back in jersey after spending a few days in baltimore for john's birthday. we had hot dogs!! it was a fun day. cooked out, sat around and goofed off, played some wiffle ball and rounded off the night with chain smoking and death-defying stunts.
last week i saw ben folds and rufus wainwright. my god, it was amazing. rufus' voice blew me away and ben, well, kicked ass!! i have never seen any performer w/ that much charisma and energy. guster was headlining, i wasn't that impressed. there was a kid that was sitting near us that was annoying the hell out of me. he reminded me of those obnoxious kids i hated in high school. what a douche. point is i came up w/ a list of rules for any concert goer to follow:
1. DO NOT wear a shirt of the band you are going to see. if i am at the show which you are attending and you did not follow this rule, i will make fun of you, a lot.
2. try to avoid buying t-shirts at the show, they are extremely over priced. if it is necessary to buy a t-shirt it must take place after the show.
3. DO NOT be the drunk dancing girl/guy that sings all of the lyrics off key, especially if you are w/ me.
4. try not to make out w/ 29 year-old drunk men, alicia.
5. you must make fun of annoying younger kids. this is a rule that i quite enjoy. embrace it, i think you would like it too.
6. keep talking to a minimal. this really, however, depends on the type of show. adjust accordingly.
7. DO NOT listen to the band you are going to see 24 hours before or after the show.
4th of july was spent w/ the family. i had a pretty good time entertaining the kids. there was this 11 yr old girl who was a bit strange, she told me about how she found her parents box of pornos and sex toys. she went on to name a few. i just changed the subject and pretended not to hear her.
my plans for the coming week are basically work and being a bum. i have my orientation for towson july 23rd. i pretty damn excited. i'm excited about transferring, i think i definitely made the right decision.
b-more kids holla.
