  HE WAS AMAZING!!!!!!! His VOICE!!!! It is so BEAUTIFUL!!!!!
OK, *takes deep breath* I should probably get a hold of myself. :P :D 
But you guys don't understand what is happening here!! My dream came true! I saw my favorite-est band of all centuries and all time, LIVE!! In concert!! They were there, like right in front of me!! I SAW them in REAL LIFE!! Ohhhhh, it was amazing! Like the best thing I have ever done in my life. THE BEST!! I should probably stop ranting on and on about how amazing, and wonderful, and awesome, and beautiful, and the best thing ever, it was. I will now show you some pictures and videos I took. (I had a pretty junk camera most of the time so the pictures didn't turn out very good)

   We got the VIP experience so this is from the pre-show Q&A and acoustic set.



 

This is where they first came out. :)



Unfortunately my video of them singing Beloved for the acoustic session is to big so I can't put it on here. But I will put it on my YouTube channel. I will put a link to it at the bottom of my post. :D 


Part of the Q&A session

                                         

Then Mike told the story about his unfortunate incident in Honduras, which is my favorite-st story ever! It is SO hilarious!!! But that one won't upload onto my blog either. So I will put them on my YouTube channel. And a link to it at the bottom of my post. :)

Here is a clip of them playing Cathedrals


And here are some clips from Losing
Mike is really getting his dance moves in. :D :D 

                                      

Mike's step by step instructions to get rid of grudges. :D

                                         

I love this one. :D :D

                                          

And finally part of the bridge.

                                          

I really love those videos I got of losing! They are awesome! :D 

OK, now I will put some pictures I took on. :D

I took these ones with my sisters camera, which is ten times better than the other camera I was using. :D 






I got this pre-signed poster that came with the VIP experience. :D 
Because sadly I didn't get to meet Mike or the other guys. :( :(

Update in.....well Life

Hello people! Whats going on? 
OK, first of all the most exciting thing!!! I was given a copy of Islands by Tenth Avenue North!!! It's so beautiful!!!! Here are some pictures of it. :D 







Yes I probably only needed one picture to show you, but..........IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!! And I was practicing taking pictures for school. Sooo.........

And this is really late, but I got a ipod/mp3 player for my birthday. I feel like I already told you this.....Oh, well. Anyways here are some pictures of my ipod/mp3player being awesome. (if it can do that) 


And as you can see, I have basically all the Tenth Avenue North songs. I have them all except like two or three from The Light Meets the Dark I think. 

Tenth Avenue North is making a Christmas album!!! And it comes out November 10th!!!!! Ahhhhh!!!! I can't wait!!! I might buy it when it comes out. :D Here is a link to (what I believe is) the cover. https://www.instagram.com/p/BaE-Q-MhD1U/?hl=en&taken-by=mikedonehey
I am SOOOOOOOOOOOO excited!!!!!! OK, next thing.

Just figure I should mention that I finished Shadow Hand, and also read Golden Daughter. And let me just say, Golden Daughter is like the greatest work of fantasy in the world. It left me like: #!&@^*^%$@$^&^*@&@!!^!%$$^#&%^&*^(@#$@*($&*^
So yes read this series. It is Tales of Goldstone Woods by Anne Alisabeth Stengl. They are amazing. 

Also I read a whole new series called Blood of the Kings by Jill Williamson. Guys this series is AMAZING!!! I think they are now some of my top favorite books in the world. :D :D Go read this series too. :) 



Speaking of books, here are some of the new books I got. 

 Here is my messy bookshelf, that, as you can probably see, has ran out of room for books. I need a new bookshelf!!



I have gotten more books but I wasn't really sure which ones and stuff so.............
                                 Here are some CD's I got.


            Like I said, I was practicing taking pictures. :D ;)



And now here is a peak into my bullet Journal. Which I think I am going to start calling my lyric journal. :D Cause that is basically all it is, lyrics. :D 






                        What do you think? 

This is REALLY random but check out these awesome knives I got!! :D :D ;D 

I also have these awesome pig tusks, that I pried out of its jaw. :D 

I am currently reading Rising Shadows. It has been OK, it is getting more interesting though. And since I wasn't able to finish this post and it is now later, I am now finished Rising Shadows. It was pretty good. I am probably going to rate it 4 stars. I am excited to read Chasing Shadows, the second book in the series. :) 

Here are some pictures of my electr-....*coughs* My dad's electric guitar. I keep it in my room though, cause he kind of, sort of, maybe bought it for me to use. :P :) They are not very good pictures though. They looked better on the camera. :P I was practicing manually focusing. (which apparently as you can see from the pictures I'm not very good at) :P :P 







OK, that was very random, and I have no idea why I even put them on there. :P 

Guys, Tenth Avenue North is the best, most amazing, awesomest, coolest, lots of other good words, band EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Like who would not LOVE them! I know, you guys are probably sick of me mentioning them. But I'm not going to apologize for it, cause I'm not sorry for mentioning them. :D 






I am also not sorry for bombarding you with pictures of them. :D ;)
Also check out this blog! :D All the Pretty Things  You will know why I like it. :D ;) ;) 

I will be posting some more stuff on the My Projects and Art tab some time. So be checking that. :) I am currently working on a little project which I may or mat not show you sometime. :) 
And with that I will end this long post. :D So goodbye peoples, and listen to Tenth Avenue North!!!!  P.S and tell me about it if you do
P.P.S comment!!
