about me

Practically imperfect in every way. Start with a lot of silliness. Mix in some insecurities and a handful of awkwardness. Add a pound of naivety, innocence, and child-like wonderings. Blend well. Half-bake and top off with a sprinkle of imagination and dollop of dreams. It’s the recipe for me!

dumbass quote

  • "I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some people out there in our nation don't have maps. And I believe that our education like, such as South Africa, and, the Iraq, everywhere like such as. And I believe that they should, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., or should help South Africa, and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future for our children."

The Mega 80s

July 30, 2004

My sister invited me to go see The Mega 80s with her on Saturday night. I could go on and on about just how great this band is, but unless you’ve seen them yourself, you wouldn’t believe me. I would highly encourage anyone who loves 80s music and is in the southeast Michigan area to go see this band! My husband is good friends with the owner/lead singer, but that in no way makes me biased about just how great they are. It’s an excellent band that just happens to be owned by a friend.

Anyway, so I’ve been invited to go on Saturday night. I’ve even been able to talk my parents into babysitting so Rob can go with us. But, I’m still undecided if I’ll actually end up going or not. As much as I love the band, I really hate the crowds. Actually, I just really hate clubs. Everyone is so pushy. I like a lot of personal space, and club goers aren’t very accommodating that way. I don’t really drink, so I find all those empty or spilled beer bottles extremely annoying. The worst thing is the people who smoke. I can understand that I have to put up with the smoke itself. What I can’t understand is why these people can’t pay better attention to where they’re waving their little fiery sticks of death and flicking their ashes. I always seem to end up paying more attention to the proximity of someone’s cigarette than I do to the band. The older version of the Mega 80s once performed at a public park. We took the twins and had a great time! That would be the ideal location for me. Lots of room, fresh air, none of those obnoxious club couples (get a room please!) and I’d get to bring my boys, who by the way LOVE the lead singer of the band.

So, to go or not to go? That is the question.

    I am whole-heartedly feeling your dilemma, and what a dilemma it is. In one corner you have what sounds like a wonderful night full of eighties music ahead of you (and I’m not even being the slightest bit sarcastic with that last bit) but on the other hand, you have the annoying bar scene/drunken girls/stale beer and smoke smell to contend with.

    I guess I would go and see what the scene is like. If anything, places like that usually don’t fill up till later in the evening and by then, you might have gotten a good enough eighties fix to last you till the next time.

    How do you own a band? Unless you have “hired guns” and pull their strings. That’s not a band, that’s an joke.

    Is that the case?

    Thanks for your posts regardless.

It’s the spark of an idea that hits me unexpectedly. It’s the silly wonderings I have after a whirlwind of thoughts. It’s about creativity, inspiration, and imagination. But sometimes, it’s just about eating noodles.
