A look behind my eyes

We all have one of those friends. You know the one that makes plans then doesn’t answer their phone when it’s time to actually go through with those plans if they changed their minds.

I was really excited about going to the Ashers and Street Dogs concert like I told you about. This friend was the only one willing to travel to Kentucky with me on a work night. I was really excited and actually never thought for a moment that he would flake on me. It’s not that I mind doing things by myself, but driving two hours to a bar that I have never been to in another state was not something I really wanted to do.

So when Tuesday morning arrived and I was gleefully driving to work in anticipation of the end of the day and heading to what I expected to be a great concert. I knew there was trouble afoot when my phone rang. It was my friend just calling to let me know that he was sick but that he was still planning on coming to the concert with me. I hung up the phone, trying to keep up my good mood, but with a bit of worry placed directly in the pit of my stomach.

I spent the entire rest of the day thinking about what the night had in store and trying to block out the slightly nagging voice in the back of my head telling me that I would end up going to this show alone. At 1:45 I decided to put my fears to rest and text him to let him know what time I would be at his house. 2:00...2:30...3:00... no reply. By 3:30, I just couldn’t take it anymore and gave him a call. No answer. By this time, my fears had grown into a loud yell and I began to face the fact I would be going it alone.

And just like that, at 3:58 my phone rings. My friend, my wonderful good-sport friend, had kept his word and through utter sickness was waiting for me to get to his place so we can head to the concert. See kiddies, not every story has a sad ending!

Anyway, the concert was great and I will post my review in the next day or two. Unfortunately, I’ve managed to get sick myself and will be heading to bed as soon as I get home so I will be missing the Dropkick Murphys concert tonight.
