On the iPod Today: Tighten Up by The Black Keys

I'm loving this song right now and can't get enough of it. And the video is super cute too with true love all around! Enjoy and Happy Friday!

I wanted love, I needed love,
Most of all, most of all
Someone said true love was dead
And I'm bound to fall, bound to fall
For you
Oh, what can I do?
Yeah

Take my badge but my heart remains
Lovin' you, baby child
Tighten up on your reins
You're runnin' wild, runnin' wild
It's true

Sick for days,
So many ways
I'm achin' now,
'M achin' now
It's times like these I need relief
Please show me how,
Oh show me how
To get right,
Yes outta sight

When I was young and moving fast
Nothing slowed me down,
Oh slowed me down
Now I let the others pass
I've come around,
Oh come around
'Cause I've found

Living just to keep going
Going just to be sane
All the while live knowing
Such a shame

I don't need to get steady
I know just how I feel
Telling you to be ready
My dear

#51 DZP: Go to a Concert

If you remember back on my post about this concert, you could tell I was stoked for Oct 8th to come!

So yeah: Daniel, Brian, Alex, & I went to go see Maroon 5 at the Greek Theatre in LA! 

I had a blast even though Bruno Mars wasn't there (yes, that's right... he ditched this concert for some reason...) I ended up with a lot of good dreams under my pillow from that night! Now if only I brought my good camera, but glad the iPhone worked out!

LHHS Band Camp 2010

I know I've been "MIA" from the blogging world for a while now, and here's the reason:

Laguna Hills High School Band Camp

('nough said right?)

For those who might not know what band camp is all about (besides what American Pie has told you about it) Laguna's band camp is two weeks long, a couple weeks before school starts. Every student who is in the band, percussion, and color guard come together 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. This is where the freshmen learn the basics and all the skills they'll need to help their core succeed and win top places at tournaments/competitions. Us instructors also begin teaching their field show and introducing the freshmen to the world of the football fields... and yes, everyday us instructors had to kick the football players off the field during our scheduled rehearsal. Not only is this hard work (on everybody including us staff), but it's a great bonding experience for the team and the whole band as a core.


So yes, I have the sports bra/tank top, sunglasses, flip flop, necklaces, and a faint sock tan from all the time we spent under that August sun. My car is full of empty SmartWater bottles, and wrappers from Subway and Togo's! (great lunch I know lol)

This fall year's color guard is 15 members (10 of them being freshmen). There isn't a better group of young ladies to work with. Yes they are high school crazies, and chatter-boxes, but they work extremely hard and they put up with my crap!


Now the unfortunate part of this years BC was that Annette (head instructor for our guard) was going to be on vacation for the most part of it. So 5 out of the 9 day "boot camp" I was to teach (keep in line) the girls. It was hard work doing it alone, but I made it work!


The best (and most rewarding) part of BC is the "Parent Performance" on the last day. This mini performance is just to show the student's family and friends what they've been working so hard on for the past two weeks. After the show, the Band Boosters put together a giant potluck for everyone to eat, which itself is pretty awesome.

I think it's going to be a great season for everyone, and I know those girls will do great!!

On the iPod today... Misery

Ohh Adam Levine, I would love to kick the shit out of you while nibbling on your earlobe... any day!

Oh yeah
Oh yeah
So scared of breaking it
But you won't let it bend
And I wrote two hundred letters
I won't ever send
Somehow it is cut so much
Deeper then they seem
You'd rather cover up
I'd rather let them be
So let me be
And I'll set you free

I am in misery
There ain't no other
Who can comfort me
Why won't you answer me?
Your silence is slowly killing me
Girl you really got me bad
You really got me bad
I'm gonna get you back
Gonna get you back

Your salty skin and how
It mixes in with mine
The way it feels to be
Completely intertwined
It's not that I didn't care
It's that I didn't know
It's not what I didn't feel,
It's what I didn't show
So let me be
And I'll set you free

I am in misery
There ain't no other
Who can comfort me
Why won't you answer me?
Your silence is slowly killing me
Girl you really got me bad
You really got me bad
I'm gonna get you back
Gonna get you back

Say your faith is shaken
You may be mistaken
You keep me wide awake and
Waiting for the sun
I'm desperate and confused
So far away from you
I'm getting here
Don't care where I have to go

Why do you do what you do to me, yeah
Why won't you answer me, answer me yeah
Why do you do what you do to me yeah
Why won't you answer me, answer me yeah

I am in misery
There ain't no other
Who can comfort me
Why won't you answer me?
Your silence is slowly killing me
Girl you really got me bad
You really got me bad
I'm gonna get you back
Gonna get you back

Maroon 5 @ The Greek Theatre!

Official site of The Greek Theatre - Maroon 5

Maroon 5 takes their 2010 ‘Hands All Over’ tour to The Greek Theatre, LA on Friday, October 8 following the release of the band’s third studio album, Hands All Over, out September 21st. Joining Maroon 5 for their Greek Theatre date will be Bruno Mars and pop rockers OneRepublic. (all of them are sex on a stick if I might add *drool*)

I'm sooooo stoked!!!

Produced by rock studio legend Robert John "Mutt" Lange (AC/DC, Def Leppard, The Cars), Hands All Over is a killer hybrid of rock, pop, funk and R&B. In addition, the band’s first single “Misery,” which was released on June 22nd, debuted in the Top 40!

Starting with the hard-rocking title track, the album’s 15 tracks take several intoxicating twists and turns including such compositions as “Out of Goodbyes,” a stunning country ballad infused with musical and vocal contributions from Nashville chart-toppers Lady Antebellum. Long-time fans will get a thrill out of the single “Misery,” with its funky guitars and high-stepping melody, as well as the propulsive “Stutter,” melody rich “Give A Little More” and “Don’t Know Much About That,” which professes a classic soulful vibe.

October 8th can't come fast enough!!!
