New York, and music
I should post this before it's 12:00 PM Eastern in an effort to catch people on their lunch break, and be able to actually have people making commonets.
I have been thinking about my plan to go to New York, and I'm losing enthusiasm. I don't know why I am, I should be terribly excited about going in the first place, whether it'd be to see the Arcade Fire or the Welcome to Dreamland concert hosted by David Byrne. I think it's stemming from the fact that the Arcade Fire tickets went on sale, and I completely failed to get a ticket. I'm sure you all have read about the fiasco involving Bowerypresents.com and Tickets.com, so I'm not going to go into it. But it did feel like a blow to my dreams when I was put into those "virtual waiting rooms" and then magically, everything was sold out. It was pretty shitty.
Anyway, I would say that I'll just go see Bryne's show on February 2, like I announced before, but I am indeed losing enthusiasm, and I'm starting to get filled with doubts. The concert is three weeks away. Work only pays me every two weeks, and I did not start working until this week. I'm starting to think that I don't have enough cash. I also don't know anything about getting a flight/bus, let alone getting a room at a hotel/motel/hostel. Last but not least, next Monday is when I start my next semester.
I know that if I keep going about things like this, I'll never amount to anything, but the logical part of my mind is telling me to just give up on going to see Byrne's show on the 2nd. Perhaps it'd make more sense to just keep saving money and have a better plan set up for when I know I can just go, and not interrupt school and work? I don't know.
I also never told anyone on here this, but I made probably the most insane New Year's Resolution I could. I made the resolution to not listen to anything for a month. The reasons behind this are plentiful - my music collection was starting to become ubiquitious to me, my ears have been bombarded with music nearly constantly for about 10 years, and I rely on music too much when it comes to putting my headphones on and ignoring everyone else in the world, for instance. So here I am, eleven days into this. I'm surprised myself that I've lasted this long, though the past couple days have been extremely tempting. Also, I may end it sooner than a month because on the 29th, Asobi Seksu is playing at the Grog Shop, and I'll be damned if I miss that show because of a silly resolution.
Also, TV on the Radio are coming in March. Definitely don't want to miss that either. They're playing at the Agora, which I have never been to.
I think that I'm going to start making posts that are more "intellectual" on my other LJ that I never post on. We'll see.
