So I recently started working out. After many months of doing the same work-out (pictured below) with no results, I decided to start really working out.
When I walk and jog, I really start sweating. This caused me to start a new blog topic... "What Marty's Sweat Blots Look Like."
I see a koala bear. Let me know if you disagree.
Look for the new series... "Marty's Sweat Blots," coming soon.

I love me a good live event awards show! I usually take to Twitter during them, so if you get notifications on my Twitter account, I apologize!Below is a highlight recap of some of what I tweeted during the show. Each tweet has some explanation, or a picture, or a video to put it in context. Keep in mind, each tweet was done live during the event. (The times on the twitter archive are off by 7 hours because of Twitter's archive service not being in the same time zone that I am in.)
They are chronological starting with the earliest tweets and going to the latest.
Taylor Swift has a good new look, but I liked it better the first time when it was named Olivia Newton John.

That old dude at the piano with the blue glasses had a pretty good voice. #Grammys
— Marty Simpson (@martysimpson) February 11, 2013
Wait - I thought @franklinmissy sang, "Call Me Maybe." #Grammys
— Marty Simpson (@martysimpson) February 11, 2013
Tweet as Carly Rae Jepsen was recognized as the singer for "Call Me Maybe."
Adele's speech ended with, "See you later." like she knows she'll be back up there in a few minutes. #Grammys

Evidently it's "Fun" to be rained on and then almost electrocuted. #Grammys
— Marty Simpson (@martysimpson) February 11, 2013
Tweeted as I watched Fun perform their song, "Carry On." Special effects included live rain on them while they performed... seriously. The video below should start right at the raining. If not, scrub to the 2:30 mark.
We need a back drop that says, "country music..." we'll we gotta huge silver glitter oak tree? PERFECT! #Grammys

I could be a background dancer for Mumford cuz I can bob my head hard on the beat with the best of em. #Grammys @llcoolj
— Marty Simpson (@martysimpson) February 11, 2013
This was tweeted as I watched the below performance by the amazing Mumford and Sons. Skip to 2 minutes into it right where their heads start bobbing (It should automatically.) Or listen to an amazing song by Mumford and Sons.
Here's what I learned from the #Grammys - Johnny Depp is ten times bigger than everyone. They hyped his 4 word intro for an hour. @llcoolj
— Marty Simpson (@martysimpson) February 11, 2013
The genius producers of the Grammys hyped Johnny Depp for over an hour. Literally every bounce to commercial started with, "And coming up, Johnny Depp to introduce Mumford and Sons."
Below is his entire appearance on the Grammys. It's only 19 seconds. Nothing else.
And I have two words for you Mr. Depp, "CUFF LINKS."
For some reason the Grammy producers thought it would be cool to start Timberlake's performance in black and white. I guess because it's a throw-back song. I tweeted this after Jay-Z took the stage.
Justin Timberlake is in black and white. Jay-Z Is in color. #Grammys @llcoolj @2trillion
— Marty Simpson (@martysimpson) February 11, 2013
@martysimpson Dude, you lost your man card for Tweeting 32 times about the Grammys
— Mike Britt (@CockyMike) February 11, 2013
To all my followers who have notifications turned on for me, I apologize for my Grammy bananza. Just know, I only really do this on live event award shows, and things like the Super Bowl. So you can turn your turn notifications back on... at least until the Oscars.
Hey Hugh Jackman, your acting was stellar, but Timberlake could've hit the high notes in Bring Him Home. #truth #Grammys
— Marty Simpson (@martysimpson) February 11, 2013
This was just as simple obversation from a Les Mis die hard fan! Below is my own version of One Day More, filmed with my brother and life-long friend, Will Hall, circa 1991.
Adam Levine, after The Voice, the mysterious vibe is gone. Now you're just skinny jeans poking out your butt when u sing. #Grammys @llcoolj
— Marty Simpson (@martysimpson) February 11, 2013
This one is pretty self explanatory I think.
"I know, they just roll outta bed & come to the show." - Every male black artist about every male white artist #Grammys @llcoolj @2trillion
— Marty Simpson (@martysimpson) February 11, 2013
Noteworthy: This applies to comedians as well. Just ask @AKLAUGHS.
I thought it was called, "No Church in a While." #probablyMoreAccurate #Grammys @llcoolj
— Marty Simpson (@martysimpson) February 11, 2013
I heard these guys doing this song and just assumed it was named "No Church in a While." Turns out, it's "No Church in the Wild." Who knew? Not me.
"I would like to thank the swap meet for his hat." - Jay-Z - Quote of the Night #grammys
— Marty Simpson (@martysimpson) February 11, 2013
This was the stand-out moment for me. Jay-Z made me laugh out loud when he said this into the mic in front of eveyrone about dude's hate shown below.
Image goes here.
"Here's to you Sitar playing guy..." - REAL AMERICAN HEROES (sung to the tune of the Miller LIte radio commercial.) #grammys @llcoolj
— Marty Simpson (@martysimpson) February 11, 2013
Turns out this is a Bud Light commercial theme. Apologies to Bud folks. Here is a Youtube video of an example of one of them. I think the Sitar guy could be a subject of one of these, and I'm serious.
The CBS commercial thanking me for making them number 1 makes me want to stop watching CBS on principle. #grammys @llcoolj
— Marty Simpson (@martysimpson) February 11, 2013
This one is also self-explanatory. This commercial creeps me out. The only way it could be worse is if Charlie Sheen were still on CBS.
Adele singing along = COOL. Neal Patrick Harris singing along = Dorky. #grammyawards @llcoolj
— Marty Simpson (@martysimpson) February 11, 2013
I couldn't find a picture of this, but if you saw it you know what I mean.
"This is confusing... but I like it." - Most White Country Artists in the audience at the #GrammyAwards during "Could You be Loved."
— Marty Simpson (@martysimpson) February 11, 2013
If you don't understand this one, ask your black friend to explain it to you. I realize he may not be with you right now while you read this, but when you see him next time at work... ask him.
Everyone talking into mic during a song could be paraphrased as: "Ladies and gentlemen, now someone more famous than I am..." #grammyawards
— Marty Simpson (@martysimpson) February 11, 2013
It was just always funny to me that after a person completely murdered their number, they were usually forced to then introduce someone joining them who was a much bigger star. Was it just me?
"Turns out, Loki is a decent Musician...who knew?" - Thor at the #grammyawards @thegrammys @llcoolj

