My Life Unemployed # 6


My Life Unemployed # 6

Today I had a interview, didn't apply for jobs, and realized interviews are a load of dog poop.

Interview Update at the YMCA
  I knew the guy hiring me, so it was a little awkward answering questions as if he didn't know me. He started off with the cliché interview question, “So tell me about yourself”. I thought in my head... really... I know you. I had to get in the mind frame of not knowing him. I put on my serious face and went through with it. I answered all the questions as if I didn't know him. At one point he asked the question, “what would your super hero power be and why?”.  I answered, “invincibility” because I believe it's the best super hero power ever. How do you lose a fight to a super villain if your invincible? I failed this question ultimately, because I answered it in a literal sense, as if I was a real super hero fighting real villains. Godd@mnt, I must've sounded like an idiot.
  Since, I really don't know how to iron clothes, my khakis and polo were a little wrinkled but it wasn't like I was interviewing to be the CEO. I applied to be a Wellness Center Attendant. I feel like an “Attendant” demeans the job even more. Anytime someone is an "attendant", you know they don't have a lot of responsibilities, they are just “attending” to things. My goals should be higher, but this is the only interview offer I've had. Beggars can't be choosers or else beggars will become beggars (literally).

Jobs Applied for
Today, I didn't apply for sh*t.  I didn't even look at any employment websites. I was too busy preparing for my 12:00pm interview. I didn't have to time to look for jobs because I had more important things to do like write this blog and go disc golfing. Way to prioritize my life me! I also had my last class of Judo in which I've learned how to fall the “correct way”.  This class was 8 weeks long and we spent half of the class falling down.  I thought this would help me with discipline but in reality it has helped me do nothing but fall on my @ss and get right back up.  So, in theory, I guess I did learn something, "if you fall down get right back up".  

Life Observations
Interviewing is all Bullsh*t!   Meaning if you can out bullsh*t your interviewer then you got yourself a job. I'm too honest to be a bullsh*tter thats why I suck at them. Prepping for a interview is like preparing for an acting gig. You have to remember all your lines, show enthusiasm, and give your best presentation on why they should pick you. Being a good interviewer is being a great actor such as Rob Schneider, Dax Shephard, or Vin Diesel (those are all time greats). To obtain a high demand job, you need to lie on your resume, lie during your interview, and then lie some more. Lie Lie Lie!!!!!! I guess it's good to teach your kids to lie, they'll grow up and lie there way to successful jobs. Not me, I'm going the honest unemployed route.

My Life Unemployed #5


Life Unemployed #5

It's my bittersweet My Life Unemployed #5!

I Want That Obama $$$$$!
I'm thinking about getting them food stamps and unemployment checks from Obama. Hook it up Barack!!! I want that government money! I want to make it rain in the club with that USD! I want those greenbacks! I want other people to work and pay me (while I sit at home picking my butt). Gimmie dat paper!!!!! Hey if the government is offering these perks why not take it? If I get free money I would hook all my boys up. I would take everybody out who reads this out for a drink. Know that fo sho!!!! 100% guarantee. In theory, you helped pay for it so why not pay you employed folks back.

Jobs Applied for

Curative Care Job Coach- This job might be the most ironic job opportunity I have applied to thus far. How is a person like me, who is unemployed, going to tell someone how to do their job? You know? If I worked at Curative Care, I wouldn't hire me. I wouldn't hire a jobless chap like me. Why would you hire someone that doesn't have a job, when their prospective job is going to be teaching someone how to do a job. It makes no sense. Now I know why this job is open, because they hired someone who was unemployed. People who are unemployed don't know how to job coach someone because they didn't have a JOB in the first place. This job is to help those in the workforce who are disabled. It pays $12-$13/hour, benefits, and 3.8 weeks of vacation.

