OK that sounds like a 12 year old but its true! Over the past month I've been to not one but TWO great shows here in NYC. First up was The Fratellis @ The Roseland Ballroom. So first things first - If I ever wanted to lose weight (which I am in the midst of) all I'd need to do i spend a day at Roseland. Wow! No AC + hundreds and hundreds of people = bad wage sweat shop! Yikes... Luckily the Boys came out swinging and hitting hard, running through what seemed like most of the song catalog :o Check them out - I would recommend starting with these: For The Girl Flathead (from the iPod commercial) My Friend John Babydoll Last night Andrea and I hit up the Nokia Theatre in the heart of Times Square. I want to say this about the place - what a VERY VERY cool venue to see a show! I've been there twice now, once in the seats in the back and once (last night) standing up on the floor in front. I recommend the floor in front :) So we got there after dinner around 8:15 PM and I'm still not sure if there was an opening act but within literally 5 minutes of walking into the theatre they came out! Strange. I hadn't experienced that before. usually I'm there a fortnight before the main act goes on. So worked out just perfectly. All I can say is: GREAT BIG SEA! GREAT BIG SEA! GREAT BIG SEA! One of my all time fav bands did justice playing for what seemed like an eternity (thank god - a band that actually PLAYS for a while). The place was literally jumping up and down almost every song and the sing alongs were superb! The band itself just generates alot of excitement from the crowd and they are truly funny on stage (those funny Canadians!) Well, actually they are from Newfoundland. But who cares, they make AMAZING music. Highly, highly recomended. get off your arses and go see them live. I think I've converted Andrea! hehe. It's almost impossible for me to just choose a few tunes to recommend, but here goes: Mary Mac The Night That Pat Murphy Died Walk On The Moon When I Am King When I'm Up Sea Of No Cares Stumbling In Jack Hinks

Uninspired, sloppy, disgraceful, sleepy... I'm not sure just how many BAD adjectives I could use after that pathetic showing of a match against arch-rival Liverpool. First time in 8 matches that Liverpool has beaten ManU. Bollocks!! Rooney was simply pathetic... AGAIN! He is showing absolutely nothing in 3 matches so far this year. Ronaldo is injured and Rooney has to step up and I actually think he has step down! Vidic getting thrown out for 2 yellow cards, what a shmo. Worse part about that is that now he isn't even eligible to play in the next Premiere League match.. against #1 CHELSEA!! Great job by Van Der Sar and Wes Brown to score a goal - in their own net! Great teamwork. More and more ManU is proving it has absolutely NO CHANCE of placing in top 5 in this league without Ronaldo. Team has absolutely no one that can be counted on to put the ball in the net. The attack is non-existant and we have no one who knows how to cross worth a dime. Great.... :(

Is it me or should Palin spend more time working on her own family and not running for Vice President??!! So potentially we could see a woman sitting Vice President all the while her 17 year old underage daughter is taking care of her bastard child in the White House?? So while mom is playing Vice President and daddy is out playing shoot the moose in some Alaskan wildlife preserve somewhere, this little girl is going to be raising a BABY? Are we serious?

Great article. (via Washington Post) Biden, Obama a Comfortable Fit on the Campaign Trail

Really this election cycle has produced some of the best videos to date. Thank god for You Tube! (I'm sure you can gleam who is Beauty and who is the Beast for yourselves!) McCain/Palin = Beauty & The Beast

Wow. This one just keeps getting better and better. So much for them good ole family values, eh?! So McCain knew she was under investigation in Alaska for a firing issue, also knew her 17 year old daughter was pregnant and STILL decided to choose this woman, knowing full well she would be beaten up in the press for it all. So basically it shows just how unfit John McCain is to run this country making BAD decision after BAD decision time and time again. First he chooses a lightweight nobody of a VP candidate with absolutely no experience on a national level, from a mini-state that is so inconsequential it won't even hep him win votes (blunder #3 if you are counting). Then knows she has major issues, is keenly aware of them BEFORE he chooses her as per the national media, and STILL chooses her. Guess he is just THAT stoopid... Wow. What a Mergatroid!
