blah blah blah

Wow!  So yeah, it has been a while since I posted.  I guess I need new episodes of Sex and the City to come On Demand to give me some motivation.  Or perhaps I just need to do more things worth talking about online.  Oh wait, I HAVE!  So, I am about to wrap up my Junior year Spring Break, and it began with quite a bang.  I went to New York City with my dear friend Patty, who of course NEVER writes about me in her blog, no matter how adorable and interesting I am.  So here, is how that adventure went:

Luckeist Star Bus:
We travelled down together on a Lucky Star bus, and boy, did I feel like the luckiest star in the sky.  We carried on witty and amusing banter.  Stopped for lunch, I wanted to cross the street to McDonald's however the driver would not allow it.  I don't know if that's legal, but I just shrugged my nose, and proceeded into the Burger King.  I hate eating on buses.  There's no tray table, you have to eat on your lap, and where do you put your drink?? ON THE FLOOR! That's where!  So with a tummy full of processed, deep fried chicken, and a strawberry milkshake, we then proceeded to bust out some sketches.  

Arrival in New York City:
Now I hadn't been to the city since high school, and of course when with a large immature group, you're herded around, and don't really need to worry about how to get where.  Of course, this was different.  Luckily, I had Patty, who eventually got her bearings, and got us from downtown, to midtown.  We checked into the hotel that Patty's dad paid for, and then met up with my old friend Glenn.  See Glenn:


Glenn's great.  We're bffs... gross.  Sorry.  No, but really, we grew up together, and have remained close friends.  Hopefully, someday, he will be my Max Weinberg on my late night talk show.  He plays piano though, so I guess he'd be more of a Paul Schaffer.  Regardless, he's talented, and a goofball, and we have great chemistry and banter, so he's perfect.  Maybe I'd let him hire his douche-twat brother to play sax.

Ok, so that's Glenn.  More with him later.  

We met up with Glenn, and then we headed over to Upright Citizen's Brigade Theatre, where we saw a show called ASSCAT.  We were wildly lucky, because that night's cast of players included Amy Poehler, Rachel Dratch, Seth Meyers (who had great jeans on, really nice ass), and Jack MacBrayer (30 Rock).  Do I get star-struck??... You bet your ASS I do!  I was so giddy, it was really exciting.  After the show we went to Glenn's favorite watering hole, The Corner Bistro, with his buddy from The New School and The Brubeck Institute. We proceeded to get moderately intoxicated, and Patty and I just talked about ourselves pretty much the whole time.  Oh!  Patty also decided to text Jeremy and tell him how I felt like he didn't really like me, and that I never make him laugh.  And when we sent him simultaneous text messages, I discovered that she told him that.  Who does that?!  So then he sort of mocked me and my insecurities.  

Blah blah blah, this is a long post.  I hope you stopped reading by now, and if you haven't you probably really really want to.  So I'll stop here, and continue the saga of Spring Break in a later blog.  

And I PROMISE to post more often!... because I know SO many people are reading this...

so-yeah...

I Am

Please see the following:



I first heard about this a week ago in a very passive manner.  After finally seeing this video today, I read the articles.  I cried for 30 minutes.  This is tragic, and must stop, however, we as a society, I feel, are very far from the ability to treat each other with the respect and decency that EVERY human citizen deserves.  

Please, whether you know someone that is gay or not, speak out against stupid and ignorant comments and jokes.  Learn about the Human Rights Campaign, and understand why it's called HUMAN, and not specifically gay rights.
