Kings of Leon Concert


I am so lucky to have a friend like Kit (picture to the right). He works for the radio station 99.5 and everytime there is a concert going on in Utah he always gets free tickets to them! And I'm lucky enough to get to go! So this concert was Kings of Leon! I have to admit, I really only knew their 2 most popular songs but I did like those so I figured I'd like the rest. I actually LOVED them and as soon as I had a chance downloaded a TON of Kings of Leon. Very good, look them up and give them a chance if you haven't already!These are my friends Markus and Suzanne. Kit said I could invite one other person to the concert with me. And when I was telling Suzanne earlier that I was going she expressed her excitement about it! So.... I brought her along with me!
Ok next story. My friend Dana Hill is HILARIOUS. And he looks and acts just like the guy from the movie 'The Hangover', Zach Galifianakis. And everytime without fail when we all go out, some randoms come up and ask if they can have a picture with him. LOL. So we decided to make that happen. All of us started just taking pictures with Dana and sure enough! Some random dudes came over all excited and asked him if they could get a picture with him. hahahaha It was hilarious.

Beautiful Flower

This is a song for every girl who's
Ever been through something she thought she couldn't make it through
I sing these words because
I was that girl too
Wanting something better than this
But who do I turn to

Now we're moving from the darkness into the light
This is the defining moment of our lives

'Cause you're beautiful like a flower
More valuable than a diamond
You are powerful like a fire
You can heal the world with your mind

There is nothing in the world that you cannot do
When you believe in you, who are beautiful
Yeah, you, who are brilliant
Yeah, you, who are powerful
Yeah, you, who are resilient

This is a song for every girl who
Feels like she is not special
'Cause she don't look like a supermodel Coke bottle
The next time the radio tells you to shake your moneymaker
[ Beautiful Flower lyrics found on http://www.completealbumlyrics.com ]
Shake your head and tell them, tell them you're a leader

Now we're moving from the darkness into the light
This is the defining moment of our lives

'Cause you're beautiful like a flower
More valuable than a diamond
You are powerful like a fire
You can heal the world with your mind

There is nothing in the world that you cannot do
When you believe in you, who are beautiful
Yeah, you, who are brilliant
Yeah, you, who are powerful
Yeah, you, who are resilient

Yeah, you, who are beautiful
Yeah, you, who are brilliant
Yeah, you, who are powerful
Yeah, you, who are resilient

Yeah, you, this song is for you
Yeah, you, this song is for you
Yeah, you, this song is for you
Yeah, you, yeah, you
You are brilliant

I love the lyrics to this song. Not that I'm going through anything super hard right now, just speaks to me right now. Reminds me that I'm strong and I can get through anything. We are all going to have our ups and downs in life, but that's what builds our character.
