Bridgey Speaks

That is how I would describe last night’s Green Day concert. It was amazing.

Back in February Dave and I won tickets to the show, which quickly sold out. We had be told several times that the tickets were not yet available, and we were starting to worry. We were finally told that we could pick up tickets at Will Call, so that is where we went.

Upon receiving our tickets, we checked them to see where we were seated. We thought we’d probably have nose-bleed seats, but we didn’t care because it was Green Day. As we asked the Will Call guy what our seat numbers meant, he explained that we were going to be in one of the luxury boxes!

We were SO very excited. Luxury box!?! Seriously? We were the first of the group up to the box, and man, it was great. beautiful leather seats, free Cokes, and free pizza! We had a great view of the concert, and the sound was great from our location. We had room to jump around, and constant access to liquid refreshment–anecessity for all of the screaming.

The concert itself was fantastic. Green Day is great in concert. They are very animated performers, especially Billy Joe. He really had the crowd involved, and even pulled several people on stage. These guys are truly stars and have earned their fan base. I would totally see them in concert again if given the chance.

Dave and I were talking on our way in to Entropy today. I needed to get those Halls Defense drops to try to fight off all the germs around me. This was the topic: Don’t you hate it when people who are obviously sick tell you “I’m not contagious”? I mean, are you a doctor? Did you go to the doctor where he/she told you that you have a bacterial infection, and you’ve been taking antibiotics for 3 days? No? Okay, then I don’t believe you. I *might* buy that it’s just allergies, if the precdent is there, but otherwise, I don’t believe you. If you are sick, admit it, and keep your germs to yourself!

You may have seen these in an email forward lately, but I enjoyed them too much not to share.

Questions to Ponder:

Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are getting weak?

Why do banks charge a fee on “insufficient funds” when they know there is not enough?

Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check when you say the paint is wet?

Why doesn’t glue stick to the bottle?

Why do they use sterilized needles for death by lethal injection?

Why doesn’t Tarzan have a beard?

Why does Superman stop bullets with his chest, but duck when you throw a revolver at him?

Why do Kamikaze pilots wear helmets?

Whose idea was it to put an “S” in the word “lisp”?

If people evolved from apes, why are there still apes?

Why is it that no matter what color bubble bath you use the bubbles are always white?

Is there ever a day that mattresses are not on sale?

Why do people constantly return to the refrigerator with hopes that something new to eat will have materialized?

Why do people keep running over a string a dozen times with their vacuum cleaner, then reach down, pick it up, examine it, then put it down to give the vacuum one more chance?

Why is it that no plastic bag will open from the end your first try?

How do those dead bugs get into those enclosed light fixtures?

When we are in the supermarket and someone rams our ankle with a shopping cart then apologizes for doing so, why do we say, “It’s all right?” Well, it isn’t all right so why don’t we say, “That hurt, you stupid idiot?”

Why is it that whenever you attempt to catch something that’s falling off the table you always manage to knock something else over?

In winter why do we try to keep the house as warm as it was in summer when we complained about the heat?

How come you never hear father-in-law jokes?

If at first you don’t succeed, shouldn’t you try doing it like your wife told you to do it?

And obviously if at first you don’t succeed, then don’t take up sky diving!

The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four persons is suffering from some sort of mental illness. Think of your three best friends, if they’re okay, then it’s you.

I spent last weekend in NYC visitng Erin for her 30th birthday. It was a surprise, so even though I’ve wanted to post about how excited I’ve been about the trip, I had to keep it on the down low. Tara also came in from Chicago, and I rode to NY with Erin’s friend from elementary school, Melanie. We all had a great time! NYC in Spring with great weather is wonderful. Add in 3 lovely girlfriends, and it can’t be beat. Erin was definitely surprised that we were there. We may have even overwhelmed her a bit. But it was definitely good times.
