(THIS ENTRY IS IN ALL CAPS TO DEMONSTRATE HOW PISSED I AM.)
WHY DOES EVERYTHING GO WRONG WHEN I GO TO BUY A TICKET TO A SHOW?!!!? AND IT'S NEVER ONE THING, IT'S A WHOLE FUCKING CHAIN REACTION.
INSTEAD OF WASTING $5 ON A PRE-PAID CREDIT CARD, I DECIDED TO DRIVE DOWN TO CAT'S TO MAKE MY PURCHASE. IT'S LIKE 15 MILES, NOT BAD, BUT NOT CONVENIENT EITHER. I GET THERE AND THE WHOLE FUCKING STORE IS OUT OF BUSINESS!!!! SO I HAVE TO TURN AROUND AND DRIVE ALL THE WAY PAST MY HOUSE AND GO THE OTHER DIRECTION ANOTHER 7 MILES TO GATLINBURG. SO I'M ALMOST THERE AND REALIZE IT'S FRIDAY. FUCK ME. I DROVE ON IN VAIN, JUST HOPING THERE'D BE A FREE SPOT TO PARK ALONG THE RIVER. IS THERE? OF COURSE NOT. AND TRAFFIC WAS SO FRUSTRATING THAT I JUST SAID FUCK IT AND WENT BACK TO KROGER TO BUY A CARD. I HAD SHOVED $60 IN MY POCKET SO I COULD GET A $30 TICKET (PLUS FEES) AND GET SOME DOG AND CAT FOOD. SO I END UP HAVING TO BUY A $50 GIFTCARD, LEAVING ME WITH NO MONEY TO BUY PET FOOD. SO I FINALLY GET HOME ALREADY PISSY. I LOOK UP THE CHEAP SEAT AND IT GIVES ME ROW "Y"!!! WHO THE HELL SITS IN ROW "Y", REALLY?? SO I'M LIKE FUCK IT, I ALREADY HAVE THE CARD, A $40 SEAT IS ALRIGHT. I PULL UP A DECENT ONE, ROW "C". I GO TO BUY IT AND DOES THE FUCKING CARD WORK???? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. I'M LIVID AT THIS POINT. BUT I KNOW SOME YOU CAN REGISTER, SO I GO TO THE SITE ON THE BACK OF THE CARD AND DO THE NAME/ADDRESS SHIT. SO I REVISIT MY ORDER AND TRY AGAIN. STILL THE SAME. I TRY LIKE 5 TIMES. NO GO. ALL THE WHILE, I'M CHECKING THE STATUS OF THE CARD ON THE SITE. EVERYTHING LOOKS GOOD, IT STATES "READY". I TEXT MY FRIEND IN KNOX TO ASK IF SHE WAS AT HOME, NO WORK. I'M LIKE FUCK WHAT DO I DO? I COUNT OUT MY REMAINING MONEY, WITH THE CHANGE FROM MY CARD PURCHASE, I JUST BARELY SQUEAK BY. SO I GET READY TO HIT THE PAVEMENT AGAIN AND DRIVE BACK TO GATLINBURG AND PAY TO PARK. BUT MY LAST DITCH EFFORT TO TRY THE ONLINE PURCHASE WORKED. FOR FUCKS SAKE, HALLELUJAH. I ENDED UP WITH ROW "D" 'CAUSE LIFE'S A CUNT. WHY DOES IT ALWAYS HAVE TO BE THIS HARD FOR ME? I NEVER HEAR ANYONE ELSE HAVE AS MUCH DIFFICULTY. DO I JUST HAVE A HIGHER FUCK UP RATE 'CAUSE I SEE SO MANY SHOWS?
SPEAKING OF, I DIDN'T EVEN GO INTO A RANT ABOUT THE 400LB WHITE TRASH MAN WHO SAT INFRONT OF ME AT THE OPERA. WTF, I JUST CAN'T GO THERE...
