Concerts FTW!

\"PC060374\"

So last weekend and parts of this week have been insanely busy!  I had consigned myself to *not* going to the Metallica concert since no one else I knew was going and tickets were seemingly impossible to obtain and expensive, or so I thought…  Friday night I was at a benefit concert for my friends rescue.  That\’s when the deafness started, it was a heavy metal/punk indie show that consisted of several bands most of which were really good.  Needless to say I was impressed with the quality of some of the music.

Then Saturday I  helped deliver a wedding cake, trekked around the F1 track and went to a thank you BBQ @ Jackie\’s house with Jen & Clint which was nice.  I also got a new kitty, his name was tou-tou but has since been changed to Xavier and he\’s quite the handful but seems to be a happy kitty overall.

\"My\"my\"Wedding The Saturday when I got home from Beaconsfield I get a call from Krystal freaking out because she found a contact scalper for metallica tickets for $150.00 YAY!  We had AMAZING seats!  We were 3rd row from the floor which was really like having front row tickets because the first 2 rows in front of us were blocked off since we were in front of the sound stage.  Metallica KILLED IT!  They were AMAZING!  I have been DYING to go to one of their shows forever and I finally got to see them live!  Since the tickets were only $50.00 more then retail and I scored mine 6 hours before showtime it was a pretty sweet deal!

\"Metallica!\"

So after Metallica Sunday night I was pretty much deaf & dead tired!  The show started at 7:00pm right on time and Metallica hit the stage at 9:15 & rocked it out til 11:15 and played a few songs from their new album and of course all their awesome old songs too!

Then on Monday I recovered from Metallica and on Tuesday night we went to see Manson.  Manson was sick and I think that affected the show overall.  Kudos to him for sticking it out and putting on the show in the first place but I have to say I was a tad dissapointed.  Granted I\’m not a huge Manson fan but we were on the floor for this one and there was long pauses between sets and the opening show die mannequin wasn\’t that great either…  Overall Manson was a whole lot of flash with some good tunes and overall put on a decent show.  I got sucked into the mosh pit in the front and made it to the front but for the most part I was about 6 people deep from the front of the stage.   I\’ll tell you, it was damn hard to get decent shots when your up to your armpits in people thrashing around and your camera is being pissy lol.\"PC060313\"

Sometimes I do nice things

Even though according to some people… Micheal *ahem* I\’m trashing my street cred I don\’t care. I never claimed not to be a nice, good all around decent person because I am. That however doesn\’t mean that I\’m STILL not totally badass (because I am) and I refuse to take shit from anyone. Anyway yesterday was the Beaconsfield pet fair and Reach for the stars rescue was there. Which most people should know is owned and operated by a friend of mine and I stand by her efforts 150%.   So in spite of the fact that I didn\’t go to bed until 4:30am I got up early and dragged my ass off to the west island and was hello kitty for the day.

Yes I dressed up as hello kitty.  Yeah we all know how much hello kitty rules but it was pretty warm yesterday and wearing 2 layers of plush over my jeans and t-shirt was equivalent to wearing my own personal sauna ALL day.  Made lots of little girls exceptionally happy, freaked out a few smaller children, as well as scared a dog.  Posed for lots of pictures, got attacked numerous times by small children who I couldn\’t really see since that mask is almost damn near impossible to see anything in.  I however managed not to step on anyone\’s animals or children and didn\’t kick any puppies.

It was an awesome day for the rescue since most people had dogs whereas we did too but we also had lots of kitties with us that were in dire need of forever homes and thankfully to the generosity of some kind people 7 cats and one dog are now out of foster care which is awesome!  I couldn\’t be more happier for Jackie\’s rescue since she works SO hard to make sure that those animals are taken care of and well loved!  Reach for the stars rescue is the ONLY foster based rescue that provides everything.  From the food, the litter, vet check ups, toys, blankets and the whole 9 yards!

Sooner as opposed to later I\’ll be building their website so that we can make a better effort to get the word out for fund-raising and such.  Which Jackie does a lot of from making her own jam from scratch, dinners, live shows and any other means that she can raise money to help them.  I think she\’s amazing, I have never met someone who gives so selflessly to others.  Most people are against adopting from rescues and various agency\’s because of the adoption fee\’s.  What most people don\’t take into consideration is the amount of money that goes into making sure that they\’re well loved and healthy BEFORE they become your new pet.

So on that note, once my business gets up and running, some proceeds will go to the rescue because I know for a fact that ALL the money she raises is put back into her rescue efforts and doesn\’t keep a cent for herself.  OK I\’m done pimping out the rescue for now 😉

Just goes to show you that those of us who are modified aren\’t bad people!

I also added another section to my links for suicide prevention because not a day goes by that I don\’t miss Jason <3

Hoodies rule my world…

So its been another one of those insanely busy crazy weeks YET again and once again I\’m poor…  Granted I didn\’t have to spend $130.00  at old navy on 3 new hoodies/2 shirts.  My black one was looking a little faded and dated so its perfect for wearing at work in the winter but not for wearing \”out\”.  Then I found a really cute red one to replace the one I used to have.   I parted ways with it because it was just too damn big.  Then I found a really cute green one and of course 2 absolutely adorable SO not my style shirts.  I should have paid of my visa ahem but c\’est la vie!  I\’m getting girlie-er by the minute,   and its freaking me out!  I mean really if you seen the new panties I bought anyone who truly knows me would think I was outta my mind!

Thankfully my days of working 9-4 are OVER!  That extra hour (well in my case 5) that I lost this summer per week really adds up!  So it\’ll take me a while to \”get back on track\” by no fault but my own of course.  So as of Monday I go back to working 9-5 and as of Wed I start going to McGill to get this dental hell of mine sorted out…  Which I will be paying out the ass for in more ways then one!  I have decided however to do some comparison shopping since I have a consultation with my private dentist on the 25th and then at McGill as well.  I have decided that anything that\’s *really* expensive I\’ll get done at McGill because its more cost effective.  Simple things like fillings and so on I\’ll go to my private dentist for.  Mostly because at McGill a filling might take up to 3 hours, yeah THREE HOURS, that sounds fun, what does a root canal take all day?  McGill\’s hours SUCK 9-5 just like my job and my private dentist is open until 9pm and on Saturday\’s.  So to go to McGill for something minor like a filling is hardly worth the money that I\’m going to loose in lost hours.   I\’ll loose money as opposed to saving it so I think I can strike a decent balance between the two.  I\’ve already discussed this with my private dentist and she didn\’t begrudge me for it, she knows that dental care is expensive.  So here\’s to hoping that Leon and Dr. F are harmonious with this situation…

Overall I\’ve had a pretty good week!  I got in touch with a friend that I hadn\’t seen in a while only to discover that her sister (also a friend of mine) is in the hospital which really sucks!  So I\’ve been in to see her as well because the hospital is a damn lonely place.  I still miss Jason each and every single day but it gets easier.  It still hasn\’t sunk in yet 100% but I know that it will and will most likely be at some really awkward moment but I\’ll cross that particular bridge if and when I come to it…
