Is Too Much Sugar a Bad Thing?

Things with Curtis are none the less great, maybe too great. He is so nice, maybe even too nice.

So I was at home sick Tuesday with what I'm assuming was/is a sinus infection. My throat is sore, my chest and head feel congested to the MAX and I get dizzy every time I stand.Shorty after waking up I got a phone call from Curt. He demanded I tell him what I needed to make it through the day. Without giving him an answer he stated he would stop by on his way to work. 8:30 came with a knock on my door. The sweet boy brought me orange juice and soup. To top that he checked in on me throughout the day and even stopped by the pharmacy on his lunch break to get me some Meds. How in the world could I ask for more...and why would I even think about RT at a time like this but sadly I did. But not to worry, it was very short lived....I spent most of the day asleep and only woke up in 5 min increments.
Curt is in KS for work til tonight so I’ve had some time to think.
Still trying to figure out if the "spark" is there. Why is it us girls second guess the good stuff but dive right into the sh*t! I don’t get it which is why I’m really trying to put 100% toward Curt! He really is great and from the story I told above my Mom loves him! Haha! Things are so good, seriously what girl doesn't love being taken care of? One regret...wish I didn't look like bride of Frankenstein when he came over Tuesday....o'well now. Maybe he digs the jacked up hair with no make-up look.

The only other good thing about Tuesday was NO WORK! Wish the rest of the week worked out the same!

Glow in the Dark!

Sorry its taken me so long to post my review on the show but I've been really sick and still am.

Ok so I don't have any pictures yet 1)because KRBE had their own photog and wouldn't let us take any and 2) because the Woodlands pavilion people made T check her camera. We were needless to say PISSED! Since when can you not have a camera at a concert??

Meeting Pharrell...

He is so awesome! Humble! and Funny!! I can't wait til KRBE posts the podcast! I will repost it on here asap! When he walked in he went around the room and shook hands with everyone. Because I was last (closest to the stages) I introduced myself to all the guys....only polite, right? Well a girl on the other side of the room must have been jealous and said, "Well now we all know who Allie is". HAHA! I loved it! I'm not going to lie, the entire interview Pharrell was looking at either T or I! Most likely because we were the two closest to him. Plus every time he said something funny we couldn't stop laughing. He started talking about a dispute with Walmart about being able to sale a clean album and Walmart just wasn't sure if they would sale it if kids could get a dirty version elsewhere. So Pharrell was like...what do you want me to do? Some words just have a deeper mean than their "substitutes". They just don't come across the same. Then he went on talking about what words he could use in place of his curse words to make the songs clean.
F*ck=Sex
Sh*t=Feces
Mother F*cker = Mother sexer
I don't think we were supposed to talk but b/c I was so close to him I said, "Dude, If you make an album like that I would totally buy it!" He laugh and said it would be more comedy than anything and I just replied I would still buy it! Not sure if it will be included on the podcast but it was hilarious!
So the rest of the interview was filled with SEX and FECES instead or F*ck and Sh*t! It was the funniest thing ever! I seriously had tears in my eyes.
KRBE took a pic of us but they haven't emailed them out yet....will post asap too.

Concert!

Lupe Fiasco hit the stage much earlier than he should have. The crowd was still filing in as he played. He brought his entourage, including Matthew Santos, Bishop G, Nikki Jean, and Sarah Green which I thought was awesome. Can I just say Sarah Green (I think that was her) has an amazing voice live!

N.E.R.D. was up next, and wow...that all I can say! Pharrell was amped and demanded security to allow anyone who wanted to mosh through to the front of the stage. He even picked a lucky few to get up on stage with him.

Rihanna’s set was the least enjoyable of the night. Overall, it was just an oddly-placed pop act amidst a handful of respectable hip-hop artists. I really do like her but it was as if the music was turned down and there was no bass....just wasn't what I excepted. It made it extremely hard to dance too...which was sad! <--oh yeah by this point I had sucked down a few drinks from the Bacardi tent and really wanted to dance!

Then there was Kanye...
From the seconds the lights dimmed to the time the venue’s lights came on, the crowd was deafening. The 17,000+ capacity venue was packed to the brim with screaming, drunk/high fans. I believe the concert was sold out at this point! It was nuts!
Jane, Kanye's spaceship was the main set of the show. West and Jane were on a mission to find other sources of creativity as they crash landed on another planet. Once creativity was found, they could find their way back home, where they would embrace the new found creativity. Although to me it was a bit cheesy, the concept supplied some pretty entertaining fillers in between songs. There was a little technical difficulty which Kanye stopped the concert, cursed a few times, then walked backstage to sort it all out but the show started back up shorty there after. He even wrote and apologized for it in his Blog! Kanye loves Houston!! YEAH! Haha!

Overall the best concert I've ever been too! Very energetic throughout! It helped that all the acts were Big names...at least in my book! In retrospect, I wish I had bought front row or pit tickets for this show! Would have been so worth it!

If Glow in the Dark is heading your way I would TOTALLY RECOMMEND going! Super fun!

as I cry....

I grew up riding, raising, and breeding horses. They were my life as a kid. I did all my chores just to please my mom so she would continue my riding lessons. Our horses are our family and as much as I wish I couldn't remember the first time we put one down I do....vividly.
This weekend was tragic and yes, I cried. Eight Belles, a beautiful 3 year old filly was put down immediately after winning 2nd place in the Kentucky Derby against 19 colts! This was a day for celebration not just because Eight Belles won 2nd place but because she was the first filly in the Derby since 1999. Sadly this was all overtaken after she was ridden a quarter lap past the finish and collapsed with two broken front ankles. Because she broke both front ankles she didn't have a front leg to stand on and be splinted, therefor it was almost impossible for her to recover properly so the quick decision was made to put the young filly down.

*and the tears fall...

RIP Eight Belles

BREAKING NEWS!!!!!!!

Got an email from my DJ friend...

Hey Allie,

Would you like to come to KRBE tomorrow at 2p for our Studio 104 with N*E*R*D(pharrell williams)? – they are opening for Kayne/Rihanna.

The invite’s for you and a guest. No sweat if you can’t/don’t wanna come, but let me know asap.

Thanks!

Mat Mitchell


WHOOOHOOOO!!!! TOTALLY EXCITED!!! AND SOO GOING! I LOVE PHARRELL!!!! YAY!! What a start to a great weekend! Then the concert! YES! Maybe we can get backstage to meet Kanye and Rihanna too!! OMG how cool!!

Poor Poor Paula


This Grammy Award-winning, American pop singer, dancer, choreographer, and television personality has found herself in the middle of some hot turmoil.

Lost on her notes?

Pre-scripted comments?

Used rehearsal notes?

Who really knows...if you ask me I think she is a total nut case. Now, given the poor girl did have a major accident a while back, I'm going to let her claim brain damage. This might also explain why she is stuck dressing like a 16yr old going to prom in the 80s (and who the hell wears a tiara anymore???unless its your b-day!). If its not that, then she is enjoying something way better/stronger than Whitney Houston. Paula, if you haven't heard, maybe because you were too busy spacing out, Crack is Wack!

just to add, I'm so glad Brooke is off! Grow some balls chick! I've never seen a newborn baby cry that much!
