First! And Yooouurr’ee In!

Hey there party peeps! (I mean the bad marshmallow peeps I ate last night that seem to be having a party in my stomach, stop it already!) I thought I would discuss the number first with you and tell you about a couple things that I love right now and how I was first introduced to them.

First first is the amazing rock/blues/jazz band called Carney! I love these guys. not in a crush way, like you would expect, but the music is absolutely to not die for because you want to stay alive and listen. They are amazing musicians, and lead singer Reeve Carney has such an amazing voice sometimes I think I may start tearing up when im’ listen…sorry, getting too girlie. Any who, The lead guitarist, Zane, is also Reeve’s brother. The Bassist is Aiden Moore and on the drums is Jon Epcar. They’re amazing, if you’ve never heard of them, check them out! now! Stop reading this and go (don’t really go, it was a test to see if you would stay…hello? Dang it!) any way, I first heard of them, and im embarrassed about it now, obviously not that much, cause im telling you, but… I was watching Fuse and they said “which video won this head to head, blah blah (cant remember the band) or Carney?” I thought, obviously blah blah, cause I’d heard of them. Carney won. I was thinking, how did these people get it, I don’t know who they are?! Instead of watching the video, I left the room (sorry Carney) another day, on Fuse, they said “this is a video by Carney, enjoy” I thought, well, since I left before, might as well see what I missed. I watched. I wasn’t breathing cause they were so great. Almost passed out. went on my computer to look up more Carney videos and songs. I did that because I was thinking, man I hope these guys aren’t bad, crazy, rowdy rockers (again, sorry Carney) to my happy so excited surprise, they weren’t only great musicians, but they were good people too! AND Reeve and Zane are Christians, LIKE ME! I don’t know what Jon and Aiden are, but they’re good people, and that’s all that matters… So, not even a year later, im a HUGE (felt the need to all caps that one) Carney fan! Still haven’t gone to a live show, but really want to. I love Carney, and that’s how I found out about them.

Next, I’ll tell you the first time I heard about comedian Nick Thune… (this may be less funny and more heartfelt because he really helped me learn to laugh…aww)

I was watching The Jay Leno Show, and anytime a comic is on a late night show, I always watch. I didn’t really used to laugh then, I just smiled, but I never saw anything that fit my sense of humor. I definitely didn’t know anything about comedians, except the big names like Chris Rock, Eddie Murphy, Steve Martin, etc. Well, on Jay, I see a guy playing a guitar and sitting down. I wondered why he was playing a guitar? He said his first joke, and a new feeling came about me (why do I sound like im from Shakespeare days England?) I was actually laughing! He kept going, I kept laughing actually out loud! Gasp! LOL! I didn’t want his segment to end… but it did, crazy right?! who knew. Afterwards I went straight to my computer to look him up. I wanted to remember his name. After I found more seriously hilarious videos, I made sure not to miss a single Jay Leno Show appearance. Even if I had to secretly stop recording one of my mom’s shows on the DVR because only two shows could be recording at once. Sorry. I wasn’t missing Nick. Now, thanks to him, I love comedy, I can laugh at things, and im a HUGE (all caps again, but im not yelling)* fan of his. Fortunately, he lives in the L.A. area, so… I have been to a few of his shows. So, he’s hilarious, AND super nice! Nick is my favorite comedian. I do like others though, in no particular order: Bo Burnham, Daniel Tosh, Donald Glover, Moranzio Vance, Morgan Murphy, Anthony Jeselnik, Julian McCullough, Jimmy Fallon, more that I can’t think of, annnd, as of yesterday, Adam Newman. Adam is really funny, I was watching videos of his stand up instead of doing homework (bad student I know, but happy me, so… I think im more important than college) Actually, that reminds me, I need to watch more of Adam’s videos, I haven’t seen enough yet (why does that sound so creepy?) Any who, Nick Thune helped me figure out that I love sarcasm, and his style is a cool observational, word play, sarcasm, otherwise known as hilarity! So thanks Nick Thune for letting me laugh :D

How awesome would that be if Carney and Nick saw this! (don’t get your hopes up, they won’t)    ;(* maybe… but that would be awesome! Really awesome!

Thanks for reading this crazy long post, any questions?... comment! Any comments?...comment! wanna tell me how weird I am for always talking to myself?...comment! wanna know more about these amazing people?...look it up!...and comment!

BTW sorry if this is so long, im sure I’ve lost some of you… (sad now)

Until you read again!

* = Nick Thune joke reference. look him, the other comedians I mentioned and Carney up now! im finished with this post

Yes I do. (no I don’t)

Hey there one person who’s read this (if you’re reading this you’re probably the only eyes looking at this right? even if there is more than one person reading this (highly unlikely)) . I thought I’d talk about something that’s bothering me as I type this. Right now. At this time (redundant?) The person sitting next to me, no, not my imaginary friend, they left me a long time ago. It had the nerve to say I was too weird. HUH! This coming from a bunnpupakey…any who, the person next to me just read aloud from the computers interweb, saying: this girl is saying she doesn’t want to do this blah, blah, blah anymore (I phased out cause I didn’t care). Ok, whatever, this person is talking about some girl this person doesn’t know, fine. What’s not fine, is that this person openly hates and talks about those who are into celebrity everything and yet says (around the noble, hard working, reading books, type of people) “im not into that kind of stuff, tv is such a waste of time, it’s sickening”

I hate it when someone says one thing and does the exact other. Accept who you are and what you like! Why change yourself just because you don’t know what other people may think! that’s the great part, you DON’T know. So if you do something, you won’t hear their thoughts making fun of you. Just say what you mean and you won’t look stu…like you’re lying(covering myself just in case they happen to see this)…oh, they’ll already know I'm talking about them? Probably. Do i care? Yes. Will I stop? No. So you don’t care? No, I do care, but I won’t stop, and I’ll feel bad about it when/if they see this. I’ll get over it and sarcasm my way out of it. Can you use Sarcasm as a verb? Well, if I think about. Do you feel bad about typing this while this person is right next to you on the other computer? Yes, that’s why I may just stop. Will you? Yes. Why are you taking/asking so many questions about yourself? The people want to know. Do they? Yes. Do they? Maybe. DO THEY? No.

