sacrifice
sometimes you sacrifice something you really really enjoy and need in exchange for something that ends up being better than the aforementioned something. think im going somewhere deep with this? not really.
last nite i sacrificed a love of mine *sleep* for another love *music*. with these EARLY work hours (getting up at 545AM) im having to adjust to, my bedtime has changed a bit as well (need to be in bed by 10, but not ashamed to be in by 930). yeah, i have the bedtime of a 4th grader. and i eat lunches consisting of pb&j sandwiches..what is going on?
but last nite it was about sacrifice. i went to a show that didn't start till about 9 but it was worth it. opening act, ronnie day, was not too great. maybe great to some but not really my cup o tea. all of his songs started out the exact same way, his filler in b/w songs was awkward and not entertaining, and every song had to do with some girl named jamie that evidently broke his heart, kicked it around, and then stepped on it.
next guy, kyle riabko. pretty dang good. young kid. makes some crazy facial expressions. maybe has the skinniest arms ever for a guy his age. but give him a guitar and he tears it up.
final act. stephen kellogg and his band called the sixers. saw them early this year when they opened for pat mcgee. i knew their music before that show and was thoroughly entertained by the show then. wasn't let down this time either. they did a lot of the same stuff - a long yet humorous cover song medley, a couple songs acoustic style, some odd water bottle drink off, and yet again, the bass player (who is crazy) took his clothes off and danced in his boxer briefs. stephen is also a funny guy with dry humor and clever wit which fills in nicely between songs. and despite a lot of similarities to the last show i saw, it was still a really great show. so i guess that's just a reflection of their level of performance.
so all to say...im still a fan, if not even moreso now. was it worth only getting 5 hrs of sleep and being a wee bit tired today at work?
definitely.
