Tripp's Hot Blog Action

Sarah Palin = Cheater!!

Pretty sure I was doing this before I ever became a state govenor! LOL!

Taylor Swift

2010-02-01T19:40:00.000-08:00

How can you not love this girl?! I think it's really apparent as to how genuine she is and I also think that part of her success is backlash from the typical celebrity lifestyle and ego (Kanye West). Winning 4 Grammy's last night capped off an amazing 2009 for her! Oh, except when she actually dropped and broke one of the awards! Classic!

2010 should be a good one for her too! Not a bad actress I should mention! No academy awards yet I think, but she can hold her own! Check out this scene from the movie Valentine's Day (which seems to star every big actor and actress on the planet) with Tay!

Going "Au Natural"

2010-01-25T20:50:00.000-08:00

I'll be the first to admit, I hate shaving my face (doesn't help that I have to take out a small loan just to buy razors!). I will admit that it doesn't much compare to the amount of most body shaving that women must endure! Now I would imagine that there are a lot of variables that would affect whether or not women shave their legs in the winter, but despite that I felt the question needed to be asked! Do you shave your legs in the winter?! Here we're some of the responses I received!

Melissa

An extra coat to keep the legs warm.... maybe for you, especially in the -45 windchill weather. But not for us. Gotta keep them all nice and clean(and smooth) all the time, or at least I agree on that.

Dawn
I swim in the winter...so yes I shave year round...lol.

Elizabeth
I shave Every day I love silky smooth legs

Kaylee
agreed!!! ^

Janet
No I'm a hairy beast right now! When its cold outside its like having on long Johns without the bulk. And when the hair gets long enough it goes soft past prickle

I also have a question to throw out to guys and girls as well: Assuming that there isn't gonna be as much shaving going on in the winter, would you rather short and prickly or long and soft?! LOL!!

Brazilya Laser

2009-11-11T09:56:00.000-08:00

I just completed my 4th laser hair removal treatment at BrazilYa…and WOW! What a difference! I’m so used to hair growing back instantly, and what always seems to be thicker and fuller…Well not anymore!

So far, the hair growth has slowed immensely, and its coming in far thinner than ever before. I’ve still got a few treatments to go before I’m totally rid of the hair, but I’d recommend this to anyone who feels self conscious about having hair in places you don’t want it. My only suggestion, is don’t debate music with Lea…she’s the one holding the laser after all!!

But in all seriousness, I’m much more comfortable to wear clothes that I’ve never been comfortable to wear before. In fact, all I’ve bought lately is v-neck shirts, and they finally look good! Seeing the results is really addictive, I’ve now moved away from focusing solely on my chest, and I’m now tackling a little bit of the hair on my arms and back.

This really has changed my life…No more mess to clean, and best of all my confidence just keeps going up! Don’t let hair get the best of you….Give Lea and the team at BrazilYa a call today, or visit Brazil Y A laser dot com.

Calgary Flames H1N1 Controversy

2009-11-04T12:28:00.000-08:00

Calgary Flames players and family members recieved a private clinic for the H1N1 flu shot. It's stirred up quite a bit of controversy! Officials at Alberta Health Services admitted that protocol was not followed. I recieved a lot of comments on my Facebook wall. Check out what regular Calgarians think......

Monica Kozlowski
Not cool...just because you make millions does that mean you get special treatment? Not fair. I guess money buys you anything you want these days.

Drew Siewert
I am sure the ceo's for all the head offices in Calgary got thier's in a private clinic too. 2 tier health has been here for a while already. Sports stars get MRI's in days when most of us wait for weeks. Cest La Vie!

Thats BS. God forbid, The flames got sick and the season had to be cancelled. OH NOES!!!! I cant wait till this H1 shit passes, so sick of it.

Paulina Katarzyna Liwski
This is truly pathetic because there are more way deserving people that need to get the shot and now they have to wait or they might not even get it at all. It shows the world, hey if you got money, you can get anything you desire.

