Moral Dilemma

OK, so I have a problem. I just realized that everyone's favorite band on this board is playing about 15 min away from my house on June 26th. So, since I have off that day from work, and I haven't planned any concerts yet this summer, it should be a great way to start off. Two problems, though. The first: NBA draft is also on June 26th, and I REALLY want to see it (been waiting for it for months). I guess I could tape it, but it's not the same. Also, I have seen Nine Days twice already (once for free). The second problem: I have no friends to go with (the whole "graduate from college, everyone moves away" phenomenon), and my girlfriend probably won't want to go. This decision will take a few days...

so who want's to bitch slap him first???

ARE YOU MENTALLY ILL?!?!

Or do you just come off that way?

no matter what I do
all I think about is you

all I ever think about is you

i, personally, wouldn't go to a concert alone.

why won't your girlfriend go.

lay the guilt on, man

and the NBA draft lasts like 28 hours anyway, so you can still catch most of it

Go listen to my band. We're awesome.

Yeahh man.. you can do it all.. tell her to go like she makes you go to stuff



I absolutely love her when she smiles

*twitch*hell, make a parent go. make a busdriver go. go with *someone*. concerts alone suck. but what sucks even more is NINEDAYS IS FIFTEEN MINUTES AWAY and you're thinking about not going. ninedays is almost always 2 states away from me.
i have matches, if we want to burn him.

you were like a phonebooth that i somehow stumbled into
now look at me, i'm just like everybody else.

go by yourself...be independent. Meet people.

I stopped dragging my friends to ninedays shows years ago. If they want to go they can otherwise I'll go by myself. I met some cool people that way.

you wont go to a concert alone?


Thats a shame....there is nobody there to piss you off...do what you want when you want to..


Learn to appreciate what you have..and dont be so worried about what people think!!!

NBA draft should be kinda interesting this year, after the first 3 picks, of course. But seriously, man, what could be so intriguing that'll happen on TV that you can't just read about in the papers the next day? You want to see the pretend shock on LeBron's face when Cleveland picks him? Or the thousands of Illini who are going to murder someone if the Lakers take Brian Cook? (one guy called him the next Robert Horry!!! bastard!!) Anyway, this isn't a basketball forum, so I'll stop.

Bottom line: go to the concert if you can find someone. I can't see how concerts can be fun by yourself. Then again, I've never been to any concert, alone or with others.

Well I suggest going alone, then again I always end up ditching the people I am with and end up chillin with people I meet there. It is what you make of it, so record the damn draft and go to the damn concert.

No, Lou no one you know ; )

Well, this topic has taken on a whole new meaning for me. The "girlfriend" that didn't want to go...well, she wants to go now, but as "friends." Yes, that's right, I have a little magic trick to show everyone (try to visualize it in your head):

I'm holding 2 years in my right hand....now I'm waving my hands around in complex gestures...and...POOF! Gone...the 2 years can no longer be found. But wait...what's that behind your ear there? Oh, look at that, it's just Greg's heart, lodged deeply in the pit of his stomach. Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, and for my next trick, I'm going to cut a woman in half...

Ok, ok....I know I was going a little far at the end. I'm trying to lighten the situation for myself, so I sincerely apologize to all of you, who I really do not know at all, for subjecting you all to me. Anyway, I've been ok the last few days...I think was sucked the most was feeling like I lost my only friend, too (the whole post-college phenomenon: after graduation, everyone parts ways). But I reached out to some of my closest friends (both location-wise and friendship-wise), and they have allowed me to lean on them for the time being. Anyway, moral of the story is, "she" called me last night, and wanted to know if I still wanted to go to the Nine Days concert as friends...I guilt tripped her about a lot of stuff I haven't repeated here, and then agreed to go. We'll see how it goes...I'm more concerned with healing than having a friendship with her, so if "hanging out" prevents the healing process, then I told her we can't do stuff like this in the future.

Sorry for the long, depressing post. Hope everyone else is doing well.

Just look for the beer stand when you get there....Beer makes everything better...LOL

*pets*
girls suck.

Well, I didn't need the beer, and I think everything is going to be ok. Not that we're back together (pretty certain we won't be), but I have achieved peace in my heart (how's THAT for being corny!). Seriously, Nine Days was a good decision, and we actually had fun at the fair. Now its time for me to find out what happened with the Draft...

Ha...yeah, I wish it was that easy...

dude...you know what Id do....id like stalk her....dont talk to her for months....and in that time....dont call her....email her...both postal service and internet wise. instant message....or hop in ur car and drive to a unknown place since u dont know nor care where the hell shes at. u should do that. now how is that stalking ur prolly asking urself.......im asking the same exact thing. note: (last comment on it...just had to be a smartass) im out

So he's done that before



I absolutely love her when she smiles

that was messed up. i think i've been stalked, if that was stalking.
most people call that 'ignoring' though.

"Ignoring" might be the only method of not being "used," sad as it is to say.

they are 15 mins from you and you are not going??

are you nuts

if they played 15 mins from me i would die

they have not even played 15 hours by plane from me yet!!

go by yourself you alwasys meet new people at concerts - you already have one thing in common - most of my friends i met at concerts

clare love, he went to the show, and with his "friend", he's not too crazy.

Thanks, Madonna.
