Blogiversary

Today is my one year anniversary of blogging. Do you know what this calls for? That's right, cake!

I find it odd to think about the fact that I have only been doing this blog for a year when it just feels like something I've always done. I'm happy I found something that I enjoy doing on a daily basis and also happy that blogs and MySpace and YouTube and things like that didn't exist when I was in HS and college. Seems to me that there needs to be a new mini-course taught in schools about how it may not be the best move to post certain things for the whole world to read or see.

That piece of cake I just ate means there is only one piece of the Greatest Cake of All Time left. I'm sure I'll eat that one before 3 PM. I have probably gained 3 lbs from binging on that cake, but I just gave up fighting it. I will not buy another one until my mom is here for Christmas and then I'll buy a size to feed just the three of us. The other two cakes barely interest me. I did take a bite of one and will take a bite of the other as well, just to sample, but after this final piece is gone, it's back on the wagon of normal eating behavior for me.

Demetri Martin was quite funny last night. D and I forgot that General Seating means you must get there early to get a good seat. We got there about 5 minutes before the show started and sat literally in the last row of the balcony. It was actually not a bad place to sit as it was secluded and had a bar in front of us, so we could put our feet up. We also could see the entire stage because we were up higher than the other rows in the balcony. During the show, Demetri thought that he saw some guy filming him so he asked him if he was filming and asked him not to put it on the Internet. We couldn't hear what he said, but it seemed like he was indeed filming or taping. Demetri calls for security, they seemingly fail to come, then he continues. Later he stops again and asks if he's still filming and again pleads with him not to put up the video on the Internet. Finally security wrangles the guy after Demetri describes where he has moved to. It turns out the guy wasn't filming after all or was maybe only doing a small portion of the show. Either way, Demetri apologized repeatedly and then incorporated that into the show to make it less awkward. The guy wasn't mad about it at all. It got me to thinking about how truly unfair it is to take a video of a performer and post it on the Internet. Demetri mentioned how he only has one CD out and if his show is posted online, why would anyone come see him if he's doing the same jokes in the next city? He's right. It's confusing why anyone would want to bootleg a show when they typically don't make any money from uploading it to the Internet anyway. Why do they do it then? Just to be an asshole?
