CONCERTS & STUFF

I have to call concert's-anonymous, I swear! I'm about to attend my 6th concert! Literally. First it was the first year's round of Top 12 artists from Australian Idol, then a few years later it was the Pussycat Dolls & Lady GaGa, after that was Nickelback & Britney, then earlier this year of 2010 it was ACDC and this weekend it's about to be the Backstreet Boys! My best friend had two tickets to the show and up until two weeks ago, had no one to go with... since I love going to the city whenever I can and I am a fan of the BSB's earlier work.. I said I'd go with her! Woo hoo! Now I am excited, I spent the last week listening to their older stuff and just got hooked again! Yep, that quickly too! My concert's won't stop there either, I have big gig's to attend of Kelly Clarkson, which is not far away, only next month! Then there is John Mayer (whom is someone I have always, ALWAYS wanted to see!) and then I'm going to a music festival with a great friend of mine to see a HUGE line up of artists that are all coming to Australia within the same week, that include: Akon, Pitbull, Kelly Rowland and a local DJ called DJ Nino Brown! I think I can fairly say I am addicted to concert's & seeing LIVE music happen! It's amazing, it's the best way to hear music. And you can betcha that when all the gig's end, I'll have more to go to and will have to fairly weigh up saving money & spending it on seeing future event's, lol. I did hear that Pink is coming to Australia again in December 2010 as the ambassador for the Australian Superracing V8's, so you can gather that yeah, I'll definitely be seeing her THIS time. I missed out when she was here last year, despite wanting to go, it was a lot of drama to go & even when the tickets went on sale I got the wrong pre-sale date, so it had pretty much sold out by the time I went to buy mine, lol. Oh and as promised, I'll be adding up photo's here from my recent small trip to the city to see ACDC, Wolfmother and Calling All Cars and here is the first one...

Angus Young on stage during the first Sydney concert ACDC has done in MANY years.

I'm just waiting on dinner to be ready and then I'll be off here. I'm starving, lol. I don't normally watch much tv these days but I have recently started getting back into two of my favorite show's, Australia's So You Think You Can Dance and Neighbours, my fave male dancer's would have to be Nick and Phillipe, my fave female dancer's would have to be Ivy and Jess S. I'm not sure how many Aussies still continue to watch the newer show's as they come back each year again but I presume it would be a lot, since dancing itself is a big thing in Australia. As is musician's too, or artists/creator's in general. And I LOVE that about my country! Ohh you guys probably won't believe me but I have not seen any new films lately. I did see The Wolfman while I was on my mini holiday but that was two weeks ago now. I am planning on seeing Alice in Wonderland and Valentine's Day, hopefully I get to see both of them sometime pretty soon. I enjoy watching films, it makes me escape the real world but I always find myself also studying the directing or screenplay style of writing... what does that tell you? That I AM very interested in film-making, yep! Because that's true, I am. And somehow I would absolutely LOVE to somehow incorporate graphic designing with film, and I do know that it is possible, I have seen it. And it seems to be the way film-making is going now... so I guess I should say this about my future (even if it be studying, working in it, or both at the same time) 'watch this space' because I really have now finally found what it is I wish to do for a long-term career! And I can incorporate photography, writing stories, graphic designing & now film all into the one combination easily.. it makes sense, right? I think if I have an interest in all three of those things, and clearly film-making is related to each of those thing's... then it must be what I'd be happy doing! And I cannot wait! I really can't.

ACDC LIVE on stage playing on their Black Ice Tour.

Now onto other things; work is good, well I need to do as much as I can at the moment to save back up again, haha. I honestly spent a lot more than I had thought and I had a bit of a shock when I checked my bank, haha. Ah well. I did enjoy what I had spent it on so that's worth it, right? I think so. Life is too short not to enjoy the finer thing's in life too. I know we all work but pay yourself more respect and enjoy! It's not a crime, not any of it is selfish and if you can do it most of all, then do so. Because as I said, it's worth it. Oh what I should mention is the show Fringe, WOW. I have just watched the first season on blu-ray dvd's and WOW, it's got me hooked, pretty much instantly. I am usually not ever interested in sci-fi tv show's or in most cases I watch the first few episodes but then forget it's on (I'm obviously not that hooked, or interested) or remember it's on but not bother changing channels for it. I guess it helps that the tv show's come out on DVD not long after anyway. But I do really enjoy watching Fringe, it has Joshua Jackson in it and Anna Torv. If you didn't know, (from IMDB) - it's centered around a female FBI agent who is forced to work with an institutionalized scientist in order to rationalize a brewing storm of unexplained phenomena. Sound's confusing but it's actually a lot easier to follow/watch, than you think. I really liked Flash Forward as well but it's not on air anymore, I think we're waiting for the new episodes to air, lol. I miss it. Fringe has sort of filled that void for me, atleast for the time being.

