Well, this weekend was busy for me. Friday night, I went to WeHo for a birthday party and came home just in time for that lovely wake up call, a 7.0 wakeup call. On Saturday, I went to Bravo Medical Magnet High School for a jazz workshop that I need for Academic Decathelon. Then on Sunday, I went to the AIDS Walk Los Angeles, where I ran 4 miles until I hurt my ankle tripping over a sprikler. When I got home at 5PM, I received my tickets to the Backstreet Boys concert for this Wednesday at the Great Western Forum.

I'm sure everyone is wondering why I wrote all this crap, and to answer everyone, I'm just letting off steam because I hurt my ankle and will have to hobble when I go to the Backstreet Boys concert.

So, anyone else had a productive weekend?

Now that you ask, I made over 60 pounds for giving "grinds" (extra tuition) to some young lads from my old school in Physics and Maths.

Not bad for 4 hours work, if I do say so myself.

And next weekend's a Bank Holiday weekend!! Roll on.

*sigh* OK, someone's gotta do this, and I guess it'll have to be me, the resident Flare Total Bastard.

Michael, I respect you as an individual and I respect whatever lifestyle choices you make.

But. . . the Backstreet Boys?!

They're a teenybopper band! They're for pre-pubescent girls! Their so-called music has no artistic merit whatsoever. In a year they'll have been forgotten, their fickle yet once so-faithful fans having moved on to the next big thing. The members will eke out the remainder of their youth as erotic dancers and rent boys. Long after they've been forgotten, the only monument to their existence will be your friends' continuing ridicule of your musical tastes.

We're doing this intervention because we care. Let it go!

Yeah, the next thing you know, they will be doing underwear adds, and setting fire to Hotel rooms.

Well, I was offered either the Backstreet Boys or John Tesh...and I really don't like falling asleep during a concert. Besides, I know boy bands last for a few years only...come on look at the Spice Girls!!!

If somebody offered me the choice between the Backstreet Boys and John Tesh, I'd just tell them to go screw themselves... *L*

Aww, c'mon, TSN... You wouldn't scalp the most expensive of the two tickets?

Good luck with the Academic Decathelon. I had a ball doing that a few years ago.

You know, there's a lovely album called "State Songs" being released in seven days. You people should look into it.

I am. For lack of better subjects to screw :]

Hmm. That might make a good tagline, Rutger. . . 8)

Posted by Mikey T (Member # 144) on :

Well, I went to the concert Wednesday, and it was great...and my it was interesting what happend after the concert. I was able to meet the group and take pictures. But my Justin became jealous since I was surrounded by five good looking guys who are tired enough to be vunerable to anything... I am now scalping the autographs they gave me and saving the pictures for my sisters.

Oh Jubilee, too bad you didn't go with me at the concert, I would bet that you could have your own private little concert with the boys when we met them backstage...

Posted by Justin_Timberland (Member # 236) on :

So babe, this is what you do after I go to bed??

Of course I'm going to be worried that you're around those guys, they were vunerable at that time of night. But I'd like to see you get pass the security team assigned to the group...

Oh, God, I'm too drunk to deal with this right now. . .

Oh, let's not go there... really want to tell nasty sex things...shnit...can't fight the feeling...can't fight the urge...ahhhhhhhhh!!!!

First One, be glad you're drunk right now...if not, then I suggest that you do so now...

Kosh, if you visit Los Angeles, Michael and I will show you what room service means in West Hollywood...

Jubilee, there's a Ricky Martin concert comming up in Los Angeles. Like Puerto Rican with some friends?

Posted by Mikey T (Member # 144) on :

Mon dieu!!! Mon dieu!!! What the hell are you doing Justin??? Have you lost your mind? Be careful what you write here.

Kosh, sorry for that thing Justin wrote. Justin is the jealous type and doesn't like the fact that I'm posting messages here with other men. Jubilee, sorry also, and I only won a pair of tickets for the concert in L.A.

*Should have placed a disclaimer*

Okay, let me clear up a few things. Justin is somewhat jealous of the guys here in the board. I don't know why, I interact with live guys more than the members here, I have lots of guy friends, I'm a major fan of BSB, and dated before. And yet of all of the guys I know, he's jealous of the ones on this board. So please be somewhat understanding to this.

