ok, nashville...what's up.

 

So, I am on a bit of a soapbox these days.  And, I'm pretty sure most of the people in my life (including myself) are guilty of putting the box in my path.

Here it is...WHAT is the deal with people always wanting COMP TICKETS TO EVERYTHING?!  Let me put it this way:  Let's say you have a good friend who you would pay money to go have dinner or drinks with.  You probably just dropped at least $20-$30 on that endeavor...and that happens often, right?  SO.  Why are you unwilling to spend $10-$20 on supporting said friend in their LIFE, their BUSINESS, their DREAMS, etc.?! And, for the most part, the people asking for comp tickets HAVE THE MONEY to buy the ticket.  It's the college students who are paying for the tickets that could use a comp ticket every once in a while.  ARGH!!!

A lot of my close friends are artists, musicians, writers, etc.  Why WOULDN'T I want to invest in their life?  It seems a bit selfish to think that just because you know someone, you should get their product and their time for free.  I wouldn't walk into a clothing store that a friend owns and just take clothes, so why would I TAKE tickets from my friends in the biz?!

Told you I was on a soapbox!  And, for the record, I have been SUPER guilty of this in the past.  Free tickets, free books, free CDs, free swag...whatever I could get.  I just realized a while back that I was guilty...and now I am striving to be a little more responsible and RESPECTFUL.

Ok, I'm done.  Thoughts? :O)

a perfect night...

My friend, Cari, and I went to see Snow Patrol and Coldplay tonight.  Anyone who has anything bad to say about Coldplay (or Snow Patrol, for that matter) needs to see this show....what an AMAZING musical night.  I honestly can't find ANYTHING to complain about...even the $130 ticket!  It was totally worth it.

I've posted a bunch of pics on my website...check them out!

Hope your night was just as fabulous!!!

 

 

observations from Fido

1.  I thought I saw Orlando Bloom outside the window.  It was not him, however.  My heart DID race for the minute I thought it WAS him, however.

2.  If you are obviously a dork, please don't stand outside the front window with your fake nice shades and your wannabe tight jeans while singing along to your iPod and smoking a cigarette.  Actually, even if you are part of the "cool people" crowd, don't do it.  You look dumb.  I won't post your picture because you look so dumb.

3.  Job hunting at Fido is WAY more interesting than job hunting at my house.  Plus, as of June 23rd, I will no longer have cable or internet.  Cutting voluntary expenses OUT.

4.  I have noticed a lot of "new-fangled" SUV's on the road.  Do we REALLY need MORE of these types of vehicles polluting our world?  I have an SUV, but it's really just a box with a car engine.  So, I do not feel bad for calling the SUV drivers of the world out.  When will we learn?  Or have we....GM.

5.  The Americano at Fido is good, but doesn't hold a candle to my decaf Americano at Ugly Mugs.  East side, representin'.  My brie and apple sandwich hit the spot, though!

That is all I have observation-wise from Fido.  I have decided that observations are good...they are free.
