ARIANA GRANDE CONCERT

Chase Center, San Francisco

So my sweet lil' granddaughter was turning "13", a teenager and stuff. For her birthday, what she wanted more than anything, was to go to her first concert!! and it had to be her fav, Ariana Grande!!!

She begged and pleaded, and I played it off like it cost too much, or it was probably sold out, and stuff.......But she was gonna be "13", and I'm like the coolest grandma, so I had to get tickets!!!

This concert was at the New Chase Center in San Francisco, and it was right before Christmas, so the city was so lit up with decorations everywhere! and Chase Center had the most beautiful Christmas Tree!!! It was just so magical and stuff!!! Perfect for her first concert!!!!

My bro, Vince, came too. We got special seats, that were awesome!! The stage was spectacular!! I'll tell you, Ariana put on a hell of a show!!!

My granddaughter LOVED IT!!!! She had so much fun she couldn't stop talking about it for weeks!!! I'm so glad I got to take her and stuff!!! My heart 💓💓💓 was full plus some that night!!!!

PAPA IN THE STUDIO N STUFF N STUFF

2016-04-09T09:14:00.001-07:00

MY DADDY aka PAPA

So, my sons and friends (aka Homeless Criminals) have always had a studio at the pad n stuff. This is at Nana and Papas house and they've always been hella cool about their music n stuff.

Papa would usually always be watching his shows on tv n stuff and smokin a joint every hour on the hour.

One evening all my sons and friends were in the studio collaborating and Papa decided to go fire up with the boys, so he went to the studio and they all smoked out. After they were all high Papa agreed to record a song n stuff.

This would become one of the most memorable nights ever. Since Papa passed away, this song allows us to hear his voice & this is truly his words.
My son Michael (Rednose) is also a producer (Pitlock Productions). He is an extraordinary musician. One of my dads, Papas, favorite groups was the Bee Gees.

Michael took a Bee Gees song & morphed Papas song into it and it's FRIGGIN AWESOME!!!

So, please listen to it n stuff. My dad was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, and his song reflects that.

my someone real

2015-04-10T23:40:00.003-07:00

if there is someone who really feels this n stuff, then maybe?????

MY SOMEONE REAL

just when i thought this dying breed was extinct, i met you

i feel as if i should lock you away and keep you all to myself - while they go on with their eternal masks

surrounded by artificial hearts who thrive on games, with smug facades, they had left me with only silence or meaningless chatter until now

never before have words felt so true. spoken with no ulterior motive but compassion. although my life has been unfulfilled, it now feels worthwhile.

fate has intervened and made all this mockery a game of the past

so as the selfish souls forever squander their materialistic lives - our real lives will just begin

the emptiness i've felt has diminished

life is beautiful - thanks to a little fate, a touch of god, and you......my someone real

I KNOW I USUALLY WRITE ABOUT CONCERTS N STUFF, BUT THIS BLOG IS ALSO ABOUT MY YOUNGER DAYS AND THE COOL THINGS BACK THEN. WELL MY MOM, SHE WAS & STILL IS, THE COOLEST MOM IN THE WORLD N STUFF.

MY MOM ALWAYS MADE CUPCAKES FOR US TO TAKE TO SCHOOL FOR WHATEVER OCCASIONS & BIRTHDAYS N STUFF. SHE WAS ALWAYS ONE OF THE MOMS WHO DROVE & CHAPERONED OUR FIELD TRIPS; AND SHE WAS SO COOL THAT ALL THE KIDS IN MY CLASS WOULD FIGHT OVER WHO GOT TO RIDE IN MY MOM’S CAR……I MEAN LITERALLY, ALL MY FRIENDS FRIGGIN’ LOVE MY MOM.

THEN ON THE WEEKENDS WHEN WE’D GO TO THE MOVIES OR THE FAIR OR OUT TO PIZZA, ALL MY FRIENDS WOULD BE LIKE “GIRL, CAN YOUR MOM TAKE US?”; AND MY MOM WOULD NEVER SAY NO. SHE WAS SO AWESOME – SHE WOULD LET US PILE ON TOP OF EACH OTHER IN THE CAR & BLAST THE MUSIC AS LOUD AS WE WANTED & GIGGLE WITH US N STUFF.

