Please....Do tell...

Welcome to another exciting moment of Delilah's Life...

On this episode we discuss the social gatherings amongst citizen of the same musical genre,
as well as the most recent addition of ceramic masterpieces to Delilah's Gallery.
Enjoy.....


Warped Tour was Amazing!!
My friend Nix & I went together and I believe I spent over $100, their were some amazing non-profits their that i had to take Part in such as:
1. To Write Love on Her Arms (One of my favorite Non-Profits)
2. Peta ( although i love meat..sry animals)
3. 11:11 Am (started with Andrew from Jack's Mannequin)
4. Unite the United
5. Music saves Lives

You know people assume that people that are interested in rock are all about drugs and are essentially bad people, when in fact this is a misconception.

Don't get me wrong though,
there are people who are led down a misguided path and end up destroying their lives as an outcome.
The people that inspire me most are the ones that see they have a problem and overcome it.
Gerard way from My Chemical romance, Travis from Gym Class Heroes and Max Bemis from Say Anything. They are truly inspiring.

Also i wanted to share with you some ceramics i painted, Forgive the horrible lighting of the photos.

So now For the Pictures!!!

Nix and I are shoe-tastic! Nix being Emo
Me trying to look cool in massive amounts of heat....
5 minutes later....
Wow, your at a Warped Tour in a Cast!! ur so hardcore!!
Oh Max....how i adore thee...
The guys working hard for the fans!
It's Katy Perry!

Amazing set by Automatic Love Letter!!
Shwayze...
A star ornament I painted... the front
The back....hehe Random Picture I took while i was driving...

The Beat goes on..... and on....



I am super excited, This weekend is Warped Tour!!!
I have been waiting months for this!
I was in my car the other day listening to Z100 and I heard them say they were giving away tickets to warped tour.

I was like "WHAT!?!" So now I am thoroughly pissed off, Now I have to be around all of these little poser punks that a year ago they were listening to Usher and R-Kelly, now rock is the new cool thing to listen to.

Listen be true to yourself and don't try to be something your not just cause its cool.

That's one thing I could never stand, for years when I was younger I was teased because I was different, but when the different became cool every one pretended they liked it before everyone else. If you enjoy something its that simple, you enjoy it.

Ill never forget what one of my cousins said to me once:

My family and I were in the car on our way home from shopping, we were passing a art supplies store that I have previously passes, I had to be around 12 at the time. I turn to my mother and say "Hey mom one day I want to go there" My cousin turns and says "That store is for a real artist, your not a real artist".

I have always been one to try new things (that should be evident) but don't knock me for it. If you want to do something but are afraid of what other people might think.

Screw em, Do it.

What do you have to lose? Real friends support you, they don't look down on you.
That when you know you have great friends. If I were turn to my friends and say I want to go parasailing, they would most likely say "So when are we going". I have Amazing friends. In that way I am so so lucky.


*Side Note: I am now an amazing Artist! ^_^

I Love Music....Lyrics

I started thinking about some songs I love and I wanted to share some of my favorite lines from those songs:
Sorrow drips into your heart through a pin hole,
just like a faucet that leaks and there is comfort in the sound.
~Death Cab for Cutie

The road outside my house, Is paved with good intentions.
Hired a construction crew, 'Cause it's hell on the engine.
~Fall Out Boy

You did me wrong, I grinned and played along
Those days are gone, does this confession turn you on?
~Say Anything

When you go, Don't ever think, I'll make you try to stay
And maybe when you get back, I'll be off to find another way.
~My Chemical Romance

Say you want to let me go and that's gonna have to end
You can Go and getta new boyfriend But you'll never getta better boyfriend
Love just aint our way but, You know I don't pretend Imma go and getta new girlfriend
Imma get myself a better girlfriend
~Tyga

How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year
~Pink Floyd

I'd walk through hell for you.
Let it burn right through my shoes,
These soles are useless without you.
Through hell for you let the torturing ensue,
My soul is useless without you.
~Say Anything

Your heart is a river that flows from your chest through every organ,
your brain is the dam and I am the fish that cant reach the cord.
~Death Cab for Cutie

So one last touch
and then you'll go
and we'll pretend that it ment something so much more.
But it was vile, and it was cheap
and you are beautiful but you dont mean a thing to me.
~Death Cab for Cutie

I know that you want me to want you I want to
But I can't forgive you
So when this is over don't blow your composure baby
I can't forget you
~Mayday Parade

Thats just the few song lyrics i could remember, I think all of them are strong in their own way. If you couldnt tell...I love Death Cab for Cutie.^_^

All Geeked out...

I got home from my EMT class early on Monday night and I walk in to find my mother watching a show called " The Big Bang Theory" so I threw myself on the couch and started to watch it with her. Now I have a new favorite show. Apparently it was out a while ago but because of my crazy sched I never got to watch it. I miss watching TV.

Side Note:
There was a point for about a year where I was home doing absolutely nothing, I would wake up at Noon, go pick up my sister at 2:45, then I would lay around my house till 8 and then I would go hang out with my Ex (my BF at the time) or with my friends.Sometime I would even go to the gym. Life was so simple......

Back to The Big Bang Theory, so I was sitting on the couch watching the show and I was just laughing hysterically, My mother turns to me and says

"you know I have tried to watch this show a few times and I never really get half the things they are talking about, Do I have to be like you to understand it."

Whoa wait a Minute, what does that mean?? I don't know if that is a complement or an insult. Honestly, I stopped caring about how people perceive me, my Family/Friends know and love me and that's all that counts!

Here's a list of my fave shows:
1. Heroes
2. The Big Bang Theory
3. C.S.I: Las Vegas
4. How it's Made
5. True Life
6.Kyle XY
7. Greek
Question: T.V. Is it evil or entertaining... you be the judge.

For the future...

Since everyone around me is having babies, i decided what i want to name my son....He will be named Aidan Gerard Franco ( i realize that my child would probably have the last name of my husband, but i want them to have my last name.)
Also this way my son has the same initials as my father AGF, my initials are DGF, and my sisters are ADF, and my moms are NIBF (she hyphenates)....oh initials..... for a girl i have always loved Isabella or Bella.
Hm.....
I was thinking and my kids are going to be strange, only because i know the way i am and i have never once in my life been considered normal, i am spontaneous, crafty, i know random info, love comics, anime, cartoons, ninjas, taking pictures, drawing pictures, painting, super relaxed...although sometimes i get anxiety attacks... its like all my worries strike at once.
But...anyway...yeah thats all i have to say for now.....later!

Fear...

It is amazing how fear can stop you in your tracks. sometimes it is the most irrational feeling, but you can't help it. I was online a few minutes ago and i was looking up how to do a handstand, on the site they said most people couldn't do handstand because they were afraid of falling. Now lets take a step back, falling isn't so horrible when your standing on the ground, yeah it hurts a bit but its nothing that will damage you for life.
So i ask you: How many times have you let fear stopped you from doing something?
Don't get me wrong, I am not trying to say that i am not afraid of anything because that would be a lie, i am a chicken, but usually after my moment of irrational panic, i step up to the plate and not once have i ever regretted it. Try new things and you learn that you are capable of more then you ever though possible.
I know I am going to make fear less present in my life.
Just go for it.
What have you got to lose....Nothing.
