Hello My Name Is...Tour @ Czar!!

Okay so for those of you who didn't know. Willam Beckett and Adam T. Siska from The Academy Is.. and two members of The Cab are doing an acoustic tour. It's sponsered by Hot Topic so usally the shows are there, but along the way they've added a couple of local music venues in different states.
Well it just so happens that they added a place called Czar which happens to be in Ybor City which conviniently happens to be 3 mins from where I live. Sooo I was pumped needless to say. The show was last night so here's the skinny.Mom dropped me off, she was going to come along but I was able to bum a ride home with my good friend Morgan. So I'm waiting in line alone when a small group asks me to take their picture, which I happily agree to do. And yes, they were drunk except for the youngest girl named Alina who was 14. So as we're all waiting, the two girls and guy ask me to watch Alina as they go to get some drinks. Haha. So I chat it up with my new friend. The show was supposed to start at 7 but it's running late even though the line would move from time to time. I think some people might have left.So we get like halfway to the doors when Alina's sister and friends come back...pretty drunk. But extremely nice! They were from Orlando so they didn't know much about Ybor.We talk and they told me I was cute and talked about my shortness which I didn't mind. Haha, they said I made them feel like models. They were really pretty. But they were like "Are you alone?" I and said "Yeah" and they said "Well you hang out with us, now you're not alone!" I love nice people!Eventually Morgan showed up with with Tyler her boyfriend and Matt. I intrduced them to my new friends Alina, Christina, Reva and Scott. After more waiting they went off to go find a bathroom. While were in line, I kept seeing some guy walking around with no shoes and some dude in a bright orange skirt...LOL! Alina was like "What the heck is going on?"
And also I kept noticing this one guy who looked really really familiar. I kept asking myself "Is that the guy from VersaEmerge?" and then I was like "nahh" because the people in line weren't like attacking him. But then I saw the lead female singer Sierra! And then I was like "OMG they are from VersaEmerge!!"In case you didn't know, VersaEmerge just got signed with Fueled By Ramen.So as I'm becoming more star-struck as time goes by, a guy who works at Czar comes up and yells that everyone over 21 needs to pull out their ids and everyone else needs to get their hands marked. I held out my hands and got my underage sharpie marks(I still have them, sharpie is hard to wash off!) and they finally let us in! I said by to my new friend Christina because she had to wait for her friends and went in. Best $10 spent ever! Czar is amazing inside, and I didn't think to take any pictures of it! Buuut I was soooooo close to the stage! I could like reach out and touch the singers.
So we're waiting for the show to start and I'm talking with Morgan and I tell her about the two people from VersaEmerge and Morgan's all like "Go and talk with them!" And being the shy person that I am, I'm like "No no..it's fine, I got to see them and that's what counts". But of course Morgan is pushy when I'm being shy (( and I thank her for that with my whole heart!)) So she convinces me to give her the sharpie I'm carrying and the piece of paper in my purse and she goes and gets them to sign it. So she's comes back with my paper that says "Kianni, You DA Bomb!" and she's all like "Dude they are soooo nice! You have to go and talk to them!" and after she told me what she told them "I have this friend who's really really shy but would love your autograph" and some convincing she got me to go and talk with them and I even got my picture with them! Here's how it went:
Me: "Hi! Can I get a picture with you guys?"
Blake & Sierra: "Sure!" "Of course!" * climb up the stairs*
Sierra: "I like your bow!"
Me: "Oh, thank you!!" *We take the picture*
Me: "Thank you! I think you guys are awesome and I really like your music!"
Blake and Sierra: "Thank you! That means alot to us"
Me: "Yeah, ever since I heard the song you played for Youtube, I like fell in love"
Blake: "Oh The Grinch!"
Me: "Yeah! And you guys are from Florida to and that's awesome"
Sierra: "Yeah, I live in St. Pete"
Me: "That's cool, I live here in Tampa" *smile* "Well, thanks for the picture!"
Sierra and Blake: *smile* "No problem", "Your welcome!" "Thanks for listening!"
Now I'm really starstruck as I go back to my place. The Cab comes out and plays there set, they call out William Beckett and the crowd goes wild! Myself included. He looks exactly the same as he does in pictures, sometimes people don't...be he does! and so does Adam. Unfortunately I didn't any good pics of Sisky(adam).I took lots and lots of video because you can only take so many pics of someone standing there singing. William is soooo cute in person! And he talks soo cute too...lol I feel like such a fangirl. He tends to stutter when he speaks...aw! His girlfriend is definately one lucky girl.
I'll have pictures posted by Thursday and a link to my youtube if you feel like seeing the videos.We didn't stay to see The Woodwork, although now I wish Tyler didn't want to leave so early...I checked their myspace and their really good!So that was my amazing night out at Czar. I touched the tour bus and got some pictures of it too! LOL. I'm a dork, I know. Oh, and I totally missed seeing Mckenna there!! Grrr! She was there the whole time in line and in the place, but she was by the bar most of the time. And she was with Danny!!
*sigh* Next time my friend...next time...
So yeah, that was my awesome night...and now I need to get a liscence so that I can drive myself to shows and leave when I want.....haha. That's it for now. Love to all!

