I am literally breathing the same air of the rich and famous.

The 7 Stages Of Going To A Concert, Told By The Fabulous Brendon Urie

It's the start of the new year which means new music and fun times. I for one have many concerts lined up because of outrageous spending for the win out here. In February, I'm going to New Orleans to see Panic! At The Disco. When I first went two years I ago, I went through some rigorous seven stages that all people go through when seeing their favorite musical artist live.

Here it is pictured by the fabulous Brendon Urie.

Denial

So, you just dropped some moneybags on concert tickets. At the moment, there's a little hype, but if you're like me, you probably bought them 8 months ago, so when the day of the concert comes rolling, you're probably like: OH! I'm actually going to "XYZ" no freaking way!

Anticipation

Now, you're probably doing your make-up or getting ready, jamming out to every song of this artist possible, and you hop into your car. For my non-city people, the drive to the city is insane. You've got your traffic on the highway, and that one guy who thinks that going under the speed limit is a great idea at the moment. Stage 2 is this finger-tapping, low-key anxious side that something will happen to prevent you from going to the concert. WAIT! Sis, you are going to get there fine.

Forever Lines

The door to the venue hasn't opened yet, but there you are standing in line F-O-R-E-V-E-R it seems. It's the feeling that you are there, but you're not really there because there are just other girls and guys waiting too. You might strangle a person or two. Stage 3 is necessary however for Stage 4 transition.

Shock

The doors just opened. It's like a bull herd to the door. Every man for oneself. I hope you printed your ticket out because everyone is trying to get on that cellphone network to open up their ticket too. Then it hits you. You are inside the venue; you are breathing the same air as them. Then the artist opening for your fav says they just performed their last song. Stage 4 is just the build-up for that Stage 5 climax.

Your favorite artist just came on stage. They are popping and jamming, and it just a really good time. You forget about the stress of college and life, and it just you, them, and the music. It's because of Stage 5 we can make it through the awkward first 4.

Ending

media.giphy.com

It's been a couple of hours, and the energy is slowly winding down. It's the beginning to the end. As much as you don't want to let the artist go, you know any second they are going to announce it's their last song for the night. Then they will sing it, and they will disappear from the stage, and all have returned normal.

Remembering it all

media.giphy.com

You're heading home, and you're sitting in the car remembering it all. How close you were to them, how you could feel the driving force of music, and it's all so surreal. You have video proof that you were there, the picture that you share on social media, but it somehow feels all too real, but it's not the same as stage 1 denial. There is more peace in this last page.

I hope everyone has a wonderful start to the New Years, and I hope you get to go to as many concerts as you would like this year.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
