Reignited


Now Playing : "Faint" - Linkin Park

I am guilty.

...of watching Transformers again for the second time last night. *wink* So sue me! The movie has got to be in the Top 3 most awesome movies I've watch this year thus far! The only other movie that I can recall being so good was Perfume. Butbutbut...I'm not here to talk about movies nor Transformers this time. 

Jules, remember we thought that Michael Bay's use of Linkin Park's "What I've Done" at the ending was somewhat of a balloon popper? Well, after watching it for the second time, I did not get that feeling at all. Infact, for some reason, it went out with a perfect bang! In turn, it reignited my passion for Linkin Park!! Woooooot!

Ahhh...during my teen years, LP was the greatest band on earth (BSB of course, is a totally different story :P). Their music holds so many memories for me, it's crazy! I remember my group of buddies (at that time, all males) would come over to my house and spend the afternoon infront of the stereo just listening to Hybrid Theory! The guys would be at random, screaming "craaaaaaawwwlliiiiiiing in myy skiiiiiiiin!!" complete with air guitar movements and that screwed up face look of Chester Bennington's! *haha!*--though Crawling has got to be my least favorite LP song...because ex loved it. :) LP of course, also spawned the myriad of guys who tried to rap like Mike Shinoda. I think my friend M.H still does that...infact, he goes to great pains to look like Mr.S! 

Then LP graced our shores with their presence, the concert was the hugest there ever was (attended by somewhere in the league of 27 000 people) it was the best thing since sliced bread--or at least until Muse came along with their concert! Yours truly had sung, screamed, shouted, yelled at the concert until her vocal chords were ffzzztt!! I had jumped around, and flung my arms all over the place so much that the next day I couldn't move! The funniest part about the whole concert was that while I went with my two godbrothers Daryl and Eric, I ended up being separated from them and spent it with another girl who also got separated from her friends!! I never found out her name though! 

It's been a long while since I've done so much as listened to an LP song (with the exception of Faint since that's an awesome song) and now this morning, I'm listening to nothing but Linkin Park, rekindling the old memories. Ahhhhh....! Thanks to Transformers, a download of What I've Done is underway and perhaps one of these days, should I feel like parting with my cash, I might just pick up Minutes to Midnight and add it to my LP collection...*wink*

It was a bit of a popper because of how the ending was kinda a let-down too, after the explosive beginning and power packed middle. It's like a big shaggy dog with a small wrinkled up tail because I thought that the ending was a teeny bit disappointing.

Don't get me wrong though... I LOVE LINKIN PARK! And I've loved the song "What I've Done" after the first few times of listening to it when the single came out! LP ROCKS!
