Since Envy is one of the seven deadly sins, I can't really say that there is anything or anyone I envy. As much as I would like to be as beautiful as Georgia May Jagger, I can't say I envy her. She's beautiful, doesn't care what people think of her and she also earned her fame by modelling and not using her dad's last name. She didn't ride on her father's coat tails to fame. I basically can't say that I envy anyone or anything.

Day 27-Where You See Yourself 10 Years from Now
I'm not even sure how to answer this
https://never3nding.tumblr.com/post/2660644142/tumblr-30-day-challenge
Frankly, I am unsure how to answer this. I suppose the only thing I can say is that I hope to be at a job that I enjoy. I hope to see London at least. Japan is questionable only because I don't know much of the language and it would be expensive. Other than that, I'm not sure where I see myself in 10 years.

Day 24-If You Won the Lottery...
Here we go!
https://never3nding.tumblr.com/post/2660644142/tumblr-30-day-challenge
Donate to charity
-I'd donate to the ASPCA, because I love animals. I'd donate to Wounded Warriors because I deeply support the military. I'd donate to Alzheimer's Association because Alzheimer's Disease runs in my stepdad's family and it's what killed his aunt Rita. I'd donate to the Breast Cancer Foundation because I can't even begin to imagine the horror of getting the diagnosis of breast cancer. The horror of losing your hair or even having to have a mastectomy done.
Find a passion and go back to school
-If I could, I'd love to go to college or university for something. The only problem is that I have no passion for anything anymore. I used to have a passion for medicine, but my biological father drove that out of me by saying I was a failure in school, what makes anyone think I would be any better in medicine? No one would trust someone who can't pass a class in school. My mom and stepdad say that if I am destined to do something or have the talent for it, then I should pursue it. You can't go to school just for something you're interested in. You have to be destined to do that, have a talent for it and a strong passion for it.
Slight cosmetic surgery
-Nothing too major. Just mostly some sort of weight loss procedure, like that Coolsculpting that keeps getting advertised on TV. I would never modify my body in major ways, like breast augmentation or enlargement, lip fillers or any of that. The only reason I would want a weight loss thing like Coolsculpting is to help me lose a few pounds. I'm not fat, but I'm not skinny either. I'm curvy, but I do have problem areas with my midsection. But then again, what woman doesn't?

Take my family to Tahiti
-My mom and stepdad are in love with Tahiti. They have been there numerous times and they want to go back, but like most travelling experiences, Tahiti is expensive. You have to pay for most if not all your meals, drinks and other stuff unless you luck out with an all inclusive, which is rare in French Polynesia.
Travel
-I'd love to travel. London would be one place I'd go to because a good majority of the bands I listen to come from London, mostly Iron Maiden, Queen, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, The Clash, The Police, As Lions, Billy Idol. And the bands I listen to that don't come from London have gone to this city to record. Plus, I'd love to see an authentic soccer (football) game. Doesn't matter the team. If they are English, I'd love to see them play. I'd love to go to Australia because it's beautiful. Not now, with those raging wildfires. I'd love to visit Japan because I've been deeply interested in the culture since I was 13.

Benefits of Travelling
Besides seeing new destinations, studies show that travelling can good for your health!! YAY!! Now where's that suitcase?...…..
5.) Times you'll never forget
-Everyone looks forward to creating memories they'll never forget when travelling. You tend to change slightly by doing activities you never thought you'd do. You'll see beautiful landscapes and areas you never would have seen at home. You'll talk to people you never thought you'd ever meet
9.) Motivation!
-People will often say that when they return home from a long journey, their motivation is higher. You might learn things you want to try at home. These experiences will give you a new energy, a new sense of purpose
1.) It teaches you about the world
-Saint Augustine once said "The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page". Any university course can teach you about countries, but you can learn so much more about the traditions, culture of the country you visit. You can interact with the locals, who will, most likely, be more than happy to teach you about their ways of life
2.) You can learn about your homeland
-You can not only learn about a new culture, but you can also learn about your own homeland. You will notice unique cultural differences
3.) You can learn a lot about yourself
-It's been said that those who want to travel abroad want to "find themselves". You are given the chance to reflect on what it's like to be far from your home, what you feel about your homeland, how you feel about foreign people or what you do/don't know about the various places in the world.
4.) Tolerance is key!
-Everyone says that they are tolerant of everyone. But is that really true? You can often meet others who are different from you and that will teach you to be more accepting of people different from you and also more open
5.) Times you'll never forget
-Everyone looks forward to creating memories they'll never forget when travelling. You tend to change slightly by doing activities you never thought you'd do. You'll see beautiful landscapes and areas you never would have seen at home. You'll talk to people you never thought you'd ever meet
6.) Confidence and independence can be yours
-Travelling makes you feel more confident and independent. You realize that any situation can be mastered. You find out that you can survive without help from others. You realize you are stronger than you thought
7.) Knowledge is key!
-You can learn a lot through travelling. You can learn all sorts of things, such as a new recipe, find something pop culture-related you may never have known about, a new way of solving problems, a new mindset or more
8.) The language of travel
-Every country has its own language and dialects for different areas. Travelling can improve your language skills. If you go to a country where they speak the same language as you, you can learn some new local words and phrases only used there. If you go to a country that speaks a different language, you will learn even more about that language, especially if the local culture is what interests you and propelled you to go to that country in the first place
9.) Motivation!
-People will often say that when they return home from a long journey, their motivation is higher. You might learn things you want to try at home. These experiences will give you a new energy, a new sense of purpose
10.) Bragging rights
-Everyone loves to tell a good story about the places they've seen, the things they've done. With all this travelling, you can have a few good stories for the kids and grandkids. You can look back on life in your older years and realize that you have lived a full life, that your life was not in vain. You can be satisfied you have done so much. This will give you unlimited satisfaction and happiness

