American Music Awards

the AMA's were sunday night. lil wayne was nominated for 2-3 awards. he didn't win any awards. jimmy kimmel made a joke about him not being able to show up. no one has reported this, but i believe wayne had problems at the nokia theatre. he has had problems in the past couple weeks with security wanting to check him and his entourage before they enter the venue. i think that wayne won the awards and they gave them to kanye, or 2nd place b/c wayne wasn't there. it makes no sense for wayne not to win. his cd, "tha carter III" sold 1 million in the first week. he is the biggest rock star alive right now.

Lil Wayne Tickets
Lil Wayne Fans Upset
(Rochester, N.Y.)-About 8,000 people showed up Sunday night to see Lil Wayne and other acts at the Blue Cross Arena, including the rapper Ludacris. But it wasn’t until the middle of the concert that folks found out that Lil Wayne, or Weezie, as fans call him, was a no-show.

Spokespeople say he didn’t like the Blue Cross Arena’s sound system.

Now, fans are waiting to see if they will get their money back, or if Lil Wayne will return to the area to do another concert.

Angela Simpson drove in from Brockport on Wednesday to get her daughter’s money back, was told to check back on Friday.

“It's a waste of time,” Simpson said, “because he did it three times already, including Rochester. So you know, it's not fair to the fans.”

Simpson says her daughter is upset; she attended the concert for her birthday, and wasn’t able to see Lil Wayne.

This is not the first time Lil Wayne has backed out of a show at the last minute. Monday night, the night after he was scheduled to appear in Rochester, Lil Wayne refused to go onstage for about 20,000 fans in Boston.

The Blue Cross Arena says they are holding all of the ticket money until a decision on refunds or another concert is made. They have contacted the attorney general’s office, which is currently monitoring the situation.

The local promoters of the concert say they’re trying to see if the hip hop star will come back and do another show. They may not have an answer on that until the end of the week.

In the meantime, ticket holders are becoming increasingly frustrated.

great video

i'm watching bama play oregon at the maui invitational. oregon has the baddest uniforms on the planet b/c NIKE originates in oregon.

smile

i think your smile is the best thing about you. the reason the room lights up when you enter is b/c of your smile. it's a glow that comes from deep inside you. that part that nobody wants to give away, but the very thing i've longed for since i first saw your smile. i've been restless since we've been away. that peace i had next to you, i see every night when i close my eyes.

INTRODUCING.....mr. john mayer

sometimes i can't find the words. at those times i don't think there are supposed to be words. so, at this time, here are some great words.

reincarnation

brilliant album cover.

old country songs

whenever i hear an old country song, i think about old times. these images usually come in my head.
for whatever reason, these images appeal to me. there are times i find myself wanting to turn back the clock and just farm on my land. any time that you see pictures like these, you always see beautiful country.
whenever i see these pictures, things get really peaceful.

the day after the cma's

i was watching the cma's and they were showing the nominations for vocal group of the year. this is the second time in the show i've seen rascal flatts. there were different groups nominated. i said to myself, "who else!? who else!?" by this point it was a scream and when they won "the bear show" erupted. i think that might be the 5th or 6th time in a row they have taken home those honors. i'm very proud of my boys, but these kinds of things are expected. now it's time for them to put out some new material. here are some other musings.

i so called lil wayne being there. i should win something for that. he performed with kid rock.

taylor swift is one of the greatest songwriters alive right now. as bad as i hate to say that. this is one of the most well written songs i've ever laid ears on.

carrie underwood is the best female vocalist i've ever heard.

jennifer hough is really hot.

CMA's tonight

all week they have been hitting the airwaves with propaganda about the CMA music awards. you see the usual suspects, minus rascal flatts. wtf? it's personal bit**. ahaha jk. do we need to remind everyone who rascal flatts is? they had a greatest hits album come out last week. (from billboard.com)"After landing a record deal with Lyric Street Records, Rascal Flatts recorded an eclectic mix of country and pop for the trio's self-titled debut. The album arrived in 2000, and "Prayin' for Daylight" became the group's first smash single. Rascal Flatts ultimately sent four singles to the Top Ten before the band's second album, Melt, appeared in October 2002. Co-produced by the bandmates themselves, Melt sold a million copies in eight weeks and yielded the band's first number one country hit, "These Days." By this time, Rascal Flatts had established itself as a highly successful country act, with a particularly strong following amongst younger listeners (an elusive demographic to most country stars). A live album served as an amiable segue between Melt and 2004's chart-topping Feels Like Today, while Me and My Gang arrived in April 2006. Rascal Flatts' 2007 release, Still Feels Good, enjoyed a similar reception, going platinum before the year's end and yielding another number one hit, "Take Me There."

i reckon i'll get off of my soapbox about RF. anyway, i think that Mr. Carter will be the special guest at the CMA's. he has reason to make splashes here soon. dedication 3 the album is coming out tomorrow. if i was a reader of my blog i would be pissed at this point. the reason i would be pissed is b/c i always talk about wayne. haha, not going to talk anymore about him right here, but maybe later, stay tuned.

for those of you who know me well, know that all i've listened to seriously for the past 6 months is lil wayne. although what you don't know is that i always have a million business items to conduct every day. therefore, i've been dabbling in some other musical genres. the first is damn john mayer. dude is dating j. anniston again. i'm pissed b/c when she divorced brad i thought that was my way in. still fuming over this. but i'm not hating. i have to give credit to john he is a bad ass. his music is great. he may be one of the best guitarist's alive right now. his tattoo is amazing. **NEWS FLASH** bear will have a sleeve one day. holla. i've been listening to this.

and this is his tat.

i've also been listening to mr. toby keith. he came out with a great song. this is a great song. it's the only way i could find to put it on here. turns out the video is hilarious.
of course i can't forget my boy joe rogan and his sleeve. he is the first inspiration for a tat.

i'm pissed that the election occured and the only relevant topic was the economy. it feels like an induced economic panic, but then again it doesn't. if it was gov't induced then i don't see why bush would have that, b/c it didn't help mccain that so many people had pure hatred for bush. on the other hand it could have come from congress and the lovely mrs. pelosi since it helped obama so much. i hope that i can say this without being judged b/c i don't have a problem with obama personally. i just don't agree that big gov't is the answer. i can't believe that he lived change the whole campaign and he rode it out of town. crazy that this tactic worked. it's crazy to me that the war really wasn't that relevant. neither was illegal immigration. you never heard about isreal and iran about to blow each other up. the crazy shit that happened b/w russia and georgia. that whole thing was covered up by the media. google moderate media outlet. you'll get more results googling your name. haha. i hope that the country can pull out, but it wont. it's going to be just like i am legend. you have all the infra-structure but you have no money and no people.

i've been trying to figure out the whole mayan calendar saying the world will end in 2012. some crazy stuff. hopefully they didn't know what they were talking about and that won't happen.