WE USED TO CHARGE THE KIDS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO WATCH US PERFORM OUR ACROBAT SHOWS IN OUR BACKYARD & MY MOM WOULD ALWAYS HELP US WITH OUR STUNTS & STUFF. SHE HAS BEEN KNOWN TO GIVE US HER LAST DOLLAR (MORE THAN ONCE-LIKE ALWAYS). SHE IS DEFINITELY THE BEST MOM IN THE WORLD. THIS LITTLE POST DOESN’T EVEN COME CLOSE TO DOING MY MOM JUSTICE AS TO HOW TRULY SPECTACULAR SHE IS – BUT I WAS JUST FEELING IT, SO I THOUGHT I’D THROW IT OUT THERE. THANK YOU GOD FOR

GIVING ME THE BEST MOM EVER!!!!!

I LOVE YOU MOM!!

I'LL NEVER MEET ANYONE ELSE STAYING AT HOME AND I'LL NEVER GET OVER HIM EITHER. IT'S NOT HEALTHY. I MEAN SURE, I'VE BEEN WORKING ALOT MORE AND WORKING ON THIS REUNION, BUT I LOVE MEN!!!!

I'VE NEVER BEEN ONE TO BE ALONE FOR LONG.....AND IT'S LITERALLY DRIVING ME CRAZY!!! I GOTTA GET OUT & MINGLE N STUFF..... JUST SAYING N STUFF!!!

REUNION N STUFF N STUFF

2012-09-17T22:03:00.000-07:00

I HAVEN'T WRITTEN IN A BIT CAUSE I'VE BEEN SOOOO BUSY N STUFF. WE HAVE A BIG HOMETOWN REUNION COMING UP IN A COUPLE WEEKS & I'M ONE OF THE COORDINATORS SO I'VE BEEN BUSY MAKING BANNERS N STUFF. THIS REUNION IS SO EXCITING; IT'S NOT YOUR EVERYDAY REUNION. WE'RE STARTING OUT AT THE PARK THAT WE ALL USED TO KICK IT AT "BLUE ROCK" FOR A BIG POTLUCK N STUFF.

I WROTE ABOUT "THE RUN" A WHILE BACK. IT'S THE "CRUISE" IN MY HOMETOWN & MY FONDEST MEMORIES ARE FROM THOSE DAYS!!!! WELL THIS REUNION IS FOR ALL THE PEEPS THAT USED TO CRUISE & HANG-OUT & IT IS JUST GOING TO BE TOO MUCH FUN N STUFF.

JOHN ROOT - GORGEOUS!!! - R.I.P.

I SPENT MOST OF MY TEENAGE YEARS OUT ON THE CRUISE. I MET MY YOUNGEST SON'S DAD (JR) OUT THERE AND HE WAS THE MOST GORGEOUS MAN I'VE EVER KNOWN. HE PASSED AWAY LAST YEAR AT A VERY YOUNG 45 YRS OLD & IT'S GOING TO BE NICE TO BE AROUND ALL THE OLD FRIENDS AND REMINISCE. HE WAS A REGULAR OUT THERE ON THE CRUISE N STUFF AND WE ALL MISS HIM VERY MUCH N STUFF....... ONE OF OUR HOMIEZ WILL BE TAKING JR & OUR OTHER "FRIENDS IN HEAVEN" FOR ONE LAST CRUISE N STUFF.....................

FUNK N STUFF N STUFF

2012-09-10T00:28:00.000-07:00

NOW I KNOW MOST OF THE CONCERTS I'VE GONE TO AND TALKED ABOUT ARE ROCK CONCERTS, BUT I LIKE A WIDE VARIETY OF MUSIC N STUFF. I LOVE ME SOME GOOD OL' FUNK MUSIC. ONE OF MY FAVORITE CONCERTS WAS A FUNK FEST THAT ME AND MY SISTER WENT TO AND WE HAD SO MUCH FUN!!!!!

"CAMEO" WAS THE MAIN BAND AND "WORD UP" WAS THE SONG AT THE TIME. THEY WERE THE STUFF N STUFF. MORRIS DAY AND THE TIME WERE HELLA COOL TOO - "JUNGLE LOVE" WAS BOMB. OH YEAH, YOU DROPPED A BOMB ON ME......BABY!!

THEN, THE SUGAR HILL GANG BLEW THE PLACE UP AND WE GOT TO GET ON STAGE AND DANCE WITH THEM N STUFF.

