A tale of two Concerts.

Weight: 278

Today was a super mellow day, which was just what I needed. I stayed up pretty late last night trying to incorporate Twitter into my blog/facebook/existence. I am definitely not the typical "early adopter" of the whole social networking sphere -- I joined myspace right about the same time everyone joined facebook instead. So I'm kind of a lame-o like that. But I like the idea of being able to publish a short sweet little blurb on the fly and have it be visible from my blog, my facebook, and pretty much anywhere else the ten people who stalk me and have internet access can go to get their fix. The problem with that is the abuse of it. I see so many stupid "tweets" out there that it makes my head spin. So many users are like "Haha I just pooped LAWLSZZZZ@!!!!111!!!" And that's the extent of their news or other shared information. My intent is to use the twitter service as a means of relating news, links, or anything else I may find interesting to those who wish to follow me. Because if I think something is awesome, chances are, it is. Because I am awesome.

Plus I was thinking about times that may come up where I might do a weigh in, or have a fat-kid victory over a cheeseburger and a computer isn't immediately handy to blog about my adventures. Therefore, the whole twitter shenanigans can be used to relay that sort of information. This would have come in handy when I was in Seattle the couple times I was this week. I went to two concerts last week. My bro and I saw Coheed and Cambria on Saturday the 8th, and then I took my wife to see Paramore on the 12th.

On the trip to see Coheed I pigged out. I picked up a package of Cosmic Brownies from the store, had two bottles of Mountain Dew, and ate at this greasy diner which was named Donna's Diner on the sign outside, but the menus were labeled Mac's Smokehouse BBQ when we sat down to eat. Plus there were bullet holes in the windows. I could have died from the mis-labeled food or from street crime. So I ate a lot to feel the comfort that food gives me.

The Paramore concert however was a completely different endeavor entirely. Having the previous concert under my belt, and knowing I was traveling to roughly the same area, a little research beforehand did wonders. My wife and I picked up some Gatorade G2 and some Popcorn, Indiana popcorn for the drive over, ate at Red Robin for Lunch/Dinner, and bought a couple bottles of water from street vendors while waiting in line to get into the show. Even after the good sized burger and steak fries I'd eaten before the concert, my weigh-in the next day said I'd lost over a pound.

So you see, I could have kept all of you in the loop as stuff went down instead of telling you after the fact. Either way, both shows were awesome, and I survived to tell the tale. The only thing I regret is I didn't take pictures at either event. Oh well. There will be others I suppose.

Well, I better wrap this post up. I have to go in to work early tomorrow, so I better get going. Thanks for reading!