Just another reason for me to never support the Calgary Flames.

They should fire their publicist. That should have been kept under wraps. Lol

Karla Strickland
Really? Big shocker there. So they got vaccines like many other people not in the high risk groups? they took advantage of a flawed system, like most people would. More vaccines will be produced, more people will get them. The mortality rate of H1N1 is lower than the seasonal flu...it's not like they just killed a bunch of babies.
Yesterday at 17:58 · Delete

Tripp West
I think the question here is more about preferential treatment then it is about the actual vaccine or virus itself...
Yesterday at 18:01 · Delete

Ivy Kaschl
I think they should be considered high risk... and just some food for thought... what about all these people who sat in line and got their shots and forced the closure of clinics when they werent even close to high risk, just paranoid??? now there are high risk people who should have got the shot sitting at home waiting for theirs cause other people were to ignorant to wait. i dont like the flames, but support them and everyone in the nhl getting it.
Yesterday at 18:12 · Delete

Raquel Rule
personally I think the high risk groups and polices and other front line works should have been given it first then the regular population
Yesterday at 18:14 · Delete

Melissa Fulton
I really don't see this as an issue. There are already confirmed H1N1 cases in the NHL and the players are required to travel, which puts them at higher risk. If containment is part of the issue then any person required to do extensive travel should be vaccinated.
Yesterday at 18:20 · Delete

Vincent Tong
the flames should get shot , they suck , greedy mofos they already make millions and now they are stealing flu shot's??
Yesterday at 18:34 · Delete

Cindy Kaufman
Completely ridiculous. I am not getting the shot but this is so unfair to the people who have already stood in 5 hour queues and to those who still have to wait to get it.
Yesterday at 18:51 · Delete

Dean Udsen
Completely blown out of proportion! The chaos that would ensue having the flames stand In line with thousands of people. The gov't blew it by not proioritizing cases. Don't blame the flames for that. I have heard of other corps getting on site vaccinations as well. This is not a flames only situation.
Yesterday at 19:29 · Delete

Ashley Kleutsch
I think that its a great idea that the Flames got their shots without standing in line. Could you imagine people like Jarome Iginla standing in line with thousands of people to get a needle, in which people would probably go up to him asking for his autograph? I have heard of other corporations as well getting their shots without standing in line.
Yesterday at 19:52 · Delete

Kira Macleod
I agree with melisa fulton 100 % as well as thinking of the chaos it would have caused haveing the flames stand in line at a public clinic hahaha and no one is asking the govt if they have all had there shots and their families because I bet you money they all have and what puts them as high risk...

Ken King is just proving he has friends in high places. I know we can't all be first in line, and i'm ok with that. But what he did was give big heads more helium.
Yesterday at 23:55 · Delete

Kaylin McCullough
It's a loose/loose situation. If half the team got pulled out for getting H1N1 the whole city would be up in amrs asking why they didn't get there shots, and everyone would be P.Oed they couldn't watch the Flames. But yet people are mad about it. H1N1 is overrated as it is. Like 10% of cases go to the hospital for it, just like any other normal flu.

I'm sitting on the fence on this one... on one hand I don't think it's right, personally people working in health care, police, EMT's, firefighters etc are probably going to be in "more" contact with this than a sports professional, and should probably be moved to the "front of the line". But on the other hand look how much the team will be ... Read moretravelling in the next month, let alone the rest of the hockey season, they are going to get exposed, and could potentially bring another huge wave of it home with them, or take it to other cities. BUT then you get into the debate about pilots, and flight attendants. It's just a vicious circle.

Chuck Norris

2009-10-12T22:29:00.000-07:00

A lot of people know about the Chuck Norris jokes, but truth be told I only found out about them a couple months ago, and they are absolutely hilarious! If you're ever down, just google Chuck Norris! Here's a sample of some of my favs!

If you have five dollars and Chuck Norris has five dollars, Chuck Norris has more money than you.