THE MARY JANE GIRLS WERE HELLA HOT TOO.......THAT CONCERT WAS TOO MUCH FUN AND TALK ABOUT SOME DANCIN' ASS PEOPLES!!! FUNK IS PART OF MY PAST THAT I STILL ENJOY AND ALWAYS WILL....N STUFF!!!

BREAKING UP N STUFF N STUFF

2012-09-01T04:53:00.003-07:00

SO I TOLD MYSELF I WASN'T GONNA EVEN SAY NOTHING ABOUT THIS SHIT.....BUT HERE I GO. I AM DRUNK RIGHT NOW....JUST TO PUT IT OUT THERE. I'VE RECENTLY GONE THROUGH A "BREAK-UP" AND I THINK I'VE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS BETTER THAN MOST ANY BREAK UPS IN MY PAST. THIS IS NOT ONE OF THOSE RELATIONSHIPS THAT ARE LIKE BACK N FORTH N STUFF. THIS IS LIKE OVER AND THATS IT.....

NO......NEITHER OF US CHEATED ON EACH OTHER. WE WERE TOGETHER FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF. I REALLY LOVED THIS GUY AND I THINK HE LOVED ME. WE HAD SOME REALLY GOOD TIMES BUT WE HAD SOME FIGHTS THAT WE BOTH SAID THINGS THAT COULDN'T BE RECONCILED. AND THE GRAND FINALE WAS IT.......NO GOING BACK.

I WILL ADMIT I DID TRY AND MESSAGE HIM AND TRY TO CONVINCE HIM THAT WE COULD MAKE IT WORK......WHICH HE JUST LAUGHED AND SAID "NEVER". I DID PULL THE OLD STUPID STALKER SPY SHIT FOR A MINUTE......BUT COME ON, I SHAMED MYSELF BY DOING THAT.

SO I TOLD MYSELF......GIRL, TIME HEALS ALL WOUNDS. OBVIOUSLY YOU'VE DONE THIS BEFORE. YEP. WE ALL HAVE, RIGHT. WHO HASN'T.......JUST GO ON WITH YOUR LIFE. YOU'LL FORGET ABOUT HIM & FIND SOMEBODY ELSE, JUST LIKE YOU HAVE BEFORE AND HE HAS BEFORE AND EVERYBODY HAS BEFORE, RIGHT N STUFF.

BUT HE IS THE ONE......I KNOW THIS SOUNDS LIKE RETARDED N STUFF BUT I'M GROWN. I'VE BEEN THROUGH MANY RELATIONSHIPS AND I THOUGHT MY HEART WOULD NEVER MEND AFTER MOST OF THEM. I'VE DONE & FELT ALL THE USUAL SHIT WITH ALL MY OTHER BREAK-UPS. BUT THIS BREAK-UP IS DIFFERENT.

I HAVEN'T BEEN OUT SLUTTIN' N STUFF. I HAVEN'T TALKED TO ANYONE ABOUT IT. I HAVEN'T CALLED HIM. I HAVEN'T THREATENED TO KILL MYSELF. I HAVEN'T STARTED DRESSING LIKE A SLEEZE. I HAVEN'T BEEN HANGING OUT AT THE BARS. I HAVEN'T DONE ANY OF THE STUPID THINGS THAT I ALWAYS DID IN THE PAST.

I TRULY LOVE THIS MAN. NOT A LITTLE GIRL KINDA CRUSH. NOT A PASSING LUST. I LOVE HIM FOR THE INTERESTING, FUNNY, SMART, WONDERFUL PERSON THAT HE IS. YES, HE IS AN ASSHOLE IN ALOT OF WAYS. BUT HE HAS TAUGHT ME MORE THAN ANY PERSON I'VE EVER KNOWN. HE IS THE ONLY MAN I'VE EVER BEEN WITH THAT I CONSULTED WITH. I TRUST HIS JUDGEMENT AND HIS ADVICE MORE THAN ANYONE I'VE EVER KNOWN IN MY LIFE.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO NOW.............N STUFF!

TYPEWRITERS N STUFF N STUFF

2012-08-29T01:34:00.000-07:00

WHEN I FIRST STARTED TYPING & TOOK TYPING CLASS AT SCHOOL, IT WAS ON AN OLD FASHIONED TYPEWRITER. I GOT AN AWARD IN THE 9TH GRADE FOR TYPING 45WPM ON THAT ANCIENT THING.

