Psychology of Seating in Church vs. Concert

So last year while I was unemployed I started going to church. It was a very long time since I attended services, and I needed a change in my life. Actually I think the same time I started going to church is when I stopped updating this blog.

I have attended many concerts over the years. Last year I saw U2 in Dublin (church pic from the church I attended in Dublin) and Pearl Jam (concert pic is from the last show ever) at the last event ever in the Spectrum in Philadelphia. It’s amazing how people will spend lots of money and spends lots of time waiting for a great seat at a concert. The best seats at a concert are up front in the center. Now if you ever go to church, you see the opposite. I think that’s just wrong. People usually sit scattered to the sides and back of the church rather than to the front and center.
I recently saw the movie “Keeping the Faith” on TV last month. I haven’t seen it in awhile and it’s a good flick. This film is Edward Norton’s directorial debut. He plays a priest and Ben Stiller plays a rabbi. They both bring large audiences to their places of worship in the movie. It would be nice if people at my church sat in the front and in the middle like in the film. It doesn’t cost any money to attend (a charitable donation is recommended) and you don’t have to wait hours without going to the bathroom to sit up front and in the center.

Goodbye 2009… Hello 2010

Wow what a year 2009 has been. If you could believe it, JiminPA has posted more than twice as many blogs in 2009 than my blog side project Texas Dog Party. It’s amazing because Texas Dog Party has more than twice as many posters than JiminPA (Mr. Las Vegas and yours truly). I haven’t left PA for good. I work in NJ during the day and then I’m back in PA.

I have been keeping busy. I have a new job. Life is good. I still will continue to update my Twitter, Yelp, and other blogs. So stay tuned because JiminPA will return in 2010 with more posts than 2009. Enjoy!

Knight Rider Turbo Boost

I caught this on Jalopnik today. If you can handle Metallica playing over 10 minutes of Turbo Boost scenes from Knight Rider, then enjoy.

U2 Videos and Concert on Comcast On Demand

The U2 marketing machine is in full force. The last two nights on Letterman were awesome. If you have Comcast, you have access to full concerts and music videos on demand and in HD for free. Make sure to check it out. U2 has some great music videos and works with great directors.

U2 on Letterman all this week!

I’m more of a Leno fan than Letterman. But, I will have to watch this week because U2 is on all this week. Late Night with Jimmy Fallon premieres tonight. Conan will be on a vacation because he doesn’t host until the summer.

Too Much TV on Sunday Night

I’ve said it. There is too much I want to watch tonight. I think I need like five TiVos. I guess I can catch most stuff on demand or on Hulu. Here’s my Sunday lineup for shows I want to see:
NBC – Celebrity Apprentice 9pm. The cast looks very good on this show; Andrew Dice Clay, Joan Rivers, Tom Green, and Dennis Rodman. I never really watched The Apprentice, but I got to see this.
SPEED – Wind Tunnel 9pm. The racing season has started. That means Wind Tunnel is back on Speed. This is a great show where people call in about the week in racing. Usually Dave Despain gets some good guests on the show too.
Comedy Central – Employee of the Month movie premiere 9pm. I never saw this movie. It looks like it can be funny.
MTV – Rob Dyrdek’s Fantasy Factory 9pm. I never really watched Rob and Big. But, when I did it was a decent show. His new show is pretty entertaining. I want to work at the Fantasy Factory. Nitro Circus 10pm. This is the new Jackass on MTV and my new favorite show. You gotta check out Travis Pastrana and his friends doing crazy things.
VH1 – Rock of Love Bus with Bret Michaels 9pm. The first two seasons were good, this season is OK. This is way better to watch than The Bachelor. Tool Academy 10pm. The title says it all. The show started out good, but it’s turning out to be OK. Overall the VH1 reality shows with “celebs” are pretty good.
So what to watch tonight?