Dinner is almost ready so I am going to get off now and EAT. I hope everyone is having a great week and has an awesome weekend too, I'll be taking a road-trip to the city again for the weekend to see none other than, the Backstreet Boys!. I'll have photo's in my next update. By the way, I have mentioned the form spring possibility that I may open an account there and receive/answer any question's that are sent, providing their appropriate one's, so I'll be looking into that very soon. Take care everyone, stay safe and I'll update you soon on my trip. Love Jaz xXx.

Love Jaz xXx.

ACDC WERE OFF THE CHAIN!

I just got back last night from the city where I saw ACDC LIVE in concert, during their Sydney leg of the Black Ice Tour 2010. They were literally OFF the CHAIN! Unfortunately when I purchased my tickets I did not know what the floorplan or stage was going to be like, and it just happened so that our seats were at the other end of where the stage was.. so we were pretty far away. Not bad since we could hear them but the problem was not seeing them very well and surprisingly, for ACDC, they were pretty tame... the sound audio seemed lower than what they're use to.. I was expecting it to be thunderously loud where the beats went through my chest, but nope. Nadda. I was a bit shocked. To be honest. Especially for the band ACDC. But the concert was good, the band were amazing, it was just a little letdown about the stage audio setup. I went to the first Sydney show on the 18th Feb, I wonder if anyone else out there went & noticed the same thing? Let me know people.

I did a lot of my fave thing, shopping. You're probably wondering how I fund all my shopping, lol, I work. And I don't mind spending it on shopping, even though yeah maybe I shouldn't be because I have greater thing's to spend it on like setting up a new car, a new place to live but ah well, I think life is too short not to enjoy everything possible in it. So I stopped saying no to myself about buying thing's I wanted and stopped saying no to myself about going to concerts. Now I go and I am so happy I am, I am thoroughly enjoying it! I still have one more week off work, yay! I'm glad & it was a nice surprise because before I was under the impression that I had to go back in two days, but nope. Yay for another week of relaxation! I know Noelle is going to LOVE this news.... I'm going to see Backstreet Boys in concert next month!!! A best friend of mine has two tickets and needed someone to go with, so I said I'd go! Why not! I think it will be really nice. So I'm looking forward to that now. I have been a fan of their's for a long time, usually their original stuff and I always liked AJ, Kevin & Brian. Woo hoo! I have not been out to a club or pub for almost two weeks now, hahaha, proud? LOL. I think that will change soon though, hahaha. I am thinking of buying an iPhone, I love going to the markets and seeing the cool covers there is for them.

I'm really liking Daniel Merriweather's music lately, I have always been into it but been constantly listening to it lately and just so into it. I hope he does well and brings another album out soon, because DAMN. He's very good, if you have not heard his music yet, I recommend him. Especially the song's 'Change', 'For Your Love' and 'Impossible'. Oh in other COOL news; another gig is heading my way... in the likes of JOHN MAYER, I'm going to see him in his 'Battle Studies' tour, he comes here to Australia in May. I cannot wait! I have wanted to see him for years now and finally I am! He has already been here touring for 6yrs, this will be his 7th time touring here and how bad is it that I had not even seen him in concert yet! I own a lot of his LIVE dvd's and now I am ecstatic that I'm seeing him LIVE very soon! Woo hoo! A really good friend of mine & I are going to it, yay! I'm stoked! I have always known that John puts on intimate performances, as if it's just him & you in the room. I. CAN'T. WAIT. Well just a short update for now. Not much going on really, maybe I will have a few movie reviews for you guys later. Oh I did see Edge of Darkness and it was FANTASTIC! I honestly loved it so much, best film I saw since Avatar & Up. I love good films! Take care everyone and I will be updating again very soon with photo's from my holiday & the ACDC concert. Have a good week everybody. I am thinking of getting one of those spring forms for people to ask me question's, good idea or what? Love Jaz xXx.

Love Jaz xXx.

