While I don’t get to use the app as much as I used to, I love Twitter. It gives people the chance to express their thoughts in 140 character outbursts. There is nothing in the world like it.
The number one best thing about Twitter is when all factions of #BlackTwitter congregate and give their thoughts about an award show, a major television event, or television show. The second best thing about this wonderful place is watching people “tweet through” the struggle. Sometimes it’s a story, others it’s their heartbreak (the BEST), and then there’s just the need to vent.
Well, yesterday was my nephew’s Holiday Show at his elementary school. It was at 9 am and it’s a show at an elementary school. All of us adults and parents must suffer through all of the terrible performances to sit there and be so damn proud of our children. Seeing them do their best definitely makes the wait worthwhile; but not while you’re sitting there actually waiting. With that said, here is my play-by-play commentary of one of many shows like this that I will have to sit through in my lifetime.

It sounds just as bad as I thought it would. Every instrument is either sharp or flat.

There's squeaking of clarinets. The trombones are coming in as quarter notes. They sound like farts.

I understand how my parents must've felt. Because I prolly thought I was DOING it on these elementary school stages in the early 90's.

My first thought is "Damn these are some tall kindergartners. *looks at program* Oh, it's kindergarten and first grade."

The girl who was the high school bully in 2002 is Ms PTA mom in the front row. She looks like she should be on Orange Is the New Black.

I was looking at my program. That song they played was "The Dreidel." Sounded like "Away In A Manger"

I think it is a prerequisite for all teachers at this school to know how to properly conduct.

The kindergartens and first graders held notes better than second and third grade. But they had a little harmony to them.
