The 13 Stages of Attending a Concert
thenextweb.com

Any concert goer can agree with one thing, there are several different emotions that come with attending a live show. Whether it's for a big artist or a small hometown band, if you're a fan, you know how it feels before, during, and after that show. The average person goes through so many emotions when it comes to a concert, especially if they are seeing is their favorite artist or band. There are a few stages of "the feels" that we, music lovers, go through upon attending a show. Here are 13 feelings we all feel.

1. The utter excitement that comes when you get your tickets.

Yes! This show is probably going to be sold out and I am going. (Sorry bank account!)

2. The agonizing pain of waiting.

It's December and the show is in August. I may die before then.

3. Listening to that artist/band nonstop until the show.

I've already listened to this album hundreds of times, but now I'm going to see them live so I have to listen to it every single day.

5. The night before the concert.

Oh my god, I probably won't sleep. The anticipation is killing me.

6. Waiting in line.

You're excited for about 5 minutes until you realize you have a handful of hours left of waiting – and you already know it's going to be hell.

7. Getting into the venue.

Once your ticket gets scanned you run like hell to that stage, making damn sure you're pressed right up against that barricade.

8. Wanting to slaughter the people trying to move you.

You better take your elbow out of my rib-cage if you know what's good for you.

9. When your fave comes on.

Oh yes, it's happening and I am here. This is what I have been waiting for all of my life.

10. Pure joy of being in the moment with your favorite artist or band.

This is probably the happiest moment of my life

11. The feeling of utter panic as you try to leave once it's over.

Where are my friends? Am I even going the right way?

12. Post Concert Depression (PCD).

Oh, it's so real and the pain is unbearable. The only thing you have to do now is look at pictures and watch videos from the show.

13. The happy or sad feeling of knowing they'll tour again.

Another waiting game, who knows how long it'll be?

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.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.
