Time for a recap of summer happenings in my world. June was a great month. I aged another year, which could be good or bad depending on your point of view. I had a conversation with someone recently who said that they think men dread aging even more than women do. Overall, I think people tend to place too much importance on numerical age. It’s just a number. Right? RIGHT??? I DON’T WANT TO GET OLD!!!!!Sorry, cough cough.June ended bombastically with my favorite freaking band in the hemisphere coming to Riverbend music center: RUSH. If you don’t know who they are, smack yourself in the face right now. And no, it’s not a woman singing.
But that reminds me, I came across a band that covers Rush, Metallica, and others using toy instruments. Their name is Plastica, and they are hilarious. Here’s a link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jr8BtQRUVq8
Also at Riverbend was Snoop Dogg and 311. Snoop came out in a Chad Ocho Cinco jersey. The place was crackin’ as Snoop spat his dope rhymes over smokin’ beats. I’ve never seen so many suburban white-kids thowin’ their hands up in the err, and wavin’ em like they just don’t kerr. Summer was a time of festivals as well. The annual catholic church festivals never let you down with their abundance of alcohol and gambling. I play Big 6, and let it ride on the 4 baby. Is anybody still reading this blog? Yet again, another reason why Cincy has got it goin’ on is GOETTAFEST. And not just one Goettafest, rather two Goettafests-one in Covington and one in Newport. I love it. Got Goetta? Go get it! Both festivals were outstanding, but I really enjoyed the Covington one. The people that live in Covington, Kentucky are so cool and interesting ;) Which leads me to Schützenfest and Germania’s Oktoberfest. To me, these are the real Oktoberfests as opposed to the downtown one (although thousands doing the chicken dance is not a bad thing). I wore my green hat, and served Warsteinner at Germania. To say that it was a good time would severely understate everything concerning the matter. Oh, and I took up gardening. I’ve got pumpkins well on their way along with cabbage, cauliflower, and squash. I also started growing herbs such as Cilantro, Mint, Thyme, Oregano, etc. Going green the old-fashion way! I’ll try to get some pics up soon. I didn’t realize how much I did this summer until I wrote this blog. Weird. That brings things up to speed. More or less. Classes have started. Blahg. I like Fall, or Autumn. Which do you say?
End of recap.
