Post #14: Pants on the Ground

Good morning, Wednesday!  Missed last week, so I’ll give you two stories in this one: one for real life and one to keep you abreast (lol, breast) of the intricate goings ons of the internet.

So let’s get this started.  I went to Brisbane with the chick yesterday.  It was awesome! Traffic was kind of a pain, but it wasn’t as bad as Washington DC.

The museum was pretty sweet, the art gallery was epic, and even the shopping wasn’t so bad .  Also, I had my first corndog in 7 months.  I felt like an American again, with the impending heart failure to go with it.

However, there was one thing about Brisbane that shocked me:

There were Asians EVERYWHERE.

Now, I’m not being racist here.  I have nothing against Asians.  A continent that can come up with the Spring Roll can’t POSSIBLY be bad.  That said, it was still weird.  I am used to going to large malls and seeing lots of hispanic people yelling at their children in Spanish.  I didn’t hear a single “Si” my whole day there.  It took some adjusting, to say the least.

Now, on to the second story.  I have to show you all this amazing video, in case you missed it when it aired on American Idol.  For those of you with sagging jeans: let this be a lesson to you.

Simon: “I have a horrible feeling that song could be a hit.”

You are so right, Simon. In just a week that song has taken the internet by storm.  Giddy up, General Larry.

Well that’s it for this week, readers.  I hope my college-going American readers are doing well in the second semester.  Good luck, and as always, be safe.
