Apparently, I was too enthusiastic in trying to get internet presale tix this morning. Now Ticketmaster has blocked my IP, and the general sale is tomorrow

I owe my HOA $30 in late fees, which is fine. I paid at the very end of the month twice, and the payments didn't get processed until the next month, so I'm not upset about the fees themselves because that's my own fault. But I am irritated that one of them is from June and the other is from August, and I have never received any notice that I owe a late fee. If I hadn't volunteered to be on the Board, I still wouldn't know about either one because they apparently just keep letting them roll over until you owe enough for them to bother sending you a notice.

My HOA is pretty bad about this too. I had a late fee from one month, and each subsequent month my payment went to that old balance first. And so I wasn't paying the full monthly fee, so id get another late fee tacked on, plus interest on the balance. This happened for like 6 months before I got a huge bill in the mail and threat of a lien. That was a fun argument to have, over a $25 fee I would have paid if id known.
I realize that a lot of fraternities have bad qualities and do bad things. The worst thing to ever happen to fraternities was that stupid TFM website that encourages kids to act stupid and come into college expecting it to be like Animal House. I know some idiots in fraternities, but I also know some of the nicest guys who are brothers in fraternities. I hate that people now label anyone in a fraternity as a bad guy when really it is a just small percentage of idiots.
I'm in two fraternities (yes, FRATernities, they're co-ed. One is a service one the other is an honors one) and everyone in both of mine are really awesome people. There are two sororities though on main campus that I know like 5 girls from each and they're awful. They're really dumb and are clearly in it just for the party. Which is fine, because sisterhood and fellowship is just as important as any other part of Greek life, but they don't participate in any of the service events their house holds. That really annoys me....
Wednesday night while driving home from school, I seen a deer standing right next to the side of the road. Clearly visible as I'm going by at 50 something mph.
It's the season again *sigh* ... really don't want to mow another one down with my car.
Go to the show, down tons of caffeinated beverages in the morning?
Pretty much.. almost didn't get in because of capacity .. stood outside for maybe 90 minutes? Had to listen to the beginning of the Ratking set right outside the door, but they sounded dope so I will definitely follow up on seeing them again
and Charles Bradley killed it, and I'm glad I went because I don't think I'll ever have the opportunity to see him again
I just found out that my sweet, dear Grandma passed away last night. I am heartbroken. She helped raise me when that my mother could not.
Heather and I are both sorry for your loss. It is always hard when the ones we love are no longer with us. Just remember she is always in your heart and in your dreams.

"I love music. For me, music is morning coffee. It's mood medicine. It's pure magic. A good song is just like a good meal. I just want to inhale it and then share a bite with someone else." - Hota Kotb
Dear Blonde Bitch who tried to ruin the Neil Young concert for me,
I told you three times that there wasn't any room in front of me, yet you had to squeeze in anyways and push me into the guy standing behind me. Then you had the nerve to light a cigarette and blow the smoke in my face (you almost hit me with the cigarette a few times while waving your hands around). Here is where I want to apologize to you. I should not have grabbed the cigarette out of your hand and burned your shoulder with it. It was 90 degrees outside with no shade and I had been waiting up front since 9 AM - almost 8 hours and you come in 5 minutes before Neil is supposed to come on and push your way to the front. I was ticked off and irritated and I overreacted. I should have asked you politely to put out your cancer stick instead of grabbing it, putting it out on your shoulder, throwing it on the ground and stomping it repeatedly with my boot. I'm sure I made a fool of myself in front of everyone standing nearby (I could see the shocked look on their faces). I have had three close relatives die from lung cancer in the past two years, plus my dad beat lung cancer a few years ago, and seeing people smoking near me fills me with anger and rage. I don't mind if people smoke at concerts as long as you aren't blowing the smoke directly in my face and I'll usually ask you politely to put it out if it is bugging me. However, you need to show a little respect. Do not light a cigarette in a crowd of people that you just pissed off by shoving your way to the front. I would really like to thank you, Blonde Bitch, for not punching me in the face (I could tell you wanted to) although I think it's gross that you would pick up the cigarette off the ground and relight it. My boot had horse shit on it from accidentally stepping in it on the way from the parking lot to the stage (there were police horses patrolling the parking lot). I thought you did the right thing by pushing your way to the other side of the stage when another lady asked you to put out your horse shit cigarette because it was disgusting, although I'm sure the people on the other side of the stage weren't too happy with you either. After you left I had a great time watching Neil and the Nelson boys. I'm going to pray that you don't get cancer from your disgusting habit because it's something that I don't want anyone to ever have to deal with, even entitled brats who think they deserve to be up front no matter what even if that means ruining a good time for others. Again, I'm sorry that I overreacted. I will not be doing general admission concerts any more - too many morons attend and try to ruin things for everyone.
Your fellow concert goer, Crazy lady who burned you with your own cigarette at the Neil Young concert

How were you able to watch the Vikings game if you waited in line all day?

Not going to lie, I probably would've punched you in the face for causing physical harm to my body first.
Also...I would've never put myself in that position in the first place. I don't like to be up front. Not enough dancing room.
Also...I know how to enjoy a cigarette in a crowd because I'm not an asshole. And yes...I did say enjoy.
Also...have you ever had a cigarette put out on your skin? Shit hurts and will leave a scar. I have three jenky freckles on my arm from this. Not cool, bro. I really don't think the punishment fits the crime of concert etiquette.
You could've walked away. You chose not to based on principal. She couldn't un-burn herself.
I have injured my hip with my new weight/exercise routine I have an appointment tomorrow morning with a sports medicine doctor. Reading up on hip issues, I think it's my hip flexor that is injured, which is apparently a common injury for athletes. Just hoping it's a strain and not a tear. But man, this crap hurts.
