HI!!!
I was surfing the web on MJ and Coldplay, and I came across this mashup of Beat It! and Viva La Vida. Have a listen. It's good.

Oh yeah. Also, for anyone who reads this blog, I'd like to know your opinions on the Coldplay - Satriani plagiarism case? Read about it here:

This and that and end of exams. AND OF COURSE THE COLDPLAY CONCERT <3
Oh, IT lab again, and bored again. Anna's playing N-Ball this time. you should play that too, it is fun. Exams are over, we have all our marks! Humanities, 37/38, Maths 7/8, Science, 6/6... I really can't bother to say all the rest. Anyways, I did well. By the way this is for my Humanities teacher who probably will read this because he was figuritively begging me to give him my blogspot URL. I gave him this one.
What else did I want to say? OH YES. Has anyone ever been to a Coldplay concert? GO. It's amazing, not only because of the music, but also because of the effects, lights, props, atmosphere and above all else Chris Martin. They give it the best feeling. I am not saying that only because I'm obsessed - anyone would think that. Even my father, who is no Coldplay fan, grudgingly admitted the one we went to in Abu Dhabi was truly amazing. The concert started at nine and it was a Saturday night before school on Sunday, but I really wouldn't have missed it for anything. The opening act, Mercury Rev, was okay. They started at eight or so. Everyone there, from the looks of it, was begging for Coldplay. The rain was pouring down by the time Mercury Rev was gone and it was freezing. My jacket wasn't waterproof, so it was soaked too, but I didn't mind, because I was at a Coldplay concert!! Come to think of it, I should've brought a better jacket. But who would expect rain in late March in a place where it rains once a decade, as Chris said? Anyways, Coldplay made a stunning entrance by bursting into Violet Hill without warning anyone. It was all dark, people were impatient, and all of a sudden - Was a long and dark December, Rooftops I remember, There was snow... White snow... it was way too cool. And even better, Guy was looking better than he normally did (if that is possible) and Chris' voice was amazing. And Jonny's hat looked like he'd just washed and ironed it. Too bad - it was probably soaked by the end ;). Will was doing amazingly as well. If amazingly is a word.
After singing Violet Hill, they stopped and said Hello to the crowd. They went on to perform some more. During In My Place, Jonny and Chris went out onto the B-Stage - the one connected to the stage but sticking into the crowd - and performed it. It's so sweet how they're best friends. When they were done with the B-Stage and a few more songs, they ran out onto the C-Stage - the one right in the middle - and sang, I think, Green Eyes and then Death Will Never Conquer, with Will singing. They then sand I'm A Believer and talked to the crowd. They were met by a staggeringly loud reply :) then Chris cracked a few jokes about Emirates Palace, the hotel, and about how it barely rains. And they went back to the stage.
They called a girl in the front whose birthday it was onto the stage. *Jealous Much.* He sang the Hardest Part for her. They also sang Viva La Vida and told us we were the best audience for being so enthusiastic and putting up with the rain at the same time. When they went off, people, including me, kept singing the 'oh oh ooooh oh oooooooooooh oh' of the background of Viva La Vida. So they came back for an encore. Twice. I don't remember what they closed with, but I think it was LiT. During LiTii, I collected the typical colourful butterflies they shoot out - paper ones of course. I caught them from mid-air, and still have them three months later :). And when we left, there was major traffic. It was funny. We finally left around midnight, and got back to Dubai where we live around three hours later. So, I reached at five and left at midnight - 7 hours - okay.
Well, the bell just rang and I have Humanities next! See you!!

Back here again. In a matter of hours.
I'm back in the IT lab. And guess what I just found out? About Coldplay again. Their song, the Scientist, will be featured on the New Moon soundtrack - POSSIBLY. Not confirmed yet. :) and sorry about any spelling mistakes or typos in these first two posts... like 'intrests.' I KNOW what it's supposed to be ;) 'interests'
Anyways. I just HAD to post about the coldplay track in New Moon (which, for those of you who dont know, is the sequel to Stephenie Meyer's Twilight) and now I have to go finish writing my C&S reflection...
BYE!!!

My First Post!!!
HI EVERYONE.
My old blog sorta died down, I hadn't checked it for ages. I even forgot the email adress I used to start it. So, I decided to start a new one.
I guess the blog's going to have anything about my intrests, what I've been doing, and what I want to do... just like a lot of others. So read it if you want. But before you start, I'm warning you, there will be a LOT of Coldplay and music stuff on here. I'm over obsessed. And there will be a LOT, because as my title says, I am very bored. Summer is starting, that's why.
Anyways, intrests also include... watching sports, like cricket, football (aka soccer. But I call it football) etc. And I love music. That's my number one hobby. I can play the guitar, piano, viola, cello, and I can play Mary Had A Little Lamb on the clarinet AND the trumpet. Own that. ;)
I'm good at school work, mostly top of the class. I enjoy playing on the computer. I read a lot, too. My favorite book is the Da Vinci Code. And right now, I'm sitting in IT class at school and typing this blog, because I've finished my work... at least I'm not the only one. Anna, on my right, is playing Spider Solitare, and Lauren, on my left, is looking at pictures of horses. Fun, right? Oh, look, now Anna is trying to play minesweeper. And Lauren is playing bubble struggle 2. It's actually a pretty good game. Try it: http://www.rebubbled.com/
Well. I think I'd better go. Bell is about to ring. Then I have to log off and go to Humanities. And Mr. D, out Humanities teacher, it pretty strict. The best teacher ever, and great person to talk to, but strict.
Next post coming soon - when I've finished with the homework.
:)
PS. In case you are wondering why there arent that many labels, I'm in a hurry. By the way, Coldplay will be tagged in every post. Almost. If not Coldplay, Maroon 5, Nickelback, Iron Maiden, REM or the Rolling Stones. Or someone.
