the booty thief!

i just found out that r. kelly and jay-z are going to actually have a best of both worlds tour. this is pretty much the best news i've had in months. i was disappointed when it didn't happen a few years ago with that album first came out...anyway, it's going to be hot and i'm trying to decide which two cities i should see it in. i'm thinking dc and nyc because i feel like there will be a lot of special guests at the new york show a la the black album concert at MSG. this totally makes up for there not being any good concerts this summer. the sad thing is i only have a small twang of guilt about supporting the pied piper of r&b. i mean, yes, i have seen the sex tape and that's definitely him and the girl is shockingly young-looking. okay, this is already sounding bad because how do i then justify the fact that i still want to go to the concert? the thing is that the only person who loses if i don't go is me. if i could actually make myself not WANT to go to the show, that would be ideal. but, if i don't see jay-z and he really does retire (what are the odds on that as of right now?) i will never forgive myself or r. kelly. boy, he and hov must be really good friends because jay is pretty much guaranteeing that guy sold out shows. i mean, i'm sure a lot of people want to step in the name of love, but not as many people as want to see young. ya heard!

so my friend joe is back from europe. also good news. hate to bundle him into a posting entitled "the booty thief" but it has to be done. i'm pretty sure he was like 1 or 2 more months away from never coming back to america. joe's like a taller, white, male, more religiously observant version of me. it's great. he's that friend that you have that never thinks what you say is mean because he's already thinking either the same thing or something even meaner. it's refreshing because usually i'm the meanest person in any group i'm in...or maybe it's most honest. hmmm...he's also that friend that you definitely don't call if you're interested in feeling sorry for yourself and having someone else tell you it's justified.
