We all know about my trials and tribulations with KROCK so this story should be of no surprise. As you all remember, I was lucky enough to win Beastie Boy tickets for October 9th's show so October 7, I decided to email my contact at KROCK promotions to inquire about my tickets. When I first won the tickets, they said they would contact me with info but with 2 days to go, I was getting a little nervous. October 8th rolls around and still no word so I decide to call the station and ask. Of course the guy I need to talk to (the same guy who handle my Coldplay Grand Prize) is not available so they say to call back if no one calls me back in an hour...great. So an hour and change later, I receive a call telling me that I have to meet them at the KROCK van by MSG the night of the show. I ask where my seats are and they tell me it's part of the surprise.?
Now my imagination is running rampant with the hopes of backstage passes to make up for the incessant bullshit I have to deal with as a supposed "winner." The night of the concert rolls around and I go searching for this KROCK van and come up empty. I decide to eat dinner first to give them some time to get there (maybe they are stuck in traffic). So as I walk down the block, I finally spot this pick-up truck that says "KROCK" on it. Not what I had in mind when they said "KROCK Van" but regardless, I grab my tickets and off to the show I go. We miss the 2 opening acts of Bob Moore's Amazing Mongrels (a dog show) and Talib Kwali because we are caught up in the electrifying Yankee/Twins game but when we finally get to our seats, we are thoroughly satisfied with the closeness to the stage and I must say, the Beasties will continue to go down as one of the best live performers around. I currently hate New York but the Yankees and the Beasties made me proud to be a New Yorker. Isn't funny how easily drugs and alcohol can change your perspective of work by making you erase it for that short period of your weekend.
My stress all seems to disappear with the simple touch of an animal. Another reason why pets are better than kids.
Raise a pet, not a dumb ass money draining kid!
RANT #1- Why do we even care? Bush and Kerry could be two of the dumbest presidential candidates ever and guess what, one of them has already been our president for 4 years. so basically this election is to pick the guy who will do the least harm to this country and i guess the rest of the world (somehow we manage to get involved in everyone's business and give out billions of dollars to other countries, while in our country the homeless get pushed aside, schools get less and less money every year and are expected to do more........)
RANT #2- Our concerns don't matter! i guess the purpose of a debate is to say as much as possible but not answer a god damn thing (speaking of god, i thought there was supposed to be a separation of god and state. how come every time bush talks i get blessed by god). At least we learned something from the debate, like we are screwed if either guy has to talk or make decisions as president.
RANT #3-The issues!!!! I know I am satisfied with the issues both candidates have decided to run with. Are you? the number one issue throughout this whole race was Who had (b/c they obviously don't have theirs anymore) the biggest set of balls when they where in the military. it really is the only thing that really matters, if one of them could prove it, i would definitely vote for him....oh by the way, that's probably how half this country is voting anyway.
RANT #4- I wanna be president!!!! Just because you want to be president doesn't mean you should. its kinda funny that it really doesn't come down to how smart or resourceful you are, if you want to be president all you have to do is have a rich family with rich friends (presidents are great fund raisers when it comes to helping themselves campaign) and have some people tell you what to say and your in.
RANT #5 VOTE but it doesnt matter
I was busy watching more important things like the Yankee game so I have no idea who the better candidate is but I am voting anyway because I get a day off if I show my voting stub. We are all screwed anyway and another president will not make my life any better...unless it's me!
My plan of getting to work late was foiled by an 8am ring and run. I thought it was some sort of emergency so I ran down 3 floors in my boxers to check the front door and no one was at the door. Bastards! So when I tried going back to sleep, I just laid there wide awake for ten minutes so I decided I would just get ready for work even though I had told everyone I was coming in late to make up for my staying late the day before. So when I get into work I figured I would just leave early to make up for my unpaid overtime. I wind up leaving only a half an hour early and that is when Chew's Law came into effect. I get to the front door of my apartment and search frantically for my keys. It turns out that I left them in my other jacket, so I end up sitting outside for an hour waiting for my roommate to come home. I blame work for all of Life's misery.
Why is Britney Spears so dumb? She got married, wants a kid and wants to change her last name. Why can't she see what everyone in the world is thinking...that they are going to divorce in a few hours? If I were her husband (whatever his name is, who cares), I would get some Britney Porn lovemaking on tape for that poor rainy day when no one remembers you...whatever your name is (Mr. Backup Dancer Daddy).
Closer...Find comfort in your job because there is no escape...or just find a way to screw your company to balance out the screwing they do to you. Thank god for the internet or else we would all have to do a full day's worth of work.
