Universe Log 6: Your Guide Was Ill

 >>>>>BEGIN TRANSMISSION<<<<<

    Hey guys. I didn't post yesterday. Part of it was because I've been sick for the last few days and by the time I remembered last night that my blog was supposed to go up that day, it was too late and I was too tired to care. Things get postponed sometimes.
   See, I got food poisoning from Burger King. I'm not 100% that was the case, but I'm about 79% sure, because I had Burger King for lunch on Wednesday and felt aches and a loss of appetite that night, which evolved into the next couple days involving those symptoms, as well as diarrhea, vomiting, stomach cramps, and chills. I haven't had a solid poopy since Wednesday. I know that might be TMI, but you've seen other universes; is poop talk really too much for you?
   I'm feeling better, but I still stayed home from work today after clearing it up with my boss. I felt bad, but I really didn't wanna risk it with how I'm feeling and the fear that putting my body through work would upset it further, especially since a long hot shower last night made me struggle to breathe for a few minutes. 
   Long story short, food poisoning is not fun. I don't think I've ever had it before now, and I certainly never want to experience this again.
   So because I'm such a routine person, I feel uncomfortable having missed a posting day. But I mean, come on man, my body was rebelling against me. 
    Anyway, I know this is turning out to be a shorter episode and I know it's weird to dedicate an episode to your body declaring war on itself, but because food poisoning made me miss my date, I felt like I should call it out.

Ranking Every Concert I Went To In 2024

  As of this writing, it is September 28, 2024. I have been to six concerts this year. As October seems to be the last month of the year that most bands really do shows (because concerts don't really happen in the winter very much), and October is too close to really get tickets and set up another day to see a concert, I'm pretty sure I'm unfortunately done with concerts for the year. Six is a great number to cap it off on, and I'm excited to see what bands I see in 2025.    So, since my 2024 concert season is (presumably) over, I thought I'd take a little bit to rank all six concerts I went to. 6. Taking Back Sunday  -Opener(s): Citizen -Date: June 12, 2024 - Venue: Mission Ballroom   Let me just first say that it breaks my heart to rank this one last, because I loved it. It's only at the bottom because I can't justify any of the other five being below it. I went with my best friend, and it so cool to see such an iconic emo/alternative band surrounded by so...

The Linkin Park Situation

Image
   In 2017, the music world was shaken with the terrible news that Chester Bennington, lead vocalist and frontman of Linkin Park, had committed suicide. Linkin Park broke up, and for the following years they sporadically dropped unreleased songs and anniversary releases and stuff.    Jump to fairly recently, and they announced they're coming back. They've already released a single, announced an album and tour dates, and are already performing. Mike Shinoda, the guy who did co-lead vocals with Chester Bennington, is still doing co-lead vocals, but now they've also got this new singer, Emily Armstrong, who apparently also sings for a band called Dead Sara.     And she's controversial. For two reasons. The first thing is that she supported Danny Masterson when he was first on trial for his rape charges. Armstrong was apparently one of the people who showed up in his defense. However, she has addressed this, and said that she soon realized she shouldn't ha...

Tours Through Discographies: Green Day

Image
   I finally saw Green Day the other night! I loved the show so much I have made the decision that they are now my #1 favorite band (sorry, Bastille). Not every album is great, but the ones that are great are more than great - they're legendary.    I know I don't shut up about American Idiot, but it's not even just that one. Dookie, Nimrod, 21st Century Breakdown, and even the newest one, Saviors, are arguably just as legendary. They've created literal stories with their music, maintained their relevance since the eighties and on, and their literally in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame! Plus, all three of them are insanely talented. My sister even said that she liked that Billie Joe Armstrong sounds live exactly like he does in recordings.    I was gonna break this one into two different parts since they have a whopping fourteen albums and counting, but screw it: I'm just gonna do a really big episode! 1. 39/Smooth (1990)    ...
