ooc: Sunday was probably the second best day of my highschool life. I consider music a big part of life, and seeing Dir en Grey was like a dream come true (again!) They're from Japan (yeah, I /don't/ know what they're saying, but it's called translations, and their music deals with a lot of issues, such as abortion.) so it's a big deal that they're touring for the second time in America. The concert was great, and my story is all true. I left out a few minor details, such as I got a guitar pick that one of the guitarists threw out to the crowd. ((: I also bought a tour shirt, and a shirt from the first band that played. I don't suggest Google-ing Dir en Grey, as you'll find pictures of their old image. They used to be VK (a visual band, often times dressing WAAAY out of norm) but they have moved on from that look. Their music is very hardcore, and for first listeners, might be a little frightening, which is why I also do NOT suggest looking for a music video. One song that I do recommend for first time listeners would be The Final, or maybe Yokan. But, if you're bold and daring, you might give Mazohyst of Decadence a try, or maybe Obscure. My title comes from Clever Sleazoid, which, if you listen to, might think it's in Japanese. It's in English. The lead singer (Kyo) has, I must say, HORRIBLE English. The lyrics are a little out there, but I believe he's trying to get out that this is who he is, not some wannabe, and whether or not you believe him is all up to you because he doesn't feel the need to prove himself.

So that was one big thing I did this Mardi Gras break....the other big things were: Going to Nathan's for an awesome little party, and going to the parade and just walking alllll over Lake Charles, and bowling today. I had a lot of fun this break, and am wondering why they haven't been doing this every school year. Yay for two day week! ((:
