I went and saw Bono and the Irish boys of U2 saturday night in Philly

Journeyman · May 16, 2005

It was quite a show, I was somewhat surprised at some of the material they covered and the show was only 1 hour and 55 minutes long....it was at The Wachovia Center, not a bad seat in that place, great venue!

I went with this girl I know from Philly who is a big U2 fan as well, she paid 390 dollars for the two seats.

The had an awesome light/lazer show and the encore was spectacular....has anyone else seen them yet on this tour?

The show opened with "City of Blinding Lights", followed up by "Vertigo" and "Elevation" in the middle of theconcert they went back and did a few oldies from "Boy" which I wasn't thrilled with and a few snipets of other songs that are not listed in the song list....But they really brought it home late with the encore :toast:

They will be back in Philly next sunday (very strange schedule) I may try and go see them again, even at 200 bucks a pop its worth it.

jman

your light green muscle shirt probably looked great reflecting off the light/laser

jman ive been working out hard this year but now getting into the diet part of bodybuilding. unbelievable! alot of protein/ low carbs. i got leaner but i look bigger w the cuts. ive got 2 veins sticking out on both of my biceps. ive got top abs cut but still need extra cardio to get a sixpack. i cant believe it

8am breakfast- 6 eggwhites w/ sliced sausage patty/black coffee

snack-cup of oatmeal

snack banana

lunch 2 chicken breast or half of roasted chicken from walmart

dinner 2-3 pork chops or rest of roasted chicked/banana

ive been on this strict diet for 3 weeks

ive been taking a multi vitamin/ gallom water per day

i still feel strong so ill continue until i feel tired/weak

i workout 5 times and take the weekend off

i do the whole body once a week

i am taking so little carbs i only crap once every 2 days

i probably add more carbs in the morning/lunch in 3 weeks

how is your program doing

Journeyman · May 16, 2005

not doing good at all, to be honest...in fact I am in perhaps my worst shape of alltime!

I need to get motivated, and quick! It doesn't take long once I get it back in gear, I just haven't had it of late!

Going to lift right now actually!

Looks like you are rolling De Niro, we need more inspiring posts to get us off our a$$e$! :suomi:

DENIRO · May 16, 2005

jman

i said to myself why workout then take off from workingout

it takes 5 times harder to lose the weight/cut

this is a lifestyle change for me brother

no bread/pasta/sugar(soda) junk food

when i go out i order steak and veggies

and when i do drink i do extra cardio the next day

Journeyman · May 16, 2005

I think I have hit an age were i can't just turn it on like I use to! I have slipped, I use to be able to turn it on like it was nothing, not the case the past few months...I had a rough winter dealing with this crazy woman, who put a lot of stress in my life...I have yet to fully recover....

you are right though, why give back all the hard work?

I drink a lot of cokes...

Journeyman · May 16, 2005

BTW- did you get paid by Pan Am?

DENIRO · May 16, 2005

yes i received 76% from them because of the persistance of roberto/tow

thanks for asking

never had to deal w/ robbery like that before. i really couldnt believe it was actually happening in this time of age. boy what a experience.

the older you get should cause you to have even more motivation. im 30 and i told myself this is a number and i am going to be in the best shape of my life.

Journeyman · May 16, 2005

I HAVE GROWN TO REALLY APPRECIATE STING AND THE POLICE :suomi:

SPEAKING OF HIM, WHERE HAS HE BEEN OF LATE?

<TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width="80%" border=0><TBODY><TR><TD vAlign=bottom><BIG>Sting honoured for outstanding musical contribution</BIG></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

Sting has been recognised for his outstanding contribution to music at the Brits Awards.

Kylie Minogue presented the one-time teacher with the award, telling the audience: "If he was still teaching, I'd be straight back to school."

Sting rounded off the show with hits including 'If I Ever Lose My Faith' and 'If You Love Somebody Set Them Free'.

He said: "This is for anyone who ever picked up a guitar, sat at a piano or opened their mouth to sing - music is its own reward. That's all I have to say."

He started off in The Police in 1977 with drummer Stewart Copeland and later Andy Summers.

Beginning as a punk band, they eventually won a mainstream fanbase and with 'Message In A Bottle' began a run of five number one singles.

Sting has also done some acting - most notably in box office hit Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels - and earlier as a mod in Quadrophenia.

His fundraising for rainforests and human rights has also been a major part of his life.

He is touring and playing lots of Police songs currently. He just played Irving Plaza in NYC. He has Josh Freese from A Perfect Circle, Devo, Offspring and Vandals fame drumming for him.

thanks jman

Degenerate · May 17, 2005

JM, you don't like the album, 'Boy'? Hell, after all this time it is still my favorite. Have been listening to 'October' alot recently too. Lyrics not nearly as sophisticated but damn they rock. Would love to hear "Tomorrow" live.
