My daughter started chirping about the Boston Marathon over dinner tonight because, as she happily told us, one of her teachers was running it today. So ALL the kids have been talking about the race over lunch, including at least one other (two other?) schoolmates whose dads were also running. She obviously hadn't heard about the explosions. Had a huge faked smile on my face until we got home and I could check the school's twitter account. The teacher had checked in, saying that they'd finished the race shortly before the bombs went off, but "was very chaotic here". No idea about the other parent(s). Not sure what the school is going to say tomorrow. Sent the kidlet to bed before we turned on the news, but told her that "there was an explosion at the race, but [] is ok". She seemed far more interested in trying out her new squeaker voice and bouncing than asking further questions, which is fine by me as I'm at a loss at what to say. Between today's bombing, the Newtown elementary school shootings, and last week's Holocaust Rememberance Day, I'm finding myself trying to explain stupid, senseless, evil deaths more often to a small child than I'm comfortable with. I'm bad at this. I don't know how to explain because *I* can't understand why. Except that sometimes humans can just be ruthlessly insane. Today started so happy, and now the happiness feels sucked out of everything leaving nothing but gray. We humans can be a horrible species. I'm sorely tempted to pour myself a drink, expect it solves absolutely nada. Kicking the wall fixes nada. Gloomily anticipating about how this stupid situation is going to affect yet more stuff in our daily lives fixes nada. Hate this. Hate this. Hate this.  |

I should have warned that I was up close the stage so the sound would be blown out when I was streaming. Sorry that I was forgot to mention... You know that after 12 hours of queuing and finally got the to see Adam so up close I was just so happy and wanted to share the 'live' moment with you guys... Next time I'm not gonna be streaming if I am this close up again.. I was thrilled just to be able to see Adam. I could see what he was wearing and could watch his and the dancers' movements. I could hear some of the songs and Adam talking. I don't know whether you were a fan back during the 2009 Idol tour, but many of us were glued to live stream videos that looked like colorful wavy lines in a snow storm and audio so indistinct that we called it mermish, mermaids/mermen talking/singing underwater. A live stream helps us share some of the excitement and sense of community that is part of an Adam Lambert concert. Thank you for taking the time and trouble to share the concert with us. |
