I'm old

After our Jimmy Eat World concert last night, I feel incredibly old. My reasons will be listed hereafter:

1. I don’t understand how teenagers dress. What is attractive about skinny jeans? Nothing! Not even on skinny people do they look good. What’s up with converse sneakers? Those shoes make everyone’s feet look like a size 15. It’s not only their clothes, it’s their hair. It’s all crazy colors that don’t make any sense. There were so many oddly dressed people there last night that I wanted to take pictures of. And why do these people dress like it’s 1985? It was not a good decade for style people! Why are you trying to hearken back to it?

2. I don’t think a mosh-pit is fun. It’s uncomfortable for everyone involved. You are pushed, stepped on, and generally sexually-harassed without being about to do anything about it. Why this is considered a good idea is beyond me.

3. After standing for over five hours, I complain. My feet hurt. My back hurts. I just want to sit down or go to bed.

4. I don’t like screaming in my music. I don’t mind loud music. I like to turn up the volume when I am listening to a song I love. I don’t feel the same about loud music I don’t know. Dear and the Headlights, who opened, were not good. When your instruments are so loud they drown out your screaming; your music sucks. Paramore was good, but she yells a lot in their songs, rather than singing. I can only listen to Paramore for a few songs before I get sick of them.

5. Everything teenagers do bugs me. There were a lot of stupid kids at the concert last night. They generally do everything that common sense would prohibit someone with half a brain of doing. I’m convinced that they are just idiots. I’m also glad that I am no longer in that category.

So, there you have it. Isn’t it great when a someone of 24 sounds like they are 40?

What's to come

I’m a pretty big failure when it comes to the blogging this week. In my defense, I’ve been really busy at work and at home. I have a huge registration due next week and I, of course, couldn’t get any of it finished until this week. I’m very smart.

Not that there’s anything to report on. It’s business as usual.

I’m very excited for this upcoming weekend/week. We have a lot of stuff going on in the next nine days. First off, we have the excitement of the weekend. I love the weekend. This Saturday we have a soccer game, and that is the last home game we have until the last day of the month. We better make it count.

The following Monday, we are going to the Jimmy Eat World concert! I am so excited. They are one of my top three bands, and the only one of them I have yet to see.

The weather is improving, so I’m excited for the warm weekend.

Next week is Spring Break for Alpine School District and my family will be gone. Secretly, I like it when they are away and I have the house to myself (or mostly to myself).

Then next Saturday we will be running in the SLC 5k. Gabby is back to health and I’m sure pounding the pavement (or treadmill because of the bad weather). I think we’re going to kill ourselves trying to beat one another. We’ll probably run at a normal pace for the first 2.9 miles and then get into a crazy sprint for the last 0.2 miles. She will win, if that’s the case. She can run faster than me at an all out sprint.

So, I’m sure you’ll hear all about all that’s coming up. Sorry there isn’t anything that has already happened to talk about.
