For those who know me, knows that I am not a very emotionalĀ person, my emotions hide away deep under my skin, emotionally retarded ifĀ you will.Ā So how do I explain in words that my wish just came true? A moment I haveĀ been longing for, for over a decade has just come true, Ā I am left numb.
AĀ bunch of geniuses called Linkin Park has managed to put the words to myĀ emotions, helping me cope with my trials and tribulations, pulling me out ofĀ my darkness. They have been with me through my highs and lows, where loveĀ and friends were few at times their music helped me to deal with myĀ inabilityĀ to express myself.
Unfortunately I wasn’t able to meet with them, really heartbroken as I wouldĀ have loved to express my gratitude to them, I would have probably burst outĀ crying, and LeanneĀ doesn’tĀ cry!!!. I did however manage to get myself in theĀ photo-pitĀ right in front of the stage for the first 3 songs.
Utterly overwhelmed, I had to do a few thingsĀ simultaneously, take stunningĀ pics! Rock out! Take in the moment, I was 1m a away from my rock idols! I stood in awe and IĀ felt a tear run down my cheek….
They exceeded all of my expectation, brilliant awesome and stupendous areĀ all understatements. IĀ don’tĀ think I will ever, unless they visit SA again,Ā experience such a revolutionary moment in my lifetime! Unless FreddieĀ MercuryĀ miraculouslyĀ jumps onto a stage!
To all of the SA fans in the stadium, you guys rocked! When the skied filled with lights I was standing in awe of you the fans!
I walked away with my prize, photos that will immortalise this moment!
Did I forget to mention that we got rained on. Hailed on, was soaking wet,Ā lost half of my ticket! Luckily I found it!!! Ā Hahaha Priceless! And allĀ worth it!!!
Linkin Park you define rock!! I Love you, Chester, Mike, Mr Hann, Brad, Rob & Dave! And yes you absolutely deserve theĀ EMA best rock group award!!!! And a Special thanx to Adam RuehmerĀ for helping me with my camera š
Fantastic Leanne! Love these!
Thank you so much Shelley!
