Joy, Extreme Joy....and a bit of good ole RANTING!!!
Here we are, halfway through October...
Thursday night I went with Austen to the Wilco concert...
Plans change, and this event almost didn't get off the ground, but my girlfriend bailed out my little sis, who was supposed to go and ditched me, and the trip eventually went off without a hitch.
The tickets, as I believe I stated before, were free because I called in a favor. It was a charity event for Riley Hospital (that raised 210 grand by the way) and I know enough people there, and well, the tickets were incredible: four feet from the stage, DEAD CENTER.
My favorite band from that close....and Jeff and John kept looking at us, because we were the only ones in like a sixty foot radius that knew ALL the words to EVERY song! Incredible. I've read in several interviews that the Band (and in particular Jeff) believe that the listener/audience is half of the music, because of the interpretation and emotion that they bring....I would like to think that they were getting good vibes from us, because we were picking them up all night...
Then comes the ranting...
I am absolutely disgusted by the fact that people cannot, or refuse for that matter, to act like adults. I do not feel that I have unrealistic expectations for others: Be personally responsible, and be honest. Thats it!
Is this unrealistic? Example: I've done alot of fucked-up things in my life...but they are mine, and I take full responsibility for my actions, or inaction. Would I have graduated last fall if I had tried a bit harder? Yes, and it is only my own fault that I am sitting, bored to death, at my parents.
RESPONSIBILITY
Shoutin out to tremere....you get it, right??
Perhaps I have been to comfortable. I expect others to be able to take brutal honesty and criticism because I can take it. Perhaps they can't, and it is not my responsibility to make them...no matter how much I care about them. This goes for all of my personal relationships. Its reevaluating time to be sure.
Anybody scared? Pissed off?? Annoyed???
These were not my intent, but as I am beginning to realize intent is really never put into place correctly.
These are my mistakes...so if I have hurt anyone I am sorry....trust me, it will not happen again.
Sorry this is so long...been a long time since I felt like writing anything...this is nice motivation.
Flame away if you want...that could be fun as well...and I know I can take the criticism.
Thanks for reading to the end...aren't you disappointed?