There is no 'ctrl' button on Chuck Norris's computer. Chuck Norris is always in control.

Apple pays Chuck Norris 99 cents every time he listens to a song.

Chuck Norris can sneeze with his eyes open.

Chuck Norris can eat just one Lay's potato chip.

Chuck Norris is suing Myspace for taking the name of what he calls everything around you.

Chuck Norris destroyed the periodic table, because he only recognizes the element of surprise.

Chuck Norris can kill two stones with one bird.

Watch GLEE!

2009-09-30T12:59:00.000-07:00

One of the highest rated new TV shows is Glee! Hour long dramedy with tons of great music!!!

What more can you ask for?! Tonight's episode will feature the cast singing 3 ultra amazing songs! Queen's "Somebody To Love", Heart's "Alone", and Carrie Underwood's "Last Name"!

Take a chance, you'll enjoy it! Trust me!

November 20th There Will Be a New Moon

2009-09-21T11:56:00.000-07:00

I know ur a Twilight fan! As you must already know, the "saga" continues on November 20th with New Moon. Word is advanced screenings are already old out! It's crazy and its a phenomenon!

So that being said..... what happens to the main actors in the saga after its all over?! I had a chance to ask Kjarlune Rae, Canada's Top Clairvoyant (since she's a massive fan as well) which actor or actress would have the biggest career post-Twilight. And the winner is.......

Kristen Stewart!!

I always thought she was a little weird and awkward off camera, but there it is. Maybe she'll end up as the hottest new actress to grace the covers of romantic comedies like Meg Ryan from the 80's and 90's, and Jennifer Aniston from the last little while!

And who knows about Tayor Lautner.... He'll be the ripe old age of 26 in 10 years.. LOL!

What To Look For In A Mate

2009-07-21T11:49:00.000-07:00

When looking for "the one" you may want to look for the one that has the same flaws as you!

I'm a big believer in opposites attract. I really wouldn't want to date someone that is exactly like me. That would be weird. I don't mean people with the same interests, but people with the exact same personality. I'm sure it would drive me nuts!

That being said, I DO recommend you date someone with the same flaws. Picture it.......

"Babe, I'm so mad at you. You're LATE!" "Babe, you can't be mad at me! You're always late too!" "Ohhhh....you're right."

Now that is a functional relationship! You could never get mad about the other's flaws! What's left to fight about! You can now live in total bliss, being late for everything together! Love works in mysterious ways! LOL

Cleaning Before You Clean?!

2009-03-30T08:33:00.000-07:00

So I had the funniest conversation today with my neighbour. I use a maid to clean my house. Its a choice. I keep the place tidy, but I don’t do the bathroom, or floors, or dust.....should I continue?! Lol

So I have the maid coming and I ask my neighbour if she’d like him to clean her place. First thing she says is yes, but that she has to clean her place first. I laughed out loud!!! A cleaning before a cleaning! Doesn’t that defeat the purpose?!! Its like giving 110%! It’s not possible. Once something is clean, its CLEAN!!!The conversation then went on to her not wanting the maid to see her underwear. I couldn’t help but chime in the fact that the maid is gay! Would the panty issue still be a problem? At that point she backed up her argument by stating that in that case, she didn’t want him wearing them! HAHA!

So, the cleaning before the cleaning! Must be a female thing. I won’t even bother walking to the washroom if I know the maid is coming the next day! Ha! Joke!

PS: Would a guy be known as a maid?! Or just the cleaning guy?
Does that change if he’s gay?! LOL

50 Grand Beat The Bank Winner!!

2009-02-02T03:28:00.000-08:00

Energy 101.5 played Beat The Bank live at ATB on Saturday and we had a 50 grand winner!!! Crazy!!!! That takes huge guts to risk 25000 dollars and more to reach the 50k grand prize.

Beat The Bank is played all over Canada and this sets the Canadian record for biggest win!

More details and pics to come!!

