What is wrong with all my friend's? Now Ernie is a metrosexual. Him and his cooking dinner for his girl in a fondue pot. No wonder he worries so much. I'd lay in bed at night too and ask myself, "man, how gay am I?" Men, real men, cook on grills, or at the very least fry what they are cooking. I could almost go as far as saying using a stir fry pan is ok, but fondue? What's next Ern, you gonna start baking? Tell me, what color is your apron? I'm guessing yellow. A metrosexual would argue the neutrality of yellow, while the rest of know how feminine it is. No wait, yours would be mint green, yeah that's it. And what is up with the need to be so trendy? I know that fondue is all the rage with the cultured crowd, but puh-lease. But that's Ernie, he is the trendmeister, a regular new world man. Get out your deep fryer and cook like a man!

Anyway, I got see Toto's live 25th anniversary concert from Amsterdam. Let me just say this once... These guys are unbelievable musicians. Most of you know them only for their big hit 'Africa', but there is so more to them than that one song. Well, there is not ONE BAND out there now that can touch these guys. NOT ONE. They not only have a great band together, but they are all mega prolific studio musicians. You can almost name some one and at least one of them have played on their album. As my Dad and I sat and watched it, he said, "most young people these days would listen this and say they suck." He's right and that is too bad. Most people I know, with the exception of Ernie, just couldn't appreciate these guys because they play solos, don't have to use weird tunings to get a unique sound, and there is no one rapping during their vamps. When me and Ernie finally get this battle of the bands going, I'll be making sure they are highly rated. At the very least top 50, maybe better.
