040; Noel Gallagher...AKA what a night!

On November 5th I had the pleasure to attend a special acoustic set at the newly named Virgin Mobile Mod Club, formerly known as the Mod Club, featuring the one and only Noel Gallagher. It was a private, pre show warm up to his performances at Massey Hall later in the week.

Mod Club

Virgin Mobile Mod Club: a mini profile

• 722 College Street, Little Italy Toronto
• Fits 600 people (floor, lounge-ish areas, balcony)
• Concert venue - one of my favourites because it's so small, sound is crisp, and there's no barricade separating you from the stage
• Night Club - Not familiar with their system but I know there are UK Underground Saturdays

So my expectations weren't extraordinarily high, although I expected something good because well it's Noel Gallagher, the better half of Oasis. The email invited me + guest to attend a 5 song acoustic set on the re-opening night. What did I get?

• A club full of middle age people - I'm 99% sure my friend and I were the youngest in the crowd
• drink ticket - thank you virgin mobile!
• An awesome view of the stage over all the tall men
• Grown men shouting "I love you Noel" between every song, to which the cool Noel replied" there's a lot of fucking love in this room."
• An 8 song set. He played:
• It's Good to be Free
• Talk Tonight - one of my favourite Oasis songs
• If I Had a Gun
• Supersonic
• Wonderwall - I was not expecting that. Thought he'd be tired of it. 
• AKA... What a Life
• Half the World Away
• Don't Look Back in Anger - soo good.
• A poster commemorating the night on my way out

I definitely got my email's worth.

50 Questions That Will Free Your Mind
16. How come things that make you happy don't make everyone happy?

Because not everyone appreciates (free) hugs the way I do. Some people don't like touching.
Because not everyone listens to the music that makes me feel happy. Some people listen to Pit Bull/Ke$ha/Jason-I-say-my-name-for-no-reason-Derulo.
Because not everyone savours the same foods I do. Some people are picky eaters not as open minded as I.
Because not everyone likes the same people I do. Some people haven't met the wonderful people I have or don't like certain types of people.

Happiness is a funny thing. I can't define it, but I know it exists. All I know is that it is different things to different people.

What makes you happy?

This song makes me very happy. 

038; [15/50 QTWFYM] escaping the mainstream, unintentionally

So I stumbled upon a website with a whole bunch of questions, 50 to be exact, that one can ask them self. I love talking about life and self, although it can be depressing sometimes Anyway, I scanned through the questions and I thought it would be kind of fun to answer them in this blog. So hope you enjoy my answers, and please feel free to leave YOUR answer in the comments. 

50 Questions That Will Free Your Mind
15. What's something you know you do differently than other people?

Think. I think differently than other people and other people think differently from me.
It's hard to think of something unique about myself because what I think is unique might not be unique at all.
It's much easier for me to think of something someone else does differently from other people. Instead of thinking about what I do differently from other people, I rather have something I trust point out what I do differently. Example: English teachers have pointed out I pronounce "ask", "water", and "God" differently from other Canadian-English speakers. Hmm... and I thought I spoke with a perfect Canadian-English accent.

*And now that I think about it, I have a bad habit of ending conversations with strangers/acquaintances  abruptly.
