My blog sucks

indeed...
sucks.

Concert Etiquette - Part 1

In this multi-part series, I am going to analyze modern day "Concert Etiquette".

What is Concert Etiquette? - It is the normal, accepted, and expected behavior of an individual at a concert. In this case, I am speaking specifically of rock concerts.

In this episode, I'll be discussing the issue of...

Sitting vs. Standing

For modern day concerts, the obvious answer is Standing. There are a number of reasons. You can't really feel the music if you're on your ass. Likewise, if you want to sit on your ass and listen to music, a fantastic place is your home or car. Sitting is allowed at rock concerts should you need a break to rest your feet or relax during a slow song. But under no circumstance should one sit during the full length of a rock concert.

The rules for sitting at a concert can bend slightly should one be located in lawn seating. In the lawn case, it's really up to the people at the front of the lawn to decide if the rest of the lawn can sit or must stand. Should the front lawn people sit, then the rest of the lawn can enjoy their blankets and chairs. But if they stand, like they should, the rest of the lawn must stand.


The characteristics of the concert I'm describing above are as follows
-10,000 or more fans in attendance
-Location - large indoor arena or large outdoor pavilion
-ticket price >or= $20

If you find yourself in a small theater with 1000 people, feel free to sit the whole show.

Basically this is me venting a little about a concert I went to a short while ago where I chose to stand and 50% of the people around me chose to sit. The sitters chose to haggle the standers in an attempt to get them to sit. After an hour of the show, i was the only stander. I was standing up for the rights of standers everywhere. I stood the whole show because thats proper etiquette.

Basically, If it's a big show, your ass does not need a seat. And if you haggle someone to sit, you should be thrown out.

Boredom Leads to Obsession

Simply statement, but it could not be any more true. On this fine Wednesday evening, I spent a large amount of time attempting to customize my Windows XP theme. After shuffling through dozens of themes and wall-papers, I've finally decided what I want; and won't stop until I'm either dead or have succeeded.

I want : a CTU (Counter Terrorist Unit) theme from 24.
Attaining this is proving to be an impossible feat.

I played around with Photoshop for an hour and came up with this desktop backgroung.

Another true B.A.

Big Sunglasses

Recently I've changed. Some may consider it a minute [mahy-noot] ,(this pronunciation reminder is not only for clarification, but also so I won't look back and continuously say "I misspelled minute") , on par with changing brands of deodorant or going from high-tops to loafers.
I first saw these exact sunglasses on the most bad-ass guy around: Jack Bauer. Naturally, you now think my change is solely based on a shallow attempt to mimic a true B.A. And, you could not be more correct. However, they've grown on me.
Upon first trying my new Serengeti Aviators on, I couldn't help but think that I looked like something out of The Fly. The lenses cover a hefty portion of my face. However, I can drive directly into the sun with eyes fully open.
Yesterday I tried out the old school Rayban Predator 2's and found that their sleek design and small face coverage was not for me. Now I parade around in giant sunglasses.
This post is my attempt to justify me wearing Aviator sunglasses. Some people have already commented on them. I could be honest and say "I really like their comfort and protection", but they would think I was talking about condoms. Instead I take the easy way and say "Jack Bauer wears these"

First Blog...

I feel the need to say a lot of things. First: I'm embarking on the cultural web-based journey of "blogging". I've always thought of it as an annoying word. But I feel invigorated that I now have a place to write the most fluffed up literature conceivable.

Anyway...

I am going to dedicate this blog to an attempt to make all of my readers switch to the BEST INTERNET WEB BROWSER EVER. Of course, fellow users will know that I am referring to Mozilla Firefox.

Firefox provides a stylish, streamlined, and utilitarian approach to the web without the security flaws and annoyances of Internet Explorer. The greatest thing about Firefox is its... (Prepare yourself; I am making a word up)...customizability?

Currently I'm running about a dozen addons; each of them are lightweight enough to allow lightning fast surfing, while at the same time giving maximum functionality. There are plugins designed for every application imaginable: email, web design, blogging, syncing favorite websites, RSS, bookmarking, syncing popular applications, and tons of customizable toolbars to boot. Along with the amazing functionality, are the hundreds of user submitted graphical themes. All these aspects combine to make the most customizable and multi-functional web browser out there.

I really recommend you try it out.
