Just heard the good news…

Kings of Leon is going back to Holland this year!!

And guess what? We will back in Holland by time they are going to play in Ahoy, Rotterdam on the 2nd of July.

In fact… My mum already has ordered two tickets for us!!! Fingers crossed that we get the tickets..

Initially we missed out on tickets to the Kings of Leon concert in Brisbane, but thanks to Ebay (and $550 for 2 tickets) we were able to go anyway.

I was so freaking excited that I couldn’t sleep for nights.  For days I was bouncing up and down and was counting down the minutes until we could finally go.

We were there early, before the gates opened, just to soak up the atmosphere and watch people (yes, I love to watch people). I was a bit amazed at the crowd that was coming to a KOL concert, but hey… Who doesn’t love Kings of Leon?

When the doors finally opened we got a good spot at the front row. The Stills was an awesome band that opened the night and it didn’t take long before I jumped and danced the night away.

At nine o’clock Kings of Leon finally appeared and from then on I just couldn’t stop moving. My God!! They are so freaking awesome when they play live. I absolutely loved the old stuff they played although the crowd only seemed to warm up for the songs of their latest album (SUCKERS!!!). The concert was awesome although I wished they had played trani.

We came home around midnight, but I was still on such a high that I couldn’t go to sleep…

I know it’s been a long time since I have updated this blog. I know… I am slack, but honestly I haven’t really had much to write about. So, what’s the latest news? Well.. we’re moving back to Holland.

Not that that is new, but now it’s finally going to happen. Our lease is up on the 5th of May and we want to be back in Holland before that. So we need to sell ALL of our stuff and arrange the move…

Wish me luck

Yesterday I was playing around a bit with Intervideo DVD creator and made a little video. I used the pictures I took while snorkeling on the Great Barrier Reef on the 24th of November 2008. The pictures were taken on a reef near Green Island ( approximately two hours from Cairns) in Australia. I used the song Woo Hoo from the Kings of Leon as background music. Hope you like the video!

Our holiday is finally over and at the moment I feel completely deflated. I am not sure why I feel so depressed. Maybe it’s because from now on it will be the same shit, just a different day.

The holiday itself was great; meeting up with family and friends in Holland and travelling around in Australia. The only problem of a wonderful holiday is that the reality of ‘normal’ life hits you twice as hard. You see how different life can be. You get a little taste of something nice and you just don’t want to go back to same shit different day.

One of the positive things that I desperately hold on to is the fact that we bought a wonderful little summer house in Holland. The location is perfect; close to my family, looking out over a nice paddock with animals and the bush right behind our doorstep.