9 Annoying Things Friends Say When Returning from Travelling
We all have friends who brag about all the amazing things they did on their time away. Or they brag about how they met all sorts of interesting people, the amount of booze they drank or whatnot. Here are 9 annoying things friends may say when returning.
7.) "That reminds me of this one time in Argentina..."
-When someone asks you if you've ever been to a place, it's okay to say yes and tell them about it. It's a completely new thing to shoehorn your travel experiences into a conversation that has nothing to do with it.
1.) You haven't had coffee until you've drank it here!
-It's pretty much a known fact that each country brews coffee differently. It may not have been grown in the volcanic soils of Hawaii or passed through the digestive system of an Indonesian cat, but coffee is coffee none the less
2.) "That place was way too touristy for me"
-For starters, you want to say to them "WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU WERE?!?!?!" Every country has those locations considered too "touristy" but people still go to see them. It's amazing the things that come out of people's mouths
3.) I had the craziest night at the Full Moon Party
-For one thing, a lot of countries have parties to celebrate things that are important to them. For example, in springtime in Japan, when the cherry blossoms bloom and fall, parties are held to view them because it is considered a beautiful occasion. (I would go and see them like the locals) No one really cares about the drunken nightclub war stories you have.
4.) You have to see [insert famous landmark] when the sun is coming up.
-This is so typical it's pathetic. Not everyone wants to go to the same places for the same reasons as you. Everyone has those places in the world they want to see for reasons personal to them. So if you keep irritating people about seeing this place when the sun is coming up, you're going to find something being shoved where the sun doesn't shine!
5.) Travelling really changes your personality
-Travelling is different for everyone. Some consider backpacking through Europe to see the historical sights an eye opening experience, especially if you've never been out of the country before. Some consider drinking the bar dry in Riviera Maya, Mexico a legend to behold. It's not like travelling changes everyone. If it's your first time, last time or just a vacation somewhere, it can certainly open your eyes and make an impact
6.) It was time to unplug
-Yes, we all know we're just dying to post those pics on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or any other mindless drivel called social media. Funny, for someone who said they wanted to "unplug", those social media sites are seeing some high density from you...
7.) "That reminds me of this one time in Argentina..."
-When someone asks you if you've ever been to a place, it's okay to say yes and tell them about it. It's a completely new thing to shoehorn your travel experiences into a conversation that has nothing to do with it.
8.) You should be able to fit everything you own into a backpack
-First things first, consider where you are going. Some places are subject to radical changes in climate. You need to be prepared. A carry on and a suitcase should be sufficient. For example, if you plan on climbing Mt. Fuji in Japan during the spring and summer, you need to bring proper winter gear for climbing the mountain, such as winter clothes, winter coat, hat, gloves, VERY GOOD hiking shoes and proper summer and spring weather gear for when you come down. It's all down to knowing how the weather and climate is in the destination you're embarking to
9.) I'm glad I went when I did
-Here's a translation for this: "I had the best trip ever and you will never come close to that". Everyone has those one or two special destinations they want to see. They've been planning, saving and doing what they needed to prep themselves for that special day when they can embark. It does not reflect well on you when you basically brag about them not having as good a trip as you. Everyone travels to different places for different reasons. For some it's culture. For some it's religion. For some it's to see the sights. Do not take away the specialness of their dream destination(s) just because it doesn't compare to what you did. Not everyone aims to get completely London Blitzed on alcohol the whole time they are on vacation. Do not put someone down for wanting to go to a certain place in the world simply because you don't want to go there.

Day 21- Who Made You Who You Are Now
I can't really answer this. I don't know who made me who I am. All I can say is that I am constantly thinking negative of myself, I think I am ugly and worthless and not worthy of anyone's love except for my family.

