this is what the label of my glaceau vitamin water says...

formula 50

grape (50% daily dose)

inspired by today's most talked about artist, hottest record producer, and soon-to-be movie star, this "not so-hypnotic" tonic contains (hint, hint) 50 (per) cent of many of the important vitamins that you need every day.

however, unlike mister fifty (or "fiddy" as the kids say), this drink does not contain talent, a seven-figure recording deal, platinum jewelry, a big entourage, or a bulletproof vest.

...now that's a witty label. bravo, glaceau vitamin water, bravo for making my label reading/beverage partaking experience a humorous one.

thoughts from the back row

well...maybe not the back row. we were pretty far away...but still not back row.

anyway...ash, ben, and i had a fantastic time at the kelly clarkson concert voicing the thoughts of a few odd balls sitting around us. and really...what else are you supposed to do when the lady sitting directly in front of you has hair so big that it could probably be seen clearly from space thereby creating an unbelievable obstruction in your view? honestly, people. factor in the males of questionable nature, middle aged mothers attempting to look as young as their preteen daughters, and an open bar...and you've got the makings of a great few hours of people watching.

by questionable i am referring to the fact that it isn't normal for a college aged boy to be waving a glow stick in the air and singing the words to EVERY kelly clarkson song...from both albums...while the girl he came with...possible girlfriend...stares in disbelief. honestly...she may want to rethink that relationship. he did compete well against the preteen girls in the glow stick wave/lyric recitation event.

and in reference to another male of questionable nature...it isn't normal to wear your hair like a porrcupine, wear your sunglassess in a concert venue (AT NIGHT) and sing all the songs into your cell phone while screaming "kelly, your so fine" from the balcony and dancing around like you had a little more than alcohol. seriously...i think he forgot where he was.

it was truly a spectacle.

it's the bottom of the ninth...and we are down by one. batter #1 hits a pop fly and of course becomes out #1. batter #2 hits one long into right/center field. it drops in just short of the wall...triple play. batter #3 gets a walk. runners on 3rd and 1st. batter #4 gets pegged by a wild inside pitch...he gets to walk. now...bases are loaded...and one out. the crowd is tense with anticipation. one well placed shot and we win the game. enter batter #4. the pitcher fires...and he swings. the result was a beautiful and very long shot into left field...right down the 3rd base line where no one could get to it before damage was done. and that's the game. 15 minutes later...an amazing fireworks display...30 mins later...a mass exodus of 50,000 people from ameriquest field. and the rangers beat the boston red soxs. how sweet it is.
