Giving this thing a try

OK...so growing up I never gave in to peer pressure, however when it comes to this blog I have to admit that a hot girl gave me a hard enough time that I decided to give it a try. I don't promise to be witty or funny, or hell even be that interesting or update it often. But at least I can say that I have a blog, right? The lengths men will go to in order to try to impress girl sheesh.

So last night I ended up going to sing some karaoke with a few friends. I hadn't done that in a while so I figured what the hell. Get some brews and belt out a few songs. The most fun that I get from karaoke is people watching. It ranks right up there with the airport really. The varying types of people that show up to sing is a vast array from the still living in the 70s hippie who is singing songs that my parents probably took a few tokes to while listening, to the karaoke whore. This is not only the description of how she has submitted 20 songs to sing, but also the fact that she is on any guy that gives her the slightest compliment. Most the time they can sing, but after the 10th song it gets rather annoying. It's like their own personal concert that noone paid to get in. Anyone who has ever gone to karaoke knows this girl. She is the one that before the end of the night she will be going home, just not to her home. Some dude is in for a very awkward goodbye in the morning (if he is lucky VERY early morning, like right after he is done).

So I should probably have talked about my blog name first before going off on that rant, but oh well. I heard the term Metro Jethro recently when I was listening to one of my favorite comedians, John Reep. It sounded so good I figured I would blatantly steal it, however it is not plagiarism since I just gave him credit for it right?? :) So to me, what Metro Jethro means is that I am a city boy living in the south. What I have found in 6 short years is that even though where I grew up was not exactly the biggest city, it sure was/is a lot bigger than here. And on top of that, the values are a little different. In future blogs I will detail out some funny things that happened to me in the first few months of me living here. And yes, I can hear the banjos. For now, I think this is good for a first post so enjoy.