Day 20-Things to Do Before You Die
Sort of like a bucket list
https://never3nding.tumblr.com/post/2660644142/tumblr-30-day-challenge
Fall in Love
-I wouldn't mind this. But I feel like my massive lack of self-confidence and self-esteem would push anyone away. Not only that, I have very massive trust issues and trust very few people. I have issues with opening up to people I don't know. I always try and find some common ground that me and the other person has in common, but if me and that person have nothing in common, why bother talking to them?
Go back to school
-I wouldn't mind going back to school if I knew something I was interested in and passionate about. My biological father drove all ideas and passions from my head. He told me and my sister that no matter how hard we worked toward something, it would never happen. Dreams are for suckers. That we would just be better off going the safe route and getting a regular job like everyone else and not bother with college. That we would never find a job in that market anyway. He also told us that if we couldn't do good in school, what good were we in college?
https://never3nding.tumblr.com/post/2660644142/tumblr-30-day-challenge
Meet someone famous
-I've already done this with Def Leppard. Me and my sister had meet-and-greet tickets to Def Leppard when they played here in Cincinnati, OH in May 2018. The photographer had to tell my sister to relax while I was standing next to Rick Savage, the bassist and trying not to blow a microchip. It was only when we were around the corner and out of earshot that we had our little freakouts about being near our favorite member of Def Leppard.
-I would love to meet Iron Maiden. I've seen countless interviews and they all seem like genuinely nice, down to earth guys with a lot of funny stories to tell. If you need evidence of this, watch Flight 666. I laughed at parts of that movie, such as when Adrian Smith is being interviewed in a t-shirt and towel around his waist and bare feet. Or when a crew member is being interviewed and in the background you see Bruce Dickinson in underwear and socks getting his stage clothes off a hanger. Plus, me and my sister both have favorites in the band. I like Dave Murray because I think he is still handsome and has a nice personality. My other favorite is Steve Harris because he's still handsome. My sister's single favorite is Dave Murray. She thinks he is so handsome for his age
-I wouldn't mind meeting Ritchie Blackmore. From this documentary I have seen and own on DVD about him, The Ritchie Blackmore Story, he does not seem arrogant as people have made him out to be. Opinionated? Yes. Demanding? Probably. He's probably demanding on himself, who knows. But he seems like a really sweet, nice, quiet guy who loves his privacy. I mean, imagine it. You're a musician in a really successful band. People are hounding you all the time. Yeah, you're going to want privacy. I read a book about him called Black Knight: Ritchie Blackmore by Jerry Bloom. It's a good book, but the person who wrote it seems to make Ritchie out to be almost like a bully, pulling pranks on people but getting bent out of shape when they turn the tables on him. And if that is how he really is, then okay, fine. I still think he's a cool guy. Although it would do him some good to learn about the values of monogamy, learning to stay with the one you love and not cheat. He seems to have finally learned that with his current music partner Candice Night. Plus, I've been a pretty big Deep Purple fan since high school and it was only after reading Black Knight: Ritchie Blackmore by Jerry Bloom that I discovered the band Rainbow and quickly became a fan of that band as well.
 |
| He looks very happy here. I'm happy for him. |
Travel the world
-I want to travel to see various places in the world. I want my sister right there with me. We had our fights and troubles when we were younger. What siblings don't fight? But we seem to have grown closer over the years and it seems like we're best friends who do everything together-concerts, tattoos, special events and vacations. I would take my sister on vacation with me. I would love to take her to London with me because she is a massive punk rock fan and what better place for a lover of all things punk to go than London? I also want to take her with me to Australia to sightsee. If I can or if she wants to, either one of us could buy tickets to an AFL (Australian Football League) game, known as Aussie Rules football. She loves this incredibly violent sport known to some as "kill the man with the ball". Any places she wants to go, I'm sure she'll ask me just as I would ask her.
-I wouldn't mind this. But I feel like my massive lack of self-confidence and self-esteem would push anyone away. Not only that, I have very massive trust issues and trust very few people. I have issues with opening up to people I don't know. I always try and find some common ground that me and the other person has in common, but if me and that person have nothing in common, why bother talking to them?

