And I'll admit, it was awesome. It was great to see PJ on back to back dates.
I wouldn't say I was gluttonous though. For me, it's how I chose to spend my time and money. It was my 'luxury' if you will. (And a damn fine one at that too)
That said, I haven't been to, or really gone on any formal 'vacations.' I don't smoke, I don't do drugs, I don't drive a nice car. All that stuff.... when I had money or when I saved money... it went to Pearl Jam. (which by the way, if you read some of my other posts is why sometimes I get upset at the 10C for the heinousness of some of the merch and prices, and shipping etc.)
That said...
This year, I'm going to one show. And am perfectly fine with that. If people want to travel the globe, see PJ 20 times a year. That's fine with me and I think it's awesome. If someone wants to attend one show. That's perfectly fine. If someone wants to not go to shows... but come on here and follow the setlists (:p) that's perfectly fine.
It's All Good.
Cheers

It is full of things "happy"
I am happy I have a job
I am happy that I am finally in a position in my life to be able to travel
I am happy I have a great wife who enjoys the same things I do
I am happy that I have the freedom to spend my hard earned money on whatever I damn choose
I am happy that most days, I dont get called a "toxic spoiled brat" for this
I got some lottery shows, but the others we are just happy to be in the building with everyone in this great community
I have met lots of people.. most of which would give you the shirt off their back if you needed it. spoiled? no..
generous, loving and understanding.. yes
Thanks guys for not succumbing to toxicity and rising above. My faith is now restored. This experiment is now over.
(But it is still a toxic hole on most days, no doubt about it)0
