Store!

On Monday night, I went to see Less Than Jake play a show on Flavet Field, which is a short walk from my dorm. I’m not that big into ska, but my friend Sean is, so he came all the way up from UCF to see them for the seventh time. Since Less Than Jake was the headliner, I first listened to the opening acts, which were The Expendables, Reel Big Fish, and Pepper. Of those three, I had only heard of Reel Big Fish, but they all put on a good show. Between the second and third acts, I got hungry and went to the dining hall for a bite to eat. I didn’t miss much, though.

But yeah, Less Than Jake was a real crowd-pleaser. Sean was up in the front the whole time, and he almost got to go onstage. They were picking out a random single guy and girl from the audience. They asked the guy and the girl to make out while they were playing a song, and the two strangers obliged. Then the girl pulled another girl onto the stage and they started making out. Such is the power that ska has over people. I must say, it does get the toes a-tappin’. I really had a good time, even though I didn’t skank. I’d probably see Less Than Jake again.

Speaking of bands that I really don’t know that well: about a year ago, a waitress at Chili’s said I looked like Gerard Way from My Chemical Romance… “when he had dark hair.” Not like I was familiar with the guy anyway. And what’s stranger is that a few other people I met also thought I looked like him. Have a look for yourself:

The other day, I was walking back to my dorm from class when a guy on a bike stopped beside me and said I looked like Adam Jones of Tool. He said that with my long hair and everything, I could pass for the guy’s brother. I didn’t know who Adam Jones was, but I mentioned that some people thought I looked like the guy from My Chemical Romance. He didn’t know who Gerard Way was either. But I do kind of look like Adam Jones:

(Oh yeah, and there’s a picture of me on the About Me page.)

The people have spoken! Just in time for the holidays, you can get World of Stuff gear at the World of Stuff Store. Available for purchase are T-shirts, tank tops, and sweatshirts with the “Property of” design I posted recently, but if people will actually buy this stuff, maybe I’ll think of some other things to add.

And for your information, here’s how the store works. It’s run by CafePress. You order through them, and they fill the order — I have nothing to do with it except that I get a cut of the profit. All the money I make will go toward running the web site. So check out the World of Stuff Store and see what I currently have to offer.

Here are 20 weird English words with their definitions. I had heard of about three of them. Number 7 should be “limerence.”