Day 19-3 Wishes
This will be hard
https://never3nding.tumblr.com/post/2660644142/tumblr-30-day-challenge
To be beautiful
-I wish I be more beautiful. If anything, I probably look like Georgia May Jagger's ugly sister. I have full lips, a very slight gap in my teeth and skin so fair it could probably burst into flame on a sunny day, despite the fact I lay out in the sun every summer. Not only that, but with the late hours I have been working, I can only eat a little something before having to go to bed, so I am basically starving myself and I am unable to work out because of the long hours
Travel
-I've been dreaming of travelling to London since I was 16. I am 29, so it's a long-running dream. I have the money saved up. It's all down to actually planning it. I just want to have enough vacation time from work to do so. Right now, at work, the only people who can take off are people with enough seniority. I have hardly any. Everyone else can start requesting time off on Jan. 18, after the first major holiday of the year, Martin Luther King Jr. Day. And even then we'll be working. Any major holidays-Christmas and Thanksgiving-are the ONLY days we get off work. All other holidays-Columbus Day, President's Day, Veteran's Day, Memorial Day, etc., we have to work our full 8+ hours. But, aside from that little rant (so sorry about that), I have dreamed of travelling to London and taking my sister with me. She loooooooooves punk rock and what better place for a lover of all things punk to go than London? Where it all started?
Front row tickets for me and my family to see a concert
-I would love to have front row tickets for me and my family to see a concert. The one band that I think would strike a particular emotional cord with my mom is Lynyrd Skynyrd. She has been a fan since she was a child. Her class song when she graduated high school was "Freed Bird". We were lucky enough to be able to take her to see Skynyrd recently. When they played "Free Bird" with late front man Ronnie Van Zant's hat on the microphone, my mom was in tears. I love when me or my sister can do something that special for someone we love. If we were able to get front row tickets to Skynyrd, I bet she would be in tears once more. But, unfortunately, the only downside is that getting front row tickets or anything near that is near impossible. I already had to play Beat the Clock to get tickets to Iron Maiden because the day they went on sale, I had a job interview. I was fighting to get tickets on my phone before the person interviewing me for the job came. And it turned out the two security guards nearby were doing the same thing, judging from them saying things like "Come on, Ticketmaster. Mama wants to see Maiden!"

Day 18-What Are You Most Worried About?
ALOT!!!
https://never3nding.tumblr.com/post/2660644142/tumblr-30-day-challenge
There are a lot of things I tend to worry about. Lately, it's been trying to find a new job. I've only been at this current job for about 8 months and already it's beginning to take an emotional and physical toll on me. I work 12-13 hours a day every day. I start work at 8:30 am and sometimes do not clock out of work until 8:30 pm, sometimes 9:00 pm. I hardly see my family, I hardly eat anything when I get home because it's too late. I've lost almost 8 pounds over the course of a month because I hardly eat and because of the stress, I feel like if I eat, it'll return with vengeance. I've been looking and applying, but have heard nothing. Most likely it's because of the holidays, which is fine. I just hope to hear something in the new year. My managers have the attitude that says "We don't care if you have a bus to catch, a family to see or look after or things to do. Work comes first. Everything else needs to wait". Because of that arrogant attitude, I WANT OUT! I actually thought about applying for a job near me, in Florence, Kentucky. Working at a music store called Willis Music. I would work in the warehouse and do things like filling orders and other warehouse work. I have all the skills necessary to complete the work except for music equipment knowledge. I am pretty knowledgeable about guitars, basses, certain types of amplifiers and keyboards/pianos. But other things I would have to be trained on. I applied for it and am waiting for a response. My family thinks I would be good. They told me I would take a major pay cut from $18/hour to about $13/hour, but I told them and they know that does not bother me. It's not worth getting $18 an hour if you have to nearly kill yourself from exhaustion to do it. I'm sure most if not all medical professionals would say it's inhuman to work these long hours with management this inconsiderate. Especially if you don't get to take regular breaks

