This weekend was pretty fun. Hiromi and I hung out a bunch. We went and saw Grindhouse. it was entertaining. I didn’t like planet terror.

I love metal. Seriously. I love it. And metal concerts are always full of the most interesting experiences. However – the last couple shows I have been to I haven’t really been into it. I remember back in the day when Matiss and I went to go see Dimmu Borgir and how awesome it was.  [...]

Is Britney Spears?

Oh boy, oh boy. Last night kstar came up and we went to the Britney Spears concert. We sat in our seats and realized that we were surrounded by screaming 13 year olds. It was insanity. O-town opened for her and they were horrible. They had a hip hop part.. they sang the puff daddy song “wanna be a baller,” it was funny the only guys who rapped were the “ethnic” guys. well I guess that isn’t…
