So a couple of nights ago, my girlfriend was really bored. I mean BORED; like desperately crushed bored. It is really my fault; I mean, I am a computer nerd kinda guy, who likes sports and enjoys school. She can’t stand me being on the computer, becomes physically ill while watching sports, and would much rather sleep through her first class than get up… Now they say opposites attract, and in fact we are attracted to each other, but our interests aren’t exactly matched up perfectly.

So, back to the story, after a bit of whining, my mind went back to earlier in the day when I had read a little tidbit in the paper about Jamie Foxx being in town. I thought to myself, hey, this is a great idea. We ended up buying tickets and went to the show on Saturday night.

It was pretty damn cool. I mean, I didn’t expect it to be this comedy/concert hybrid, but it was fun. It was like, the comedy set was for the guys and the music was for the ladies. Foxx, after finishing the comedy act, even said, “Now fellas, you are all welcome to stay, but this is for the ladies.” Well, it sure as hell was. But before I get to that, I just wanted to touch on some of his comedy stuff.

I guess I think he is pretty funny. I mean, if you have ever seen a comedy show on BET, you will feel some deja vu while watching Foxx, but, like I said, it is still damn funny. Here is a sample of some of his material (I found it at the Ultimate Jamie Foxx fan site):

• On Janet Jackson: “She whispered her entire album. I said, ‘What’s wrong with my speakers?’”
• On O.J.: “O.J. be everywhere, like he still in style, like he got a hot record album. He has no remorse and he crazy. … He arrogant. What is he doing? Every black person is saying, ‘You already got away; don’t dance in the end zone!’”
• On Angelina Jolie: “You famous when you can just go over to another country and pick up some kids like you’re shopping for vegetables. I wish she was adopting when I was coming up. I would have breast-fed till I was 37.”
• On Oprah: “They say I [sleep with] everybody. So, I’m layin’ in bed with Oprah. I lean over to Gayle and say, ‘Don’t believe this sh*t. It’s just between us three!’”

Surprisingly, there was very little about George Bush, but I am pretty damn tired of that sort of stuff anyways. I mean, we get it; he is dumb… Find something else that is funny, Jon Stewart!

As for the concert, it was definitely for the ladies. For those of you unfamiliar with his music (this included me until last night), it is this romantic, R&B kinda stuff. Personally, I really like when he sang some of Ray Lewis’ songs, but my girlfriend felt that he took it too far when he impersonated him for all of these weird monologues with some strippers on the stage. I have to give him one thing: he sure as hell can get into character, no matter what the situation.

Anyways, I just want to say, if you have a chance, you should check out the schedule and watch him live. It was definitely a great Saturday night.