THEN MY FIRST JOB - I WAS THRILLED TO ACTUALLY GET TO USE AN ELECTRIC TYPEWRITER. AND THE REQUIRED TYPING TEST WAS A BREEZE.....PASSED WITH FLYING COLORS.

NOWADAYS, WHAT THE HELL IS A TYPEWRITER??? I'M SO SERIOUS THO'.........DOES ANYONE REALLY USE A TYPEWRITER ANYMORE???

DEF LEPPARD N STUFF N STUFF

2012-08-20T04:20:00.000-07:00

DEF LEPPARD IS ANOTHER AMAZING BAND!! I SAW THEIR "HYSTERIA" TOUR WITH TESLA, BACK IN NOVEMBER 1987 AT THE COW PALACE. TALK ABOUT A HELL OF A SHOW.....

THEY HAD THIS STAGE THAT REVOLVED AROUND IN A CIRCLE AND THAT STUFF WAS TOUGH....I NEVER SAW NOTHIN' LIKE IT!!! AND TO ADD TO MIRACULOUS: THIS WAS THE FIRST TOUR THEY HAD BEEN ON SINCE THE DRUMMER LOST HIS ARM IN A CAR ACCIDENT. HE WAS TRULY INSPIRING N STUFF!!!

THEY ARE ON TOUR THIS YEAR AND I THINK I AM DEFINITELY GONNA GO TO THEIR UPCOMING SHOW N STUFF. "POISON" IS OPENING FOR THEM (WHO I ALSO SAW WITH TESLA BUT AT A DIFFERENT CONCERT). THE SHOW IS IN CONCORD IN A FEW WEEKS & I'LL BE A ?#@STUFF N STUFF IF I DON'T MAKE IT............

SCORPIONS N STUFF N STUFF

2012-08-15T18:20:00.001-07:00

SO, I WAS GOING THRU SOME OF MY PACK-RAT STUFF THE OTHER NITE AND I FOUND THIS OLD TICKET STUB FROM THE COW PALACE. THIS WAS FROM THE SCORPIONS CONCERT I WENT TO ON OCTOBER 14, 1988. I GOT INTO A CAR ACCIDENT IN THE PARKING LOT BUT STILL MANAGED TO MAKE IT INTO THE SHOW WHILE THE OPENING ACT "WINGER" WAS STILL ON N STUFF.

I'LL TELL YOU, EVERY CONCERT I'VE EVER BEEN TO HAS SOME EXTRAORDINARY MEMORIES FOR ME (IF I CAN EVEN REMEMBER THEM). I DO REMEMBER THIS SHOW AND IT WAS A FRIGGIN' BLAST N STUFF........THE SCORPIONS ARE NEVER DISAPPOINTING.

AND YES, THEY ARE ON TOUR THIS YEAR N STUFF. UNFORTUNATELY I BELIEVE THEY HAVE FINISHED TOURING IN THE UNITED STATES, BUT THEY STILL HAVE UPCOMING DATES IN THE UKRAINE, FRANCE, GERMANY, BRAZIL AND A FEW OTHER COUNTRIES. THEIR THE STUFF N STUFF........ROCK ON WITH IT!!!!!!

ALL IN DENIAL N STUFF N STUFF

2012-08-11T23:58:00.000-07:00

OK, NOW THIS IS JUST CRAZY N STUFF!!! IT HAS JUST COME TO MY ATTENTION THAT I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE IN DENIAL ABOUT THE GETTING OLD THING........MATTER OF FACT, IT SEEMS THE MAJORITY IS IN DENIAL!

AS I WRITE POSTS ABOUT CONCERTS I'VE BEEN TO, I ALWAYS GOOGLE EACH BAND TO GET A PICTURE OR WHATEVER. I'VE NOTICED THAT EACH BAND JUST SO HAPPENS TO BE ON TOUR - THIS YEAR 2012!!

SO I GOT REALLY CURIOUS AND WROTE DOWN ALL THE BANDS I COULD REMEMBER SEEING IN CONCERT (OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD).

THEN I GOOGLED EACH ONE OF THEM; AND DO YOU KNOW THAT OUT OF "50" BANDS; "45" OF THEM ARE ON TOUR THIS YEAR.....AND MOST OF THESE BANDS I SAW A GOOD 25 YEARS AGO (GIVE OR TAKE).

