Friday? Check. High-Five? Check. High-Five Friday? Check.
1) No More Classes
That's right, I am officially done with classes for the semester! No more Accounting or Business Law for me (And let me just say, accounting is truly an awful class. I get a bad taste in my mouth just thinking about it. It is quite possibly the most boring thing I've ever done. I'd rather watch Nick News than learn about accounting, and I
hate Nick News!). I will certainly miss some of my professors, and I certainly will miss dear old State, but all good things must end. So it's time to finally kick back, relax, and enjoy life for a while. It's not like I have any big tests coming up next week that I have to prepare for. Oh wait.
2) Vocal Imitations
I am a big supporter of imitations. I mean, it
is the sincerest form of flattery you know. But there is nothing I like more than how you always use the same voice and vocal inflection no matter who you're mimicking. Some people go the high route and talk in the highest pitch voice they can. Some people prefer it lower. Me, I like to just mumble a lot in a very distinct, "I'm mocking you right now" voice. Now, you might say, "Well Matt, don't you always mumble. We can never understand you. We just nod to give you the false sense of security." And to that I'd reply, "I d
on't mum...."
3) Black Coffee
Little known fact, I am a
huge fan of black coffee. I mean, I can't get enough of the stuff. There is nothing worse than having a beautiful cup of Joe (Kincel) ruined by cream and sugar. That's for the birds. Now, if you're just learning this and are starting to feel suddenly attracted to me, don't be alarmed, it's a very natural occurence. Sometimes people ask me, "Matt, you drink black coffee. That's basically the manliest thing anybody could possibly do. I would have never pegged you for drinking black coffee." Well, that's true, and I get that a lot. I just love the taste, texture, and everything about it. That's why everytime I order one, I make sure to say, "No sugar or cream for me, please. I'd like it black." That's what she said.
4) Surprise Party
Disclaimer: This was the picture taken moments before I arrived, hence why I'm not in the picture.I've never had a surprise party. I never actually even had a birthday party until I turned 17 (Just kidding). But boy was I surprised when I came back to my apartment last Friday to it being filled with my closest friends? Jeez oh Pete! And what a night it was. Electricity was in the air (but that's only because X-Men's Storm showed up, fashionably late as usual). My actual birthday was just as fantastic! I got the wooly mammoth t-shirt I always dreamed of! Best birthday gift ever? I think so. Just the cherry on the icing of the cake of a fantastic day. I couldn't think of a better way to spend it. Now the countdown begins until the big 21. Oh boy.
5) Support
On a more serious note, I would really like to thank everybody for the incredible amount of support our band has received throughout the year. We're almost turning a year old, and you wouldn't think it given the ammount we've accomplished this year, and it is truly all thanks to you guys. The Song Joust competition is going strong, and we are in the lead as of the time of this blog entry. Please try to remember to vote everyday until the contest ends on June 20th. You're allowed to vote once a day, per ip address, and you don't even have to listen to the whole song; just about 10 seconds or so if you choose. If you haven't voted yet, you can find the direct link for the competition at
http://www.songjoust.com/pluto. So again, thank you for all of the support, and please keep supporting us with the summer right at our coattails. We have a lot of new material that will be emerging in the coming weeks; so get those vocal chords loose, you're going to be singing along to some new tunes.
I hope you all had a great week!
xoxo,
Matt
P.S. I whole-heartedly agree with whoever posted "Mike Belfanti 4 Prez 2012" in our Song Joust profile's comment box. I even came up with a campaign slogan. "Mike Belfanti. If you're not voting for me, you're voting against me."
So, last night, I'm sitting in the South Side McDonald's with Matt and Joe and a guy brandishing a 24 oz. Natty Ice walks up to us and starts chatting. Well, it wasn't quite chatting. It was more like him philosophizing about the circular nature of the universe and telling us about how he's due to die in 10 years. Apparently, he was issued a citation for having an open container. Here's how the conversation went down:
