a couple quick frustrations

first of all, i have been listening to KDWB and Beat 96 recently and have noticed something that really bothers me (it's not just the music in general). Now that T-Pain (probably spelled T-Payne, but i'm not going to do the research) came onto the hip-hop scene and used that stupid voice modulator on every single song to hide the fact that he can't really sing now the entire hip-hop community has taken to using it constantly. it's like they just discovered this effect recently and now can't stop using it. kind of like when i was little and i discovered the armpit fart and couldn't stop doing it.

i used to hear that effect once in a while when someone wanted to sound like a robot or something but it is getting ridiculous. Every song, honestly, check it out. Kanye used it too.

secondly, maria and i went to church this morning and were greeted very nicely but had decided that we wanted to sit in the balcony. there wasn't anybody handing out bullitens by the stairs so we went to the gentleman that was standing at the doors to the floor level and took some bullitens. as we were walking back to go upstairs he said, "oh, going to be balcony bums today, huh?"

i thought this was extremely rude. he might have been trying to be funny but don't see what is so wrong about wanting to sit in the balcony once in a while. what makes a church service different from one floor to another? we sang the same songs, we said the same prayers, we listened to the same sermon, and we weren't the only people up there. let us worship on the floor of our choice please without the attitude.

i also don't like nice days in the cities because you have to fight crowds to get fresh air.

good night. i feel better.