The Weekend Rule
Applying for jobs rule # 12. Never apply for a job on the weekend. Why? It's your time to party, get drunk, and smoke pot. Duhhhh!!!!!! No one is looking at your applications on the weekend. Even if you do submit it, there going to think your trying to hard and proving a point. I've never applied to a job on the weekend but I have feeling I'm going to change my status on this in a few weeks.

I was Employed for 2 hours!!
I volunteered in helping at my gf's mom's coffee stand at a farmers market Saturday morning from 8am to 10am. I wasn't paid in real money but my girlfriend paid in me in groceries. I worked for 2 hours filling drink orders. I poured coffee, lemonade, and mocha's. This was a fun gig. I gained valuable experience in the world of coffee.  Just trying to build that resume up.

Life Unemployed # 4


Life Unemployed # 4

Intro/"Buttfirmation"
Things are not getting better for me. I'm tired mentally, my confidence is dwindling, and my butt hole is physically deteriorating. I got that young diarrhea and I ain't scared to say it. I'm trying to stay positive though, but I'm running out of ways of keeping my butt hole healthy. So, I've resorted to doing affirmations for my @ss. I call them assirmations or buttfirmations.

Here is a few of assirmations that I've been saying each morning to my butthole.

"I'm grateful for my @sshole. It's all that I am and all that is."
"I like my butt. My butt is very lovable. Each day my butt does my best."
"My butt may be in 7 billion but my butt is also one in 7 billion!"

Try some of these butt affirmations and I guarantee that your butt will get out of its funk. I put a 100% guarantee on it. If your not satasfied with your results from these affirmations, I'll personally take a look at your @ss to see what's going on down there.

Jobs Applied For Thursday August 8th
  1. Culligan Water Delivery Driver- Yep, I want to be the Culligan Man!!! Nothing is sexier than being the Culligan Man! Think about how hot that would be? I would be bringing in gallons upon gallons of jugs of water to the thirsty. I would be a hero amongst all those dying of thirst. This has been the most exciting job opportunity I have applied for yet! Bar none. This is a product I could back up too. Water is healthy, especially Culligan water. Actually, I think the main reason I applied for this job is because I didn't want to do a dumb cover letter.
Job Update
I have an interview for a part time job to be a YMCA Wellness Center Attendant on Monday August 12th. However, the hours are Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday nights and Sunday mornings. Yeesh.... however, I'm going for the interview experience.  I most likely will be hungover for this interview.  This may give an advantage though.


Fun Fact of the Day
I needed a breather from all of the job searching I've been doing. It's tiresome and burdening. I needed to take my mind off things, so I visited the ole Casino. It was time to put my worries away and make some money. What else would I do, get a job? Yeah... okkkk.... because that is so eassyyy to do. So, knowing that money is scarce, I went to a $5 Blackjack table with only $25. I actually felt like a low life scum bag. Who goes to the casino when your unemployed unless your retired? Low life slime balls and ME! I know you all want to hear that I lost all my money, but instead I broke even. I think God was giving me a chance to get the hell out of there before I lose it all. Thank you God.

Life Unemployed #3


Life Unemployed #3
Wednesday August 6th Recap
I used the website Jobs That Serve to look at careers on how I could make a difference. This site is for those looking for a rewarding career but get paid dirt cheap. In other words, you make the biggest impact but get paid the least amount.  Isn't that F'd up?  It's a site for non profit professionals. Since all my experience is in non profits, this might be the only chance I get a job. I also have a strong background in farting, pooping, and having a small penis but not a lot of employers are looking for those qualifications. Maybe I need to find a industry in where those qualities are highly desirable.


Job Tips
Since, I've been applying for jobs I've had to write a lot of cover letters. I hate writing cover letters because of the time process. But.... I do have a cover letter system in place for doing them quickly. Firstly, I google search “cover letters”, “sample cover letters”, or “how to write a cover letter”. Then I copy and paste the best sounding sentences from a few sample cover letter websites. Boom! You got yourself a well written cover letter. But....I'm not sure this is a good idea, because if everyone searches “cover letter” on google, then all the applicants will have the same sounding cover letters. But.... That's why I don't click on the first article on “cover letters” because everyone else is. I like to page down and get some of the ones with less hits. See.... Now, that's a job tip for all you job seekers. You heard it here first.

