a day when dreams came true...

erm... I'm such a lazyass... I'm writing only now... sorry... again.

so... You are wondering what is the so-called "a day when dreams came true"? Let me tell you more about it...

I'll never forget that date. 17th of July... It was like a dream. However, I needed to wake up really early and get ready for the long ride. We were driving to one small town in Latvia, called Salacgriva. There was "Positivus festival 2010". I wouldn't be so happy and nervous in one thime if there would be playing an ordinary and unknown bands... I came there for a bigger purpose... For one and only - MUSE.
After long way and "short" distance (about 250 kilometers) to the town, we've finally reached our destination. It was only 11am. The festival starts only at 13:00, so we went to the beach. It was really sunny morning... I've changed my t-shirt to another which I've made before. It was white t-shirt with word MUSE written on it. I wanted that people would know why I came here...
At 2pm we decided to go to the festival site.
Then, we were wearing festival braclets and walking around. There were lots of activities for people (e.g., art studios, lotteries, sport clubs...)
So, at 15:00, the music started on Tele 2 stage (the biggest one). We went to find a place near the stage. We were lucky, 'cuz there weren't much people at begining... First of all, a band, called Autumn Owls was playing. They were kinda interesting. Later, Ten Bears came. They were good in playing live (erm... despite the fact that I know only one their song, called "Braces"). After them, another band came. Sorry, but I don't remember their name ('cuz they didn't say it during the concert). Later, ASIWYFA (And So I Watch You From Afar) appeared. The main guy saw my t-shirt, pointed at me, laughed and said something to his bandmate. I heard only one word: "MUSE". blahhh.
After long break Scissor Sisters appeared. They were... kinda interesting. :) There were more and more people near Tele 2 stage.



FINALY, I've got really excited when I realised that MUSE soon will be there. When we saw Dom's drums, everyone near the stage started to shout as loud as they can. Everyone went crazy, so do I.




And then, the lights were off and MUSE came on the stage...



It was the best experience in my whole life!!!!!. I was standing in the first line nearest the stage and in front of Matt. Oh jeeez, we were really lucky. When I saw them first time, I couldn't believe in my own eyes. I even started crying... Because they were... so real...
It would be hard to write ALL my emotions I felt being there, but befor their concert I didn't even know that my voice is so loud and... good :)


Matt's guitars were absolutely gorgeous and looking MUCH better in reality than in photos. I could say the same about MUSE. Hehe photos spoil the REAL beauty ;)
The concert was really energetic. We were jumping, screaming, singing... We all raise our fists in the air shouting that we want the truth when MUSE were playing "Unnatural selection".
Oh, and lazers.... They were AWESOME!!!!! I loved the part when we were all singing "House of the Rising Sun". AMAZING. Matt's piano skills were extraordinary (as always). There was a funny moment at the end of "Unoted States of Eurasia". Matt was attacked by local bugs. hehe :D my sister filmed that. He. again. Later, they came back with their "bombs" - "Plug in Baby" and "Knights of Cydonia". MUSE hypnotised everyone. All you can do is jump, sing, shout and finally go nuts. We all went nuts because of MUSE.

We all wanted that it would last forever...but sadly, all good things come to an end.

After the concert people were still standing near the stage; they couldn't believe that this amazing concert had ended... Only MUSE equipment which was packed into boxes proved that it is the end.

The concert lasted for one hour and a half (22:30-1:00), but it wasn't enough... It was REALLY worth to wait them since 15:00, 'cuz this concert was EPIC!!!!

My sister took a lot of photos and videos (I'd love to thank her, 'cuz I was too excited to hold a photocamera). You can check them out on my facebook page and youtube (AnotherMuseFreak).

-.-

I'm sorry I haven't written here for ages, but the fact is that I'm always busy.... Yeah I know, the summer supposed to be relaxing and holiday time, but now I'm so busy. Today I have some freetime, so I'm writing...

I wrote an article, but I didn't published it yet... Dunno why.

These days are really hot and I hate that. lol

erm, I don't really know why, but I'm very jelaous of people who were at this year's Glastonbury festival. I wanted to go there, BUT I don't know how. I think it's impossible to ger there when the tickets are sold out only after 12 hours. Wow. I believe maybe later I'll find some friends who would love to go there. Eh...

We had celebrated the Midsummer festival... It was nice. We were watching movies and eating popcorns from 11pm 'till 4am. I don't know why but the last years "Midsummer festival" was better for me... I was watching Muse concerts and went to bed only at 5am.
erm... I don't like "traditional" Lithuanian Midsummer festival. It's strange... Jumping around the torch, drinking beer as much as you can and singing stupid songs while you're drunk.... BLAH....

I guess that's all.... Maybe later I'll write something with meaning and something interesting.


OK, I'll go to eat chocolate; I can't live without it :D


see ya later!

another post to say I'm back

well helo! how are you doin'? I'm doin' kinda good...

Also, my two-day-long journey had finished. I came back home on Thursday evening. It was a pitty lo leave the city, but I was really homesick too. I've visited some shops, nice places, parks, I even visited  the Cross mount.
It's in Siauliai. The Cross mount is a place with LOTS of crosses... It's a favourite place of piligrims (erm... despite the fact that I'm not religious), blah blah blah, and it's an authentic place 'cuz nowhere in the world there aren't such places like that...

The first day was shopping day... My sister and I visited some shops, supermarkets, etc... We went to the city park on evening... When I saw "The Golden Boy square" I thought that I've come to the village 'cuz the grass was about one meter long. I think it was even longer... in some parts of city, people were cutting the grass with scythes and transporting it with tractors... erm... yeah, and this is called "THE City". Just purrrrfect...

This is the famous "The Golden Boy square" with enormous grass (yeah, it's me on background...):

also, we've visited the... park (?) with a nice iron fox:



Then, I've spent night in hostel, where my sister lives when she's studying at university. Here's the view from My room's window:

After taking this picture we've watched football on TV. Spain didin't win...
Next day we've continued shoppings and ranblings around the city. I was really amazed by sounds of fighter planes flying around the city. "They are for safety," my sister explained. When another fighter plain flied followed by very loud sound, I said that it was amazing. My sister answered: "what? again? I just don't hear them". It was nice experience, though.

Later we've visited The Cross mount... Last time I've been there was about 6 years ago...
here are few photos from there:
