Today was a typical Sunday, go to the church, wrangle baby for hours at church, then feed missinaries and chat with them through the night.
Missionaries are amusing folk. They really are just 20-something boys who, despite their daily responsibilities to proselite and spread the Geood News, miss listening to music and seeing movies like any young'n.
[sidenote: y'all knew that, right? LDS(Mormon missionaries don't watch TV movies, go to concerts, none o' that. Good kids.]
So, we, being the not-too-dead folks that we are, chatted with them about music and the like. Now, I knew Jared had been slightly cooler before he'd met me, but good golly, every other and we mentioned got a "I've met them" from the Jared gallery.
Yeah. Here's a short list of bands he's met:
311, Weezer, Dashboard Confessional, the Skattelites, the Specials, Bif Naked, Blink 182 (as Boxcar Racer), Jets to Brazil, Blue Meanies, Pedro the Lion, and got up on stage with the Dropkick Murphy's.
Oh, and one of his friends had been in a ska band that had No Doubt open FOR them before they'd gotten big. The friend had tried to strike up a convo with Gwen (he told her she lloked like Winonna Ryder), and she told him to shut up. Heh.
OH, and if you are LDS, get him to give you some of his Hugh Nibley stories, they're friggin' hilarious as well.
As it is right now, he's writing an entry on our family blog, go check it out, as it will probably have some Halloween pics and angry Jared talk.
So he was way col before I met him. He drove a Mercedes, had a cool jorb, life was smooooth. Oh, and he went to shows and met cool people. I'd say the conclusion one would come to is that I have rendered him boring (and made him drive an old truck). But I say NAY! I think he was dying to be an angry old man and he was just waiting for me to come along so he wouldn't have to go out anymore and have a life. Heck, staying in on Friday and watching The Soup on E! is one of our fav things to do.
But... I never met a cool band. Well, I did meet Air Supply, does that count?
Grrrrr. All my cool years are gone and husband is most of the way towards being the old man on the front porch, shooting his bb gun at whippersnapers.
It does make me feel good to know he was one sexybeast before me, though.
SUPERCRACK says hey, you make me post once a day, you git whatever is in my brains. This is why I usually take a few days off to wait for something interesting to occur to me:)
