Before You Buy A General Admission Ticket, Make Sure You Know What You're Getting Into

Get ready to throw some elbows.

Recently, I got the chance to go see one of my favorite rappers in concert, and while it was one of the best experiences I will ever have, I still have a few complaints as to why I will never attend a "general admission" concert again.

First of all, I am not one who will let someone push me around, not verbally, and especially not physically and I honestly thought that I was going to end up in a brawl on multiple occasions. There were some people who would come in late, and start pushing from the back to get through to the front, and it was just aggravating. I mean, if you wanted a better spot you shouldn't have come in late, duh.

I am also not a fan of physical contact. It was honestly my worst nightmare. I was stuck in an enclosed space, skin-to-skin with so many strangers. Oh, and let's not forget that everyone was hot and sweaty, and overall just flat-out gross.

Also, my feet hurt so bad! I mean, I realized that general admission meant I'd be on my feet the whole time, so I thought I had prepared myself with closed-toe, no-heel shoes, but no. Going into the third hour I wanted to sit on the ground regardless of how nasty I could only imagine it was down there.

If we're being honest here, I was miserable for quite some time while stuck in this basement-like theater with no cell service, but when the real show started it made up for every experience that was making the night so bad.

I definitely don't regret going, but I will say that if the opportunity for another general admission concert ever comes up you will not catch me there.

I am going to a rhyme without reason date function and I have looked at so many different rhyming words and I figured there need to be a new list of words. At these functions, there are usually at least two rockers and boxers and an umpteenth amount of dogs and frogs. I have come up with a list of creative and unique ideas for these functions.

If you like what you see, get a shopping cart going with these costumes.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
