Today I went to Beacon, New York because my little brother adores the Glamour Kills clothing line. They were having a promotional event with free food, live music, and discounted apparel. I can’t say it was my cup of tea, but I learned some interested things while I was there:

* When they said “open barbecue” on their site, they meant pizza and soda.
* The Glamour Kills clothing line favors the colors purple and black.
* 95% of Glamour Kills fan base are 16-20 year-old girls.
* People like my little brother’s long hair.
* I saw some emo dude who doesn’t understand the practical function of a belt.
* People are way too obsessed with texting.
* The cheap plastic sunglasses look is all the rave.
* Emo bands playing acoustic live performances aren’t really my thing.

I’m glad my little brother had fun though. He didn’t see anything he wanted to buy for himself, but he picked up a shirt for his girlfriend. Awww~

Today I met one of the dumbest squirrels on this planet. He cautiously hopped in front of my car as I was coming home from doing some errands. I practically stopped as he wouldn’t move out of he road. He just stared at me for a few moments. Finally he decided to rush across to the other side of the street. I slowly began to drive again, and then he darts back out onto the street and under my tire. Thud!

Bye bye little fellow. I’m sorry to say, but the squirrel gene pool is better without you.
