Pringles... easily the best thing ever.

so i watching some tv here earlier tonight and heard a quote that went something along the lines of this: people in this present day have no "wonder" moments anymore.

this of course refers to a fact that, as a society, we've been desensitized, through whatever means you want to pick, be it any sort of common media. We've seen so much that there's very few things that absolutely floor us and leave us in awe.

so i started thinking about the few things that do give us these moments.
there's the pretty common list,
seeing your bride when she walks down the isle (i assume, never done it)
having a baby (again, i assume)
the first time a kid walks into Disney land (if you've never done it, trust me)

im sure everyone else has different lists and personal moments, but the last one i could come up with is this:

Seeing one of your favorite bands in concert.

now, im not saying i have a whole lot of experience in this field, but i have had a few chances to see some pretty sweet bands, well in my opinion anyway.

a short list would be as follows:
Metallica
Slayer
Brooks & Dunn
Cancer Bats (about 3 times i believe)
Alexisonfire
Brad Paisley
Dirks Bentley
Buck 65

now say what you want about this list, seems pretty random i know.

My point is, and anyone that has also experienced this will agree, you cannot beat the feeling of sitting in a dark room (theater, big ass arena, whatever) and the lights suddenly flash on and the first few notes of one of your favorite songs drowns out everything in your mind.

i can honestly say that ive been awe struck by exactly what is explained in the above paragraph.
it has nothing to do with seeing a big music star right in front of you (which is pretty cool) but it all goes back to the music, if its something you love, seeing it preformed in front of your eyes, not hearing it on a computer or an Ipod, or even seeing the video or whatever, you just cant beat it.

the other part of this in is, for me anyway, is it happens every time i see one of my favorite bands, without fail

and i love it.