22 Benefits of Seeing Live Concerts
I think I shall be investing my time in concerts!!
1. Moving Around and Dancing
-There is nothing more enjoyable than dancing and singing your favorite songs by your favorite band while seeing them live. You will sing every word at the top of your lungs and dance like no one is watching. The upside? Exercise! You'll be burning calories in no time! Studies show that you can burn 400+ calories dancing at concerts!!
2. Stress Reduction
-Everyone has stressors in their life. Those people or things that just make you mad and angry. Musical events such as concerts reduce the amount of cortisol, known as the "stress hormone" from being released. According to a study from Imperial College in London, 117 applicants for an experiment involving listening to wind instruments noted that their blood pressure, heart rate were lower, their breathing rate reduced, thus inducing a calm feeling
3. Mood changer
-Everyone loves live music events. Did you know this can uplift your mood? It can put a smile on your face listening to those classic rock or metal guitars, the pounding drums, that deep soulful sound of the bass and other instruments on stage
4. Come Together/Join Together
-Not to reference a Beatles or Who song, but going to concerts allows a feeling of togetherness. You and hundreds of other fans can join together to sing the songs. Everyone is there to see their favorite musician and nothing makes you feel more warm and fuzzy inside than knowing that everyone is there with the same level of dedication
5. Constant concerts
-You don't have to hang around the big name venues. There are always concerts in parks going on, concerts at small, intimate venues going on. Heck, there is usually even music coming from people busking on the street
6. Improve your well-being
-According to a study made by Deakin University in Australia in 2016, studies found that people who attended concerts regularly are happier in their every day lives. It improves their mental health and that people who attended concerts with a boyfriend/girlfriend had improved relationships
7. Discover new bands
-Odds are high that when you go to see a band perform, they are going to have at least 1-2 support acts on prior. These are invaluable because you can discover new music from there. There is an undying and unlimited amount of music out there, just waiting to find new fans. Each day a group of people somewhere are forming bands hoping to get found. Support acts are great because they might be similar to the band you're there to see but their own take on things. For example, if you go to see Led Zeppelin and they have Greta Van Fleet opening, that would be interesting. It would be old school Zeppelin with new school Zeppelin because Greta Van Fleet's front man sounds like Robert Plant. Or going to see Iron Maiden and the opening acts being As Lions/The Raven Age/Lauren Harris. You get legendary Iron Maiden with soon to be legendary The Raven Age (like Metallica only British and with more aggression in their music for those unfamiliar with the name), Lauren Harris (like Joan Jett except British and hard rock instead of punk), As Lions (very melodic metal)
-And what's even better is that if you attend a concert and you're an aspiring musician yourself, like a beginner bassist/drummer/guitarist/vocalist, you can do some research into the various types of equipment out there, like Fender Precision Bass guitars/Fender Stratocasters, Ludwig/Paiste/Pearl drums and cymbals, etc.
8. You're My Inspiration
-Not to be pun-y and quote a Chicago song, but sometimes concerts provide that extra little push of inspiration for some to take up an instrument, such as the bass, guitar, drums, vocals, keyboard, etc. If you've ever wanted to play an instrument, attend a concert and it might just give you that get up and go to start down the wonderful path to music!!
9. Nonstop energy
-The chemical for happiness is dopamine. When you go to a concert, that chemical is just flat out flooding your body. You get giddy, excited, you can feel goosebumps and a general electric feeling of excitement
10. Pain killer
-Not to quote a Judas Priest song, but studies show that concerts and live music events can produce an anesthetic effect on you, thus reducing pain. This works because the chemicals responsible for happiness, dopamine and endorphins, are released, thus blocking pain
11. Reflection
-When you hear a song on your music device or in your car, it will take you back to when you first heard that song
12. Appreciation
-We all have stressers in our life. Those concerts are not only for going to see your favorite musician, they are also a chance to just forget about life for a while and have fun
13. Meet and Greets
-Some bands do meet and greets. This is the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet your favorite musicians. Most if not all people would give their left arm to do so (I know I would with Judas Priest and Iron Maiden). Sometimes what makes it better is that if the band you are meeting and greeting has gotten you through some tough times in your life. Being able to get a photograph or an autograph from that musician is something you'll cherish forever!
14. Affordable Yet Fun
-While a vacation may be fun, it can also be expensive. So can a majority of concerts. Music festivals can also be expensive. You can have fun and check out local music events without destroying your bank account in the process
15. Meet new people
-Everywhere there are opportunities to meet new people. Concerts just so happen to be a big benefit for this one. When you're at a concert, you are surrounded by thousands of people already have at least one thing similar to you. So it's not rocket science to strike up a conversation and meet new people, make new friends.
16. Escape!
-While this is similar to the appreciation factor, doing the same thing day in and day out can really wear you down. Sometimes all you need is some loud music, some loud guitar, rumbling drums, calming bass and some good singing to bring you back to life
17. Something to look forward to
-Everyone looks forward to concerts, whether it be a big name artist, a tribute band or a local event. There is so much excitement and fun in planning things like this. Like if a concert you want to attend is out of town, there's the fun (and slight stress) of booking a hotel if it takes too long to get there, getting tickets, transportation, directions to the venue, etc. This excitement just keeps building and building until the event comes and then you're like a chain reaction approaching critical mass-you're ready to blow!!
18. The Nostalgia Effect
-There is an effect in science called the Nostalgia Effect. This occurs when you think back on memories that were enjoyable from your past and they become more and more enjoyable when you think about them.
19. A very unique experience
-Concerts are sometimes once-in-a-lifetime. You may or may never see that musician again. They are truly once-in-a-lifetime. It's very rare and very lucky to be able to see the same musician more than once. I can at least say that I've seen a few bands more than once. Deep Purple in 2017 and 2018 on their Infinite tour, both times at Riverbend Music Center. Judas Priest in 2015 at Rock on the Range on their 2015 Redeemer of Souls tour and in 2018 on their Firepower tour at Riverbend Music Center. Def Leppard in 2014 on their Kiss of Def tour at Riverbend Music Center and in 2018 on their anniversary tour at US Bank Arena. Kiss in 2014 on their Kiss of Def tour at Riverbend Music Center and in 2019 on their End of the Road tour at Nationwide Arena in Columbus, OH.
20. A personal connection with the artist
-Every DVD, whether it's of a film or concert or even tour, will provide little insights into the bands, the meanings behind the songs or whatever else. And...let's not forget. That before those musicians became household names, they were fans, just like you, raging and jamming to the musician whose concert they were attending. They were fans once upon a time, getting excited about going to see their favorite musician in concert.
21. Social Connections getting upgraded
-Odds are high that when you go to a concert, you'll be going with friends or family (I know for a fact that sounds exactly like me! I go with family to concerts!). This is a great way to get families involved with each other and it's safe. Plus, people watching alone is worth it! It's also safer and more exciting than a night at home playing board games or a night at the bar.
22. Ticket stubs!!
-Not every band will issue ticket stubs. Some have recently been going with electronic tickets or e-tickets. Where you need a phone with internet access to have a special code to get you in. I speak like this because this is exactly what I had to do to get me and family in to see Iron Maiden in August. Anyway, ticket stubs from concerts are a special keepsake that should be cherished. We all like to have those little reminders that we went to see such and such in concert and the memories with it. You can frame them, put them in a binder or a shoebox. No matter what, keep every little reminder of the concerts you went to in addition to the multitude of souvenirs you probably bought that night.
-There is nothing more enjoyable than dancing and singing your favorite songs by your favorite band while seeing them live. You will sing every word at the top of your lungs and dance like no one is watching. The upside? Exercise! You'll be burning calories in no time! Studies show that you can burn 400+ calories dancing at concerts!!
2. Stress Reduction
-Everyone has stressors in their life. Those people or things that just make you mad and angry. Musical events such as concerts reduce the amount of cortisol, known as the "stress hormone" from being released. According to a study from Imperial College in London, 117 applicants for an experiment involving listening to wind instruments noted that their blood pressure, heart rate were lower, their breathing rate reduced, thus inducing a calm feeling
3. Mood changer
-Everyone loves live music events. Did you know this can uplift your mood? It can put a smile on your face listening to those classic rock or metal guitars, the pounding drums, that deep soulful sound of the bass and other instruments on stage
4. Come Together/Join Together
-Not to reference a Beatles or Who song, but going to concerts allows a feeling of togetherness. You and hundreds of other fans can join together to sing the songs. Everyone is there to see their favorite musician and nothing makes you feel more warm and fuzzy inside than knowing that everyone is there with the same level of dedication
5. Constant concerts
-You don't have to hang around the big name venues. There are always concerts in parks going on, concerts at small, intimate venues going on. Heck, there is usually even music coming from people busking on the street
6. Improve your well-being
-According to a study made by Deakin University in Australia in 2016, studies found that people who attended concerts regularly are happier in their every day lives. It improves their mental health and that people who attended concerts with a boyfriend/girlfriend had improved relationships
7. Discover new bands
-Odds are high that when you go to see a band perform, they are going to have at least 1-2 support acts on prior. These are invaluable because you can discover new music from there. There is an undying and unlimited amount of music out there, just waiting to find new fans. Each day a group of people somewhere are forming bands hoping to get found.

