Nothing satisfies ones hunger better than those tiny delicious burgers

Last night some of my friends and I went to a concert in New Jersey to see the band The Format, while deciding to hold our hunger in, until after the show. This decision had a good and bad result to it. The bad, first of all, was that we got inside the venue very early, and they were not planning on letting anyone out after they entered. That, and their was a beast raging inside my stomach about to take out it’s aggression on every 12 to 15 year old present. Now, the good was that during the hunger pangs I was feeling, we got to see an awesome performance which got my mind off food for a bit, while enjoying the music.

But with that being said, the real joy to this story came after the concert had finished, while we were driving around looking for somewhere or something to fill our stomachs up right. Chris, remembering that he had seen a White Castle around somewhere, made a call to a friend of his, asking for the nearest one. This route did not get us very far, and we weren’t up to driving around all night looking for one, so we decided to settle for anything at this time. Then, by coincidence or pure desire to taste one of those burgers in our mouths, there appeared that perfectly designed sign with the emphatic words, “White Castle” on it on our right. After collecting our thoughts back together from what just happened, we stepped inside and ordered. I had gotten a 2 double cheeseburger meal with fries and a coke, and then took my bag of goodness to the nearest table.

Now, I have seen the movie “Harold and Kumar go to White Castle”, which is by the way hilarious, but I have never been able to experience one of those delicious little greasy burgers bursting with onion flavor firsthand, until now. My first bite, down to the very last fry was, how should I put it….. legendary. I even had to order two more. Now I know, and can relate to how they must have felt biting into those wonderful burgers after all that wait, even though being just a movie.

Doh!

Just when I thought I’ve seen everything in the NBA the last couple years from Kobe scoring 80, to the brawl in Detroit with Ron Artest going into the stands, probably the most bone-headed, at the same time hilarious, and unbelievable plays in a while happened last night. If I was Michael Ruffin on the Wizards I would seriously consider going into exile. Watch here!

My thoughts of Tuesdays American Idol performances

Last night’s guest and advice giver on the show was singer Gwen Stefani, who had the contestants perform some songs from her favorite artists that inspired her, or go with some of her own music. I personally have never been a big Gwen Stefani (or No Doubt) fan, so I thought they could have actually done better with chosen a musically inclined performer rather than someone who goes from a rock artist, to poppy radio hits with rappers. Don’t get me wrong, I like all kinds of music, even pop, but I always found it hard to enjoy artists who change their whole sound and style.

But, with that being said, most of the performances last night were decent besides Chris Sligh’s rendition of The Police “Everything She Does is Magic”. I thought that the beat was way out in front of his singing, and he had trouble catching up to it for a steady flow. Even though he was the weakest in my mind last night, and everyone else has a stronger performance, I can’t see him getting voted off yet, unless America starts voting by best performers from that night. If that was the case, Sabrina would still be here and Haley would be sitting in the crowd next to some 10 year old that cries to dam much.

Now for my final discussion, Melinda Doolittle. Call me whatever you’d like, but I am NOT a Melinda fan. I cannot argue the fact that she has a great voice, but she shows NO personality whatsoever on stage, after the song. She just stands there and looks surprised every time, like you liked it really?? I understand she might be a very humble person, but personality is what you need to be an American Idol. Not just stand there like a rock on the stage and say “O thank you so much”. She just annoys me. I do not know how she can keep on advancing every week by just her voice along, I think she has to come out of her shell and impress people with something other than her voice.
