Break Almost Over? :(

Well, either way, happy earth day.

Now you're probably wondering what stories of awesomeness I have that occurred over the week. Well, actually, I've done a whole lot of nothing so far.

Or have I? I just got a text from my friend Kaitlyn (I've mentioned her before, she has the blog Life, Living, and Poetry) inviting me to go to the movies with some of our other friends. So I might not have another boring April Break at home. Excited face!

I also want to take the time to rave about this new CD I bought earlier this week. It's the soundtrack to the Broadway show American Idiot. Now, I was a little skeptical at first, but then a week or two ago the color guard performed to a song off of this (21 Guns, to be specific). And it. Was. AMAZING. I had to get it. Being a huge fan of Green Day, I still thought it would be weird without Billie Joe singing it, but I got it and then it was awesome! I hear it will be a movie, which is a must-see for me when it comes out. you're probably wondering why to get this if you already have the original album. Well, reason one: there are several songs on it that weren't on the original, like several off of "21st Century Breakdown," (including combining one with an American Idiot song to make it sound completely different (in a good way), but I don't want to say which so I don't spoil it), two B-sides released in Europe, and another song that Billie Joe wrote when he was 19 but never actually recorded. Reason two: the new voices make the songs sound amazing. Reason three: oh don't just take my word for it, either see the show or buy the CD. 5 stars!

Wow. I should be a critic. I should start a blog where I just review stuff. I'll think it over.