Ok, question time over, that reporter asking questions was getting annoying…fast! I thought this would last longer, but it didn’t. I guess I really wasn’t that angry about it, otherwise I would’ve gone on a big rant lasting… you don’t want to know.

If you have anyone (sorry, I meant know. No one OWNS people, unless you’re a serial killer, then you can say that) who is the same way, leave a comment! I want to hear from those who read this lil blogy wogy (previous post reference woo!)

See ya, or, read the comment aboutcha later!

dot, dot, dot to form a picture

So...im bored and thought, hey! why not try and solve global warming while getting everybody health care. then i thought, wait! the professionals are doing such a good job at it, why spoil their fun! (you're welcome professionals)
So, instead, i thought i'd talk about half of my favorite subject... music! P.S. the other is comedy. I am absolutely in love with the music of this great fantastic band called Carney located here www.carneyband.com (did the link work?) Well, while listening to these fantastic songs called All Right, Love and Betray, & Happiness I drew some very bad, computer painted, pictures.

this is called Happiness Rainstorm!

this is called It's All Right to Love and Betray Sulk (it's a person w/ their hands on their face & legs folded)
By the way, these pictures look messy on purpose...im telling the truth (no you're not!...YOU LIE!) Im not lying, i kinda like the...never mind

...Yes, yes i know they look bad, my only reason for putting them up is because I want to see what you (J.D. do you mean yourself because you know you're probably the only person who will see this?) will say or think about it. Tell me, honestly, good and bad, i don't mind, just comment. I just like knowing someone saw this lil blogy wogy in it's baby form. aww, look at it's chubby cheeks! (it's not that cute, im just being nice) Are these pictures artsy? Or just stupid? hmm, there's a thin line, a very thin line.

Well, that goes it for this post, Im still working out the kinks and what exactly i want to do with this thing. I promise I'll try and kick out that random person who keeps interrupting me in parentheses form, and making snide remarks (no you won't) ...you're right, i won't. Any who, I'll talk more about my favorite music, Carney included, and my favorite comedians...I'll tell you now, it's Nick Thune....Whoops, did i ruin the surprise?
Thanks for visiting! Have a great day, or depending on when you read this, night!
P.S. dont forget to comment, i need attention (mad low self esteem... just kidding, dont send the cops over here)
outer body mind, outer body heart,
J.D.
P.P.S. (anyone think this ending is going on too long?)

Real

Wow, it’s really happening, ignore that last post, THIS IS THE FIRST! Hello to all the hundreds of people who are looking…what’s that? Just me?...oh…well, hopefully not for long…it might take a while?...oh….optimistic buzz killed -_- anywho, I thought I would discuss my word of the day, REAL. Has anyone noticed (dangerously close to sounding like Andy Rooney) how many people these days are constantly saying how real they are? It’s weird. “I’m a real persons! Not one of those fake (insert curse words!)” “You need a real woman/man” No one was debating you on whether or not you were a real human in the first place! You wanna know my theory?...No?...Well then I guess I won’t…you’ll hear it to make me happy? Aw. My theory is that any and all the people who say they’re “real” are really aliens! Ah! Escape the sci-fi reference! I mean, why else would someone constantly be trying to prove how real they are. That means all those reality stars and rappers who say “this is the real me”” I’m real” “You’re fake” I’m Real and Chance” are really aliens who are trying to blend in to normal society. So, the next time you run into a reality star on the street (highly unlikely because they chase paparazzi and will only talk to them) tell them ‘I know your secret’…actually don’t, they may just, you know, hurt you and stuff, and please, don’t ask what the stuff means.

Speaking of people who dress up, (I wasn’t really talking about that was I) Halloween was yesterday. I don’t celebrate, so it wasn’t a big deal to me, but it apparently was huge for my 18+ neighbors. The lights in the house were off. we didn’t want to confuse the kiddies on whether or not we were doing anything. However, we ordered in (probably not the best idea) so we were expecting a doorbell ring, and we turned the lights on. Mistake. As soon as we did, kids came up and rang the doorbell. We said sorry. The said ok. We closed the door. A couple minutes later, a door bell. We answered, and this is what happened:

Us: Hello?

Them: Trick or treat!

Us: sorry we don’t celebrate Halloween

Them: (in a deep, manly, too old to trick or treat, voice) What! You’re gonna tell me you don’t take trick or treaters?!

Us: What?

They walked away. I immediately thought, how in the world can someone try to make trick or treating manly? You can’t have a deep voice and demand sugary sweet sour patch kids. It doesn’t work. Of course guys trick or treat, but if you heard those voices… I personally think it’s perfectly cool to be a guy who wears pink and will do stupid girlie things for fun, but these guys were trying to be tough and ask for candy… any way…

First “real” blog out of the way, how did I do?...oh, no one is still here?...that’s right. Whenever someone will visit, tell me how you like it, or most likely don’t like it/me. Let’s face it, if you don’t like this, you don’t like me. I’m not assaulting the shrubbery. Thanks for reading this blog I spent my time on when I should’ve been doing homework! Until next time! :)
