Pass Down the Eye Cream: MTV Turning 25

Tomorrow is MTV’s Birthday.

They won’t be celebrating with the rest. Apparently, in the entertainment world, 25 is the new 40. Now instead of worrying about being over the hill, we’re supposed to be worried about starting the trek up the hill.

Considering that I wasn’t even born when MTV debuted, (I like saying that, it proves that I don’t need the eye cream just yet) I don’t have much of a recollection for the early years and what made MTV the atrocity fabulous network it is today. I was around for The Real World and Road Rules when they were at their height of popularity, and I even remember when they truly were MUSIC television. Kind of. There was even a time in my life when I tuned in for the latest episodes of Laguna Beach. So how did I become the old fart in the relationship?

Maybe it’s because I just can’t get into it anymore. I guess it’s because I’m moving out of the age bracket of their target audience. I mean, I’m sort of an adult, and I don’t have off in the summertime, I have a job, I’m responsible. Oh! That must be it! They want all of the loser, unemployed, drunk-in-college-but-not-quite-21 people to make them feel younger. I guess MTV and I have to part ways. There’s no way they want to be seen with an older woman.

To be quite frank, there’s no way I want to be seen with the alcoholics that make up the MTV crew, so it all works in everyone’s favor.

He Never Disappoints

I went to my second Brad Paisley concert of the year. It was tons of fun. He’s highly entertaining and actually seemed to be a little more upbeat than the last time.

On tour with Brad this year is up-and-comer Eric Church. The first single off of his album Sinners Like Me is How ‘Bout You, which is an upbeat tune about his standards for living acquired through his upbringing. Sort of. If you get a chance, head over to his website and check him out! I don’t want to brag or anything, but during the concert his guitarist was looking right at me, so when I waved, he smiled and nodded back to me. Also, when I yelled “We love you Eric!” it made the whole group chuckle, Eric included. It wasn’t hard to pick my friends and I out though, because the rest of the audience was super-boring and we were the only ones standing during Eric’s performance. That could also be because we were the only ones with enough forsight to purchase his CD before the concert.

Anyway! The last time I wrote about the Brad concert I was upset because I didn’t catch his hat. Well, I didn’t catch it this time either because we were further away from the stage and his throw was a little wimpy (sorry Brad, but it’s true). I also didn’t get a guitar pick because we were in the middle-ish of our row and would have had to push past 5 or 6 people just to get out. Bummer.

But! Last time, if you’ll remember, I told you that during his song “The World” Brad has beach-ball-type globes thrown into and bounced around the audience. Good friend H caught one!!!! Yay H! Congrats! It was definately a great part of the evening!

So go check out the Time Well Wasted tour when it comes to your area!

Little Moments

Do you ever have one of those evenings that make you breathe better?

L and I went out to The Melting Pot last night for dinner. For those of you who’ve never been there before, it’s a wonderful fondue restaurant with a very romantic atmosphere, but not so much so that you couldn’t enjoy a trip with friends. It had been six months or so since we’d been there last, and we decided that we needed to go.

It was the most relaxing time I’ve had in a while. We had a great time just being with one another without an agenda to follow.

We discussed everything from politics, to religion, to our upcoming wedding. It was a wonderful time and a time that reminds me all over again why I love this man and truly cannot wait to marry him. He’s sweet and understanding, romantic and deep. I love every little moment with him, and I am so excited to spend many more.

Help!

Ok, so I figured out why whenever I posted it came up blank, it’s because I was trying to insert a hyperlink. Whenever I try to insert one, the post goes blank whenever I try to publish it. GGGGRRRRRR! If anyone knows how to fix this, PLEASE help me!
