last night was... thrilling! The Music were on top form. just as wonderful as they've always been. 'Bleed From Within' with both adam and stu drumming was wild. looking around, we felt as if we were at a high school dance, but i think the younger audience really contributed to the energy level of the crowd... i hear elsewhere on the tour the crowds have been less than dance-y. what made the evening extra special was the rendezvous with the guys afterwards. ;) they reminded me once again why they're my favourite band. (nixing Starsailor) it's been said before but they are so down to earth and friendly and genuine.
more later maybe?
caroline's in town. we're going for sushi.. then.. 'being busy with other things' while watching the Oscars.
oh, and pics from the concert - http://photos.yahoo.com/southernclimbs

a tad cheesy... but i like it! a lot!

Become Yourself
by Matthew Jay

Oh he could be different from the rest
If only he believed the voice

That speaks inside him,
Telling him that beauty hides beneath his skin
But nasty people who don't have the voice
Will try to slow him down
They might beat him sometimes
But his words will all rhyme

Become yourself my boy,
You're only half way there
It's not so easy living with your soul laid bare
But you will find out that a little courage pays off
Become yourself my boy
And then you get somewhere

When he was a boy
He could see something written out across the sky
Though he was young
He recognised his name among the other words
And later realised 'BECOME YOURSELF'
Was what the message said
Though he still was not sure,
So he waited some more

It would be so shameful
If he strolled through life without taking a chance
He should stop living in the shadows
And begin to use his head
'Cos no one else today can do the things
That he was born to do
He should trust in the voice,
It's not even a choice

The Same Mistakes - The Cooper Temple Clause

And so it has to change
The notebook's now in pieces
Words we'll never sing
I know you'll say i've simply jumped the gun
And that they've win
But you can't keep making the same mistakes
You see i've had this thought
It took its time in coming
But now won't be denied
I'd always gone about these things all wrong
But not this song
Coz you can't keep making the same mistakes
No you can't keep making hte same mistakes
Can't jump ship just yet
There's no one at the wheel
Someone has to steer
Get a hold of yourself
Keep your head there's no time to waste
You'll see it soon enough
But all is not forgotten
And now's no time for tears
Coz though that boy has died this one still lives
And now there's life
And a change to make up for all those mistakes
But please don't get me wrong
Coz everything was honest
True and from the heart
There's still the same old hang ups so don't fret
Its not safe yet
And who knows there's always time to screw up again
But maybe we'll be cool
Coz you were made an offer
You could not refuse
You made me come alive and see my face
See my grace
And we grow or do we just haul it around?

Jolt of Jo'burg

just caught this at the wonderful Arbor Room. too bad it took so long for me to go check out the FREE live music there.
thanks to AliMac for introducing me to this fabulous group -
Tumi and the Volume.

not been up to much.
a great weekend in ottawa despite feeling like absolute shit with a headachy fevery cold/cough. still went skating on the canal, ate beavertails etc. ;)

it's crunch time school wise and i'm not feeling terribly motivated, but what else is new?
leaving for Vancouver next week. excited but going slightly crazy thinking about the work i should do before then, and thinking about the feelings of guilt i'll have when i'm out there and should be doing work, and thinking about the all-nighter i'll pull upon returning...
argh.
argh is the word of the day, of the week, of the month, of the semester. it shouldn't be, but it is. rah

at least eric surprised me the other day with new headphones. that makes things significantly better. and i've just discovered...
TUMI and the Blowfish! -------
i mean Tumi and The Volume!