SO, AS I SAID, IT SEEMS THAT I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE IN DENIAL....AND IF THEY ARE STILL TOURING, THEN I AM STILL GOING!!!!!! ROCK ON N STUFF......

(want to see what bands were included in my list of 50??? stay tuned for my next post)

Y & T N STUFF N STUFF

2012-08-10T22:06:00.000-07:00

OK SO ANOTHER ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE BANDS IS "Y & T". THEIR MUSIC IS JUST THE BOMB N STUFF. HOW ABOUT "MEANSTREAK" OR "LIPSTICK & LEATHER". OH YEAH, "SUMMERTIME GIRLS", "RESCUE ME", & THE ALL-TIME CLASSIC "FOREVER".

I'VE BEEN TO SEVERAL Y & T CONCERTS. ONE OF THE SHOWS WAS AT THE GREEK THEATRE IN BERKELEY WITH ACE FREHLEY FROM KISS. CAN'T SAY MUCH FOR ACE, BUT Y & T PERFORMED AS ALWAYS.........AWESOME!!!

I REMEMBER GOING TO SEE THEM AT THE OMNI (I BELIEVE IS IN BERKELEY OR OAKLAND) AND THIS PLACE WAS SO CROWDED THAT THE MIRRORS IN THE BATHROOMS WERE COMPLETELY FOGGED UP N STUFF.

LITERALLY, YOU WERE ALL SWEATING SO BAD THAT, YOU KNOW THE FEELING WHEN YOUR AT A CONCERT AT THE FRONT OF THE STAGE??? WELL THAT'S HOW THE ENTIRE PLACE FELT.....BUT IT WAS STILL HELLA FUN N STUFF!!!

THE FUNNEST PART WAS DAVE MENIKETTI (THE FINE ASS LEAD SINGER/GUITARIST) CAME RIGHT UP TO ME AT THE FRONT OF THE STAGE AND GAVE ME HIS GUITAR PICK N STUFF!!!!! I THOUGHT I'D JUST DIE.......AHHH, SWEET MEMORIES N STUFF!!!!!

INCENSE N STUFF N STUFF

2012-08-07T15:22:00.000-07:00

REMEMBER INCENSE N STUFF??? WELL THE INCENSE GOES RIGHT ALONG WITH THE CANDLES.....

I ALWAYS LIKED THE STRAWBERRY SCENTED STICKS. HOW ABOUT ALL THE COOL DIFFERENT INCENSE BURNERS N STUFF. SOME OF THE SCENTS WERE JUST TOO MUCH THOUGH.

BUT WHEN YOU BURN THE INCENSE WHEN YOUR BURNIN' YOUR CANDLES AND YOU'VE GOT YOUR AC/DC PLAYIN' AND YOU GOT SOME YUMMY GUY N STUFF N STUFF........JUST SAYIN'!

CANDLES & BOTTLES N STUFF N STUFF

2012-08-06T00:24:00.000-07:00

YOU KNOW I USED TO DO THIS ALL THE TIME WHEN I WAS YOUNGER AND I HAVEN'T FOR SOME TIME NOW. I THINK I'M GONNA MAKE THAT MY NEXT LIL' PROJECT N STUFF. YEP, MAKIN' DRIP BOTTLES. PROBABLY THE EASIEST & RELAXING OF ALL MY PROJECTS.

JUST GET YOURSELF SEVERAL TAPERED CANDLES OF VARIOUS COLORS N STUFF. THEN IF YOUR ANYTHING LIKE ME YOU HAVE ALREADY SAVED PRETTY BOTTLES OF ALL SHAPES AND SIZES (ESPECIALLY THOSE FIFTH'S OF HENNESSEY OR BACARDI N STUFF). OR YOUR FAVORITE WINE BOTTLES N STUFF.

THEN EASY AS PIE, JUST USE YOUR BOTTLES AS CANDLE HOLDERS, LIGHT 'EM UP, AND WATCH 'EM MELT N STUFF. BE SURE TO CHANGE TO DIFFERENT COLOR CANDLES AS THEY MELT SO THAT YOU GET THAT PSYCHEDELIC EFFECT N STUFF. VERY PRETTY AND YOU CREATED YOURSELF N STUFF.
