22 Adult Truths

My friend Jerome Vivona shared this post by Steven H. Nowak on Facebook.

I have to say I agree with just about everything here:

22 ADULT TRUTHS

1. Sometimes I’ll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times; and still not know what time it is.

2. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you’re wrong.

3. I totally take back all those times I didn’t want to nap when I was younger.

4. There is great need for a sarcasm font.

5. How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?

6. Was learning cursive really necessary?

7. Map Quest really needs to start their directions on # 5. I’m pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.

8. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.

9. I can’t remember the last time I wasn’t at least kind-of tired.

10. Bad decisions make good stories.

11. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you know that you just aren’t going to do anything productive for the rest of the day.

12. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blu-Ray? I don’t want to have to restart my collection… again.

13. I’m always slightly terrified when I exit out of a Word document and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten-page technical report that I swear I did not make any changes to.

14. I keep some people’s phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.

15. I think the freezer deserves a light as well.

16. I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with “Miller Lite” than “Kay”.

17. I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.

18 How many times is it appropriate to say “What?” before you just nod and smile because you still didn’t hear or understand a word they said?

19. I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars team up to prevent a jerk from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers and sisters!

20. Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Jeans? Jeans never get dirty; and you can wear them forever.

21. Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket; finding their cell phone; and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey… but I’d bet everyone can find and push the snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time, every time.

22. The first testicular guard, the “Cup,” was used in Hockey in 1874 and the first helmet was used in 1974. That means it took only 100 years for men to realize that their brain is also important.

Sign of the day: Yeah Yeah Yeahs have had enough of smart phone video at their concerts

A major pet peeve of mine has been the exponentially exploding practice of concert goers holding their smart phones up – often the entire concert – to video record the show. 

Apparently, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs have had enough of it too.  The above sign was posted at the band’s appearance at Webster Hall a few nights ago.

From Spin:

Karen O reiterated the band’s request at the top of the second song (an incredible rendition of Show Your Bones‘ “Gold Lion”), telling the crowd to snap away as much as they liked for the next few minutes, but then “put those motherfuckers away.”

Spin tweeted out a pic of the sign and response was huge, and very supportive.

A few months ago, I sat behind some idiot at a concert who held their iPad –  a big-ass iPad! – up in the air blocking my view, so she could record the show.

Meanwhile, NO ONE who’s doing that is getting anything for their money.  They’ve paid to attend a concert they are watching through a small camera screen.  They get home and all they’ve got is crappy footage.

AND they are ruining the music experience for those around them.

Bravo to the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