Peace

I <3 Mckenna

Worth A Thousand Words...

That's what they say about pictures...

Things That I Like...

Sooo, for those of you who ever wonder to yourself, "I wonder what are some things that Kianni likes", because I know all of you inquireing minds are just dying to know. Here's some pictures! I simply cannot live without chocolate! I get my sweet-tooth from my mother who got it from my grandfather and so on. LOL. Chocolate was like a gift to women everywere. Yummy!
Twilight!! I know it's super popular and stuff, but I still love it. I discovered it back in 05 when it was first published and when nobody knew about it. I'm glad for Stephenie that it became a huge success...I'm just tired of seeing every girl and her mom calling herself "Mrs. Cullen" blah!
Oh, and for those of you who don't know what Twlight is...what rock have you been living under??

Music! I don't even know where to start! It has been such a big part of my life since I was very small. I always love,love,loved to sing, although I have been a shy person about it. I've been in tons of plays and choir concerts and what not. I listen to music 24-7, and I think I would die without my iPod. There's so many good bands out there these days too! Let's strike up a conversation!

The Beach!!

I always tell people that I should have been born a fish, that is how much I love the water. The Little Mermaid was one of my first Disney movies and I think this has something to account to my love of the sea. When I went to the Bahamas, I didn't want to leave. I always wonder why our water can't be as blue as it is there...it just isn't fair y'know. Oh, and sunset walks on the beach, no matter how played out they are, too me they will never stop being romantic.

Sunsets.

Those have got to be the best part of the day. The skies are always sooo beautiful and it's like the ending of book...or the begining of a new one. The moment right after the sun goes down, right before the moon comes out has got to be my absolute favorite. I love to bring out my camera and just shoot away. Sunrises are really good to, but I've only stayed up to see a sunrise a couple of times before.

VW Bugs!

My dream car! Hopefully whenever I get my freakin liscence, I can save up enough money and get myself one of these babies. Then I can be like, "Punchbuggy no punch back!"

So I think that's about it for right now. These are a few of my favorite things at the moment. Incase you were bored and felt like reading it.

I'm currently job-hunting at the moment. I got a reference number from the new Ikea that's opening up and that means their reveiwing the applications and they might set up an interview with me. So fingers crossed!

Uhm, tommrow is youth group, maybe I'll take some pictures of my little buddies and post them up. I volunteered to set up a blog for the youth group and stuff, so I need to talk to Tara B. and see how I get one that everyone can share.

Well, I'd better prepare for bed. Love you all!

Peace.

Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (book)

Okay this was a really, really, really good book. I mean once you get past all the use of the F-word and what not, it was actually pretty deep. It had some great music reference too!
Wilco, Ryan Adams, The Beatles, Belle and Sebastian...gosh the list goes on and on.
I think I might just have to read this book again!

This is going to be a short one, I'm going to be re-reading Nick and Norah and post some of my favorite passages.

Peace

Heavy and Light

So I couldn't make it to Orlando to To Write Love On Her Arms concert called Heavy and Light buuutt they have a live feed streaming online so I'm getting to watch it live!
I wish I could be there in person because it's so amazing and speaking to me. Even through my computer, the words that people are speaking are enlightening me.
I think one of the things that really stands out to me is one simple phrase: You are Not Alone. It's so easy to think that...and yet so untrue! Everyday...every evening all around the world. Someone is going through something too, someone is haveing a bad day...someone is having a good day.
Some of the people that performed were Jon Foreman of Switchfoot and Aaron Gillsepie of Underoath and The Almost. They sang christian songs and talked about God and how Jesus loves you and everything! I hope that their message touched every single one of the people watching, because it certainly touched my heart. If you don't know about TWLOHA, I suggest you go and check them out. They are an amazing non-profit organization based in Cocoa, FL and they're willing to talk with people for hours and help in any way they can. Things like this really make me see that there's still good people in this world.
I just wanted to share that. TWLOHA is definately one of my favorite organizations now and always.
Another post coming later tonight because I know I won't be able to sleep.

Peace

Pictures and Video from The Bunker!

Okay so I know the pictures are only of Matt. It's only because I had a little room left on my memory card because I forgot to clean it out and my battery was dying too. Sooo I was working with limited rescorces.

