    :eek: Good!

    Morning Mr J :D Hows things going today - all adding up?

    :D yeah so far. Most days my brain never works to full capacity - yesterday it just wouldnt get started.

    Funny tho I did practice questions for three modules last night (under exam conditions and time) and did very well which was a confidence booster. All I can keep thinking of is that the pass mark is 65% and the last 4 semesters the fail rate has been between 30.1 and 34.6% - please dont let me be in that range!!!
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me.

    Don't remind me. I still remember spazzing out over the Release opener too.

    I remember I couldnt even sing the words to that. I had the hairs on my arms standing up, looking around wide eyed like a 13 year old on acid at a strip joint.

    Another memorable part was me screaming out "Come Back" during the encore .. meaning I wanted to hear the song and some guy turning around and saying to me "Don't worry they'll be back". :D

    I would've had problems if I'd been there. It was breath taking!! Release from the Sydney boot has become my bed time song - lets just say - no batteries required ;) :eek:

    Well, I'm out people. Practically the whole town has shut down for the day and theres a big busy bee at Moni and Petes house.....doing stuff like cleaning out the gutters, gardening, getting loads of fire wood, etc etc etc. So I'm heading over to see what we can do.

    Have a good one and I shall catch you all later :)

    I still remember jumping up and down and screaming "oh my god!!" and Dallas looking at me, rolling his eyes and saying "What's wrong with you?" I just smiled and said "never mind". :D

    Original. It was written for the movie, Big Fish. The movie was a bit lame though.

    Really? I loved that movie! My sister and mum and dad didn't though.

    Kylie, how's your friend? Any feeling back in his body or is he definitely confined to a wheelchair now? Can he recognise his family now?

    I thought it was brilliant too. When it was finished I had to put on sunglasses for when I was walking out of the theatre :o

    When it started up I looked at my mate (the 3rd interrogator) and just said "Release" with the biggest grin on my face. Long Road and Release are the 2 most powerful songs to start a PJ show IMO. When they opened the 1st Sydney show in 03 with Long Road I started to well up. I looked down the row I was sitting in and 2 seats down from me was this guy, head in hands, sobbing like a baby

    I dont understand how people cry at different songs. Believe me, I'm not criticising you at all for it because I've heard of people that do....I just don't get it.

    If I saw a grown man sobbing like a baby to a PJ song with his head in his hands I think I'd just stare at him thinking "wake up to yourself! It's just a song!"

    :o

    Leigh was about 26 when he saw Big Fish and his father died when he was 20 but I don't think Leigh really grieved properly. WELL, after Big Fish finished he cried and cried and cried and I thought "fuck, he's having some sort of break down!!" I'd never really seen him cry properly in the 5 years before that movie.

    Then our 10 year old dog died around the same time and he cried and cried and cried. Big Fish and our dog dying got out all those emotions he'd been unknowingly bottling up for years. He cries more than me now at movies and sad shit on tv etc. You should have seen him at King Kong at the movies! FUCKING HELL! I managed to sit there dry eyed -- JUST! I hate crying at the movies.
