Josh Dies (But I Wish School Would)

School just continues to relentlessly bust my bologna.  As you should all know by now, my favorite band in the entire world is Showbread.  The lead singer, Josh Dies, has been doing some solo stuff lately.  He’s even embarked on a solo book reading/acoustic song tour.  He’s going to read a bit from the book that he wrote as well as sing some acoustic versions of Showbread songs.  When I heard about this, I was pretty freaking exited.  Unfortunately, the only time he was going to be in Alabama was the day I was supposed to leave for school.  I found myself in quite the predicament.

I had planned on leaving for school on Saturday so I could wake up on Sunday and get everything prepared for class on Monday.  If I would have went to the show on Saturday instead of school, that means I’d be driving all day Sunday and wouldn’t have anything ready for school the next day.  Not to mention I’d probably still be exhausted.  It would take two hours to drive to the show, two hours to drive back, and then I’d have to get up the next day and drive a grueling eight hours.  As much as I wanted to go to the show, I didn’t like the sound of all that driving.  Instead of doing something really fun, I opted to be responsible and went to school instead.  It sucked, but I did it and I feel pretty good about my decision.  Who knows, maybe I’ll get to see Josh Dies in concert again.  Maybe he’ll have another tour when he releases his next book.  Plus, he does live here.  I’ve already seen him hanging out at the mall a few times so maybe I’ll run into him again.  Or maybe I’ll just be a creepy stalker like I was last time and follow him and his wife around the food court for a good hour and then be too much of a dork to go up and talk to him.

I suck.

But so does school, ruining my good times!  Gosh, how much more of my soul can this place take?  They already have all of my money and they’ve pretty much decimated any kind of happiness I’ve ever had and now they are trying to take away my fun times.  This has got to stop!  I only have a few more months left!  Hopefully I can make it out somewhat unbroken.  Heck, at this point, I’d just be happy to make it out alive.

I really wanted to go to that show.