Or going to see Iron Maiden and the opening acts being As Lions/The Raven Age/Lauren Harris. You get legendary Iron Maiden with soon to be legendary The Raven Age (like Metallica only British and with more aggression in their music for those unfamiliar with the name), Lauren Harris (like Joan Jett except British and hard rock instead of punk), As Lions (very melodic metal)

Travelling: The Next Great Confidence Builder
We all may or may not have issues with confidence. Some are happy go lucky, confidence off the charts. Others may be more reticent, shy, not a lot of confidence. Did you know that travelling can build up that confidence? Here's how.
1. You develop better financial skills
-When you have those destinations in mind, you tend to start saving up. You become more financially savvy. Everyone knows that to travel, you need a lot of $$$$. If you can budget yourself on vacation, odds are high that you can budget yourself back home. When you're away on vacation, it's probably a knee jerk reaction to buy anything that looks cool. The most important thing is to know how much money you are going to need to survive the trip. If you can carefully manage the money you have to be able to get everything you need for your trip, you will be good and you can transfer these skills into everyday life. One piece of advice-when travelling through Europe, Australia, Asia, there are no such things as "all inclusive". This term refers to something that a lot of tropical destinations engage in. It means everything is paid for. The only money you bring is for tips and souvenirs.
2. Learning a foreign language
-Everyone at one point or another in their life has been interested in learning a foreign language. I know I have and I know I am. It's said that through learning a foreign language you are looking at the world through a new set of eyes. Taking a class on foreign languages is great, but what is even greater is talking to the locals, engaging in conversation with them and asking them what words mean in their language. They will be more than flattered that you are taking an interest in their culture and language and be more than willing to help. Learning a new language helps you learn how interact with your surroundings in new ways. You will have an increased capacity for action and doing things and as such, you can tackle challenges easier
3. Independence
-There is a vast world of difference between travelling as a group and going solo. When going solo, you essentially have to become a jack-of-all-trades, a sort of Bear Grylls-type person to survive. Not to the extent of Bear Grylls, but you will need the skills necessary to solve problems should they come your way. Knowing how to do basics such as sew, cook, fix a bike, camp or even drive will boost your confidence ten fold and let you know you can survive
4. Meeting new people
-For some, the shy people mostly, meeting new people is a daunting task. What do you say to start the conversation? Unless your itinerary is camping in a wooded area, odds are high that you will be meeting other people. It's mind blowing the way humans interact with other humans. Anthropologists would have a field day studying humans and their interactions with other humans, rofl. If you are travelling to a country where English is not the primary language, it could look like a jumbled mess. It'll be almost to the point of frustration to reach some point of understanding between you and the other person, but the reward is worth going for. Getting to know others and their way of life shows that person you are taking interest in their culture. Most if not all people are flattered when people take interest in their culture. Talking to others and meeting new people can help you recognize the sensitivities and desires of other people. You can even have the confidence to help change someone's life for the better. And in the process, even make a new friend or two

