tomorrow night my friend, emily, and i are going to see rize at the lucas theatre. im dang excited about it. josh, wanna come?--i mean since you love hip hop and all . . .
so last night i saw the most amazing show i've ever seen in my life-- coldplay-- live in birmingham. OH WAIT, NO I DIDNT, B/C IT GOT FREAKIN CANCELLED. chris called me friday afternoon as i was driving through atlanta to let me know that he wasnt feeling to great, so they werent going to do the show. i asked him if there was anything i could do, and he mentioned that he and gwyneth hadnt had a night out in a while, so i offered to babysit apple. it was cool. they just went out to dinner and then we all hung out with the band. they played an acoustic set which was ok. ok, im a liar, but not about the show being cancelled part.
in other news, i do have a ticket to see ben folds in a couple of weeks. hopefully he wont get sick. otherwise ill have to kill him.
beth, my roommate, and i were talking the other day about the beach vs. the mountians. we both grew up here in savannah, just thirty minutes or so from tybee beach, and while it is not the most beautiful beach in the world, it is enjoyable. beth voted for the beach. she loves being the in sun. i voted for the mountians. i fell in love with the mountains as a kid visiting the smokies every summer, and i got to spend a lot of time hiking and camping during college when i lived in tennessee. dont get me wrong, the beach is great, and i like the sun, too, but the mountains just do it for me. there is a sense of mystery and slight danger when youre walking in the woods. i think the ocean is mysterious and dangerous also, but not in the same way. maybe i just like the mountains b/c i like the color green, although i know the answer isnt that simplistic.

after living close enough to both i would have to say mountains. The beach is nice, but all it has to offer is water, people, sand, people, dolphins, and seagulls (aerial rodents). of course theres a few other things but i think the mountains offers so much more. A plethora of wildlife and fauna, creeks, rivers, lakes, squirrels, rocks, cliffs, and incredible views, and most importantly, no people. you see far less people on the trail than on the beach. You want a great beach experience and you have to kayak out to some deserted spot, which is awesome.
honestly its hard to compare the two, you should say the coast or the mountains because the beach limits you to a 20 yard stretch of sand. The has a ton outside the beach to offer.
i think the beach takes away from the coast, i would say i like coastal areas far more than the beach. remeber dafauski. the vegitation was awesome and the history was even more awesome. On the coast people tend to go straight to the beach because, well, its the beach and are either to lazy or just ignor what else is around.
but the mountains are cool and have no humidity. they win.
