A Day, Just An Ordinary Day...
Today was a normal Sunday. I watched some tv, some movies, cleaned up a little and made dinner. Yay! How fun!
Yesterday, Jennie & I went to dinner at Baton Rouge ... nothing like a $30 Filet Migneon! And then we went to watch Marky Mark, Andre 3000 & Tyrese in "Four Brothers". I have to say, there was much more violence than i expected, but the movie was very funny, and touching and sad and everything! It was all in all a great movie Strongly recommend it to everyone!
Friday Amara, Yara, Rebecca & I went out to the "shwa" - The Oshawa Shopping Centre to see Alicia. It was a Back -To- School Registration Fair, and Alicia had her little booth. We Went for dinner at Greek before heading out, and then we went to the Pickering Town Centre first by accident. Once at the Shwa, we saw Cynthia's Creative Dance Arts doing their little show. It was pretty good...Then we spent the next hour or so with Alicia at her little booth. It was fun. Then when we got back to Amara & Yara's house, we played a game of Sorry, and they showed me all their old barbies and toys -LOL, and then I think we watched some tv, and we played Song Charades, and then it was 1am and I went home.
My week leading up to that was pretty uneventful. But on Thursday, Melissa, Sylvia & I had dinner at Swiss Chalet, and then went downtown to the fFiDA dance show at the Distillery District. Mary-Anne had a piece that she was dancing in & that she choreographed in the show. It was modern...so i was a little nervous about it, but she did an AWESOME job!!! The first number in the show was...um...a bit of a stretch for me. But the 3rd number was pretty good too. Then on the way home we went to Hollywood Gelato for some dessert. All in all it was a pretty good day!
Thats about all i have to report for now. If you want an awesome blog to read, check out: www.trent.blogspot.com - Pink is the New Blog!!

BACKSTREET's BACK ALRIGHT!!!
Toronto, Ontario - Molsen Ampitheatre.
Well, where does one even start to describe something they've been waiting for, for 4 years?!? I think, PHENOMINAL, MAGNIFICENT, AMAZING, and AWESOME are a good place to start.
The Boys opened with a video montage of the past...hysteria that used to surround them, when the video screen went blank, the Boys appeared, and the began to perform "The Call". Of course the Boys were greeted by screams and howls from (us), and the rest of the crowd!
Next up was "Beautiful Woman"...a song off of 'Never Gone' that i quite enjoy! I loved the dancing, and everything the Boys did. Throughout the next set, the Boys performed many of their staples like "Shape of My Heart", and "More Than That" before they broke into "Climbing the Walls".
One of the things I was wondering going into the concert was if the Boys would just be sitting around singing, or if we were going to have some dancing. And when they busted out the old dance moves for "The One" I knew it was a good sign for the rest of the night!
Some other songs the Boys performed were ... "Show Me The Meaning of Being Lonely", and "As Long As You Love Me". They also used different video vignettes during costume changes showcasing highlights from different albums. It was awesome when they showed clips from the very first BSB album, from back in 1994!! Those were the days!
The stage was rather subdued from the ones we're used to in the past, but they did bust out some confetti which was to resemble snow during "Siberia". Now everyone knows that Brian has always had some issues with the complicated dance moves, i have to say, he seems SOO much looser than in past years, and I was quite impressed by the timing and height of his jump during "Just Want You To Know" with the display of pyrotechnics!!! Now of course, my Nicholas busted out the electric guitar for this song as well....how enjoyable that was for me :)
The dancing continued in true Backstreet Boy fashion for "Larger Than Life", "I Want It That Way" and "Quit Playing Games (With My Heart)". Sad that I remembered most of the dances, and tried to do them from my seat!
The Boys did 2 encores last night...the first, a piano was brought onstage where Kevin remained for the next 2 songs. They started the encore with "Wierd World", and then completed the first encore with "Incomplete". The Boys then came out again for their second encore and performed "Backstreet's Back"!! The song I thought they should have performed to open the show, but ending with it worked too. Again, they were back to the original choreography (minus the floor work) and all was grand with the final crazy pyro at the end!
On a side note from the concert...I was told to be quite by the lady in front of me...apparently my screaming was too loud for her daughter, who ALREADY had earplugs in...COMMON this is a CONCERT! I paid good money to scream my lungs out and as much as I wanted to be nice, I waited 4 years to scream like this, so i continued!
All in all, it was definatly worth the wait! I love my Boys, and seeing them last night was just awesome! Feel free to check out the Photo Album [went a little crazy on taking the pictures, but u know ;)] I also got some video clips which i'm going to try and upload on here somehow, so look out for them!
Just remember everyone.....BACKSTREET's BACK ALRIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
