Welcome to Rockville Post one. (Photos and actual posts to come later.... this is just i don't even know)

This weekend is full of things to keep to myself, But i also have that if i don't write about it and photograph it i'll forget it all one day.... I need to get over this mentality. Because in reality it keeps me from enjoying the moment. I spent my weekend focusing on photos and how to write about it all that when it finally came time to write... I had nothing.

Nothing comes out but spurs of memories and moments from my weekend. Welcome to RockVille was so great. I am so happy to have survived it. Believe me it was brutal and i caught myself thinking if this is anything like hell, it might not be such a bad place to end up after all. The sun and heat was deadly. And the crowds were insane. But the bands oh they were so worth it. Although my dad tended to ruin the bigger bands for me by talking..... It was still such a breathtaking moment to see bands I've been listening to since i can remember. I actually wanted to cry because i was so mad Rob zombie didn't play dragula But he came back out and ended it with it. Which was just so aaaaahhh. I felt so infinite this weekend i'm having troubles being able to sum it all up into words.

I also cried during stained AGAIN, But this time because i've come so far since the first time i saw them. I'm not that selfish sad naive girl anymore. And I never ever want to see her again. She wasn't me. She was just lost and bands pulled her out of it. Honestly they did. I cried back then, I cried this weekend and i'll probably cry thinking about it if i ever see them again. It's just I can't say enough how grateful i am for my life. Or how far i've come, And how great this year has been for me..... gonna stop there.

I met some great people, Half of which i didn't even catch the names of. And the odds of ever seeing them again aren't in our favor. Which is fine. Although i wouldn't mind seeing them again.  I was talkative and happy. I'm starting to feel alive. Starting to feel like a different person. Or as if the older me i thought i'd never be again is coming back. Music is what is keeping me alive. The amounts of people surrounding me, The feelings, the sounds, the pains, the feeling when you're so dead and lifeless but the band comes on and in a second you feel nothing but the energy and happiness of everyone around you. The pain slips away and you're energetic and screaming at the top of your lungs. I Stay alive for those feelings.  By the time korn came on the second day my feet felt like i was walking on needles, my skin was stinging all over and i felt like passing out multiple times that day.... But as i stood there i gave them all i had left in me. Even if i was in the back. Even with my dad talking in my ear. Even with my best friend sitting down not caring at all. I wouldn't change it. I wish the feeling could be bottled up and saved for those melancholy days where i'm laying in bed wishing for sleep or for when i'm so annoyed with everyone around me.

Honestly the best part of the weekend was probably the ending.
 But an ending truly is just another beginning. The radio was blasting, So loud you could feel it in your bones.
I couldn't even care how dead i felt, or that my head was pounding. Or that traffic was horrible. Or that we were that loud car everyone including me always hates.
I sang anyway. I remember driving over the blue bridge wishing i could stand up sticking my arms and head out of the roof of the car.
I felt like my favorite book character Charlie from the perks of being a wall flower. I saw myself as him.
And for a moment i swore i knew how he felt when he said "I feel infinite".....

Are you ready for this! Finally a WelcomeToRockville post....! Probably the first of a few. So keep your eyes peeled.

As i sit here listening to Asking Alexandria I came to the realization i never posted about WTR oops. 

Believe it or not it all started with a bad attitude and a restless basically sleepless night.

 I thought once i got there things would change but sadly i was mistaken. It was my first concert "alone" pretty much i mean sure i had my dad and his friend there but they didn't help much if anything they just added to my bad mood and to the loneliness. It was a good day Great day even don't get me wrong but damn i wish it was better. 

once we got there and finally got in i was a little lost because the stages i was looking for weren't where i expected them to be, but i guess that's normal for a venue I've never been to before. It was actually a really nice well spaced out place, and both main stages were next to each other so it made it much easier to race to a good spot between set times. After getting into place for AA (asking Alexandria) I realized a band i had never heard of before would be going on before them. In this moment And to my surprise they were actually quite good. They've definitely Gained a new fan. And i got some good pictures so that's a plus!! 

Although i was eager for AA  to come on after seeing Danny peaking out from side stage i still really enjoyed in this moments set. AA was FANTASTIC i was close, got good shots, and even got to fan girl a little hehehe. Sadly i started to get extremely light headed and dizzy and it got to the point where i couldn't bear it any longer and had to get the hell out of there and quick... Which depressed me because they were my favorite of the day and i had really been enjoying finally getting to see one of my favorite bands live. My dad annoyed me a little after this happened but he bought me cheese fries and a snow cone which totally made up for it. Oh how he knows me all to well. He brought me things he knew i couldn't refuse...

Luckily for me after feeling better i had learned one of my friends was also there and i was able to find her THANK GOD because i was dying concerts kind of suck when alone and my bad mood just made it all worse... After meeting up with my friend they day got better and was enjoyable. Not that AA and all of the other things were bad or un enjoyable... things just got better once not alone. 

Seeing three day's grace without Adam kind of reeked havoc on my heart and soul. I don't like change all that much and believe me, That was a big BIG change. I hated it haaaaaaatttteeeeeeeeeeed it. But after getting home and researching/ watching live videos of Matt with 3dg (three day's grace) I realized that i was just butt hurt over everything and that Matt really was a good fit for the band. Even though it's a big change it's a good change i now believe. 

Okay Okay enough babbling...  

Here's a few of the pictures I've decided were good so far.