Jobs Applied For
1) Volunteer Manager- Interfaith Senior Programs, Inc- This job works with seniors and recruiting volunteers to work with seniors. Do I like seniors? Kinda. Do they smell? Sometimes. Do there farts smell like World War 2? Yep. I feel like I don't get to interact with geriatrics, so I could learn something from “these kind of people”. It would be nice to talk to people who are not on smart phones, who have a land line, and go to the library to check a book out. It would be blast to eat werthers, prunes, and talk about the good ole days! I actually hope I get a call back. I also had to put a salary requirement for this job. I've never really had to this so I was stumped. So... I undercut my competition and put $25k-30k. Hopefully they take the bait and bite.

Fun Fact
I haven't watched TV all this week since looking for jobs. The only TV I did watch while employed was reruns of Saved by the Bell, Boy Meets World, and Smart Guy. So.. the TV I did watch was all stuff that influenced my life for the better. Oh Well...

Life Unemployed 2


Life Unemployed # 2

Intro
I spent a good 7 hours on the computer looking for jobs. At the end of the day I despised technology. I hated the computer. My eyes were dry, body fatigued, and my immune system weakened due to elongated staring. My risk for cancer probably doubled due to the all the radiation that was emitting from the screen on to my supple body. I felt like a drone. They say looking for a job is a full time job. Well wouldn't it be nice if I got a salary, 401k, and benefits while looking for a job. But that ain't going to happen.

Tuesday August 6 Recap
I set up my first Linkedin account. It's the facebook of professionals. It gives you all the tools to market yourself as a leading professional in your field. It can take an unemployed, homely, non deodorant wearing person like me and turn me into a successful looking human being. You put in your work experience, upload a photo, and put a cool tag line in, then instantly you are a success! I've made 15 contacts in the first 5 minutes of being on this network. It's funny how a lot of my friends use this and look successful. I know my friends as drunks, doosh bags, and dorks, but this site cleans them up nice. It's all perception I guess. I used the tagline “Jack of All Trades!!!”. That'll sure help me get jobs, right? I also made my first comment on the linkedin.com site, “Lets network, do lunch, and build for a better tomorrow”.

Jobs Applied for
  1. I reapplied for the YMCA Wellness Attendant Job since last night It didn't go through. So, I quickly rushed through the application process and sent it through. I hope I didn't spell my name wrong, or put in the wrong address. I just wanted to get it in as quickly as possible.
  2. Customer Service Representative Better Bureau Business- So, this job is full time. The salary is $28,000-$30,000. When I see that number my eyes widen, like OMG... that's a lot of money. I know for most people that's chump change. But I'll be honest I've never made over $25k. If I can make that kind of money. Think of the things I could buy. The world is mine!! But, anyways, this job would be working in a call center. I hate answering phones and making phone calls, it's annoying. I hardly talk to my friends/family so what makes me think I'm going to like doing this job. All I do is text, email, and tweet.

Fun Fact
I feel a lot more productive being unemployed than being employed. When I was employed I was working 3 part time jobs. I was too tired to do things for myself, have a hobby, or run errands. After work I felt like laying on the couch and watch crappy Netflix movies (because they never update the god@mn thing!). Now that I don't have anything to do, I'm a lot more productive. I feel very productive applying for a job that I have 0 to 10% of getting.