Day 29-Hopes, dreams, plans for the next year
This is going to be interesting...
Go to London
-I have saved up more than enough money, the thing holding me back is the motivation to do it. I would have to take two weeks at least. I don't think a week would cut it because I would also take my sister and we would make a day trip out of going to Flamingo Land in Yorkshire and the Beatles Museum in Liverpool. What can I say? I love listening to the Beatles. I've always had my heart set on London since senior year of high school, when I first heard the music of the Fab Four
Travel more
-I'd love to visit Australia, Japan, China, Italy as well. But that might be one or two years down the road, who knows how things will work out?
See more concerts
-I would love, more than anything, to see Judas Priest in concert again. The first time I saw them was as a headlining band at 2015's Rock on the Range in Columbus, OH. What made it more special was having my sister there and laughing at her saying "I love this song" when "Hell Bent for Leather" and "Breaking the Law" played. She loved seeing Rob ride out on his Harley. I would love to see Iron Maiden just once. As for other bands, I wouldn't mind seeing Black Sabbath, AC/DC or Def Leppard

Day 18-Something random- My Dream Cars
Notice there's a pattern here? 1971 seems to be the year, lol!!
1971 Ford Gran Torino
-Not just any 1971 Ford Gran Torino. I love the car from Starsky & Hutch
1971 Dodge Charger
-Ever since seeing The Dukes of Hazzard and seeing that orange Dodge Charger, I have fallen in love with this car, lol
1971 Dodge Challenger
-These are cool looking too
1970 Plymouth Barracuda
-IDK why, just a great-looking car. BUT...These cars would have to have a powerful HEMI engine in them, to give them that get-up-and-go power
 |
| Ooooo, purple! One of my favorite colors! |
I'm normally not into expensive cars. So in terms of this, the most expensive I'll probably go is a BMW. That's it. I have wine tastes on a beer salary, lol!!
Motorcycle
-I would love to learn how to ride one. Kinda partial to Harley Davidson and Triumph motorcycles
 |
| Harley Davidson Street Glide |
 |
| Harley Davidson Wide Glide |
 |
| Triumph Speedmaster |

I passed! I passed my driving test!!!!!!! I'm now street legal!!!!!!!!!
I'm now street legal! That's right! This morning, I took my driver's test and I passed! This girl is now street legal. All I have to do is go and get my lovely, newly updated license and I'm good to go!
And as a reward, I bought myself a book. I might as well say it- I caved. I bought the book Face the Music: A Life Exposed. I really want to read it! I can honestly see the look on my mom's face. She'll say "Well, I knew it wouldn't be long. I love you dearly, Caitlin, but you're so predictable". So, it's official: I lost the bet going on both here at my house and at work. Both my parents and sister bet I'd buy this within a day of it coming out and at work, they said 3 days. So, when they find out I bought it, yup, I lost the bet, lmao!! Besides, it was cheap- only $12 on Barnes and Noble, talk about awesome!

Sometimes I wish I were as beautiful as these women
Georgia May Jagger
-Some may not call her a beauty, but I think she is beautiful. That gap in her teeth is her trademark, just like the large lips are her dad's trademark. What's really strange is that every time I see a commercial for Rimmel London on TV, I see her. I love knowing that I know who the gap-toothed model on those commercials is. Although my mom says "Man, you could drive a truck through that gap!" Really mean, if u ask me! And my mom thinks she's not so pretty and when she finds out it's Mick Jagger's daughter, she says "Well, that isn't surprising; he's not too good looking himself"

Kate Winslet
-She's smart, beautiful and just a good actress. I really wish I had her beauty
Elizabeth Jagger
-Really hard to believe she's related to Georgia and that their dad is Mick Jagger. What makes it a little easier to believe is when you look at their lips! They both have the full lips their dad is known for. I really wish I were as pretty as her or her sister Georgia

I've found all the more motivation to get my driving license
Kiss and Def Leppard are touring!!!!
They're coming to Riverbend Coliseum, right here in Cincinnati, OH, where I live, this summer. They're doing a concert here in July! On the 15th!!! Oh man, I gotta find out how much tickets are and if I can swing 'em, I'm GOING!!!!!
If I can go, I'll be able to see Phil Collen, who I think is so cute and see Paul Stanley, a guitarist I like, and get to jam to the music I love!!!

