BFD 2012.

This past weekend, I went to BFD again. Honestly guys, BFD is spectacular because you pay like 40 dollars and get to see an abundance of bands. Most other festivals make you save the whole year to go and you barely get to see everyone on the lineup. At BFD I always get to see everyone I want to see. Last year I got to see some of the finest bands and this year was no exception. I saw several bands, but I'm only going to talk about the ones that really made an impact on me. I already mentioned in my last post about seeing Geographer. They were the first band I saw and as I've said before and will say again, they were "mind-blowingly" marvelous. I always love when a band uses a groovy (yeah I just used that word) instrument. In Geographer's case, they use the cello.  Geographer had a very laid back and relaxed feel. After Geographer, I saw Grouplove which had the completely opposite effect.


I had heard a few of Grouplove's songs beforehand and liked them. I didn't love them like I did Geographer. However, after their amazing performance I changed my mind. The presence this band has is incredible. The minute they stepped on stage I was screaming my head off. The whole entire band was jumping, dancing, and anything else to convey the joy they were feeling while performing. I felt the love they have for their music, which I don't see that often from people. Hannah Hooper is one of the lead singers and my new girl crush. This woman is crazy cool. I've never seen anyone dance as hard as she did and have a smile on the whole time. Her dancing made me dance and I wondered if I could ever be as cool as her? Also to add the cherry on top she has amazing style. She wore a white lace dress and spiked boots. Now if that doesn't equal awesome, I don't know what the hell does.

The Naked and Famous were on the main stage and we had lawn seats so it really affected my ability to fully enjoy them. I couldn't get that amazing feeling you get from being a few feet away from the band. The lead singer's, Alisa, vocals are bananas. They sound exactly the same live as online. I'm not writing much, but seriously I was so far away I couldn't get much else besides the fact that they are awesome and Alisa is super cute. I have a new goal of seeing the Naked and Famous in a smaller venue, so I can fully enjoy their phenomenal music.
Can't wait for BFD next year!!

An island of inconsolable misery.

Every breathe I have is cold.
The warmth of this life has left me.
Stranded on a island of inconsolable misery.

There is only one true escape.
Where the darkness turns to light.
The suffering will only stop then.

I know this post seems really dark, but I just wanted to do a shoot that was different and shake things up. I got my inspiration from the song Make Me Wanna Die by The Pretty Reckless. Also just a side note, my little sister took these pictures and she's not even in high school! She's so talented and loves The Pretty Reckless, so she completely understood how I wanted the pictures to look like.

My Mind Keeps Spinning Closer And Closer To The Rain On The Roof.

Hello everyone! So today I tried to do a proper photo shoot, but it started to rain like crazy! So that ruined my plans, but couldn't help but take some photos... especially of my new awesome feather necklace which I freaking love! =) Put on some Mike Posner and enjoyed the rainy day painting my nails. -A

P.S Waka Flocka Flame has now made me end rain, rain, go away with that's what all my haters say.
