I go to Starbucks for the hot chocolate.

I'm sitting in the computer lab at school in Brooklyn. I can't wait to get home, but the thought of getting back on the subway so soon makes me ill. 45-minute ride squished in between people who are very often obnoxious or smelly - this is the time when I'm turning my Ipod up as loud as possible, and I daydream about being far away, in the middle of a concert in the summer, watching an amazing band (whichever one I happen to be listening to at the moment) performing in front of thousands of people.

I'm sitting next to a boy right now who has been sniffling his nose, snorting through his nose, for the past 5 minutes. As I said in my previous post, "The more people I meet, the more I like my dog" -- The quote is still ringing true.

It is January and I'm not supposed to be here on campus. However, because of the strike that happened in NYC right before Xmas, two of my finals were rescheduled, and here I am today. It's not that bad, not really, but the commute is almost two hours long...and now that it's getting colder, waiting for the bus for 20 minutes is not something I really look forward to.

But I'm being a whiner right now. I will, or should, be graduating by the end of this year (woo hoo!) And then I will ...::gulp::...be an adult. I mean, a real adult - After 23 years of life I will no longer be classified as a student. That's big, I think.

I think the only people who read my blog are the new people I have found on Pete Townshend's own blog, The Boy Who Heard Music. All of them seem a lot of fun, and hopefully I'll get to meet some of them in the summer at a Who show or two. --- But really, who am I kidding? I'm afraid I won't even get through on Ticketmaster when the tickets go on sale, and more importantly, I'm realizing ticket prices for good seats are definitely not going to come cheap. Well, I will figure something out! Never did I think I would fall in love with a band so quickly, and I feel like if I miss out on seeing them this year I won't ever get an opportunity to. Who knows when they'll go on tour after this.
The thing is, I need to see this man (see left!) rock out on stage. I don't care if he's 30, 45, 60, or 80! He's a pinball wiz....er, I mean, a guitar master, and really knows how to get an audience excited. I'm also now excited to see his brother, Simon, and Simon's band The Casbah Club, open the shows. After listening to some of their songs I think they are great! Their sound is so young...it's like they know exactly what people (of my generation) want to hear. I'm surprised they haven't been played all over American radio. They should be.


Anyway, I'm typing here just for the sake of writing, but I guess I should head for the subway now. Meh.
