la_belle_laide | Le Jared, and some pre-trip stuff (Reply)

Awww, sad! Malama pono kou kino, Le Jared, get better soon. Sorry to all you folks out there who made plans to see this concert. Hopefully they will reschedule.

Yeah, I still lurk around the board because it does have the quickest official news, and yeah, I am waiting on tour dates for late winter, because the shows I saw were somuch fun I'd do it again. Jared recently said that they as a group have nothing to do with their web sites, but they have representatives taking care of that stuff, so it's not so much the band that I'm disappointed with over the state of their boards now that i know that. But still, the people there are representing them. And why are there tons of threads cheering racism, cheering violence towards women, cheering the killing of Iraqis, and all of these go unchecked and undeleted? It's obvious that the mods delete threads that they disapprove of (e.g., the one I made in which I commented that the dancers on stage at the Chainsaw awards looked like something out of a Pat Benatar video, not to mention countless other threads by other people that weren't 100% positive.) Logically, one could take it to mean that the mods at least do not disapprove of racism, sexism, violence and all of that other stuff. Or at the very least, that those issues are not a priority while the immaculate reputation of the band and MTV are priorities. At the very least. So I'm still annoyed and I just can't read most of the stuff posted there.

In other news, I went to pick up my contact lenses today and get info on the surgery, but tada! The office was closed. WTF with being closed on a Monday? I decided to come home and pack , but here I am, not packing. I hate packing. But it needs to be done. I have Kung Fu tonight, work tomorrow, Kung Fu Wednesday, and then Thursday the kids and everyone aer here by dinnertime and we're off to Florida right after dinner. So I need to get on this.

And honestly, I don't really have anything to write, exactly. I'm just stalling. God! I hate packing.
