Facebook fail...LMAO





This seriously makes me laugh every time I see it! How can people be so stupid?! Nevermind. This just showed me. I've seen this posted on just about every epic fail site I found. It's funny because one of my friends was asking our boss if she could add him on Facebook. He respectfully said no. She was like I don't understand why. HAHA! This is why!! If we're having a bad day of course we're gonna talk about it! Twitter, Facebook, Myspace (wait, does anyone still use Myspace?), anywhere and everywhere we're gonna post it. Well I am anyway. This post seriously made LOL. Gotta love it!

It's funny...

Today I had the day off...it was a beautiful day outside so what did I do? I stayed inside and played on the computer. What a nerd. I basically spent the better part of my day searching Fresno's twitter pages, looking up blogs, and trying to become more informed with what's going on in Fresno. I recently read a post on the Fresno Beehive and thought "Hey that's me!!" It wasn't me, but I had felt like that a few times myself. I thank Twitter for introducing me to some pretty cool people, music, and just about anything else Fresno has to offer. Although I'm not in anyone's "in crowd" I still jump from social circle to social circle and see what's going on. I'm not from Fresno originally and trying to find things to do... things the "locals" do had been hard. I'm starting to embrace this city for all it has to offer. What's there to do for a single 30 year old?

Concert time again

Its that time again. An end of Winter/Spring season full of amazing music and rockin' concerts!

In less than two weeks I will be headed to San Diego to see The Material. Two nights of The Material! I have become enamored with their music. From the music to the vocals, everything about them is amazing. Lyrically their music touches me in so many ways. They are currently unsigned which I just can't comprehend because they are THAT good! If you don't believe me, check them out for yourself. Follow them on TWITTER @TheMaterial

In mid-May I have another busy month of road tripping it to So Cal for concerts. First off there's Paramore. They are going to be playing in Bakersfield, which isn't quite So Cal but close enough. I'm looking forward to hearing their old hits from the Riot! album. The new album Brand New Eyes is a good album too. It was produced by the same guy who did my favorite Green Day Album Dookie. Off the new album the songs I'm looking most forward to hearing are Brick by Boring Brick, Playing God, Ignorance, Careful, and Decode (for my Twilight fix).

At the end of May I will be traveling to San Diego, yet again, to see Cobra Starship. I love their music! I don't even know how to categorize them. They don't seem to fit into any one category. I can listen to their ¡Viva la Cobra! over and over. The same has become true with Hot Mess, their latest album. Usually my criteria for purchasing an album is liking at least five songs. They far surpass that minimum. In October I saw Cobra in San Francisco. They were amazing live! I ended up buying tons of merch to sport them everywhere. Check them out if you haven't already.

Locally I have really started favoring one band in particular. A band called Down Word. Their twitter page describes them as an "Alternative rock/hip-hop hybrid." I can't remember exactly how I started listening to their music, but I found a video on their myspace that sealed the deal. Last Fall was the first time I got to see them play live. Their live show is awesome! I don't know them personally, but I've seen them around before and after the show... it's like Beyonce and Sasha Fierce. The lead singer especially. He seems all quite and unassuming, but when he hits the stage it's like wow that's the same guy. Their stage presence is ridiculously impressive. I have now seen them a few times live and can't wait until the next time. Each show impresses me more and each show I try and bring new people with me so they can experience them. They have new music out now and keep coming up with new stuff. I look forward to their album release sometime in April. CHECK THEM OUT!! Follow them on TWITTER @DownWord Also check their myspace for show dates although you'll probably see me tweet about them.

Blink 182 Concert

I know this is a little late. On Monday I went and saw Blink 182. I have been a fan of them since they're first or second album (Pre-Travis Barker). I remember when I went go their CD, The Dude Ranch. I played that CD over and over. Dammit was favorite as with most people. I was never able to see them in concert back then so imagine my surprise when they reunited. I wasn't sure if I should see them or not. In fact I even tweeted about it to see what other people thought. GO was the response from most. So I did just that. I'm so glad I was able to go. This was one of the BEST concerts I've ever been to. I had an awesome time! Travis, Tom and Mark rocked it!! They sang and performed their hearts out! All the past hits came out that night! Their encore was ridiculously good! Travis was air lifted above the stage all the while playing his drums. He was being tipped and turned, spinning above us...never missing a beat! He was Awesome! I was in awe of how freakin good he was. Then Tom and Mark came out...and of course they sang Dammit. I sang with them at the top of my lungs!! It was an amazing experience!
