If only we could sleep tonight...

The past week has been a big change for me.. more eventful things have happened to me in this one week then it probably will in the next 3 months time. For once this blog isn't a bleeding heart who has his keyboard equipped and his emotions running wild, this is a blog of change.

I paid $202 to see 'The Cure' last night.. and i would do it all again.. They were amazing. It truly is music that lasts through the ages. Was a good mixture of youth and the elderly.. i would give it a range of about 12 - 65 possibly +65. I was waiting for Shannyn at Gateways so she could meet me and we would trek it to the gig together. Here is how the txt's went.

Shannyn: 'hey liam, just txt us when your about 10minutes away from gateways and we will pick you up :)'

Me: 'wow, ironically enough i was just about to call you and say i was 10mintues away now'

Shannyn: 'well i can't pick you up yet cause my mum is out.. just sit tight and i will be there in ten'

Me: 'Ok no problems i will grab a bite to eat then before the gig'

Shannyn: 'Sounds plan :)'


I went to Red rooster and grabbed a meal for $7 bucks.. was muchly needed, i couldn't of lasted from the small amount of Nutri-grain i had for breakfast. I quickly ate it there and went back to cockburn train station. I sit there on a curb in my nice pants, afraid i was going to get white powder on them. I watched the cars go past, i vaguely knew what car i was looking for.. well i knew it was red. I ended up getting bored waiting. Half an Hour passed with numerous txt's saying 'be there soon'.. When shannyn is sending you txt's like that you know she has more then likely not even left the house :P

I got bored and txt luke. Luke and I have become really good friends as time's gone by. He seriously means the world to me, the kid has a heart of gold and a personality not many others can beat. As my friend Joshwa said," Liam i think you get love and genuinely nice guys mixed up." I agree and this was probably the case with Luke. But never-the-less luke has put up with my bullshit and I have moved on from that stage. Back to my story though..

I txt'd him to keep me occupied and see how he was going. I feel for the kid, he seems to be stuck in Pinjarra alot. There is alot of restraint on when and how he goes out. When i get my license it will be different though. I ended up getting bored and carving our names into the road beneath me with a pebble i found.

'Luke :)' and 'Liam ;)' i also tried doing a whole parking bay in squiggles until a 4WD rolled up.. it was security.. a lady at that. the sad thing was she was more tank then a checkpoint in IRAQ.

Security Lady: 'Having a draw are we?' she said ever so confidently

Me: 'yeah sorry.. i am bored i have been waiting here for hours.. im using a brick piece though so it will come off easy'

Security Lady: 'mmm'

Me: 'and there are no swearwords, if that matters'

Security Lady: 'No problems.. just dont let me see you doing it again ok :)'

Me: 'Ok sorry bout that'

I got sand and put it on the road.. the sand scratches off the carvings when you rub it against it.. i thought i would do the right thing and clean it up. i took a photo on my phone first though.


I had finally got picked up with shannyn and caught up on all the goss.. Her and david, how annoying the people at my old school are, how annoying these new bands are.. it was good. I feel like i have ignored my old friends now that i have been hanging around with Luke so much. I honestly dont want to, but its just the way things are at the moment. We stopped in the city. I was going to look for a gift to get luke for his Birthday, but all the shops were steadily closing. I just managed to get into boost. I have an idea of what to get him anyway.

We get to The Cure.. it was soo fucking cold im suprised i still have my 'appendages' left.. I was told i owuldn't need a jumper as it would be hot when we get inside.. they were right. the lighting was amazing. you could tell alot of effort went into the show. You could hear them doing a sound check a couple of hours before the gig. We were 2 rows from the barrier. You could feel the atmosphere rising. We were standing behind a stuck up UNI whore.. She happened to know everything about everything, like teenagers do i guess.

'I have only seen the Cure 5 times.. Robert Smiths mum remembers me.. i tried hugging him once he wasn't happy.. he has a personality dissorder..'

she kept talking to us like we honestly gave 2 shits. If there was a surge in the crowd i would of taken great pride in knowing she would of been one of the first to die from asphixiation. Thats a horrible thing to say but she gave away everything for us. She knew the setlist better then 'The Cure' did.. I had a moment during 'if only we could sleep tonight..' His vocals were amazing.. the backdrop was filled with psychadelic colours and the lighting was beautiful.. it was one of them moments were you stare in amazment by how great these people really are. I was dissapointed i didn't get to hear 'more then this'. The Uni whore told me they wouldn't play it. She was right about something. I went back to shannyns house after 4 and a half hours of constant standing.. i fell asleep on the 2 seater under a doggy quilt while shannyn was on msn..
