Post Incubus Poppy

Well guys I braved it, I was downtown accross the street from Much Music last night and Incubus (as usual) kicked ass! I will admit that I left a bit early because it was so flippin' cold! But I did at least wait until the numbness in my feet turned into that frozen pain and climbed it's way all the way up to my knees.

My biggest problem with the show was that that stupid VJ Amanda asked the most retarded questions and she didn't refer to any of the guys by name! I don't even think that she knew who was who, with the exception of Brandon of course. Oh yeah, and she mentioned how all their past albums were more pop and this one is quite rock. DO YOUR RESEARCH BITCH!!! There were albums before Make Yourself!

It was freaking ridiculous the audience/fan questions were for the most part dumb! The one that was even remotely intelligent (dumb but better than the others anyways) that's when the Much staff opened the door to outside so they guys couldn't even hear it. Some guy actually asked if any of them were agoraphobic! HELLO???? Do people think!!!

But all in all it was awsome to see them even if they did play that most terrible oftheir songs "Wish you were here" I just dislike it because it got overplayed, and was a major contributing factor to the teeny bopper following. There were two 20ish girls standing beside me and they were talking about the title of the new record and how they thought is was fucked up and didn't make any sense, and then they went into how they don't like the old stuff because Brandon was ugly. It's okay to talk like that when you're 16-17 but come on girls , when you're in your 20's it's time to realize that there are more important things! Now I'm not denying that Brandon is hot and that I'd pretty much do anything he said, but still it's obviously apparent that as a band they have the choice of producing a decent album (S.C.I.E.N.C.E.) or having Brandon look hot (Morning View) and apparently they can't do both at the same time! I'm okay with that though, and as he's getting uglier I'm hoping that Crow Left of the Murder is going to be cool.

Either way though I love them and can't wait for them to tour North America and come back to Toronto! They'll be doing the Japan-Austrailia thing for the early part of spring so hopefully they'll be hitting us up in the summer, but if it's as part of Lollapalozza and lolla doesn't come here again I'll go to the States for it by myself this time!

P.S. Lolla'04 rumors are starting to spread, planning is happening!

Poppy's Poetry Du Jour

*A fun little ditty about a customer*

Heinous bitch looking over my shoulder
heinous bitch can't tell when a trend is over

She saw Paris' simple life last week
Saw her ugly hat and thought that's Chic

Most of us, we realize that trends fade
not her she want's her ugly hats and she hasn't paid

Just casue you saw it on TV doesn't mean it's cool, TV shows aren't live
How do people this dumb thrive?

You'd think that a bimbo with a knock-off Vuitton purse
Would pick up a magazine find out some recent trends, but wait it gets worse

It's not even a purse, it's a fanny pack
Someone please tell me when those came back?!

Good Friday all,
I've decided to work on this post all day, I will keep this window open for the sole purpose of having something to type at whenever the bosses come by, fortunately for you it won't actually be all day because the big boss isn't here and the lesser but scarier boss is leaving at noon.
And so it begins.....

Okay so the morning has been pretty slack!

"Q List" Celebrity Sighting

Any interested Leafs fans might like to know that I just met Doug Stapleton. "Who the hell is that?" you may be asking yourself, and I don't blame you there's a reason I've named this post "Q List Celebrity Sightings" he's Belfour's agent. Yeah, exciting.

Oh my god I've turned into one of those people....I had TIme Horton's turkey and wild rice soup for lunch.
Welcome

Hello all and welcome to the first posting on my blog, I have followed the thousands before me who have started blogs because they think that everyone they have ever met in their life may be interested in what they had for lunch today. For me it's more about giving myself the forum to post such interestingly themes stories as "The Crazy Guy in the Subway Station" and to continue my tradition of publicly airing my opinions of the people I work with. Just in case some of you weren't totally aware of me and my personality, the people I make humorous jabs at here are not people I dislike, they're just people I find amusing. So if you ever find yourself at the receiving end of one of these jabs don't take it personally, it's all in good fun!
So welcome and I hope to at some point provide at least a little amusement to you!