BETTER WEEKEND

Woo hoo! Last weekend was much, much better than the two previous. Everyone had a good time & it was all happy. It's good to get back to that. No drama's, no issues or problem's. The music was good, everybody danced, had fun, caught up with each other & one of my close friend's were out too. I guess it was also a bonus that some old high school friend's of mine were out as well. It was really cool. Oh, I didn't mention this before but I got a new desktop. This time I went to a iMac! Yep, I officially converted & I'm definitely not looking back either. I don't know why I wasn't already using this, lol. I've already became addicted to apps & other stuff, it's fun. I had always used iTunes before but never set up an account until now and just the other day I rented a movie on it, I got My Sister's Keeper. WOW, what a film. It was so original, moving and sad. Overall, the acting & directing were brilliant. It took me like, forever, to eventually get to watch it. I'm really glad I saw it now. I recommend it to anyone. I also recently saw Up in the Air, the new film from George Clooney.. it was very good but the ending is a little anti-climatic. You could say the same for The Lovely Bones, it was brilliant, had a terrific story with beautiful imagery/scenery in certain scenes & aspects of the film... but again, the ending was a bit unofficial.

The next films I plan to see are The Blind Side, A Single Man, Edge of Darkness and Valentine's Day. Haha, that's a lot of films right? I just see one after the other, it's almost the only thing I ever want to do, it's becoming almost like a study to me. To see what ways the director's directed, or the writer wrote. It's beautiful and I am enjoying learning what I see. I have always been a very visual person, so it fits. Oh another film to review that I saw, is Nine. Now, the musical parts and dancing sequences were brilliant, I thoroughly enjoyed it and I think Daniel Day Lewis's acting was superb, as usual. He is such a good actor, he really is, he throws himself into his roles and almost becomes them. I'd hire him for any film I did, and Morgan Freeman is another actor that I would hire. Speaking of which, I'd like to see Invictus too. Morgan looks amazing in it. He is engaging to watch, even when he speaks and says anything, people listen. I love it. So Nine was good, except for the storyline.. it revolved around the same concept the entire time, it didn't move along or go anywhere with it, it was sort of boring that way but the entertaining parts were the singing and dancing. So not a recommendation but if you're bored at home one day, it's that sort of film to watch. Onto my work; it's been okay. Not bad nor great. Which is good I guess. I wouldn't want an extreme situation from it, although I did have a bit of a bad day today, it was still okay. I am still on the hunt for something full-time and better.

Let's move onto what else I've been doing, shopping on Ebay! Haha. I have almost become addicted to it, really. It's getting kind of bad. Just this week I bought a hood for my SLR camera from Hong Kong, about 4 different cocktail dresses to wear on night's out at the club, I have just been browsing some high heel peep toe pump's on there, in the colours of yellow and pink! Hehe! I really just want a gold, pink or yellow pair of peep toe pump heels with a bow or something, just to stand out from the rest of the outfit. I think mixing colours is always fun as long as they go together. I really ought to make a webcam log of all my purchases, haha, because if it's not Ebay, it's local shops I have purchased stuff from. I need a new cupboard as it is, let alone making a larger collection of clothes/shoes to fit into it, hahaha. Got to love girls like me, I'm proud of it, lol. I've been thinking about getting a new mobile/cell phone to use and been contemplating an iPhone. I really have become obsessed/addicted to Apple products now, haha. And I'm sure you all heard about the new iPad that Apple have made, it really does look just like a big version of the iPhone, it's touch screen (obviously) and it does just about anything, but I have heard (it may be a joke) that you can only have one program open on it at a time, but that's probably just a joke, right? I don't know. Anyhow, it looks and seems pretty cool.. I wonder what Apple will think of next?!? Hmm. I'm all for Apple now, I am converted, for real.

