Oh, my God! Yesterday was the BEST day of YEAR and one of the best days of my LIFE!! I went to the CNE (The "Ex") in the daytime and then the KISS concert at night in Toronto. I found 2 new hippos to add to my collection; a sandstone and a beaded one, some bath-bombs ( which I needed to soak my sore, tired, stiff, achy bod in today) and funky tie-dyed "Genie" pants. Food was soooo expensive though; my Greek gyros and Diet Cola cost 14.95$ Shit! I also watched 2 shows; beat-box breakdancers that had disabilities, such a one leg, limb deformities, deafness, partial limbs,etc. and they were incredible and inspiriring and they can do more disabled( or differntly-abled) than I can do fully-abled, and we can learn from them that we each can still succeed and find our own way even with limits, and also a Korean dance troupe and they had such beautiful costumes and the Korean girls are so pretty anyway, like my BFF. I loved being back in my hometown again,too and I always feel so alive in the city and like the Old Me again, like how I used to be before something inside me died.Every time I go back it's like I emerge from my shell, my spirit comes alive me and something deep inside me awakens, and for a day a little lights shine back into my dark world.
While I was at the Ex my hubby dropped off the 16 and 18 YR olds in the city to visit with their friend from California and they're spending the weekend together shopping, getting their nails done, eating out, hanging out downtown, girl's stuff and staying with her overnight at her hotel, the Fairmount Royal York ......which, as it turned out also happened to be the same hotel that KISS was staying at...... I kid you not.....no joke...... and they got to meet the band!!!!!
HOLY F*UCK!!!!!!!
CAN YOU BELIEVEIT?
As you can see in the photo here, here are some of them( that's the 18 YR old on the left and on the right the 16 YR old with the long blonde hair and her friend behind her) with the legendary, one and only Oh my God- Gene Simmons!! When my hubby first told me about it I was in the bath and he runs in and teels me they met the band and I'm like, Ha! Yeah, right, and I'm the Queen of England! and then he shows me the photo and I just lose my shit and the shrieking is so loud the 24 YR old(who was getting ready for work downstairs) comes running up and thought I'd cut my finger off or something and I was just freaking out and the sheer magnitude of it, I mean, this is epic! HOLY SHIT!!!! i JUST KEPT FREAKING OUT and muttering to myself all morning, Holy shit!! Holy shit!!!
The concert was the BEST concert I've been to in my entire LIFE, too, and I've been to lots of concerts, ever since I was 12 years old and I've always loved KISS, ever since I was a kid, and, in fact, they were actually one of the first bands I was exposed to and fell in love with and I was even a member of the KISS Army and had an official KISS Army patch! So, basically I've been waiting my entire life for this, to see them live, a Bucket List thing. It was also the first concert where I partook of marijuana and it was an incredible experience; man, I thought concerts were good before but it just enhanced the effect and the lights were light twinkling stars and everything seemed amplified and it was just amazing. KISS also not only put on an incredible show but intereacted well with the audience and the special FX were incredible and they even had real fire and as far up as I was ( 4 rows from the very back) I could still fell the heat from it, and fireworks, lasers, etc. Truthfully words couldn't even begin to describe the experience. As it began my heart thumped in anticipation as well as the band began to walk onstage and my left arm and shoulder had a pain and I thought I was going to have a heart-attack and I prayed to God Please! Not now! NOT until after the concert! Let me at least see KISS first and then I'm good!
When it ended there was a mass sea of humanity as 70 thousand or so people streamed out onto the street so the police had the roads all blocked off for blocks so my hubby wasn't able to drive in and pick me up so here I was, alone in downtown Toronto at night stranded and I had to walk a few blocks where he was able to get me only he didn't know where he was or where I was or where somebody was because I waited there over an hour before he finally got me, and we were talking on the phone the whole time and I told him where I was, what inter-sections and what landmarks were in front of me, behind me and beside me, etc. but he got mad at me and said I was in the wrong spot and berated me for being stupid even though I went right where he told and I never went anywhere; I was there the whole time, standing on the street corner like a streetwalker; luckily no one propositioned me( and I actually felt quite insulted they didn't, ha,ha) and initially I was worried about my safety being alone downtown but there were so many people it wasn't an issue but my hubby just dismissed it anyway brushing it off not even caring if I got mugged, raped, or killed, and what I don't get either is how he doesn't care that his own teen daughters can go around dressed like whores wearing lacy thongs, mini skirts and stilettos( which ( DON'T agree with or allow but no one listens to me or cares that I think and I have no say) and he has no problem with it but he hassles me for wearing my cannabis shirt!!! Really? On the way home it was so foggy too we could hardly see and we didn't get home until 2 am. I'm still sooooo tired(and every muscle in my body hurts and is screaming for mercy; so although I can still party like a rock star it appears I can no longer recover like one) I had a long nap but I still feel like a jet-lagged zombie but last night was EPIC!!.
