I don't like my clothes anymore

I saw Metric with my sister, other sister, cousin, sister's boyfriend, and my other sister's friend and it was fun.

Except there is one problem. We forgot the camera, so in this post I have no pictures or video to show to myself.

I feel that whenever I am about to leave to a concert something happens. When I was going to see Crystal Castles my dad took the car keys and my sisters and I only have one phone, so it was difficult to contact my youngest sister to tell her that we had to go on the train. We share that one phone except that I never use the phone or have used a phone in probably over a year. I guess I can live without a phone. *shrugs*

Back to Metric.

My sisters and I entered a contest for free tickets to see Metric. We had to post on Twitter and Facebook and Instagram. I don't have an Instagram because a phone is needed for that. Anyway, we decided to enter the contest that day before it ended, which was in reality less that twenty-four hours before the contest ended. I posted about seven posts to that contest and I really thought that I would not win. I never win anything, so before I went to school I checked my e-mail and I saw this in my e-mail:

I clicked on the e-mail, which then sent me to a webpage and I received a second e-mail that read like this:

And in the second e-mail it said this:

Yay! I had won two tickets to see Metric, but then I didn't know who to take and so I asked my cousin. My other little cousin was supposed to go, but as we were about to leave we found out that the show was 17+. In a short time we had one extra ticket. However, this was resolved when we quickly thought of inviting  my sister's friend. While we tried to get a hold of him on the phone my other sister's boyfriend's bicycle tire got a flat and my cousin was hungry. Everything was hectic....

We quickly picked up my other sister's boyfriend, my sister's friend, and we still had to pick up my sister from her job, which was kind of far away. All of this was accomplished in a reasonable amount of time for we still got to the concert around 8:15 pm. When we entered the venue My Gold Mask was playing.

After what felt like less than ten minutes they ended their performance and a bit later Gemini Club played. They put on a great show. The lead singer even quoted John Lennon with this quote, "Would the people in the cheaper seats clap your hands. And the rest of you, if you'll just rattle your jewelry." Ironically, we were in the front. There wasn't many people.

Metric took a while to go on stage, but when they did it was like a giant had opened its eyes to let out the world that had been hidden underneath.

They played songs from all of their CD's I believe.

When I think of Metric I think of my graduation day from high school. Before I graduated and when I was at home I kept listening to Give Me Sympathy over and over again. Metric reminds me of my high school graduation three years ago.

After the show everyone was hungry, so we went to eat at a restaurant called El Solazo. I ate two tacos and an horchata. It was a great night. An awesome night. Exuberantly beautiful and exciting in every way.

P.S. I only have two sisters. My sister and my other sister I just didn't want to mention their names.

The Place Where I Was Born Tiny

I miss the place where I was born.

Next to the ocean.

Near the trees.

But to return.

To the place where I was born.

Beside the trees that sway.

Close to the breeze that never leaves.

Far.

Yet so close.

Yet so remote.

In my memories.

I wish on the day.

I will visit.

Go back to the place where I was born.

July

You are twenty-one.

One day, one hour.
You are forty.
The seconds were minutes, I know.

Everyday I wonder and ponder and sonder.
What is it that I want to do?
I really like math and writing, but which one a little bit more?
Can I do both for the rest of my life?
If I write will I wish I had chosen math?
What if I chose math and I forgot how to write?
Can I write in numbers?
Or solve math equations with words?
Where will I be in four years?
How faraway is four years?
I hope I am where I am meant to be.
I really do hope.
I wish that I am where I want to be.

How I Became Interested In Reading Books and Often

I still remember the first book I ever bought. It is called The Chocolate Touch.

I bought this book from the Scholastic Book Club flyers that my 3rd or 4th teacher passed out to the class. I remember that I bought the book when I was nine or tenth grade and I had never read a book in its entirety before. Since it is always really difficult for me to like a book instantly I kind of left The Chocolate Touch to the side for a while. Then, I believe I had nothing to do one day and I saw the book and picked it up and began to read. I remember most of the plot up to today and I wish to buy the book again because I lost it a long time ago. After The Chocolate Touch I didn't read much until sixth grade where it was mandatory to read to take tests to obtain points to reach a goal that the teachers set for all students. My goal was around twenty to thirty points with each book being three to five points or sometimes two. I had to reach these goals in half a year and for the other half of the year the points either stayed the same or increased. My points increased sometimes. In eight grade was when I became a compulsive reader. I indirectly challenged two other students that were big readers. I read books faster, but slow enough for me to take my time reading and this was when I discovered the world of Harry Potter. Harry Potter books were worth a lot of points and I needed fifty. During this time I read Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets along with books like The Chocolate War, Of Mice and Men, Night, and other books that I cannot remember right now.

I was happy with the award I received at the end of eighth grade. I thank the other two students who indirectly challenged me to read more. I wonder where they are now. I wonder what they are doing.

 When I entered high school I did not read as much, but after my freshman year in high school I kept reading Harry Potter during the summer to the point that I made my dad drive me downtown to Borders in the middle of the night to pick up Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows sometime in July 2007, and it came with a poster that I still have and will cherish forever.... and ever.

I like dark chocolate.

And walking alone on streets.

Where no one knows.

That I don't belong.

I received the best score I have ever gotten on a math test the other day

Fool vs. Cool

What is it like to be cool?

To be seen as more than a fool.

How much have flowers cried?

There is more,

just try.

Or if not.

But if yes.

Do not change.

If you do.

Marvel over the fact.

Flowers refuse to be picked

by someone cool.
They prefer to be picked by a fool.

Is it possible to be that smart?

What does it matter.

 To anyone.
Are you confused?
It was only a joke.
