I read an article covering a similar topic in the newspaper the other day (yes, I know, I'm old-school, reading newspapers and printed magazines) Well, in my own experience, I have noticed how my ability to focus on a single activity has depreciated the more I use the Internet. When I was in high school or my first two years in college, I was able to sit down and read or do homework for hours, only taking breaks to eat, go to the bathroom, stretch, or exercise. Now? I get easily distracted while using my laptop into looking up stuff on Wikipedia, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, the list goes on. I don't feel as efficient as before.

^same here, it needs to grow on me... and the fact that it's associated with Twilight does not help :sick:

Can;t believe it has been a week! :lol:

I had a paranoid episode in August, which was making me having have panic attacks everyday. It took me 2 weeks to snap out of it, yet I decided to address the issue [see, panic disorder is a type of anxiety disorder] In addition to exercise, I started taking St. John's Wort, and I think it has help me keep my good mood. Hope so...I have a Honors thesis and a 25-page paper to finish before December, AND the last thing I need is to panic really bad again :dozey: HULL YES!!!! Exercise + Music = :dance: YAY, I love that skit! :D I must say that seeing The killers, U2 and Muse live has given me such a rush of happiness I hope it last until Christmas :laugh3:

So, now that I have seen a couple of my fave bands live, still no Snow Patrol :sad:

*look at tauiwi's signature* Wow, we have almost the same taste in music :stunned:. Only that mine includes more Spanish/Hispanic musicians, and some Brazilians :)

Nah, don't worry, I won't kill you now! You have earned your life with these pics :P *saves on her hard drive* Ok, this deserves to be in the "Matt Bellamy Appreciation thread" :sneaky: Funny, now I want to own a pair of jeans like those. That color is amazing! :lol: Yeah, specially the 2nd one. RAWR! :wink3: :lol: :P Well, it seems MUSE took this opportunity to expose themselves to a bigger audience. It's working, everyone around me thought they were pretty good :D

I had an AWESOME time! :dance: Thanks so much for selling me the ticket at the last minute! :sweatdrop: I still cannot believe I made it, I saw freakin' U2! :o Glad you were at the inner circle. Ok, I took many pics, but this is what happened: My brother borrowed me his camera, which I did not know how to use well. SO...I deleted the 1st 30 pics that I had taken :cry: All the Muse pics and of the beginning of the show were gone :stunned: I totally freaked out for like a minute, but I had to calm down and enjoy the show, AND just take more pics. What the heck? I need to see MUSE again now [not that I don't want to] :P Question: is that you singing on the videos? :lol: Woo hoo! Have fun!!!! Yes, MUSE rocked! But, only 8 songs :( They need to come back for a proper US tour. Their fans at their forum speculate that they'll be back in March :happy: *unless you're a girl, don't read the spoiler*

Jajajajajajaja! :laugh3: @the_escapist: si, mijo, anda! Es una experiencia involvidable. Imaginate que yo logre ver a CP en Nov pasado, y eso porque yo me vine a vivir a USA de Vzla hace 6 años. Por eso los pude ver, porque si espero que vayan a Venezuela, todavia estuviera esperando :dozey:

hey, giving my support! (see my siggy) I joined the FB group as well! :D

Ah, dang it! I wanted to listen to that new song :( Yeah, I actually died several times during the concert of freakin'excitement *unless you're a girl, please ignore the spoiler*

you're right! I need edit my siggy :P No, they did not play "Pride" because they played "MLK" instead. Source: U2gigs.com

@Cobalt: girl, I feel ya, as a recent immigrant to the US, I know what's like to have problems with the monies, and dealing with the -retarded- gov't agencies :dozey:

Ah, mmmm, well...how to say this? I saw Matt Bellamy last night in concert :D Opening for U2, I was stading on the field, wasn't that far away from the stage. Muse started playing before sunset, so I could see them even better. Matt was wearing teal jeans :bomb: Pure sexyness right there! And when he talked to say "thank you Tampa" I squuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuueeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed! :lol: But they only sang 8 songs :dozey: They need to make a proper US tour! Musers at their forum are speculating they'll be back on April/May 2010 *fingers crossed*

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! Saw U2 and Muse in Tampa last night, and it totally fuckin' ROCKED! Unforgettable experience! Everything was amazing: the music, the stage, the lights, the sound, the crowd! The only downside was accidentally deleting the first pics I took :( EPIC! EPIC! EPIC! EPIC! EPIC! EPIC! EPIC! EPIC! EPIC! EPIC! EPIC! EPIC! EPIC! EPIC!
