Wow, do I feel weird. LL Cool J is playing tonight [update: I'm an idiot... LL will be here on July 2, not June 2... which sort of takes care of the decision for me, now doesn't it] in the casino, but I'm not even begging anybody to go... and when I search my emotions for why I'm not begging to go, the only thing I come up with is fear. I haven't had this kind of fear in a really long time. And I'm trying to tell myself that it's fear of the unknown. But honestly, I think it has more to do with fear of the kids who I know... I just know will be there.
Kids. I'm afraid of these kids.
My adolescent response to this is to say “Hell, I'm not afraid of those kids,” and plop down fifty bucks to see LL.
But then I'm like, “Fifty Bucks! Damn. I saw Prince at the Tacoma Dome in '85 for twenty-five.”
Oh. There it is. I'm getting old.