Rising Price of Wiper Fluid

2009-01-12T20:06:00.000-08:00

You thought gas was expensive?!

I bought windshield washer wiper fluid at the gas station today for 5 bucks!!! 5 bucks!!! I remember when it was a buck! And the stuff was sold out because of the weather we've been having of course!

I need to get into that business! LOL

So with the container being about 2 litres, its approx. $2.50 a litre. Gas is around 80 cents a litre. And people complain about gas?!

The wiper fluid should wash my whole car for that much! HAHA

Twilight: Movie Review

2008-11-21T13:17:00.000-08:00

Twilight, Twilight, Twilight. Neither me or any of my guy friends have ever heard of this book or movie. Yet every female I know seems to be obsessed. That being considered, I'm quite shocked that I'd never heard of this at all!

So I saw the movie last night, without having read the book, or having any idea about the movie...... and I was entertained.

I felt like I was at the premiere of the 4th Star Wars movie. Instead of being in a theatre full of nerdy guys, I was in a room of bright eyed girls..... but the energy was the same. You could feel it vibrating through the room.

Truth be told, I slept through the first 10 minutes....LOL. But the rest was good enough to keep me awake!

Twilight is the classic story of forbidden love. Think Romeo and Juliet for vampires. Thankfully, the movie kept a good pace. It developed the characters enough, without letting it drag on. Another massive theme was protection. I'm talking about the ultimate protection for the one that you love. Protection from you, as well as protection from the outside world. And with that protection come ultimate trust. Can she trust that she will always be protected. Think about that..... as far as I'm concerned, you can't have true love without protection and trust, and that's what this movie portrays for these two.

The movie was quite stylised as well, with a very cold colour pallet and cool camera work.

Some parts got pretty "fromage", but it didn't take away too much.

Then there was the moment before the first kiss between vampire boy and human girl. You could feel the anticipation in the room. It was all quite amusing for me actually. Every single female in the audience was holding their breath.... then BANG! Climax! Literally and figuratively! LOL

So guys... take your women to this movie. Like I said, I could sense how hot and bothered every woman in the room was. Not to mention there's a few good action scenes and a few laughs to keep the men entertained.

Plus vampire boy is a crazy good driver.... (I'm in love with Audi now!)

Twilight gets a 8.5 on 10 on the Tripp Scale!

Film Review: Saw 5

2008-11-03T16:30:00.000-08:00

First off, I'm a huge horror film fan. And I don't often listen to critics when it comes to those types of movies......

They are what they are, and that's why I like them! And I've always like the Saw series.

Compared to other horror film series, this one actually ties together with it's predecessors. You can kind of tell that it was written backwards, as in they have to make up some back story to fit the current story.

So Saw is all about the death sequences right..... RIGHT! Well, they didn't disappoint! Let's just say they were even given a bit of a twist, so that was a nice change!

You know what though.... I almost dare to say that I'm not getting that grossed out anymore with these movies. I cool storyline does keep these Saw movies somewhat fresh though.

I suggest if you're a Saw fan, and I know there are a ton out there considering how much money this film series has made (the first Saw was supposed to be direct to DVD) you will continue to enjoy the series..... You know, the series where the good guys never win! HA!

14 hours, 54 Minutes, and 58 Seconds

2008-10-29T16:05:00.000-07:00

That's the amount of time left until the wedding as of when I've started typing this post. I cannot believe we are this close!! After a crazy 6 weeks we are soooo close, which leaves one very important question! What is going to happen tomorrow morning when the Monday and Manday meet at the alter?!

Opinions range from "happily ever after" to "happily never happens"! And the truth is that at this point we have absolutely no idea as to what is going to happen!

Don't forget you can listen online or on the radio at 8am and WATCH the festivities all happen via webcam at energy1015.com!

Dont forget to give me a call tonight at 1-866-467-1015 and let me know what you think about what's going to happen tomorrow!

