July: Concert Month
July 15th: Coldplay at the Forum
Amazing show. Coldplay never disappoints. They gave a great set for an hour and a half. Most of it was from the latest 3 albums. I wish they played more from Parachutes, but I guess it's a little old for what the tour is for right now. Highlights of the night....impromtu Yellow acoustic set in the nosebleed section, Chris Martin fucking up some of the lyrics and overall, the entire show was a highlight. If you're a Coldplay fan, try to get out and see them live...well worth it.
July 19th: HARD music fest
It was an interesting night to say the least. It was me and 5 girls....story of my life, =P. Anyways, it was me, Sha, Alia, Loe and Juls. We met at Alia's and head out to the Shrine. Called a cab to go to the Shrine and man, the cab driver was sketchy! Small, old Asian dude that drives all herky jerky. Sha was about to throw up, ha.
After the crazy cab ride, we went into the Shrine VIP status and started to load up at the open bar. By midnight...Sha and Loe were gone. Plus, the two of them lost their crackberrys. As for the music...highlights of the night were NERD and MSTRKRFT. It was a good night of music besides the fact that there were too many kids there and rolling out of the minds. No hate to any ravers or whatnot, but young teens are just annoying.
Coming soon, Paramore July 30th.

The Pursuit of Happiness
It's one of those odd questions or statements that people tend to throw around these days, but in my case, the pursuit is happiness is more of a reality now.
One word: work. Have you ever had the feeling that work is not satisfying any of your mental, physical and or emotional needs? For me, none of these things are met. Everyday is a drag for me to get out of bed to come to a place and I've grown to hate. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate my co-workers...some of them are pretty cool. It's just the management here that sucks major balls. If work was about keeping your employees happy, well, they're doing a terrible job.
If you're reading this, you might be thinking "wow, Danny is complaining like a little bitch right now." Well, that fact is....yeah, I am complaining, but you would be doing the same if you were at a place where you don't want to be 5 days out of the week. If the pay was different, maybe i would be singing a different tune, but in this case, I don't know if there is enough money for me to like it here.
What I'm trying to say is, please do something that YOU want to do and not just because it's a job and it pays well. I know it's easy to say because most, if not all of us, have bills to pay and other responsibilities that need some type of monetary action. As cliche as it sounds, please follow your heart when it comes to work and anything else and then, maybe, the pursuit will finally end.
El Fin.

LA to NY Day Uno
It's been a minute since I updated this blog. Busy on a trip to NYC. The trip was amazing. Linked up w/ Peter, Scar, Rany and Pete during the trip. Met Peter's and Scar's friends...I must say, they're a good bunch of peeps. Too much to say about the trip, so I'll let some photos do the job. Enjoy.