But anyone who hasn't been to the Bunker should definately go, because it's super cool.

A Good Day Musically...

Today was a good day. Had to do with alot of music stuffage actually...sorta.

First at work I met the new girl named Erin. Really sweet, kinda sad that I only have one more week left at Oilily before I'm job-hunting once again. It was an extremly slow day but we did alot considering.
While I was on my break, I went to go visit my friend Matthew when I see Travis from the band We The Kings, his girlfriend Sasha, and some random dude walk past me.
I freeze and then stalk them into Hot Topic. I talk to my friend Bobby that works there and then I tell him...more like whisper. "That's the lead singer for We the Kings!" and he's like "Nuh uh!" and I'm like "Yeah-huh!"
So after grabbing him just before they shimmy out the door, Bobby's like,"Are you from We the Kings??" and Travis says,"Yes I am". They all introduce themselves except me because I'm super super shy and I just....stare. LoL...like in that creepy lurker type of way.
After they leave I stay and chat for awhile and then head back to Oilily when none other than Travis and Sasha walk past me again!
Me: *stare*"............."
Travis: ".............."*stare back*
We kept walking...lol, I really have to stop being so shy!

Then tonight was a show from none other than the awesome Matt Hires at The Bunker in Ybor City! It was loads of fun and I got to catch up with some old friends I haven't seen in some time.
Needless to say, Ashley Beale is awesome because I can talk to her so easily when I see her and she reads my blog! She gets extra brownie points! Hahaha. If your reading this now Ash, I love you!
But anyways, hearing Matt perform after so long was really awesome. And being surrouded by awesome people in a super awesome place with good vibes radiating from every corner was just really good for me. It's something I really needed right about now. I'll post up the pictures and a couple of short videos I took tommrow.
So that's it for now. I'll definately have another post tommrow whilst job-hunting online. I got some good tips like IKEA and Progressive. Should be interesting.
Leave me comments..they make my day. I want to know people are reading...or even just say Hi...really.

Peace.

In A Funky Mood pt.2

Apparently the shower is a really good place to get some good thinking done.
I try to tell myself, "Stop thinking so much" because really I do. I think and worry way too much.
It's getting really bad.

I need to stop thinking so much.

In A Funk...

Happy New Year!! I hope everyone had a safe and fun night. I stayed home with Mom and Abuela. Not that I really wanted to...but you kinda have to go by what mother says when you can't drive a car. So we watched movies and Dick Clark's New Years Rockin Eve. We watched the ball drop in NY, drank champagne when 12 am came around. I danced! It's amazing how...uninhibited one can become after consuming a couple glasses of champagne...but I digress.
I've made a stern promise to make this year really count. 2008 now that I think about it was such a waste and I really didn't do anything productive with my life. I don't even know if I'm still registered at HCC. There's so many crazy things that happened at the end of this year that was just totally blew me for a loop.
I lost a best friend, but gained a new one.
Got my permit but have yet to get my liscence...ugh...so many other things I care not to name just because it would be such a long list of things to explain later on. Does that make any sense. But really, I'm starting fresh, I'm going to make 2009 the best year yet. I think this Tuesday I'm going to have my mom take me to the hospital so I can apply for a job. Hopefully they have some openings.
Tonight I'm giong to make a wish on 11:11. Have any of you ever done that? If you catch it, your allowed to make a wish and hope it comes true. Night after night I would sit up and wish for the same thing...never really came true..but I'm not going to stop.
Okay so on to resolutions. Mine arrrrre:
Get into school
Get a new job
Get my liscene
Live life alittle crazy and not hang in the background so much.
Dye peices of my hair purple
Not be shy to talk to guys.
Whooo that's a long list huh? I'm not sure if I can do it all but I really am going to try. I'm sick of seeing all my friends do the things I want to do. But I guess I have no one to blame buy myself. I basically put myself into this prediciment.
I really don't know the first place to start looking for a job. My mom wants me to get an office job but I'm really more of hands on type of person....I dread office jobs..really...especially filing and what not.
Okay so now I feel like I'm just repeating myself again and again. Please let me know. I really want to make this blog more interesting. I don't really know how though. I see such cool blogs with neat layouts and people taking really artistic pictures...but I just dont know how to do that.
I've started writing poetry again....but I'm not ready to post it up here just yet. If you're really intersted in reading it though, try going to Mondayeyes on Buzznet.com and see if you can find one of mine. $10 bucks to the winner.
Well, I have church in the the A.M. and I have yet to take a shower and get comfortable. I bid you all a pleasant evening. Stay safe if you'll be going out tonight. Remember....someone out there loves you.
Peace.

This is my favorite time of the day.

I feel like there's this veil in front of me. And I just need to peirce throught it.
