Wanderings of Nothingness

As most of you know, this concert was streamed live on youtube.com for all the world to experience, and Bono and the boys played up to the hype. A crowd of over 95,000 showed up to support the boys from Dublin, Ireland. Let me first say that I was a bit disappointed to find out that the Black Eyed Peas were the opening act for U2, but pleasantly surprised with their performance. The energy and the enthusiasm shown through in their performance. Maybe the fact that most of the band came from Los Angeles had to do with their energy. Still wished The Muse opened up for them as with the earlier shows on the tour, but oh well.

Sorry for not updating my blog lately. A couple weeks ago, I caught the flu bug during my vacation. Two days prior to my vacation I had to call in sick, never had to do that before. I've never ever been so sick in my life. I was literally in bed for those two days with a fever, body aches and cough. Let me rephrase that, not body aches, but muscle cramps.... every single muscle was cramping up on me, even muscles I didn't knew I had were cramping up on me. I had to take pain meds for 5 days straight just to get out of bed. The cramps hurt so much that even turning over in bed was a chore to do. Never in my 41 years have I had so much pain to deal with. All this occurred 2 days after I took my flu shot. Whether or not it had something to do with my illness is still up in the air. Even today I still have a slight cough. Oh, I went to see my doctor to get me tested for H1N1 and it was negative, but that flu bug really kicked my ass!
