I understand how the gold miners felt during the gold rush, swishing their pans about, staring at dirt for ages, moving their spot a pace to the left, starting all over again. Then finally finding the jackpot in their pans, oh sweet gold, only to spend it on loose women and booze instead of like... bread and turnips for their starving families dying from Australian heat.
I'm supposed to be responsible with money now, I pay rent and I pay my own uni fees and other basic necessities. It helps I worked for 9 hours on a public holiday, because I ended up earning what could only be described as a small fortune.
HOWEVER, I am very close to blowing this small fortune because all these fucking bands I want to see are coming to Australia.
Elbow - (I have to see them, there is no question about it.)
Kaiser Chiefs - (They hold a special place in my heart, next to Blur and The Kinks, haha)
Ben Kweller - (Dude, no explanation needed, surely?)
My thought process is that because I earned that small fortune, by buying these tickets it'll be fine because it's just cutting my money back to the regular wage I get, possibly slightly more than the regular wage even. And what is the point in saving if you finally have all this money and nothing to spend it on?
Ok that last one was quite weak, but it will do for me. I must be off now to buy pre-sale Elbow tickets.
EDIT: OMG Primeminister Rudd-man has totally fixed everything by giving me heaps of ticket money! Thanks Rudders!