Two Strangers in the Night

2008-10-20T15:24:00.000-07:00

You know when you meet someone new. That first phone conversation can be pretty nerve racking..... Does the person want to talk to me? Are we going to have anything to talk about? Is it going to be awkward? Am I going to say something stupid?

So many questions, but imagine that you were going to marry that person within two weeks?! Ya, all those little questions don't seem to matter as much eh?! LOL

That's what's going on all this week on my show. We are down to the 5 groom finalists and every night between 7p and 10p I'll be airing segments of a phone conversation between our bride "Monday" and each days groom finalist!

We are going to hear two people fall in love live on the radio! How crazy is that!!! Or the converstation could be a train wreck! Either way, I'll be entertained and you will be too! Trust me!

This is like blind phone date with a wedding attached at the end! Come on, not even the producers of the TV show "Blind Date" could have thought of this!

So make sure to listen every night this week to hear all the drama between 6p and 10p on Energy 101.5!

The Plot Thickens.....

2008-10-14T15:26:00.000-07:00

Well, our social experiment "2 Strangers & a Wedding" has been going great so far! We have a fabulous bride who will definitely make a great wife!

Talked to her yesterday about her celebrity crush which started off as Brian Austin Green, and ended up being Kelly Hrudy! Yes, Hockey Night in Canada's Kelly Hrudy! Too funny! Gotta love her!

So I just found out that tomorrow on Page 6 of the Calgary Sun, apparently there will be a picture of Monday, our bride! Ummmm..... Pretty sure no one is supposed to see her until the wedding. K, not pretty sure....positive!

Not to sure what the deal is with this picture, but I'm going to have Kelly Doody (page 6 writer) on with me in the 6pm hour tonight to get the inside scoop...... and apparently she has some other big news for me!

Where else can you find this kind of drama?! LOL!

Talk to y'all tonight!

Lip Service

2008-10-09T15:38:00.000-07:00

K..... time for a good old fashioned rant. I talked about this on the air Sunday night, and I want to reiterate!!!

Ladies....... you may think biting a dude's lip while kissing is HAWT.....IT'S NOT!

A nibble is hawt! Taking out a fork and knife and having dinner on a lip is NOT!

Here's an easy gage....

- The guy moans a little and nibbles back: GOOD!

- The guy pulls away every time you do it and has to start kissing you differently because he doesn't want you to do it again:BAD

- You start to notice that you're pulling skin off and perhaps start to taste blood:VERY BAD

So keep this in mind next time you decide to go get some mouth to mouth action!

This Bride is on Fire!

2008-10-08T16:00:00.000-07:00

In case you missed it, Monday's bride is the one who will be at the altar on October 30th for 2 Strangers and a Wedding!

What a smart and intelligent woman! Wish I could tell you she was beautiful but as it turns out I actually haven't seen her! But that's the point.... is love blind?!

So this has been quite a week for her. Last night she tried on wedding dresses and tonight she's having what I have dubbed as a "Planning Party". She's hooking up with the wedding planner and her close friends to try different cakes, and pick out stuff like the music and flowers!

I wonder what a guy version of this would be like?! LOL! I'm thinking guys hanging out, drinking beer watching football and getting nothing accomplished other than picking out what flavour of chicken wings they'll have at the wedding..... Oh, and perhaps a discussion on what brides maids the grooms buddies shoud go after!

Anyway, after 7p tonight I'll have our bride on the phone to discuss all the estrogen fueled fun of tonight's "Planning Party"!

Runaway Bride!

2008-10-03T15:42:00.000-07:00

Our social experiment "2 Strangers and a Wedding" has been pretty much going off without a any major hitches........ and the today!

At the last second, Friday's Bride decided to bow out of Two Starangers.... She said she decided back on Tuesday but took the rest of the week to think about it.

The feedback today has been crazy. Some people have been very sympatetic. Others, not so much.