This Saturday night will be a mutually known person's 21st birthday, all of us are going out to the club for it, well most of my friend's are, I'm going out for another reason, to have fun! I'm excited to have a really great night! We all need one. However, that girl turning 21 is a girl I've always been nice to & she is workmates with my bf's brother. Well all along for the past year and a half that I've known her, I thought she was a very fun & nice girl well until I found out recently that she had been talking bad about me behind my back to my other friend's. Yep! She had. And I'm not bothered by what she said but more the fact that she did it in the first place. That she had the audacity to throw opinion's & judge me after I've been so welcoming/nice to her, especially when she's meant to be a friend. And she's in no position to judge other people. I just hate being nice to people & because of some immature influence, they throw it all back in your face by doing you wrong like that. So I don't necessarily feel like celebrating this girl's birthday but I'm still going out to have my own good night. I will ignore this girl completely & hope her birthday is, well, ordinary, lol. Haha. I guess it might be about time I made a new layout for this site. It has been a while. I might, I might not, but if I do it won't be till another month or so.. when I have more time to think about a new theme/idea for it. It's still summer time here in Australia, atleast for one more month so I will keep it up for now. I have noticed that a lot of bloggers that I visited have now stopped blogging but still have their websites up. I hope ya'll get time to blog again, I know it's hard trying to find things to say sometimes but sometimes the simple things to be said are the funnest to read. I'm pretty drained and tired from work this week so I'm going to end it here and update some dead links on my 'World Wide Web' section of other people's blogs, oh and I'm always keen to meet new people and read their blogs so if you know anyone with a good blog to read, recommend it to me and I'll visit. Have a good weekend, take care, love Jaz xXx. Love Jaz xXx.

Love Jaz xXx.

WOW. EPIC

The last two weekend's have meant to be good but the majority of them have turned out pretty bad. Let's say the word 'epic' is a good word to describe them both. Particularly at the beginning of both of the night's out that we endured, I say endured because there wasn't too much FUN in them, the first weekend I'm talking about, we were literally waiting for the clock to tick for it to close (the club) so we could leave. That's a pretty clear sign that we shouldn't be out. So, the second weekend (the one just passed) we decided to have a bbq at a friend's place and party there. You know, instead of going out to the actual club. Well. Good idea. But due to a bunch of misconceptions and paranoia, a friend of mine got upset at me & another friend of our's and left. They didn't come back. As soon as I knew what was going on, I felt like I was right back in high school. You know, that old immature drama that was bullshit since the moment it started? Yeah, that. So, what was meant to be a good night turned into a very bad one for a long time. Despite that, toward the end of the night, it got a lot better and the remaining people (my other friends and I) all had a lot of fun. But the beginning was still all in our mind's. It's sad and a real shame, because it would have been a terrific night. Meh. Can't mould the mind's of affected people, their misconception's are way too powerful at the time. Ahh! So after those two bad weekend's, you'd think it'd be a sign to not go out for a while but there isn't really much else to do around here on the weekend's. Not even in summer.

Work; well I could say that was epic too. We were majorly under-staffed, overly busy and I just constantly remembered all the other things I had to do (outside of work) that I couldn't do, because I was AT work. Ah! Don't you hate those week's? I certainly hope next week, the one that starts now, is a lot better! In terms of film's, I saw The Tooth Fairy last Monday, it was really sweet, cute and funny... but it's definitely a film for children and younger teen's. It was still a fun film and I love Dwayne Johnson, so that helped watching it, haha. I also saw 'It's Complicated', that was such a funny movie. Meryl is absolutely brilliant in it, as she is usually in all her film's. Alec was good too but it was a reminder that he is definitely better seen IN clothes, rather than not. HAHAHA. I also saw Did You Hear About the Morgan's?, I'm not sure if I already mentioned that but it was very funny and Im glad I saw it. Sarah is very good in it, so is Hugh. What is funny is that I normally don't like Hugh Grant, or anything that he is in.. however this film was pretty good. It also starred Mary Steenburgen, you know, the woman who plays Nancy Huff in Step Brothers, Brennan's mother. OMG. She is hilarious! Her comedic ability is amazing. I'll always remember her saying 'what the f'n f' in Step Brothers when Brennan and Dale have that major fight in the front yard, and even the hose doesn't get them apart, haha. I love that film! I can definitely watch any comedy film with Will Ferrell, John C Reilly or Mary Steenburgen in it. Yay!

Well, that's about all the news I have at the moment. It's pretty late here and I cannot wait to get to bed after the busy day at work I had today. I worked Sunday night, yup, lame huh? I had to. Not a choice. Ah well. I have next weekend off, completely, so I have nothing to complain about now. I hope everyone had a good week and a better weekend than me. You might beable to tell that even in my writing, I sound bitter or different tonight. That's the affect the weekend has had on me. I think it's time for a break of going or or doing anything big. But it's hard to attempt to have fun on a weekend, by doing nothing but relaxing.. it becomes boring. Anyway, hope everyone has a brilliant week ahead. No drama's hopefully. And before I go, I'd love to thank Gwen on the beautiful NYE card that was sent to me, so thank you very much Gwen! I hope you have a terrific 2010 too & we definitely have to keep more in touch this year. Love Jaz xXx.

Love Jaz xXx.
