So I didn't blog on Friday due to getting slightly sick after seeing Xmen... Not that Xmen made me sick, It was actually a really good movie, but the popcorn on the other hand, did. BOO to popcorn. I thought since I don't really have a current affair I really want to blog about today, (there are plenty to pick I just don't want do to any of them) I'll use this Saturday blog to go over the live music of this week.
Here Come the Mummies is at the Bluebird in Bloomington tonight. Not my cup of tea but they put on a pretty interesting show!
Alejandro Escovedo is at the Vogue on Monday (6/9)
Alison Krauss and Union Station will be at the Lawn @ White River State Park on Thursday (6/10) I love working at the Lawn and being able to hear great music LIVE even as I work. So looking forward to listening to Alison!
Friday the 10th is by far the most hectic concert date of the season :( I hate it when everything happens on one night. We have Iron & Wine at the Vogue, which I will be attending. Happy Birthday Kristy! Panic at the Disco will be at the Egyptian Room at the Old National Centre (Murat) and probably the most disappointing part of it all.... The Black Keys will be at the Lawn. I am SO bummed I will be missing both of these shows. But even more so The Black Keys. I expect at least one person who will be there to keep up with the texts so I don't miss a thing :)

MUSIC!!!
Today is Thursday and that means MUSIC TIME!!! I have three songs that I've had on repeat the past few days.
1. Tegan and Sara, The Con :
I love this song so much. It doesn't matter what kind of mood I'm in, this song makes me want to dance. I'm not sure the song should make me want to dance... And really I cant dance so it's probably best that I DON'T dance, but I want to when I hear this song. I'm an emotions kind of girl. The more you can feel the emotion in a song, no matter what that emotion is, the more I love that song. Most of Tegan and Sara's song you feel the emotion and you say "yea I have felt like that before." or "I feel that way right now" This song just stands out as my favorite for the emotional pull they have on me.
2. Death Cab for Cutie, Lack of Color:
Once again this is an emotional thing. This song is so pretty, and so soft and so heartbreaking. I love it. I love how simple the song is, yet says everything you ever want a chance to say to someone. Makes you think really hard and dig down deep for the feelings you want, and keeps you feeling great at the same time.
3. Blue Foundation, Eyes on Fire (Zeds Dead Remix):
Thank you Tyler for this one. After he sent me a link to the video, I became in love with this version of the song. While Twilight introduced me to the song, I didn't have an attachment to it until now. The dude dancing helps, but something about this remix once again makes me want to dance. Of course after watching this guy dance, I will stay seated :)
( of course I've added the link to the video Tyler sent me)

Xmen, Hockey, and Hangovers....
So I actually have a few subjects to blog about tonight. YAAY FOR ME!
I wanna start with the Hangover II. I went on Thursday to see it ( I know not technically this week but I cant pass up the chance to rave about it.) This movie is a must see. No movie sequel should ever be compared to the first. With that being said, this movie kept the same attitude and storyline as the first, but it was very much its own movie. It was raunchy, crude, hilarious, and at times frightening.... pretty much everything I want in a movie. I would worship just about anything Zach Galifianakis does. His awkward humor that leaves you wondering if you should laugh or not is the greatest thing to happen to ANY movie, let alone something as awesome as this one. Bradly Cooper makes Phil, the burned out father/husband who creates chaos wherever he goes, seem like such a badass. Then there is Stu... If I were lucky enough to be part of a wolf pack I would be the Stu of the group. Ed Helms creates the greatest worrier in the world. Everything about his poor choices and insane phobias make the character of Stu my favorite.
"When a monkey nibbles on a weenis, it is funny in any language" Well said Alan... Well said.
Next up, Xmen Origins. My dad and I will be going to see this on Friday night after work. I am really excited for this. I'm sort of a comic geek. While I can't carry on great conversations and I don't know everything there is to know about comics, I can appreciate and respect the novels/books/whatever is created, that brings us such great stories of heroes and beings that keep "our world" safe. Xmen isn't one I know a great deal about outside of the movies Hollywood has given us, but I do enjoy those movies and hope to add this one to a favorite. I'll let you know what I think of it on Monday.
With that, I leave you all with a few simple thoughts on one of my favorite sports. Tonight I am FINALLY able to watch my first playoff hockey games. I work way too much and missed every game my Hawks played. Because of that, and to support my buddy Kate, I will be cheering for Boston in this final round for the Stanley Cup. GO BRUINS!!!