Our boss Rob Mise was none to pleased either apparently...... I think the words he used were "we got snowed"! Guess the worst part is that there were a bunch of other bride finalists that never got the chance to be in the top 5.....

and so it goes......

We now move on with only 4 finalists, that are all amazing and worthy of your vote! You can vote on the final 4 all weekend long at energy1015.com!

Vote your brains out.... because we all know this is way more interesting then the federal election! :)

How They Looking?!

BIG NEWS!!!

2008-09-24T08:46:00.000-07:00

Hey friends! OK, so lots of huge things going on in Energy 101.5 land lately!

First off, 2 Strangers and A Wedding is on and just rockin' right now. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, go to energy1015.com. To make a long story short, we're going to get 2 people to meet at the altar and say "I Do" before actually ever seeing each other!

Sounds crazy.... I know! But we're taking this very seriously and putting the candidates through some crazy screening processes! (including lie detector tests live on the air!)

Something like 35 brides have applied so far! That's nutty!

We also have a VERY pink SUV driving around with the 2 Stranges and a Wedding logo on it. I was actually touring around in it yesterday...... I think VERY pink may be and understatement!

I actually had to keep looking down to make sure I was still attached while driving that thing! Don't think anyone could ever again question if I'm comfortable with my masculinity! LOL!

AIGGGHHHHTTT.......... Here's the other big news!

As of September 25th, I will be starting the all new Evening Show on Energy 101.5. I'll be live Monday to Friday from 6pm to 11pm! I have some really big plans for the show which will all slowly develop over the coming months. I have a somewhat wacky life and nothing will be off limits as far as I'm concerned once we get rolling!

All the HOTTEST music along with all the HOTTEST chat and listener interaction! It will truly be "a show"!

That being said, I need a name for the show! Please send forth your ideas!

If your idea stick I will be eternally grateful, and will def owe you a few drinks at The Whiskey.... (which I'm live at every Saturday night!!!)

Today's Bryan Adams Song Quote:

See you Saturday night at The Whiskey!

Mid-Twenties Crisis

2008-09-04T10:10:00.000-07:00

I've just discovered the mid-twenties crisis! So if a mid-life crisis is getting old and buying and doing things that you would feel like you're in your twenties again, then the mid-twenties crisis is doing something in you mid-twenties that makes you feel like a teenager again!

And truth be told, it's not really a crisis! It's a good thing.....

So for whatever reason, I whole heartedly, of sound heart and mind, decided to go buy a comic book! I used to love comic books and all things nerdy when I was 15, but I haven't bought one since then!

I walked into the comic book store and it was fricken' surreal because now I can have anything I wanted in the store which definitely wasn't the case when I was 15.

That is the coolest feeling in the world.

So take advantage of your mid-twenties...... um, situation! Now that you have some money go and do something that you loved when you were a teenager, but couldn't do as much as you would have liked to because of obvious reasons. Chances are you'll still enjoy it in your mid-twenties!

My partner in crime, Kjarlune Rae (Canada's top clarivoyant and manifestation expert) liked to drink and hang out with her boyfriend at 15, so I suggested she go clear out a liquor store, and perhaps hire an escort to enjoy it with! LOL!

So don't mind me.... I'll be over here nerding it up with my new Spiderman comic book. Time for this kid to go on a living spree!

Who Has Time to Shop For Cards?

2008-07-24T14:08:00.000-07:00

Who has time to shop for cards? I'm talking about birthday cards, wedding cards, anniversary cards, etc......

So here's the thing, walk into a pharmacy or a card store, and needless to say, there are a lot of cards to choose from! Different colours, different shapes, different sizes, they sing, they dance, they tell a story, they pop out, they colapse in, they cook you dinner (ok, they don't do that.....yet)!

Bottom line is that there is a ton of selection....but here's the thing! It still only takes men 5 minutes max to find a card. So who has time? Men do!

Women on the other hand....... what a mess! Might as well pack a lunch becasue we're gonna be here a while! Guys..... do not go card shopping with women if you at all value your time! I'd say it takes a minimum of 20 minutes per card.

