a tragedy

i can't imagine the depth of loss ann must be feeling now. no, nobody/nothing died. except ann's chances of seeing u2 live for free in new york city. ann loves u2. she LOVES them. ever since we have been here, she has been talking about going to a u2 concert. and then, come to find out they gave free concerts yesterday only an hour away from us. oh, the tragedy! the injustice! [insert further lamentational exclamations here] it sucks. it just plain sucks that she didn't get to see them. i mean, 'that's a once on a lifetime thing'. i appreciate u2 as well and would have enjoyed seeing them but i am not as enamored with them as ann. my empathy stems from me imagining the eagles giving a free concert near to me and i miss it. you get a feeling in the pit of your stomach. like you completely missed something that would have changed your life. despair.

alas.
