When I sub, my mom and I carpool together. It is a 30 mile trip, and usually pretty fun. The rule is if I drive I control the radio. That means I may listen to country, oldies, pop, rock, whatever, though my mom may not like the choice.
Thursday morning on our way to work they were playing "The Pina Colada Song" by Rupert Holmes. My mom says everytime KOLA 99.9 plays it in the morning when she is getting ready for work, she turns it off. And they usually play it 3 times a week she says. She says she doesn't support the drinking or cheating that goes on in the song she joked. Well, they were playing it Thursday morning, so to annoy her I sang along.
"I said that she should sing along too. She said she'd sing to something else. I said no, this was my favorite, so she had to. And so she did. It was hilarious sitting there, singing
"If you like Pina Coladas
And getting caught in the rain
If you're not into yoga
If you have half a brain
If you'd like making love at midnight
In the dunes on the Cape
Then I'm the love that you've looked for
Write to me and escape."
I'm sure we looked like the 2 biggest nuts in the world sitting in the traffic on the 60. We were moving our heads around, bobbing all around, singing as off key as we could. Wild and crazy before we got to school...

And speaking of Music, America is going to be at the Beaumont Cherry Festival on Saturday (A Horse With No Name, You Can Do Magic), and I'm tempted to go since it is only $5.
Sunday I will be going to a concert- either Gavin Degraw with my cousin at The HOB at Downtown Disney, or to see Brenton Wood and the Grassroots at the Cherry Festival, also only $5. I really don't know which I'd rather go to more...

More concerts this year, too!
Last year I blogged about wanting to go to more concerts, and I plan to do the same this year.
Off the top of my head I remember going to:
- Awful concert at my college
- Montgomery Gentry
- Faith Hill @ Hollywood Bowl
- Brenton Wood
- The Grassroots
- Lady Gaga (SUCH A FUN TIME!!!)
This year I plan/want to see the following:
- Justin Moore (He's alright, but $12 ticket)
- Luke Bryan- he was on KKGO 105.1 the other day saying he is trying to come back to Cali in the summer (want to go with my cousin and she said yes when he comes back to the area)
- Pat Benatar in April (looking for someone to go with)
- Stagecoach- Sugarland, Brooks & Dunn, Phil Vassar, Billy Currington, Toby Keith (looking for someone to go and cousin said no)

100 Things About Me
I've done these before, but I'm in the mood for another me me...
1. I can't stand a messy bedroom.
2. I love the Oust Clean Scent air sanitizer because it smells like The Guy's house
3. I put extra Downy in all loads of laundry I do because I like fresh smelling clothes.
4. I still need a theme for my bedroom. I'm thinking of metal/iron work, but it seems a little heavy.
5. I have seen Lonestar, The W's, Montgomery Gentry, Beach Boys, Mary Wilson (of the Supremes), Lt. Dan Band, Brenton Wood, The Grassroots, Frankie Valli, The Turtles, Three Dog Night, Faith Hill, Jason Michael Carroll, Sugarland (3 times), Chuck Wicks, Suburban Legends, and I'm probably missing a few in concerts
6. I love country, oldies, Top 40, 80s, pop, rock, alternative. My iPod represents that.
7. I love my iPhone. Love it. I could never go back to a regular phone.
8. I think the hottest country singer is a tie between Chris Cagle and Richie McDonald who used to be with Lonestar
9. Banana Republic is one of my favorite stores
10. Friends are constantly amazed at all that I do. I'm the quiet guy who is rebellious/curious and am always trying new things out of curiosity.
11. I have always wanted to work in the corporate world. Finding a job with a Comm degree/not having the full Comm background like someone who went to a school with an actual comm program may hamper that. It is not an excuse. It just shows I would have to work harder/have something different to bring. I actually want to try the teaching route, however right now.
12. If I'm really comfortable with you I tell you anything and everything that is flowing through my mind.
13. I have been told one of my greatest qualities is patience and concern.
14. I hate job applications where it asks for your 3 best qualities.
