Watch Your Thoughts, They Become Words
“Watch your thoughts, for they become words.
Watch your words, for they become actions.
Watch your actions, for they become habits.
Watch your habits, for they become character.
Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.”
This quote was presumably written by a man named Frank Outlaw,
however the source has not been confirmed.
Day 2 - The Beggining of the End
Day 2 - The Beggining of the End
15 July 2009
Finally! The day I wished for a long time had arrived.
After lunch I went with my friend Jose Pereira to the O2 Arena and arrived there about 3:00 PM.
The nin.com pre-sales / NIN Donor Packages were still closed so i had the time to check inside the O2 (I must say that Nando’s is everywhere!!!).
Though the delivery of the tickets were supposed to be at 3:00PM i guess that they started delivering about 4:30 PM / 5:00 PM (?) I’m not sure.
Around 6:00 PM we entered inside the arena for the meet and greet.
Though we had no soundcheck i must say we had a nice chat with Trent and the guys and did a group photo with the other fans on that room.
I also had a special chat with Leo Herrera regarding the interview to NINPT.com. Looking forward for his message though.
The photos I took look blurred because I couldn’t focus very weel because of the movement.
After that, it was time to hit the toilets and grab something to eat before hitting the GA.
Mew were a surprise. I’ve seen them a few years ago at Paredes de Coura and I enjoyed a lot this new approach.
Will certainly listen to them in a non distant future.
Jane’s Addiction gave us a hell of a show! The sound from the guitar of Dave was amazing. It ripped the O2 in pieces!
About NIN.. I really can’t say anything. What a night! I will miss this energy from live gigs. This was my 6th NIN show and I’ve never seen NIN putting so much on the stage.
If you guys are wondering if you should see NIN … just go! Don’t miss this experience for anything!!!
Now I’m Nothing + Terrible Lie, Heresy, I’m Afraid of Americans, Gave Up, The Fragile, The Big Come Down, The Downward Spiral, the special appearance of Gary Numan and last but not least: HURT!
The crowd sang in one unique voice. A “duet” with Trent that I will never forget. It clearly ripped of my skin. What a way to say goodbye.
Last words from Trent on stage for the geeky fellows that live everything under a conspiracy:
If I could start again
a million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way…
a million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way…
The Videos
there’s a lot of videos and photos now on the youtube and at the nin boards from fellow NINers.

Arrived London around 4.30 PM and decided to put my plan into action. But things got mixed and I decided to make an experiment. Got off on Piccadilly Circus and walked through those streets with Nine Inch Nails - Ghosts on my iPod. I’ve seen many things and people expressions that I couldn’t capture with my cell phone. I guess i have to return there to finish the job with my DSRL.
