I'm Like Tinkerbell Finn, I Need Applause To Live.

On Friday night, Carolynn and I drove to Anaheim to see Glee Live. She got the tickets for her birthday last month. She has been so excited since we got the tickets. On Friday, after I got off of work, she was ready to go. And we were off.

It took us just over an hour to get to the Honda Center (formerly The Pond) in Anaheim. As we were walking in, we saw a sea of Glee shirts. We saw kids dressed like Cheerios. We saw a few dressed in Sue Sylvester jogging suits. We got there early so it didn't take us long to get in. We walked up what seemed like a million steps to find our seats. I bought the tickets late, so our seats were pretty high. So high in fact, there was only one row of seats higher. Here is a view of from our seats.


Once we were seated, Carolynn decided she wanted a program and to look at the souveiers. So we climbed back down to the bottom floor and waited in a forever line to buy Glee stuff. Carolynn got her program.
We were waiting in line and Carolyn kept telling me she didn't want a tee shirt. Nope. No shirt. No way. Too much money. Sure. So it's finally our turn to make our purchases. I got me an awesome Glee mug. Carolynn got a Glee poster and... you guessed it... a Glee Tour shirt. Who didn't see that coming?

So we climbed back up those stairs and got seated again. Then they had a dance crew open up the show. They were called The League of Extraordinary Dancers. They were pretty cool. Then they got the stage ready for the Glee cast.
Carolynn was getting very excited. Then finally, it started and there they were. She had been saying ever since we got there, "They are in here some where." and they were. Right there on stage. And then a girl stood up and Carolynn couldn't see. Luckily, no one was sitting in the row in front of us, so she moved. And she sat there, like a stone, mesmerized for the entire show.

I took over 100 pictures. But not many came out very well. But I got a few pretty good ones.

Starting off with a Journey song... of course.

We had a great time. Next time, we need to buy tickets earlier. And take Catherine. She would have loved it too.

Clothes Are Over Rated

Part 2 in my series of embarrassing pictures of guys I know...

I give you Taylor.

Because you clearly do not need a shirt when you've got your boots on.



Pants? Who wears pants? Not when you have some sweet knee pads, elbow pads, a helmet, and wrist guards.



And finally, who wears regular clothes when you can be an M&M or a dinosaur? Okay, so the dinosaur was for Halloween. But the M&M... Just because he is cool like that.

A Day In The Life

Not To My Knowledge

I was at work one day, minding my own business, when I was given the task of escorting an inmate from the Special Housing Unit to medical. I go and get him and find out that the guy has multipule healing puncture wounds all over his body and that a couple have to be re-glued and checked for infection.

So I walk him over there.

He tells me it barely hurts and they are just being cautious because of infections.

Okay.

So I ask him what happened.

He tells me he doesn't know.

How are you covered in multiple puncture wounds and not know how that happened?

You are in a cell with just one other guy and you're all stabbed up? Seems to me like his cellmate was not happy with him in someway.

He tells me that is what he was told, that his cell mate stabbed him up. But he didn't believe it. He and his cellmate are tight.

Okay dude. Whatever you say.

Maybe the Devil did it. Or a ghost.

Supreme Embarrassment

Last week David's Dad sent us some of the most amazing pictures ever. The most amazing, most embarrassing pictures you will ever see. And now, for your enjoyment, I will share them with you. Because they are awesome.

David says this is his game face. I same it's his lame face.


This is David's "Duh" face.


I don't know what his hair is doing here. Who thought it was a good idea to look like this?


I am pretty sure David is drunk on Kool-Aid or doing a Capt. Jack Sparrow impression... years before the movie came out. Maybe he is psychic. Or psycho.


On another note, some of the pictures he sent were incredibly adorable. I'll have to share those later. Tune in next week for embarrassing pictures of someone else... A certain guy I know...

A Day In The Life

Some Place Where No One Would Talk

It's late one night and I was spending another boring night at everyone's favorite women’s prison camp. They had been on a room restriction for several days due to an previous incident. So I was walking around to make sure they were staying in their beds. They were only supposed to leave to use the bathrooms.

I walk in to the bathroom. There are a few women in there. There are a few in the shower. A couple brushing their teeth or washing their faces. A few were in the stalls.

A few too many.

There were four feet sticking out from underneath one of those stalls.

So I go over to the stall and knock. The door opens and out come two women. One of them appeared to be crying. So I ask if she is okay. She says she is upset because she misses her kids. So then I ask, why were the two of them in this stall. The crying one continues to cry. The other one tells me that with the lock down they were trying to find somewhere to go where people wouldn't talk about it.

Nope, two women in a toilet stall won't entice gossip.

Besides, it is a well known fact that these two women were in fact involved in a jailhouse romance. So I wrote them up. The next day we sent one of them to a more secure location. You know, so people wouldn't talk.
