In an effort to keep this blog updated so that my many Internet readers can, well, have something to read, I am going to reinstate Freak Out Fridays. Maybe not reinstate, since there is only one other previous Freak Out Friday to speak of, but lets see how long it lasts...
Freak Out # 1: Free Dave Matthews Band Concert
Apparently, since they canceled their Utah concerts twice in a row (2008 and 2009), Dave Matthews has decided to give free tickets to everyone who bought a ticket for their show last year. After those individuals get their tickets, any leftovers will be dispersed to the public. Need proof? Check out this article. This will be the first Dave Matthews concert I've ever been able to afford-count me in!
Freak Out # 2: JD Salinger died
And is probably rolling in his grave over all the media coverage (he was a hermit, you know). And worried that when they make the movie version, they will use Zac Efron...
Freak Out # 3: Lion King tickets
Sunday, August 15, front row! Front row of the balcony section, but you take what you can get for $45. And just in case you were wondering, Jason will not be a participant in this event. He isn't so much into the singing and dancing lions...
Freak Out # 4: Chris Matthews quote about Obama
I don't care what you meant, you should have thought about what people were going to think you meant.
Freak Out # 5: The IPad
Ok, it looks cool, but could they really not think of a better name? Hmm, what's one letter off from their most profitable product? What will require the least amount of change to our marketing campaigns? What will make everyone immediately think of feminine hygiene products? Was this your plan, Apple? Because it is was, you succeeded!

2) What day of the week was it?
Yellow
4) How many in your wedding party?
Don't know, I was too busy getting down and boogying.
5) How many guest were invited to your wedding?
So many, I had to take off my shoes to count them.
6) How long did you wait to Tie The Knot after your proposal?
I wore sandals that day, so I guess a day or two.
8) Who did you hire as your photographer & videographer?
Hire? Hiring is for suckers. We asked our Aryan friend Tim to take pics. He said yes and didn't show, so his Dad filled in. (His pops is a pro, so it worked out well.)
9) Did you have a DJ or a band?
We had DJ Abraham Lincoln, BOOYAH!
10) Who walked you down the aisle?
My pimp cane was my only support.
11) What color were the bridesmaid dresses and guys vests?
The bridesmaids wore a dresses that transformed them all into banana runts. The guys wore "vests" made of their own body hair, cuz they were all so manly (Tim wasn't there).
12) Who was your Maid Of Honor/Best Man?
My maid of honor was KITT, the car from Knightrider. The best man was Shaft.
13) Did you have a Bridal Shower?
Yes it was like the raining men song, except with brides, so it wasn't gay.

I don't remember, but bigfoot was the driver, and we stopped and got funnel cake. Man that hairy bastard loves funnel cake.
15) Where did you go for your Bachelorette/Bachelor Party?
I went to Vegas with my three best friends that anyone could have. One of them slipped us Rufies (or rapies as we later called them). To make a long story short we did some crazy stuff, and forgot all of it. Oh yeah, Nate married a stripper. I may have mixed it up with a movie or song or something.
16) What type of wedding gown/tux did you two wear?
It showed off my tits, so that was awesome. The only tux worn that night was by the penguin we purchased on the black market. We made it wear a tux to be ironic.

It was so awesome that birds heads exploded due to the sheer improbability of the weather being so badass.
18) Where did you go on your Honeymoon?
Orem.

When we stopped of at the Taco stand outside of the dumpy Sears on state street. I had digestional problems afterwards, but it was way worth it.
20) How long have you been married?
Many moons (sounds like I'm Native American, doesn't it?)
