You know that feeling when someone does something and you see it one way and that someone else sees it another? There is that weird disconnect between It Means A Lot and It’s No Big Deal? All night long I was stuck in the land of limbo.
First there was my JustFries man, making the trip to come hang out with me. Me, myself & moi! I invited. He accepted. Just like that. It was cool. When I thanked him for coming (because it meant a lot) he shrugged (like it was no big deal). No, really. It meant a lot. I want to join the Revolution and see you soon.
Then, there was the band. They weren’t even supposed to play. So what? I had driven over 2 hours to see them. So what? They didn’t owe silly me a performance. They could have turned around and driven back to wherever saying sorry! Your loss! Better luck next time! But, they found a place to play. And play they did. I loved Breakdown and Sympathy. They probably didn’t even get paid for their efforts but, but! But, they played as if they were each getting a cool mil. It was priceless to me.
Finally there was MrMissYou. My highlight of the night. I would have driven three times as far to hear a dedication like that. It may have meant nothing to you, but it meant the world to me.
I guess what I’m trying to say is that in the company of amazing people I find myself thinking I’m not just anyone. It’s no big deal to you or you or you, but it means everything to me.
There was only one other person I really missed that night. Maybe next time?

Join THE Revolution? I’m intrigued…..
I was puzzled by your intrigue so I decided to do a little research. I have to admit I am amazed at how overproduced and overused the word ‘revolution’ really is. I had no clue! Here’s a teeny, tiny example: since you are a history bufff I could have been talking about the British, Mexican, Russian, American, Haitian, Islamic, French… or even Industrial Revolution. Don’t forget the Daughters…I could have been talking about starting a revolution for the future – my own history in the making. In relation to sports I could have been referring to soccer, disc golf, dancing, baseball, skating, kite flying, kayaking, cycling, or even nintendo. In terms of products I could have longing for stencils, makeup, tea, pet medication, shoes, eyewear, or software. In music there are people like Tracy Chapman & O.A.R. and who could ever leave out the Beatles? Last, but certainly not least, I could have been talking about a place (most certainly not the Revolution Church). More like a bar, hotel, restaurant, city…something like that.
And here I was thinking about one band with a recent album named Revolution….forgive me for being so narrow minded.

Awww! You shouldn’t be so hard on yourself! I didn’t know you were into Howard Jones 😉
ps~ Can you tell I’ve discovered the joys of sarcasm?
And here I thought you were talking about joining a game of Dance Dance Revolution 🙂
Nooooo…but maybe I should. I heard that’s a great way to lose weight! I’m not coordinated enough, though! LOL
I could do it with you and it could be the most spaz-tastic rendition of Dance Dacne Revolution EVER!!!!
yeehaw, let’s do it! Life is too friggin’ short to be stuck in the mud!
You probably know and maybe might have blogged about how some librarians use Dance Dance Revolution face offs to see if people should pay late fines or not.
JustFries man sounds like an asshole
Dance Dance is such a great competition tool! Every library should consider such a face off to get back late books! 😉 Are you ready to dance!?
JustFries man may be an asshole but I love him dearly!