You're not gonna believe this!
There are true and false facts about college!! This definitely makes me feel a lot better about going back to school; it puts a little relief on my mind about it, eases my ever worrying mind, especially since my aunt last night called and all but discouraged me from going back. If you read this and find it shocking, don't be. My aunt's been like this for years; discouraging me and my sister from following our dreams!
1.
-American colleges are the best in the world.
Not true according to a study done by Jeff Selingo, who wrote a book about higher education. The U.S. only ranks about 14th in the world for education. Mainly because the cost is out of control and the quality of education is questionable. Also, more and more colleges anymore are taking up study abroad programs, which allow its students to travel to other countries, soaking up the local culture and attend college in those countries and learn like the locals do
2.
-You get what you pay for
He says there is really no difference in cost if you attend one college over another. He says that some people would go to an expensive college thinking they'll get 5 star education when compared to someone who goes to a modestly priced college will get the same level of education
3.
Most students graduate in four years
-Fewer than 40% of students graduate in four years and 58% students graduate in 6 years. You're no better than a high school student, says Selingo
4.
-Majors determine your future
Most employers want employees who are quick to learn (ME) and have the ability to learn and love of learning (ME). These employers also want people who can find the answers to tomorrows' questions. Most fields the major matters.
5.
Community College is for losers
-It's said that students who come to a four year university after attending a community college graduate quickly. Because they're motivated to do well, tuitions are lower at community colleges.

Day 2: Things You Wish You Could Do
Things I wish I could do? Wow, that could mean anything. It's supposed to be 2, but there's a lot I really want to do to just choose 2
One thing I really wish I could do is study abroad. If I had the money, I'd go to either Australia, because it's warm and sunny, and when not in class, be down at Bondi Beach working on my tan, trying to clear the acne I'm trying to rid myself of, reading a book. London. People say it's cold and rainy, not really sure about the rainy part. Every time I see it, looks just fine. The fashion is kinda cool, they wear pinstripe suits, at least the guys do, and they all look so handsome in their suits and ties, and the women all look so pretty in their suits and dresses. And when not in class, I'd be trying to catch a soccer game, hopefully the Arsenal Gunners would be playing, and if not them, maybe the Tottenham Hotspurs. I guess I somehow developed a love of English soccer from my stepdad. And who knows? I might see a British barrister in their white wig and robe walking down the street to the Old Bailey to go back to trial? Who knows what I'd see? I'd get excited at just being there in general!! If you read this and you're from England, you'll probably laugh at my excitement. I'm the kind of person who finds the biggest excitement in the smallest things
Get a really cool job. To be almost the envy of most people from high school. I'd love nothing more than to have any one of these jobs:
Video Game Designer. I'm hoping to go to school for this
Nurse. Maybe this? I've always been interested in medicine
Criminal Justice. With all the law shows I watch, like Law and Order: UK, Criminal Minds, The First 48, maybe it's a sign?
Go to a freakin' concert!! I'm dying to go see an actual concert. Preferably rock. And if I can have the money and maybe a car by the time either July or August rolls around, it might happen. Rush is supposed to be coming here on their 2013 Clockwork Angels tour, and I plan on seeing them live!! These photos below are pretty much all the peopel I would loooooooooooooove to see in concert!!

I guess I somehow developed a love of English soccer from my stepdad. And who knows? I might see a British barrister in their white wig and robe walking down the street to the Old Bailey to go back to trial? Who knows what I'd see? I'd get excited at just being there in general!! If you read this and you're from England, you'll probably laugh at my excitement. I'm the kind of person who finds the biggest excitement in the smallest things
I would say drive. But that's already in progress. Wish 1, almost done. Just gotta pass my test, which I feel confident that, after some major practice, I can pass. Maybe not first time, but pass none the less

| IDK why, this picture kinda makes me laugh. I think it's a car from England called a Reliant K or something along those lines. They have 1 wheel in the front and tip over easily. They did an experiment with that on Top Gear once. Also, this kind of car is the one Mr. Bean keeps knocking over on the show |
Video Game Designer. I'm hoping to go to school for this
Nurse. Maybe this? I've always been interested in medicine
Criminal Justice. With all the law shows I watch, like Law and Order: UK, Criminal Minds, The First 48, maybe it's a sign?
Go to a freakin' concert!! I'm dying to go see an actual concert. Preferably rock. And if I can have the money and maybe a car by the time either July or August rolls around, it might happen. Rush is supposed to be coming here on their 2013 Clockwork Angels tour, and I plan on seeing them live!! These photos below are pretty much all the peopel I would loooooooooooooove to see in concert!!
