I went to see Queensryche tonight (well… last night technically, it was on Friday). My friend’s band, Kickin Valentina, opened for them! It was an awesome show and it was wonderful to see my friend succeeding at making his dreams come true!!!
I also got to see another old friend for a few minutes and catch up a little. That was actually the best part of my night. I hadn’t seen him in about 8 years. He is married now. It seems like all of my (male) friends are married now. I’m happy for all of them, but it kinda makes me feel …like I am the only one not getting married. It’s not like I didn’t have my chances. I completely just gave up even bothering with the whole dating thing about three years ago and I’ve never looked back. I don’t have time for it anyway. I work way too much these days for a relationship. That is what I have been telling myself anyway. To everything there is a season…
I’m very glad I had gotten to see Queensryche previously. It was a different experience this time. They were still amazing but the show was less theatrical than it had been on the tour I saw in Nashville in 2006. This was more of a traditional concert experience. I have no doubt about the relevance of each experience to my life situation at the time. Jaded as I have become, it’s important to me to be able to reweave the fabric of time and space together. Doing so creates meaning for the spaces in between. I’m thankful for the opportunity to have done that tonight.
Geoff made some comments that resonated with the part of me that has been yearning for my (spiritual and creative) muses to return to my life. May this resonance help their approach.