Tweeted this one during Jack White's performance.
Fun took 12 years to be nominated and win as Best New Artist -- 12 years to become overnight success. #grammyawards @llcoolj
— Marty Simpson (@martysimpson) February 11, 2013
The dude who won "BEST NEW ARTIST" literally said the phrase, "We've been doing this 12 years, so thanks!"
Lead dude from Fun gets botox on the weekends and tours with One Direction. #grammyawards @llcoolj
— Marty Simpson (@martysimpson) February 11, 2013
My daughter would not appreciate me making fun of One Direction, so I'll just leave this one alone. You can judge it on face value in the picture below.
And in an unbelievable twist, Taylor Swift rushes the stage and steals Prince's cane! #grammys @llcoolj @thegrammys @2trillion
— Marty Simpson (@martysimpson) February 11, 2013
This one should be self-explanatory. If not, google the phrase "Kanye and Taylor Swift."
Which is cooler? Winning the Grammy, or having Prince say, "Oh, I love this song," before he introduces it. #grammys
— Marty Simpson (@martysimpson) February 11, 2013
When Prince announced the winners they acted more excited to shake Prince's hand than they did win the Grammy.
Dude just called Prince old... #grammys - He masked it by throwing around the phrase, "inspired me..."
— Marty Simpson (@martysimpson) February 11, 2013
Just an actual observation.
Is this Forrest Gump song an SNL sketch? #grammys #seriousQuestion
— Marty Simpson (@martysimpson) February 11, 2013
All-time worst Grammy moment. The idea that this now shows up in a Youtube search next to "Tom Hanks Winning Oscar for Forrest Gump" just makes me sad.
Dear Guy Singing right now --- Forrest Gump is not a real person. #grammys
— Marty Simpson (@martysimpson) February 11, 2013
Also, the internet is all a blaze with posts about how bad he sung the song. I am not referring to that at all. I'm talking about a dude singing a song to Forrest Gump. Seriously?
Here it is, if you can stand it.
Whitest thing said at a party : "I would rather dance on stage in background for Mumford and Sons than LL Cool J." @llcoolj @mumfordandsons
— Marty Simpson (@martysimpson) February 11, 2013
Another self-explanatory one, I hope.

Video below which inspired the above tweet. Skip forward to minute 3:40 to see what I was talking about (If it doesn't automatically.)
Sports fans who unfollowed me while tweeting like a groupie during the #grammys, just know I'm an Events Show junkie, it won't happen often.
— Marty Simpson (@martysimpson) February 11, 2013
Except during The Oscars... The Emmys... The Golden Globes... and probably The Super Bowl.
