Get Crackalatin' - A Roundup
I just saw that in Otey's away message. I don't quite know where it came from, but I'm pretty sure it's funny and worthy of a post title.
...It was a busy weekend right from the start. Gina and I went to see The Notebook on Friday night (as sort of a gift-in-return for her taking me to see Harry Potter earlier this summer -- we've seen quite a few movies so far, it seems). It was a definite tearjerker, the kind of movie that always leaves me feeling depressed. I'll give marks to the acting and directing, though, which was believable and well-done. It's still a chick flick, though.
...Saturday, Otey and I went to see DMB again, this time in Charlotte. The show was superb, even with a few repeats from the Hershey set. Otey got to hear his "Watchtower," and I just got to have a good, relaxing time. We fared better with our neighbors this time around, except for a guy trying to do Drunk Gymnastics over the bar in front of our seating area. He ended up on his butt. There was also a couple directly in front of me that seemed more interested in kicking each other in the butt and yelling sweet nothings into each other's ear rather than focusing on the music. They should have just made out and gotten it over with, but they weren't too bad. All in all, an enjoyable time. I just have one disclaimer: if you're paying a lot of money to see a concert, why not go to actually see the show instead of getting drunk and trying to get laid?
...Sunday was uneventful except for a meeting, which I won't describe in detail here. Suffice it to say that I think I can now focus on the beginning of the school year in a more positive light now. And I had another great, relaxing evening with Gina.
...And today? The Taylor came! It plays like a dream, and I haven't even gotten a chance to put new strings on it yet. Exciting times are ahead for me musically, I can tell already. Props to eBay for pulling through.
This looks to be a busy week for me, as I have a big interview coming up on Wednesday. More about that in the days to come. In the meantime, get a load of how quicksand works as my Fun Fact Of The Day.
The "Get Crackalatin'" came from when I was flipping channels on the TV and came across BET. They were showing the new D12 (Eminem's group of boys from Detriot) video and it was part of the lyrics. I thought it sounded pretty HOT (slang for good) so I went to look up the lyrics and that was one of the phrases in the chorus. So there you go, the origin of "Get Crackatain'."
Out with the old and in with the new, i guess. I've been replaced, by a new girlfriend - "Taylor" or something. I don't know. I don't expect to be seeing you for a few days as you begin your new adventures together. I know you wanted someone new and exciting, but it still hurts to see you go. **tear** Just ask yourself if she can really love you the same way I can. Think about that when the nights turn cold... I hope you two are very happy together. I wish you nothing but the best. Good bye, FOREVER... **cue dramatic music**
Haha, funny joke, eh? Ok...maybe not. Anyway...CONGRATULATIONS on your new guitar!!! I really does sound fabulous already. It almost does just play itself. I think you and Tom should really go into the business of making those - guitars that play themselves, like those cool pianos. Your slogan in ten years, after you sell a million of these, and become the richest people in the world, could be, "Making ordinary guys SUPER HOTT (yes, two T worthy!), without them really having to do anything, for over a decade." Hahaha. Sounds great! Lol. :)
