Happy National Emo Day!
Stuff and Things for Jobseekers and Talent Acquisition Professionals
Happy National Emo Day
I just found out that today is National Emo Day! I didn’t know that was an official thing! Then again, every day is Emo Day for me.
I am glad this holiday is celebrated, and I hope everyone is listening to emo music from the woods to the Bayside. I hope everyone gets to enjoy some American Football over break. And if you are watching in another country, I hope you enjoy your futbol and that your team doesn't get a Yellowcard. I hope that nobody gets sick during this time, as there is so much good food, and you will hate it if your Senses Fail. I am hoping that the holidays bring jobseekers something Brand New in the new year. Maybe it is a New Found Glory in the non-profit world, or it could be Something Corporate. And to those employed, I hope they have come up with a Simple Plan to be successful in 2025. Make sure to say what you are thankful for at dinner, you can even share a Story of the Year.
I over did it. I just had to Say Anything but I will now say no Paramore.
This year, like most others, I went to many concerts. Concerts and movies are two things are big parts of my life. I saw many emo bands this year, including:
New Found Glory
Something Corporate
Porter Robinson
City and Colour
Bowling for Soup
Senses Fail
I only have one show lined up next year so far and that is The Used and they are playing their first album!
You can find my concert reviews on my website: layriotta.com