And women, don't bother asking the chump you brought along if "they like this card". You may as well bring in a tape player that has the line "ya babe, that's a good one" on repeat!

Now you may ask why it takes them so long.... Bottom line is that they are looking for the perfect card that relates to whomever they're buying the card for and the relationship they share with that person.... Most ironic part is that despite how personal they want the card to be, it was written by someone else!! I'd rather a hand written note any day!

All this brings me to one conclusion. Despite how often women preach "it's the thought that counts" it's obviosly not the case. Guys can pick out any card in 5 minutes and it doesn't matter because "it's the thought that counts"! Obviously not the case with women because to them it's "whatever someone else wrote on this card is what counts"!

Guys, if you happen to get dragged into a pharmacy with a girl, let's hope it's to pick up tampons.... Although you may suffer from a lack of dignity, atleast you get to keep your precious time!

Break Up Songs

2008-07-17T00:42:00.000-07:00

There's 2 things I associate with my ex-girlfriends which I'll never forget.

1. Their smell...

2. The break up song.....

You know whenever you smell your ex's smell it'll pop right out at you. That's usually a good association or memory. The break up song...... maybe not!

So, here is the list of break up songs from my last four long term girlfriends.

Nadia: "This Love" by Maroon 5
Wasn't even with her for that long, but it really hit me hard for some reason. Plus it was on and off a couple times. So the line "this love has taken it's toll on me" really made me feel better.

Sasha: "Here Without You" by 3 Doors Down
We didn't really break up. We had to becasue after 9 months she moved to Spain for school. So the reason for this song is pretty obvious.

Kassandra: "Lips of an Angel" by Hinder
I started dating my next girlfriend shortly after i broke up with Kassandra. Was with her for around 2 and a half years. Anyway, while I was with my new gf I was still pretty hung up for a while, so if you know the song, you know why it fits.

Sarah: "For The Nights I Can't Remember" by Hedley
We lasted about a year and a half. The whole thing was pretty rocky but was the first gf I lived with. The 6 months we lived together were horrible, and for some odd reason, it still kinda stings 8 months after we broke up..... weird! So the line "If fallin' for you girl is crazy, then I'm going out of my mind" kinda hit home for me.

So there you have it.... What are your break up songs?!!!

Update: July 18, 2:40pm

Found some stuff out..... it doesn't sting anymore! lol

Reason Why It Sometimes Sucks To Have A Girlfriend

2008-07-14T17:51:00.000-07:00

I was in Edmonton last night to hang out with the Rockstar crew. Includes my good friend Adam H. who is the manager and producer for Canadian recording artist Elise Estrada. They're opening up for 50 Cent on his Canadian dates.

So some random people came to the afterparty which include a couple that are apparently engaged. Nice enough people.... Anyway, we were in the VIP area at a club, and in the VIP area Lloyd Banks (who is part of G-Unit) had his own private section.

I look over and the female in the couple was in there full on "groupie" style. Drinking, partying with the G-Unit guys. I look over and there is her fiancee standing around like a chump on the other side of the room, trying to pretend like he wasn't paying attention, but I saw right through it!! Why did I see through it???

Last summer my live in girlfriend was doing the same with Nickelback. I even went to the bar and she wouldn't hang out with me.... Then the next day I see pics of them together, hugging, cheek kissing, and overall her being uber-disrespectful. Worst part was my mom and friends had to see the pics because they were on facebook! Should have left her right then instead of hanging around for a few more months of crap....

So back to last night, the girl got super drunk and he had to take care of her after.... I feel bad for him. He tried to play it cool, but if that shows you're jealous, them I'm jealous. Just disrespectful! I've been there, it feels like crap and is the....... "Reason Why It Sometimes Sucks To Have A Girlfriend".

PS: I say "sometimes sucks" because if you're with the right person, this stuff never even comes up.
