Drinking a 22 ingredient bloody Mary on the beach in oceanside. 21 ingredients plus a lot of love. Nada surf on the jukebox. Life is pretty fucking sweet sometimes.

Dejected. Ripped off. Whatever the worst synonym for disappointed is. Jealous. ....... and somehow happy for those who made it to the last 2 shows - and those who will be at the next FIVE.
You see, I was supposed to be at the last 2 and the next 5. I lined up a sweet 10 club reserved seat for Phoenix and had ticketmasters the next 3. Then came my 3 - 10 club lotto winning shows. But a "clerical" error prevented 2 warrants for charges that were withdrawn to remain outstanding. This led to my entry into the US being denied, even as I stood with the court transcript that proved my innocence in my hands. US Customs could not allow my entry, that would be harboring a wanted man. and yet they needed closure on my file before they could turn me over the RCMP. So they had to deny my entry, which is a very binding or permanent decision. Now I need to seek a pardon (for a crime that was never committed) which is just one step on the path to obtaining a criminal waiver - a process I'm told should take about a year - before I can even board a plane that has a US transfer to somewhere else. I'm out at least $2000, not including time off work with nothing to do, during the coldest stretch of our winter so far. And I can't help but to check out the setlists I should have been witnessing or even relaying to those living vicariously through this board. Seeing them get better and better. And longer. And more special. And I know this will just keep happening, each one better than the last. At first, I'm angered. Then sad. Then jealous. Then a little glad for those who were there. Then I smile, and then laugh. And I say keep it coming boys. Out-do yourselves just a little each show. And then I get excited because I know. I know that after these next 5 shows I will BE THERE to see them in Calgary, and then Vancouver. I will see them. And they will see me. Of this I am sure. Another thing I am sure of is that by the third or forth song in calgary, I will be weeping tears of joy as bad or worse than the first time I saw them.
So I say keep playing those rarities. Play for 3-1/2hrs. Fuck - make it 4. Because I know you just keep getting better. The whole tour may be a rehearsal for Seatle, but I'll be there for the last 2 rehearsals. So lets do this. The waiting's made me mad!!

Oh man, so hungover and at work.... My eyes are so red it's really not even appropriate for me to be in the office, and Visine doesn't seem to be working at all. :fp: NIN show was amazing though!!!!!! :thumbup:

That specific kind of melancholy you get after an amazing trip and you realize that in 20 minutes you are boarding a plane that takes you back to the reality of your boring, mundane, existence???
Yeah....
That.....

That's a rough one. Fortunately, the intensity of that negative feeling usually lessens. Still sorry that's where you are right now.
