One Word: Muse.

(Anticipation!)

Last night I had the opportunity to attend a Muse concert with one of my besties, Danielle.  She texted me back in April asking if I wanted to attend.  There was nothing I could say but, absolutely.  The last time I saw Muse performed was back in 207, the night before I moved to Hawaii.  They were awesome three years ago so I had high hopes this time around.

And they succeeded.

When their performance first began, there were these three pillars set up on stage.  Danielle and I were a little confused because behind the stage (they performed at The honda Center, which is where The Ducks play hockey) there were rows of people sitting, awaiting the concert as well.  How are they going to see when there is no way they can get a glimpse behind the pillars?  Well Danielle being the smartie that she is pointed out that the pillars probably drop somehow.

Well she was mostly right.  The music began and the pillars were lit up with random images until those images became white silhouettes of men walking up several flights of stairs.  Then suddenly, slowly, those med began to fall off the stairs.  That's when the the middle of the pillars dropped and the three band members appeared on what seemed to be platforms.


It was a brilliant show!  They played almost all of my favorite songs, including "Black Holes and Revelations" and "Undisclosed  Desires."  The reason why I love this band live is because they don't just play the new songs off the most recent album, but they bring back some of their older stuff.  They even busted out Michael Buble's "Feeling Good."  Loved it!

Yee Haw!!

(Me, silly faced Kieran, and Danielle ready for the rodeo!)

I went to my first rodeo a few weekends ago.  I wasn't sure how I'd do, but I am easily entertained.  I met up with Danielle and her son, Kieran and we were off.

The rodeo took place in a town called Norco, which, who knew, is also known as Horse Town USA.  Now, I don't travel much to what we call "The I.E." or "The 909" because... well... there really isn't anything there for me except a drive in theater!  I know,  I admit, I am a total Orange County snob.  Don't get me wrong, I have plenty of friends that have lived or currently live there!  Nothing against them!  Well... most of them.  HAHA!  Anyway, I digress.  We pull off the freeway and are blown away as to how cute this town really is!  It's very old country western and is super cute!  As we drove the main street, I was reminded of the small towns of Utah.  It seems like a really cute place to live.  Especially since they had hitching posts in front of almost all of the little stores and restaurants.  Super cute!

Now i've never been to a rodeo so I had no idea what to expect.  Luckily, I'd recently seen the movie Did You Hear About the Morgans? so I had an idea of what it would be like.  Well, it was a lot smaller than I thought!  I guess it's a good thing it was my first one so I didn't experience the best rodeo first!  (I sort of did that with Scuba diving but I do not regret that at all!)

(Roping. Man, these guys are quick!)

After getting food (and defiantly using the nasty port-a-potties), we took our seats in some stands in a corner.  there were tons of cowboy hats and we immediately set that as a mandatory purchase!  We quickly became friends with the lady who wreaked of stale cigarettes and had a blast!  We saw Barrel Racing, Bull Riding, Roping and more!  It was such a blast!


I can't say that I would go every weekend to one of these types of events since I prefer a little variety in my life, but it was definitely a fun time!  Fun people, fun events and good eye candy too!  Very important, haha!

(Bull riding!  Sorry about the sound...)

Comic Relief at Work.

I received this email at work today and am still laughing at it!  Being part History major, it just makes me giggle endlessly!  Not to mention I am an avid Facebook user so it makes it even more comical!


To all you Face Book fans...

Non-Stop.

This is the song that I've been listening to on repeat all day long today.  Does it ever bother you to hear someone singing the same song over and over and over again?  Not me.  In fact, it makes me happy.  Unless I don't know the song, then it's just plain annoying.

Relevant?

One of my favorite things at work, is when I find beauties like this faxed in with a claim:


I'm still not quite sure which facts are RELEVANT, but it made me laugh!

Students vs. Teachers.

I know, I know.  I've been on a youtube.com kick lately.  A new friend of mine shared these with me and I just thought they were so fun, I had to share with all of you!  Personally, I like the students video better.  It could be because of the teacher with the green, tied shirt with the belly hanging out.  Wow.  Enjoy!
