St. Patrick Was Born In Wales

So it's St. Patrick's day.
Every single person who I've talked to in the last week (ok, maybe not everyone) has asked me if I'm "going out for St. Patty's Day?" or if I'm "going to the parade?" NO! Fuck that. Fuck that stupid parade! Fuck going out for St. Patrick's Day! I'm not Irish...not that it matters, of course. No one gets it. No one understands me when I feel this way. I'm mostly German and I wouldn't even know when Oktoberfest was, if the month wasn't in the name! If you want to go out drinking, just go out drinking. Don't make some stupid tradition. Can you believe someone actually pinched me today because I wasn't wearing green?!?!? And you want to know the kicker? She's Puerto Rican!!!

"But Kyle, it's just an excuse to drink."
"No! Knowing YOU is an excuse to drink!!!!"


"Everybody's Irish on St. Patrick's Day."
"No, everyone's loud and obnoxious on St. Patrick's Day!!!!"


"Some places even have green beer on St. Patrick's Day."
"That sounds good for the digestive system."


"Kyle, come out. It'll be fun."
"No! It'll be loud, crowded and expensive!! Three things I hate!!"


"Kyle, I happen to like St. Patrick's Day and I go out every year. You shouldn't say things like that about how people have fun."
"OK? Since when do I give a flying fuck what you have to say?!?!?!"




In unrelated news:

I spilled vinegar all over my bed last night. This is going to sound gay, but I had several men in my room, and as I was making my way around them *BAM* I tip my plate and vinegar pours everywhere. I had to sleep last night with only my little blanket. Sad face.


My cash is running low, so after Spring Break I'm going to get a job. I'm not 100% sure where yet, but I may try to work at ETS...seems like all the cool kids are doing it.


I'm getting real excited for Florida...minus the sad fact that Dan isn't going. Crying face.


School's been going well. Making some good grades for this last semester. I've been keeping up with going to the gym. So that's good too.


Speaking of school, the other day in class my professor was talking and unknown to be, everytime she answers a question or states a fact, I nod. She then compared me to her granddaughter because she sits there and nods her head aimlessly at Dorer the Explorer or whatever the name is. Real good moment in front of the whole class.

Rochester Will Be Laid to Waste

Last night Matt and I went to Rochester to see Norma Jean, Unearth, and Atreyu. We both had a really good time.

The best word to describe Norma Jean's set would be "brutal." Having never seen them live before I can say that they are a good live band.

Unearth was exactly what I remember from seeing them at Hellfest, just with longer hair now. They are a badass metal-core band, and good at what they do.

Atreyu has been consistently good every time I've seen them. Their live show has some badass hair-metal band moments. For their encore they even covered "Shot Through the Heart." Real good set all around.

Thanks to Kim for getting these tickets for Matt's and my anniversary...I mean Matt's and your anniversary.

In a related story, after being in the back of the club with all the parents who were there, I was reminded of an idea I had when I got to college. I'm going to start a business where I take kids to concerts so parents don't have to. My price will be the price of the ticket plus I will use a payscale which fluctuates depending on who is playing and how many kids I am watching. I think I'm going to make a lot of money.
