Am I so wrong for laughing at this?

The macchiatos I'll admit to.

  • Brien: Most Hollywood relationships are built solely on appearance
  • Me: I'm not Hollywood!!
  • Brien: . . . . . . .
  • Brien: You eat at Urth Caffe and drink macchiados
  • Me: (macchiatos)
  • Brien: WHATEVER.
  • Brien: POINT PROVEN.
  • This is why this guy is one of my best friends. Straight talk since '05.

There were choruses and sing-alongs, and that unspoken feeling of knowing right now is all that matters.
It still brings a smile to my face.

Waiter gets canned after Twittering.

Ingels still doesn’t believe what he was doing was wrong. It was more documentation than slander, he asserted.

The out-of-work waiter is searching for jobs in catering to support himself and his daughter. Ingels still appears to hold some spite for Adams. “All she could think about was herself and her pride and her ego,” he griped.

But Ingels acknowledges his own mistake. “In the end, if I didn’t write anything, I would still have a job,” he said.

I can’t believe people are still surprised when they get canned for posting things that could be construed as unprofessional on the Internet.  Just because you have the ability to post whatever is on your mind at any given point on a variety of social media sites, doesn’t mean you should.  The Internet doesn’t have a trash bin where you can simply delete a picture showing you completely wasted, lying in your own vomit on Saturday night.  Or, in this case, twittering about who’s showing up at a restaurant that you’re working at.

And it’s not as if this is anything new for Hollywood. Whether you may or may not have signed a confidentiality agreement for a restaurant doesn’t mean it’s simply okay to Tweet about who’s showing up, and especially giving commentary that’s anything less than completely positive. If Ingels had still made comments about who was showing up at his restaurant, but they were all positive or neutral, his former job may have reprimanded him for posting the information on the Internet, but he probably would have kept his job.

Articles like these, with the people at fault making some of the remarks they do, are just really frustrating.

I love my life.

I love my life.

"Luck is when opportunity meets preparation."

It’s the little things that you remember, but just not quite the way that they feel until they’re back in your life on a daily basis.  I know I’m one of the luckiest girls in the world to be able to do something that I genuinely love and look forward to, and to be able to support a lifestyle of my choosing at the same time.  It’s easy to get jaded after being apart of this for so long, but there are still those moments where I want to pinch myself and question whether or not this is reality.  I’m absolutely greatful every day I wake up to realize that this is my life.

Warped Tour 2009 has swung it’s way back around and once again I find myself moving in to the familiar home of a tourbus, sliding in to a claustrophobic, yet absolute cozy bunk and storing my luggage in the bays.  This summer started far better than last, and it was wonderful.  Last year, though I had already completed a summer of VWT it hadn’t been the previous summer, so walking in I felt like the new kid all over.  Introducing myself and feeling like the assumption was that I had never toured before and was simply a doe-eyed young girl heading out on an adventure one can’t really explain in words, only through watching the events unfold in person.

The days since have been tumultuous.  The first couple days are a little tricky, trying to figure out the little things that only come to light as you’re setting up the tent and loading in equipment, merchandise, and so forth for the first time.  We realized we didn’t have more than a couple of things that we needed for our tent, and every tour before this that I’ve done, if a tent was needed, it was always a 10x10.  This year, I’m working in a 20x20 tent by myself.  Granted, I have a girl with me that I knew from last summer that comes in for some time each day and helps me out, but for the most part the tent is my responsibility.  It reminds me of that quote that I’ve heard a couple of my pals spreading around twitter and so forth, “Luck is when opportunity meets preparation.”  The first and second years that I worked on Warped Tour, I wasn’t completely ready.  This year, my third on this tour, I feel ready.

It’s close to midnight and I’m probably failing to make real sense while being extremely wordy.  We just wrapped up with Phoenix, and I’m ready to call it a day.

Las Cruces, NM in the morning.  San Antonio, TX followed by my favorite holiday, 4th of July in Austin, TX.  Can’t wait.

I get it, I get it...

Ouch.  Tumblr has officially kicked me from the cool table in the cafeteria.
