Because Sometimes I’m Obnoxious
Posted on August 14th, 2009 in Flashback Fridays, Indie Films
Last week, my roommate and I hit up a Jason Mraz concert which was nothing short of spiritual.
Except for the GOD AWFUL HORRENDOUS ATROCIOUS opening acts.
At one point, I busted out a magazine and flipped through it, waiting for the hell to end.
When that got boring, my roommate turned the camera toward me and this is what ensued. I could apologize for my blatant rudeness. Then again, I don’t have to. YOU’RE WELCOME.
ooohhhh, but look at those brows!
Hey, where’d the hairs on your chinny-chin-chin go?
That was the opening act? Holy crap.
Would you believe this was a full five days before I got my brows done? For some reason, the video doesn’t show how truly awful they were. That also means, I had full chin hair at this point.
Dude, this was one of THREE opening acts. One ridiculous rapper guy, G Love and Special Sauce, and this dude in the video who was the “host” of the night and who wore outrageously ugly pants and PLAYED THE WORST SONG IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSE with an obviously borrowed melody. POKE MY EYES OUT OMG.
Wait, did you say G Love and Special Sauce? Seriously? That’s like a serious name for someone?
I came across and have enjoyed your fun blog, but I must take exception with your ‘obnoxious’ entry. As an artist, how can you be as rude as to page through a magazine while a performance is being presented, simply because you didn’t like what you were hearing? I’m sure those musicians worked hard for their set, and didn’t deserve your snobby attitude. Consider the same happening to you while you are acting on stage. Honestly, it put a crimp in your good-natured stlye of blogging.
My oldest daughter got married at the end of May this year. She’s known her now husband for maybe 15 years and has lived with him as a roommate for maybe 10 of those years. Before they were married, she shared with me, “Jo said that I’d gotten drunk and obnoxious, so I asked Dave, “Was I obnoxious?” He said, “no more than normal.”"
I just thought that was SO CUTE that he could acknowledge obnoxious yet not see it as a total turnoff.
Have Rod – You bring up some really excellent points that I’m currently exploring in a future post. Thanks so much for your input! Stay tuned for a lengthier response…
OldNovice – Are you saying that you find me cute even though I’m obnoxious? ARE YOU???
Just kidding.
OMG you’re so obnoxious! And raccoons could nest in those eyebrows!
Actually, your eyebrows are hawt, and now they’re probably anemic and weak and totally lame.
4 Non Blondes. Linda Perry. The song is “What’s Up”. Can’t copyright a chord progression, otherwise there wouldn’t be a whole lot of music to listen to.
The way I figure it, you bought your ticket, so you’re perfectly entitled to express your displeasure with the performance. Oh, how I miss the days of throwing tomatoes! When men were men, performers were nervous, and eyebrows were thick and luxurious.
oh Tim, you made me giggle