Pet Peeve Tuesday!!!
Ok so I forgot to blog yesterday... what else is new??? But I'm here today!! And its Pet Peeve Tuesday!!!
First pet peeve I'd like to start this all off with is speeding through school zones. I cannot stand the way people fly through school zones like they are above every law. It makes me upset that if a child were to have wandered off, 90% of the people I see speeding would never be able to stop fast enough to avoid hitting that child. This is an easy thing to avoid. Just slow down for the block (that's as far as I can remember a school zone lasting). I don't see why everyone has to be in that big of a hurry that a child's safety is longer important. I know I would like to know the children I love are safe from idiot drivers as they walk to school, wait for the bus, or even play outside around the school during recess. I'd also like to know the older kids I love who can drive or have friends that can drive them to school, are safe from people driving like idiots as these kids try to make it to school safely. Its a simple answer to a problem that could end in extremely bad ways. You have to take a defensive driving course if you're caught speeding in a school zone... that course alone is $60. Not to mention the cost of the ticket. I got a ticket for parking once and it alone cost me $145... I can't imagine what a speeding ticket through a school zone cost....

Turning a new leaf... sort of...
I think its time to really buckle down and do more blogging.
My first order of business, if you will, is to create a mission statement of the sort for this blog.
I don't live a very interesting life, and I'm still not sure who would ever want to read my blogs. That's what makes it so hard to keep up with this... No one ever says "hey Megg, when are you gonna update your blog??" So I end up just periodically rambling on here with no purpose. So I am creating my own purpose to blog. Making it a PERMANENT way for me to let everything out.
I've decided every day will be a different theme to blog about. I don't mean like day 1 is one theme, day 2 is another and so forth. I mean Monday's will be one specific subject, Tuesday's are another etc... And each day I will write about the subject at hand. Sometimes it will be 100% personal satisfaction to write about the events happening. And sometimes they may be entertaining , useful and at some point interactive entries... Though at this point interactive is kinda silly until people actually want to follow, care, and read my blog.
Monday May 30th will be my official first post. From there on out, I will blog EVERYDAY. Here is a run down of what I will blog about each day (in case anyone in blog/Internet land cares)
Mondays:
Mondays will be a weekend review. Whether I'm working or actually enjoying my weekend, the weekend is my busiest time of the week. Mondays I will be recapping whatever it was I did over the weekend. This will serve as my main day for personal rambling.
Tuesdays:
Tuesdays will be pet peeve day. I hope to get interaction out of this. My pet peeves (and I have quite a few) all come from 2 main categories...1 Driving and 2 The General Public. I think that both are popular choices to involve discussions on why each action is a pet peeve and why everyone feels the actions happen.
Wednesdays:
Wednesdays will be movie/tv day. I chose Wednesday for this for 2 reasons. 1. DVD's coming out on Tuesdays and discussing them on Wednesday gives me enough time to actually go and purchase the DVD to watch it before talking about it. and 2. While most movies open in theaters on Fridays, some open at midnight on Thursday and sometimes Wednesday. I can then share my excitement on what I am looking forward to seeing over the up coming weekend. Now as I mentioned, this will also be tv day. Though tv day will be more relevant in the fall/winter when most of my favorite shows are showing new episodes.
Thursdays:
Thursdays will be my most important day in my opinion... MUSIC DAY!!!! I'll discuss what I've been listening to and what songs have been influencing me the most. I hope this topic becomes extremely interactive and someone will start reading and help suggest new music to me to listen to and gain a full discussion on the great music that is out there!
Fridays:
Fridays will be my favorite blogging day (not to be confused with my important day haha) LIVE CONCERT DAY!!! (see where my priorities lie yet???) I'll go over what shows I'll be attending the upcoming week, what shows I want to attend, and also what shows I DON'T want to attend but will still be here. That way anyone who is reading will know exactly what is going on here in Indy the up coming week.
Saturdays:
Saturdays will be current affairs day. I am pretty opinionated on whats going on in our world. This will be my day to let it all out on how I feel about the things going on around us.
Sundays:
Sundays I'm going to try to make it a Lupus awareness blog. This is a very personal subject for me seeing as how much Lupus effects my family. I will definitely be blogging about Lupus and what the Lupus Foundation on America is doing where in Indianapolis at least through October and our Walk for Lupus Now event.
