My Weekend

Hello everyone. I don't really post that many bits of information on this blog about my personal life. I obviously editorialize a lot, but I don't really open the doors into what my days consist of etc. etc. but today I wanted to give you a quick rundown of how this past weekend has been for me. Starting with a rough Thursday AM, things really came together and I think that this weekend is a true full representation of who I am...

THURSDAY:
-Went to my Fitness For Life Class and upon final physical evaluation improved in every field (Upper body & ab strength, flexibility) EXCEPT for my 12 minute run, which I blame on terrible shin splints that hit me like 7 minutes in, however I did stay the same as I had the past 2 times. Running has never been my thing, I don't mind.
-Bombed a fine edit for my RTVF class partially because footage was bad and partially because the definition of "fine edit" is impossible to categorize. Luckily I wasn't graded and used the experience to make my final edit great.
-Worked my very last Atrium Table hour with my Freshman "family" Frank Buttafaro, Vinny Pezella, Ryan Sinnott and a slew of other people who aren't worthy enough to be named. I will truly miss those hours of just shooting the breeze with those kids.
-After weeks of talks got Mike Falzone out to Hofstra to perform at our very last Coffeehouse! I was worried it wouldn't end up working as he had to get from Hamden to Hempstead in a very fine cut window of time, and he made it early and performed for a very responsive and surprisingly big crowd. A great way to end the Coffeehouse Series with some fresh 203 flavor.

FRIDAY:
-Worked. Productively.
-Found out towards the middle of the afternoon a certain A-List celebrity might be coming in to talk about getting a reality show. Waited anxiously all day with the other interns, and after waiting an extra 45 minutes after the persons appointment was, left Chelsea Market. Upon getting outside we noticed a security guard waiting by the door, so like all starstruck interns we waited for about 10 minutes before a car pulled up with this A-Lister inside. Paparazzi came out following her and it was one of those things that made me go "Whoa. Followed that up with dinner and drinks with the Oxygen interns, which was awesome. I will miss them when they leave this week and I still have until the end of the month.

SATURDAY:
-Finished setting up Music Fest, as I had missed day 1. Saw Bad Rabbits after listening to them since February, and after the activities of the day I went backstage druing Kevin Devine and the God Damn Bands set. And there 10 feet in front of me was Ghostface Killah of the Wu-Tang Clan. Before Music Fest I had said I was going to forget about professionalism and just go up and ask for a picture, but I was sort of struck with responsibility (that or his 10 man entourage was too much for me to handle). However, when a bass needed autographing for a charity auction, I was lucky enough to ask him to sign it. I swear to god that bass was shaking like crazy when I went up to him. I told him I was a big fan and all of this stuff and he was just really soft spoken just saying "Aight?" and stuff like that. It was underwhelming, mostly because I didn't ask for a picture.
-When I heard Streetlight Manifesto play the opening line of "A Moment of Silence" it brought me back to the moment when I was 17 years old walking into the main hall of the Webster theater with Three Years Accident Free and hearing them sound check to the same tune. For a minute I was just like "Holy moly, I have lived quite a life in these 21 years."

TODAY (SUNDAY):
-Went to sleep at 9 AM after working all night.
-Donated to the Max Kolb Telethon and got a Fantastic Mr. Fox DVD and Poster! Hooray for good things!
-Found out TNA fired Bubba The Love Sponge.
