The Most Confusing Concert Experience Ever.

Last week, Jessica scored some last minute tickets to see Panic! At The Disco. It was a sold out show so she got them just in time, and it was a pretty stinkin' awesome show. We didn't really know much about the opening bands, Foxy Shazam or fun., but I think it was unanimous that the music of all three bands was pretty much fantastic.

The only thing we didn't really get was the performance by Foxy Shazam.

And by didn't get, I mean we were flat out confused. And made uncomfortable. And generally in shock.

It looked like this:

The bass player was balancing his bass upside down on his hand and walking around. The trumpet guy was throwing his trumpet in the air then putting it on the ground and humping it. Keyboard dude would dramatically stand on his keyboard after every song and randomly during some songs. The guitar guy was just standing there playing with this ridiculously huge afro when the lead singer jumped on his shoulders and started humping the dude's head, then he (the singer) was running around the stage like a monkey on his hands and feet and doing sommersaults all over--- The drummer was the most normal dude out there and that's probably just because he was hiding behind the drumset.

To say the very least, it was stimulus overload for Jessica and me. We were like this:

~ UPDATE ~

Upon reading this, the Nerak laughed about how old Jessica and I appear to be in this post, us complaining about the music of today's youth and their wild ways and all.

I said, "Well, we WERE the oldest people there besides the parents who brought their kids... The kids in front of us were like 12!"

So now, I think we must've looked more like this at the concert:

Getting old is sad.

I'm Too Wimpy For A Badass Handshake

Last night I had class with my peeps.

Jessica and Joannah were greeting each other with some gnarly finger wiggling.

When I saw this, I was all,

To which Monica was like,

That being moderately successful (I'm not as hood as you'd expect, evidently), Monica decided we were ready to jump right into creating our own.

I guess that was my cue to mimic her and bump elbows. My bad. But Monica has patience and kept going.

And as her fist flew at my face, I realized at some unidentifiable point I had lost my interest in secret handshakes.

Elephants 101

Melissa is an artist. She draws elephants. Beautiful elephants.

Then she asked me to draw an elephant for her. The result?

Weee! That's me on an elephant!

Monica took pity on me and showed me how to doodle one that didn't look like a dog. Her version is on top. Mine... well, it's not so much an elephant as it is, ya know, a mutant with a mohawk.

PS: I drew this stuff on Monica's iPad2!! Ooooo. Anybody wanna buy me a Julymas present???

Keep the Change (heh, get it?)

The other day I swung by a famous fast food chain to purchase some tasty schmacos before class. I love schmacos. I'm not one to branch out and try new things when it comes to food but in the last year I discovered Cheesy Beefy Melts. They're rather awesome: cheese, meat, sour cream, a little bit of rice so you don't feel so guilty. Delicious.

So before class, I swung by the drive-thru and noticed that the menu looked different.

Look, lady. I don't know the difference between a Cheesy Beefy Melt and a regular Beefy Melt with cheese, and I don't understand the difference between a meal and combo.

I ended up with a Beefy Melt Combo, which is a Cheesy Beefy Melt meal with an additional taco, and guess what-- a Beefy Melt is exactly a Cheesy Beefy Melt.

You would think that story ends there.

Today, I was driving down the expressway and saw a billboard for Cheesy Beefy Melts. It looked like this:

Why would you remove the adjective "Cheesy" from the thing's name, then use it across TWO billboards to market the thing?!

*sigh*

This is love.

How I Almost Became A Scientist

Hi everybody!

Sorry it's been so long. Things have been crazy in the real world.



Fortunately all that stuff is over (for now.) You know what that means? Time for...

Yaaaaaaayyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've been keeping a list of awesome things that have happened since the last time I posted. I figure I'll sprinkle them here a little bit at a time.

So what's first on my totally excellent blog post list?? I thought since you all liked the story about Jeff so much, I'd include another one with him in it. I call it,
