WHAT!? YES! YES! YES! Here is a list of a few of my favorite things…
- The 3rd/4th of July
- Aliens
- Horror Movies
So far the movie Independence Day covered the first two, but now from the looks of it this movie might cover the last two… It’s an understatement to say that I am excited to see this.
So our fund raiser went off without a hitch. Seriously it was a lot better than I thought it would be, and that was mainly because of help from friends and family. Although, once everything was set up and time to go, the bands definitiely took over. Our last minute addition Gifts From Enola opened things up and immediately made JC and myself regret putting them on first. Sincerely the Management were tight and got some people moving around which sort of livened the place up. Then The Smyrk came on and began removing pillars from “the house” which lead directly into Bad Rabbits finishing the job and essentially “bringing the house down”.
Our friends who had never heard of either band were pretty impressed by their individual sounds (The Smyrk and Bad Rabbits), but Bad Rabbits definitely had the edge thanks to a Michael Jackson medly they threw in toward the end of their set. Unfortunately there was still another band going on later in the night who weren’t too happy about how JC and I scheduled things…
My good friend Brian from Walk Harbor City: (Durring Bad Rabbits set) Joe… why would you do this to us?
Me: Do what to you?
My good friend Brian from Walk Harbor City: Put us on after this band… we’re not this fun
Me: Yeah but you guys are real good, and a lot of people are here to see you.
My good friend Brian from Walk Harbor City: I hate you.
Me: You’ll be fine.
Turns out I was right, they played a great set; the only problem was that the energy in the building had already peaked for sure. But all in all it was a fun night, and as far as we know, everyone had a great time. Hopefully with the knowledge we have now on what to do and what not to do, we can do this again next year… bigger and better.
I’m very aware that it is sort of cheesey to have a 2nd comeback (insert Brett Favre joke), but I think this might be it. I finally have daily access to flawless computing power, and because of an epic run of blackjack at Foxwoods, I now have the money to see what the F is wrong with my laptop. Regardless its good to be back; let the mediocre blogging proceed.
Yeah, I said it. Demi Moore looks good! Still! If this picture, and the critically acclaimed, magnum opus of American cinematography “Striptease” isn’t enough for you to realize it, check out this recently taken photo of Demi at the beach, at age 46….Yes m’aam.
Oh, Polo Molina. I don’t know much about you. I know, from this story, that you are the manager / bouncer or something, of the Black Eyed Peas, and that you punched Perez Hilton in the face. I want to thank you Polo Molina for your service as a human being. You are truly a beacon of light in today’s rough times. Godspeed Polo Molina.
Finally someone did this. Where does this guy get off thinking he can prance around town making a living off of exploiting celebrities’ vulnerability and making off-color, sometimes offensive jokes about people. Not to mention he looks like a dick all while doing it. I get it, girls like it, its pop culture, blah blah blah. Screw Perez Hilton. This guy sucks.
This particular video is one of the most important, if not the most important videos of all time. It helped establish the ‘music video,’ from a historical aspect. Granted Freddie Mercury looks like some sort of strange woman in it, but hey what are you going to do? Dude had some pipes on him …Not to mention, when they re-did it for Wayne’s World, that was nothing short of totally awesome. So into the top 3 we go,
#3: Queen – Bohemian Rhapsody
I don’t want to sit here and say that no one on Earth is more American than us, but you would be hard pressed to find a group of people that put more time and effort into celebrating all that is American this weekend. Sure you may have had a cookout, and perhaps you even got clever and found an mp3 of Jimi Hendrix playing the Star Spangled Banner. Hey, good for you. I’m willing to bet you might have even organized a game of wiffleball, congratulations, seriously I mean it. But let me tell you how it went down in Lynn MA.
First of all, forget that stupid wiffleball crap. Real Americans play kickball.
Where did you go to pick your teams? The dining room? The Kitchen? Maybe a local dive bar?… We went to Foxwoods and had a pro style draft complete with a war room.
And you can keep you’re Jimi Hendrix version of the Star Spangled Banner (although it is incredible), we decided to go with Bill Pullman’s Epic speech from Independence Day to begin our opening ceremonies… And I haven’t even begun to stroke my ego.
How did you decide the home team? You flipped a coin? Thats cool. We had a 60 beer case race, for home field and a 3 run lead right off the bat. No big deal.
You’re kidding? You guys even got to drink beer in the field. Whoa. Our game features a rule that allows the base runner to count as an extra run for each additional beer he/she drinks. 5 beers on base = 5 runs.
Our team physician was a bottle of Dr. Mcgillicuddy, and everyone got seriously injured.
The team names were Rocky vs. Rambo.
The kickballs were red and blue.
Bruce Springsteen’s “Born in the U.S.A.” was played 11 times.
One kid dressed up as Billy Mays.
There was a motivational pregame speech given about hotdogs.
At one point apprx. 19 kids threw up simultaneously.
At no point was there ever a threat of terrorism.
After the game, we paraded through the streets in our Rocky vs. Rambo uniforms, with a banner honoring America and “Eye of the Tiger” on the radio.
And thats about it…
Except for the party we had that night hi-lighted by a game called Muscle Beach where a contestant shoots a Basketball from a porch and if they miss a mob of 10-20 people chant “Muscle Beach” all the way over to a weight bench where said contestant will do reps on the bench press while chugging beer and other assorted mixed drinks simultaneously… Ohh, and this was just on the 3rd of July…
If anyone thinks they can top the start to my weekend let me know, I could use a good laugh.
With our charity concert less than 6 weeks away, I want to remind anyone still reading this lame blog that we can still use your help! By using your networks, connections, and so on; it isn’t hard for anyone to contribute to this event, in one way or another. We aren’t asking for a lot here, just a minute of your day for you to ask yourself how you might be able to help. A little can go a long way when people get together for things like this.

Not going to lie, some of these are a lot worse than others. The difference between the top and the bottom is pretty vast.. For example, I Jessica Simpson looks great, but when I look at a photo of Donatella Versace, I feel guilty, like staring at a burn victim or something. One thing I will mention is that “Number 2″ on the list is by far the most horrifying, and I’d go as far as to say, if you have a weak stomach, to not look at it. Oh, number 1 is pretty obvious, but I don’t necessarily agree with it. Take a look for yourselves …
