This is Why My Life Rocks.

I met this band online, then interviewed them, made them a PNN Page, and then helped them become a featured band on PNN.

Most importantly, they crack me up, and I am perpetually rocking out to their tunes.

These photos make me want to rock out!

...which brings me to another point. I tend to burst into semi-obscure movie/Friends quotes that not many people get. Unless the person I am quoting to is my mom, I tend to get a lot of wierd looks. Marissa gets some too, but not all. For example, she wouldn't have gotten my break out of Pippin quotes after lunch the other day when I was STILL hungry (we've had one yes. But what abut second breakfasts? I don't think he knows about second breakfasts. What about elevensies? tea? luncheon? supper? dinner? Thankfully, Natalie got that one after a little aid.) but she would have gotten the apple pie a la mode joke last night. (i'd like strawberry if you have it). Only my old friend Brian used to get my Friends references, but I haven't seen him in years. : (

Anyway, Ashley probably gets the title of this post. These photos are of a cool band called Art Brut (courtsey of their myspace). They have a song that includes the lyrics:

"Modern art makes me want to rock out!"













Possible Solutions:

1. Expose my friends to the fabulousness of the media I enjoy.
2. Get new friends.
3. Stop acting like such a dork.
4. Stop caring that people look at me like I am crazy when I quote things they don't get.

Any suggestions? : )

Something Cool

I did a photo shoot for my friend Nicolette and her jazz trio. These were my two favorite shots.

Snoop Dogg's Orange Juice

I just can't get over the fact that Snoop Dogg brought a glass of orange juice on stage with him when he presented a VMA a few weeks ago. Granted, it was probably more screwdriver that orange juice, but the sight of him prooved a long standing point of mine: Snoop has a very strange amount of power. It started a few years ago when he began popping up in cell phone commercials. "A gangster rapper in a cell phone commercial," I noted. "He's either sold out or he has something he can hang over the heads of all the right people." Now it's clear. Any bean pole who can sip a glass of citral pulp in front of all the celebrity A-listers without anyone pointing out the elephant in the room (that Snoop is in fact, very dorky looking) has some crazy power going on.
