Immortal Technique

Adam, Tech and me

1.  I attended my first rap concert.  Glad it was Immortal Technique.  That man is all about social reform and making a difference to improve conditions.   Sweet guy too!

The management company contacted our website, VenturaRocks.com, and asked us if we wanted to do an interview.  Drummer, Adam Clark, knows Tech like no one else and so he was kind enough to do the interview.  But I got the hug!  And I got to shoot the show!!

It was funny because Tech just strolled up to us in the foyer at the Ventura Theater to get us when it was time to do the interview.  Nobody around noticed!  He’s very unpretentious.

2.  As much as I love people, I still value and demand my own personal space.

3.  During our recent “heat wave” I was clever enough to remember I live at the beach for fast relief.  So very nice!   Not cold at all!!

And what the Hell is that coming out of its mouth???

4.  Yet another life form helping my ego. This is the blobfish, recently given the illustrious distinction as “the world’s ugliest animal” by the Animal Preservation Society.  These bad dudes can be found off the coast of Australia.

Yep, have them all!

6. J.K. Rowling announced that she will write a  Harry Potter spin-off movie series.  Yay!  The story line will follow the adventures of Newt Scamander who wrote the book, Fantastic Beasts, and Where to Find Them from the first movie.  Looking forward to it!

7.  A recent post on Facebook talked about how this particular woman wanted people to stop posting in the third person. Pam couldn’t agree more!

8. I saw a story headline on MSN under their “Living” section, which read “Happy medium: Celebs rock longer bobs.”  I took a second look because I couldn’t understand why MSN chose to say “longer boobs” instead of “bigger” boobs.  I quickly realized my mistake.

9.  Speaking of boobs, I always tried to correct Sydney (to no avail), that you have breasts, you are a boob.  “Breast” just sounds lovelier.  “Boob” not so much.

10.  I can tell Halloween is not too far off by the candy corn appearing in the candy dishes around my work.

11.  Met up with Eve and crew for a Journey cover band at the Collection in Oxnard.  I kind of felt like a traitor going over the bridge into another city for music.  Not the biggest Journey fan, but the band nailed it, especially the vocals.

12.  What’s up with those photos people share of really cute pathetic looking dogs with the caption that goes something like, “Tanner dies tomorrow if he’s not adopted.”

Most of these are from Texas.

13.  Went to Staples recently as I needed a new mouse pad.  Seriously, those things should only be $1.00!  Not $8.99.  And, if it has the word “Staples” on it, they should pay me to use it!  Just saying.

Thanks for listening!
