White tees, Nikes, gangstas don't know how to act.

So, Kanye West rocked!
T'was a good gig, a little different to the usual types I go to, primarily because it was in a large arena, loads of seating and to be frank....can I be frank??? Let's face it, Rappers don't usually cut the mustard when it comes to playing live.
I take it all back though, if this is an example of what talented rappers can deliver.

The crowd were completely behind him and the rest of the stage outfit and the atmosphere was buzzing! Just like a good concert should be like.

On the news today, there have been reports of shootings at the venue. Apparently, there was some jerk-offs trying to get inside without tickets. They got challenged by the venue security and some twats answer was to pull a gun and start firing. The consequence being that 2 of the security guards were hit, 1 of them several times and both were hospitalized, all over some people pushing their luck, trying to get in without paying for tickets.

What is the world coming to?

The downside, apart form the obvious fact that two innocent people were shot, is that security at forthcoming gigs around the country will now be stepped up a few levels. Where as most of the gigs I go to, you don't tend to get a 'shake-down' on entry and they turn a blind eye to bulges in your pockets, which may be things like cameras or whatever. Now, the security on the entrances will be much more vigilant (and probably rightly so because I for one don't wanna think I'm standing next to somebody packing a gun, just in case somebody else is pissing them off), but at the expense of everybody else just going there to have a good time.

Work was a huge struggle today, but it always is on the first day of a registration plate change. Things can only get easier from here.

We have tried to lighten the mood a little by playing some jokes on The Whinger, but he so wasn't in the mood. I can't see what the problem is, when all we did was change the desktop settings on his PC to a picture of him that I'd 'doctored', with a funny hat, a clowns nose and some bright pink lipstick. Mind you, we probably crossed the line when we slapped black ink all over his telephone and he spent most of the day with black all over his ear and the left side of his face. I probably shouldn't mention then, that we also filled the air vents in his car with those little round bits from hole-punchers and turned his fans on full blast, so when he got in to go home, he got covered in small round bits of paper.

Oh well....some people have no sense of humour, huh!