Posted by Saltah'na (Member # 33) on :

What I'm curious is WHY you like the BSB so much, and not a Grammy-winner group. Someone whose lyrics and music actually have meaning, not a synthetic tune churned out of a box.

And have you seen that nifty Backstreet Borg pic?

Posted by Mikey T (Member # 144) on :

I have that BSB Borg picture. It's funny, by the way. And thanks Jay, I'll need the luck. Anyway, back to BSB, I like all kinds of music and listen to a large selection of musicians. I listen to jazz, pop, alternative rock, classical, R & B, blues, dance, techno, and anything I like. I'll name a few that I like such as Alanis Morisette, Sheryl Crow, Blink 182, Barbera Streisand, Gloria Estefan, David Sandborn, Glen Miller, Ricky Martin, Santana, Donna Summer, Lil Kim, Puff Daddy, Jay-Z, TLC, and more.

*politely fails to mention that all the groups Michael mentioned are identical Top 40 poprockhop*

Yes, I know. I am a horrible, horrible hypocrite. And an elitist. But damned charming, no? No?

Crap. Well, at least I have a digital watch.

Now, now..... The SexGoddess can only be in so many places at once, and i'm too busy playing around with Charles, Lee, and that really cute british girl.

Posted by Saltah'na (Member # 33) on :

Alanis Morrisette: Very good singer. "Former Supposed Infatuation Junkie" was highly underrated.
Sheryl Crow: She's ok
Barbara Streissand: WHAT??!??!?!?!???
Gloria Estefan: nah........
David Sandborn: Never heard of him.
Glen Miller: Ditto
Ricky Martin: AAARRRGGGHHHH!!!!!!
Santana: Rings a bell.......
Donna Summer: Don't know
Lil Kim: Same
Puff Daddy: Rap Artist?
Jay-Z: Ummmmmm.......
TLC: They're ok

Anything Else?

------------------

Posted by First of Two (Member # 16) on :

Alanis Morrisette: Very keen. Not as "whiny" as some folks say.
Sheryl Crow: All right when she isn't being pop-py
Barbara Streissand: EIIIH!
Gloria Estefan: Not since "Conga," but the whole back thing is admirable.
David Sandborn: Dunno.
Glen Miller: The orchestra leader?
Ricky Martin: AAARRRGGGHHHH!!!!!! II
Santana: the old, or the new?
Donna Summer: Um...
Lil Kim: Pleh!
Puff Daddy: "Rap Artist" is generally a contradiction in terms. that song from "Godzilla" was okay, though.
Jay-Z: Umm...who?
TLC: They're ok sometimes.

This must all be taken with a grain of salt, coming as it does from someone who listens to:
Tori Amos
Enya
Clannad
Sting
Peter Gabriel
Queen
They Might Be Giants
Fiona Apple
Live
Metallica
Jello Biafra
Milla Jovovich
Manowar
The Eagles
Pearl Jam
Dr.Demento
and Phil Collins.

and who, for an extremely brief time, was in a band called
Blue Lunar Flatulence
or Only Us
or Red Plastic!
or The Elves of Entropy
or Five Jackasses, depending on which band member you asked.

Justin: No other Gay guys are on this board at this time, so stop ya worryin.

Anybody who hasn't heard David Sanborn, find someone who has a disc, he's a killer Jazz Sax player. I saw him a few times on Lettermans old NBC show.

Sorry, but I have to...

"Besides, I know boy bands last for a few years only...come on look at the Spice Girls!!!"

Okay, who wants to be the first to tell Michael why the Spice Girls don't really suit the title of 'Boy Band'?

Besides, they make some damn fine music to groove to...

Cordellia: "Well, does looking at guns make you wanna have sex?"
Xander: "I'm seventeen. Looking at linoleum makes me wanna have sex."

Posted by Mikey T (Member # 144) on :

That was a joke PsyLiam. I'm surprised that only one person other than myself and Justin know David Sandborn. At least though someone knew. Jubilee, what British girl are you talking about? Are you reffering to a member here or from your neighborhood?
And what's wrong with listening to the Top 40? Or Mrs. James Brolin?

Hey, what I think really shouldn't matter. Just...just listen to whatever.