My Life Unemployed # 1


My Life Unemployed #1

Intro
    In this blog, I'm going to write about the everyday struggle into how tough it is in finding a job in this economy. Or maybe I find out how easy it is to find a job in this economy and everyone is lying about how hard it is? Maybe all these people who are saying it's hard to find a job aren't trying hard enough, motivated, applying for the wrong jobs, or are pathetic losers.
    It's been a week since I've been unemployed. You definitely have your highs and your lows. Sometimes, you get high then feel low. Then other times your feeling low so you get high. I haven't done the get high/feel low or feel low/get high method (it just sounded clever). A scary thought is having all the time in the world. What do you do? How do you get motivated? How do you stay upbeat?
     With all this time you do things you need to do in life, but then you realize you don't have an income to do the things you need to do. I, ironically have been spending money, lots of it too. While unemployed I bought my first pair of Jordans ($80) and have put in over $300 worth of repairs into my car. I've gotten my oil changed even tough it's been 3,000 miles overdue. I got my window shield crack repaired. I got the muffler fixed so it doesn't sound like a lawn mower. Lastly, I put in a air filter which made me feel like I was a man among men. I've spent more money unemployed in one week than I did all last month when I was employed. Funny how that works.
    Being unemployed has allowed me to do the things I've wanted to do but was too busy to do so when employed. For example like working on my non existent rap and comedy career. It has given me the time to organize all my thoughts onto the computer. I have perfectly organized my comedy bits, lyrics, and video ideas so that I will do nothing with them. I have been able to devote more time to working out, helping my mother out with chores, and spending time on what I'm going to do next.
    You think it's all in fun and games being unemployed, but it's really overrated, unless you have a lot of unemployed friends. I have a lot of employed friends, so I've been just hanging out with myself. Hanging out with myself gets old quick. I'm get annoyed with me and I don't want to hang out with him anymore. Leave me alone ME!!!!!

Monday August 5 Recap
Job Search
    I went through every job category on Craigslist to search for a job. I browsed through the “accounting/finance”, “biotech/science”, “legal/paralegal”, and “tv/film/video categories”. Nothing is off limits. I'm looking at jobs that I have no qualifications for. But that's the great thing about Craigslist. Your never know what your going to find. Your probably asking, “Why is he using Craigslist to find a job? It's not a reputable job site search engine.” Correct. It isn't. But I realize I'm 1 to 2 months into finding a “career”, so why not try to get a job as quickly as possible. Find a entry level job to generate income while I look for a “career”. I put career in quotations because “career” and me are not synonymous. I'm better off finding a career in dog walking or picking up dog poop than being an office stiff or a loan officer.

Jobs Applied For
  1. Milwaukee Bucks Sales Associate- I filled out the online application, submitted a resume, and wrote a cover letter. I don't understand why companies make you fill out an online application and then have you attach a resume. That's doing the same sh*t twice! That makes me not want to work for your company, because it tells me that the company is poorly run and inefficient. This position required 2 years in sales which I don't have. I'm not a pushy, overbearing person so I'm not sure this position would fit. This position would take a lot of motivation as your trying to sell tickets for a team that has no future. That's like me selling tickets for people to watch my best friend poop for an hour (ain't no one going to go pay for that)
  2. YMCA Wellness Attendant- This position is for part time work and pays around $9.00/hour. I know it's part time and low pay but this is better than no hours and no paycheck. It also could lead to a career in fitness or wellness. Maybe, it could lead to a personal trainer position in where I train fat people to get in shape. That would be fun and entertaining. But, I'd rather train a skinny person and watch them get fat though. That would be way more entertaining.

Life Lesson
    I learned it doesn't matter what career you pick your eventually going to hate it. So, those people who say, “follow your dreams” or “do what makes you happy” are lying. There f'ing liars!!! After awhile your going to hate your job and co workers. I've worked at non profits and with kids for the last 8 years, and now I hate working with kids. I don't get anything out of it. I don't feel rewarded anymore. I don't feel good after it. Don't do what you want to do in life, just get paid!

