On Thursday, me, Beth, Dan, Mike, and Warren are going to see Josh Ritter in concert at the Magic Stick in Detroit. This will be the night that I show Josh that I love his music so much that I got a symbol of him tattooed onto my wrist forever. My starling tattoo is so beautiful; I love it.
There's always that moment of hesitation though -- today I thought, "Should I wear a long sleeved shirt and just not show him?"
And it seemed like an okay idea. And then I thought, no, asshole, because I don't want to have any regrets. One of my biggest regrets in life is that I never got to see Elliott Smith play live, and he never knew how important his music is to me. I like to think that somewhere, now, he knows, but it isn't the same as being able to say thank you. And I want Josh to know how deeply his music is ingrained into my life.
So no long sleeves for this starling.
That sounds like a poem.
