I wrote this back in March 2005:
a) There was Maroon 5 in March. Which at the time I got the tickets I was so excited to get to see Adam perform live, that when it eventually happened I was unemployed and going through the “senseless” phase, that I really didn’t have time and heart to take it in. Now, I have to wait at least a couple of years before that happens again.
Now, Maroon 5 is back in town tomorrow and I have decided not to go. I promised myself when I went to that concert in 2005 as you can see above, that the next one, if I am employed (which thankfully I am) I shall enjoy it to fullest, scream out my lungs and just enjoy the heck out of it. But I have decided not to go and I waited 2 and a half years for the next one to happen. Why am I not going, oh me advocate of "live life now"? I have looked at the tickets lots of times, one time I even got 6th row seats off Ticketmaster. I just cannot afford it. It will cost me $65 to go, not counting gas and the occasional beer. Small price to pay for a feat I have waited this long to conquer. But I can think of so many things I need to do with $65 that spending on a concert just doesn't seem like such a good idea. I really don't know what's come over me. Between the vacation in April and moving apartments, I am financially tapped out. This coupled with selling my RHCP tickets around this time last year, just shows how much of a non-fan I am. So far it's been a boring year. Good boring, no turbulent job changes (knock on wood) exciting, and asides from my whirlwind week in Las Vegas and SF in April, nothing monumental has occurred this year. If I were to do a 2007 recap, it will be a paragraph long. Travelled in April, changed jobs of my own will and apartments. Now live a mile and half from work in a studio loft. End recap. Sad, isn't it?