Bloggy Smloggy 67 "Summerfest 2012" Edition


Bloggy Smloggy 67 “Summerfest Edition”
Here is a blog from the summer 2012.  It took me 6 months to post this.  I am very lazy.  Actually, it took me 6 months of editing and correcting all the grammatical errors.

Intro
One of my favorite times of the year. Summerfest! This year I bought an all day access pass for $45 since it's the 45th year anniversary. Gone are the days sneaking in, hopping turnstiles, and/or jumping fences to get in for free. I'm actually.. really going to miss doing that. That was half the fun for summerfest right there. Maybe... just maybe... all do it for old times sake. Also, each day I wore a different NBA jersey.

Summerfest Day 1
Dirty Heads, Lupe Fiasco, and Steve Miller Band
Wednesday June 27th, 2012
Jersey Worn: Jason Kidds Dallas Mavericks

The first day of Summerfest is referred to as “The Big Bang” because of the fireworks. We arrived late because there was so much traffic. We ended up watching the fireworks from the parking lot roof we parked at. Oh well....fireworks are fireworks. To make this summerfest night interesting I brought my one hitter. It's the one hitter that looks like a cigarette but it's really a metal pipe. So with that being said I was feeling “irie” and “chill”. We went to to the Dirty Heads which is like Sublime meets surfer rap. They were very good. A lot of teens were packing pipes around us. It was amusing to watch young high kids pack a bowl.
Then, it was off to Lupe Fiasco, an underground hip hop artist. It took me awhile to realize we were at Lupe Fiasco because he had a live band that sounded like rock music. I asked several times, “Is this Lupe Fiasco?” I was paranoid throughout the whole night, thinking I was going to get knocked out by some random kid, and because of all the loud noise surrounding me.
Lastly, we went to Steve Miller Band. On the way to Steve Miller Band, I saw a co worker of mine. He told me he was getting in trouble with his employer because they caught him peeing in the woods while he was at work. Good luck friend! Fight the good fight. We arrived at the end of Steve Miller band show, so we got to hear all the classics.
I forgot to mention I was wearing a Jason Kidd Dallas Mavericks Jersey. So throughout the night, kids would be like, “I love the jersey... oh yeah.. and you have nice hair...” This happened about 3 times this night. One time, an obnoxious high school kid asked me, “are you the real Jason Kidd?” I responded “of course I am”. He wanted to learn how to shoot so I told him I would teach him.
In conclusion, a lot of dudes liked my jersey and my hair. Hmmmmm....

Summerfest Day 3
Morris Day & The Time / Jimmy Cliff
Friday June 29th, 2012
Jersey Worn: Charles Barkley Phoenix Suns

On this night, me and my brother pre gamed like no other. We finished a bottle of cheap whiskey. Actually the only reason it was cheap is because it was on sale. It was an $18.99 liter for $8.99. The name of the whiskey was... wait for it.. FECKIN spiced. In retrospect, it was so FECKIN good! So, I as I said we polished off this bottle of whiskey and what we didn't finish went into a ziploc bag to sneak in. Just like last year, with my crotch rum, I made some crotch whiskey. So, as soon as we got in, I went to buy a soda. I layed my $3 in a horizontal row on the counter for my purchase. The soda attendant was not impressed but I certainly was amused. On our long journey to find Morris Day & the Time, we ran into a lot of acquaintances. I explained my crotched whiskey to a group who was quite intrigued. One lady wanted to try this drink but her friend had to remind her “it was in his crotch!!!”. I agreed. As we were walking more, we made a friend on the way. He worked at Summerfest and ended up coming. He was quiet and didn't drink. He didn't last long. Morris Day & the Time didn't keep us engaged so It was onward to Jimmy Cliff.
Jimmy Cliff is a classic reggae artist. We got nice and close to the stage and kept walking through the crowds looking for ganja. I wasn't going to smoke any I just wanted to look cool and ask people for it. Unfortunately, I didn't find any, but people pointed me in the right direction. I had the most fun at this concert because I ended up having a “battering ram” contest with some fellow summerfest goers. Aka I had a “human jousting contest” in where we ran into each other and tried knocking each on the ground. I lost the first round as this kid knocked me to the ground. The other three times we tied. Then summerfest was over, it was midnight but we still partied and went to the bars. This is as far as I want to remember.


