I know there was a thread about things like this somewhere in the maze of threads but I can't seem to find it, so I apologize in advance for opening a new one.
*Long random story*
Yesterday I was feeling kind of sad and worried because my coworker (who's also my friend) is going through a very bad time. Anyway, I was feeling low, so I went to a department store because I had to get a present for my niece for Children's Day (I don't know if that's cellebrated in other countries, but buying presents for kids is always nice). Since I couldn't find what I was looking for, I tried asking some of the salespeople that work there (a woman and a man). The thing is, both of them ignored me completely. I was talking directly to them, standing face to face, and they acted like they didn't see me or hear me. I couldn't believe it, but I swear, I was like "Excuse me, may I ask you something?" and they acted like I didn't even exist. They were just standing there behind a counter looking blankly at the place as if it was empty (I was the only one there). I tried to get their attention for a few minutes, but with no success.
So I left and went to another department store and this time a lady did answer my question... but she intentionally never looked at me. And it's not like she was bussy doing something else, she was just standing there.
I never felt more invisible in my life. I managed to buy what I wanted to get and when I was about to leave the store... Follow The Light started!
I couldn't believe it! It was a good thing I was invisible, because the look on my face must have been absurd. I couldn't help but smile. The song couldn't have come in a better time. So I stayed in the store and pretended to be very interested in some dart shooting toy guns until the song finished.
I really needed that :o).
That's reason number Ihavenoideawhichwhoscounting why I love Travis: their music is always there when you need it.
I totally agree with you, Ju! Travis always make and save my day with their music :o).
And for what it's worth I'm here, very far I know, looking you right in the eye, paying attention to all you have to say and then giving you a big, huge hug :o).
Children's Day? Seriously, you are the cutest country ever.
We have that one on Mexico too, it's in April 30 though. I used to get tons of candy on that date :oD. Even now that I'm 22 my sisters and my mom give me a chocolate bar or something ;o).
And now that I think about it, Follow The Light is on The Invisible Band. Everything's related... Nevermind, too much free time at work :oP.

I can't believe you don't have Children's Day either! I used to get some amazing stuff when I was a kid (meaning until I was like 20 ;oP).
Friendship Day, Children's Day, Sweetness Week... I'm starting to appreciate our holidays and traditions even more now that I know they don't exist everywhere, lol.
We're the cutest country ever until you meet some of our charming, polite, respectful and friendly salespeople ;o)

We have Grandparents Day too, but it's not an actual holiday, we don't do anything that day either, and most people don't cellebrate it. There are days for everything in Argentina :oP. But Friendship Day, Children's Day and Sweetness Week are popular dates and everyone cellebrates them. Children's Day is every second Sunday in August.
Nice dreaaam Juli!!! I totally agree with you... Travis makes me smile. A couple of nights ago, I was boring watching TV, nothing was on, zapping, when suddenly I got to Much Music...Closer was on. Ahhh that certainly made my night... Huge smile on my face. After it finished, I turned off the tv and dozed off : )
I’m dealing with some stuff in my life, and it’s not easy. When my “friends” keep bulling me for how I look, and who I am. They think I’m sick for listening to Travis. They always make me feel small, like I’m a freak or something. And one day I said to them that they had to respect me for who I am, and stop saying I have serious problems. But that really didn’t make them stop. They just keep on and on every day. It’s hard, and I hate to go to school. My teacher is a “care face” guy, he always complain how week I am, and I care too much that people say to me. When it really hurts. I thought they were my friends. I really don’t know what to do.
But listening to Travis really help they give the strength that I need to carry on. How they inspire me to not give up, and believe in myself that I can do it. And they seem so nice, like they really care for their fans. I don’t think I would hold on so long if I hadn’t someone to look up to. Their music is more than just singing a song, and playing some chords. It's a huge inspiration for us all.
Thank you so much Travis, you have really change my life.
(Sorry if sounds stupid. I just needed to let it out.)

It wasn't a dream, Leti, it actually happened. Lol!
Aww! They played Closer on Much Music? It's always great when it happens :o)

You should get rid of those so-called "friends" who make fun of you. I would rather have no friends instead of ones who constantly put me down. Also, teachers are supposed to support their students. I hope you are able to make new friends, maybe some who like Travis:)
