this is sick

I bought a ticket to see the Goo Goo Dolls/Third Eye Blind/Vanessa Carlton at the Concord Pavilion on Sept. 12th and I can’t get anyone to go with me… this is sick…. yes it’s on a Thursday, big whoop.. The earth isn’t going to fall down because you go to an event on a work/school night, but oh well. what can ya do right? I’m cool with it… It’ll be fun to have my own blanket, snacks and binoculers, and just chill out and enjoy some of my favorite bands and artists.

If anyone is reading this remember this one piece of advice I have… life is way too short to not do something just because you don’t have people that are willing to do it with you… I’ve known this for awhile but I have stopped myself from doing things in the past just because I had no one to go with me… and I totallly missed out… So from now on I’m not going to hinder myself… When I went to the Loudermilk show in SF I didn’t feel crappy about being there by myself… Throughout the day of the show I kept thinking that maybe I shouldn’t go, but I knew that I couldn’t bail out on Streetwise (who were expecting me to be there), so I went, and I didn’t feel bad or weird or crappy at all…. I was very proud of myself that I went and had a great time… I got tons of swag out of it too, which is always a good thing… Plus there were other people there who were alone and it just reinforced the fact that going it alone is not a big deal….

Another piece of advice that I have (that kinda goes hand in hand with the above) is that you shouldn’t worry about what other people are thinking about you in situations like that… I mean people do not give a rats ass about you and what you’re doing (if they don’t know you that is, I would hope that your friends give a rats ass)…. People are way to busy about what’s going on in their lives to be staring at you wondering what’s going on in your head… so don’t worry about it…

Today is “Counting Crows” day for moi because their new cd comes out today and I am going to Tower today to pick that sucker up straight away!

Todd called me on Sunday but I had my ringer turned off so I didn’t hear it… I talked to him today though and he’s going to call me tonight. I’m totally looking forward to that… Also he said that he’ll probably be coming up to the bay area at the end of this month… So I guess I’ll finally get to meet the guy I’m not sure how I feel about this whole thing with him…. I just know that I don’t want my first meeting with him to happen at work. That would just suck. I’d prefer it if we met like the day before or something on my turf somewhere… It’d just be easier that way…