Summerfest Day 5
Mayer Hawthorne
Sunday July 1st, 2012
Jersey Worn: Michael Jordan Chicago Bulls

Sunday is usually a day of rest for me. I go to grandma's house play cards, enjoy dinner, and lie on the couch and be lazy. However, the greatest modern day soul musician was playing at Summerfest. His name is Mayer Hawthorne. I didn't think I was going to drink before the show but we went to a “welcome home party” for a family friend. We arrived at 3:30pm and we left at 5:00pm because the show started at 6:00pm. I must've had 5 beers and 3 shots in a 1 ½ hour time. I secretly took 2 of those shots when no one was looking. I mean, we were just making excuses to take shots. We just rattled them off like it was nothing. It was nice to see our buddy and we had a lot of excitement, so adrenaline was at an all time high.
On the way to the show, as my mother was the “dd”, we enjoyed miller lites illegally in the backseat. We arrived at summerfest, yet all our adrenaline seemed to disappear in a moment. The concert was good but not great. All our hype was gone. Something was missing. We got drunk in a hour and got sober in a hour. It was quite the oddity, everyone was hammered then sobered up quick. It's still a mystery to me. Sunday Funday was over.

Summerfest Day 6
Tiesto
Tuesday July 3rd, 2012
Jersey Worn: Schlitz

Another deathly hot day in Milwaukee. There were whispers of no fireworks because of the humidity. However, they went off. This night started with the cheapest bottle of Rum I ever bought. I purchased a liter of Fleischmann's Rum (yes, Fleischmann makes Rum now). It was $7.99 but on a sale for $4.99. I had a few drinks before we caught the Summerfest shuttle but I did make a mixed drink in a big gulp cup with half the liter of Rum. This would suffice for the night. As we got on the shuttle, the fireworks were already going off, so we missed those. No big deal... I'm not 4 anymore. We arrive at summerfest and I tell my buddies that we should go to this bar that's near summerfest to get cheaper drinks. So, we go and do a few $4 bombs and I get a mix drink and pound it. I must've been drunk because I bought them a round of bombs. We all have a good buzz and enter Summerfest. My buddies have only one interest in going to the Tiesto show. Tiesto is one of the most popular DJ's in the world and he was performing at the Marcus Amphitheater which was a problem because we didn't have tickets to that show. So, we quickly survey the gates to see if we can sneak in. I'm a little worried but we do some recon and we find a security breach. There is a picnic bench near this fence and no security. Too good to be true. We discuss among ourselves if we should jump the fence. Then.. in a instant my brother jumps the fence. I tell my other buddy, “I guess were doing it”. We hop it and no one sees us. Were in! I thought last year was my last time sneaking into Summerfest. Well, I was wrong. This show was full of ravers of all ages probably on extasy just sweating there glands out. I pumped my fist, screamed, and dripped all kinds of man sweat. This concert sobered me up without a doubt.


Summerfest Day 8
Death Cab for Cutie
Thursday July 5th, 2012
Jersery Worn: Jason Kidd Dallas Mavericks (again)

I'm not sure how old Death Cab for Cutie is, but if your in this band and over 30 your no longer cute. I think you need cut down your name to “Death Cab”. I didn't feel like drinking so I decided to do the other “vice”. This other “vice” got me nice and chill and I was ready to enjoy their music. A few teenagers remembered me from the Jimmy Cliff concert. He was very excited to see me. I didn't recognize him and I still don't. I played it off like I remembered and we exchanged high 5's. I wish I knew what we did at the concert. Oh well... you win some you lose some and you lose some more.

Summerfest Day 9
Fitz and the Tantrums
Friday July 6th, 2012
Jersey Worn: Latrell Sprewell Golden State Warriors

Started this night at Aarons House. We pre gamed with Blackheart Rum (best mid range priced Rum in the game right now). We filled 20oz bottles of cola with half rum for road sodas. We also filled ziploc bags of rum to sneak in. Remember, this is called crum (see crotch equals rum). I filled 2 bags.. one for front and one to put in the back. We were meeting friend's there, so we had to wait for them at the gate. While waiting at the gate, we slammed are road sodas full of cola/rum. This was a bad idea because this is why I probably don't remember the Fitz and the Tantrums show. Another bad idea was making 2 ziploc bags of rum to sneak in. When I got in, I bought my soda and talked with the soda guy about how I was going to mix it. He was a little annoyed.. whatever. Arrived at the concert and had to maneuver my way into the front. One lady in particular didn't take too kindly to this and yelled at me screaming, “we've been here since 6pm”. I let her yell at me and acted like I didn't care. Then somehow we made it into the front row. My brother tried to fake push me over the fence. Security didn't like this and gave me a warning. Also, another guy tried getting in my face. I can't really tell you why but I almost freaked out. It was time to leave this concert. We stopped at Thievery Corporation to hear a song that I don't remember. Summerfest was over but my night was not. I apparently ran to Flannery's by myself. When my brother arrived he noticed I was talking to a random guy and drinking his vodka/seltzer. He had this idea to go to Dicks, so we went. My dream came true tonight. Who did I see at Dicks? Latrell Sprewell. And coincidentally I was wearing his basketball jersey from the Golden State Warriors era. From what I hear I tapped his shoulder saying “hey I'm wearing your jersey”. I guess I was playing with his hair. I'm surprised I wasn't knocked out. Apparently, the manager who we know works there talked to him about the incident the day after. He was cool about the situation. I guess my claim to fame is saying, “i played with Latrell Sprewell's hair”.

Summerfest Day 10
Anthony Hamilton/ Common
Saturday July 7th, 2012
Jersery Worn: Old School Milwaukee Bucks tank
I didn't even want to go to Summerfest tonight because of the raging I was doing the days previous. However, if you go to Dukes before 9pm, you have no option to party and do shots because everything is a $1. Well, all rail drinks and crap taps are $1. It started at 6:30pm with a few beers and then mixed drinks and then shots. I'll tell you that rail whiskey and rail tequila is by far the worst shots one can take. One guy in our group vomited because of the hannous taste.
This bar had a shuttle to summerfest which was nice. Our plan was to take the 8pm bus. We were all boarded on the bus and then decided to get off because we wanted to drink for another hour and take the 9pm shuttle. So, we did more $1 shots. I mean people were buying shots like they were being sold for pennies.
We boarded the 9pm bus which was pretty rowdy. We thought about sneaking out the backdoor because traffic was so hectic, yet we were so close to Summerfest. I'm pretty sure the bus driver had seen enough of drunk adults. He snapped and with a pissed off Ice Cube rant, he yelled “ if you open that mutha fuk*in back door all ya'll muth fukas will get off the bus right now”. I literally got scared but not really because I said “yeahh yeeeahhh” in my best Ice Cube rendition.
We arrived at the grounds and saw Anthony Hamiltion. I didn't care for him because he is R & B but he was good and uptempo. I remember some random girls asking if I was Jewish and then they started speaking Hebrew. We decided to leave the show and walk around. On our walk we bumped in some one we knew. They were at this VIP section of a rooftop where they got free beer. We were interested and were hoping that they would share their passes with us. We went to the rooftop they were at but couldn't find them. I tried sneaking through the back stairs but was stopped by this lady. I got yelled at security and played dumb like I knew what I was doing. Then it was off to see Common, who I enjoy immensely. This concert was a blast even though we caught the end of it.

The End.. See you next year Summerfest..
