While I was driving to my second job yesterday, I was thinking about addiction. I know I am addicted to nicotine and maybe alcohol. I drink alot but I don't really think it's an addiction except in public. I can't be a DD because when I see everyone else drinking having a good time, I want to too. But by myself I don't have to have a drink, like I have to have a cigarette. I thought that was it, then I started to wonder if I was actually addicted to going to concerts. The past year since the ex left I have been to a shit load. Here's a break down.
With ex(in 4 years):
Korn/Staind
Godsmack/Staind
Slipknot/Fear Factory/Chamira
After ex(in 8 months):
HFStival bands I saw: O.A.R./Yellowcard/Lostprophets/Yeah Yeah Yeahs/Cypress Hill/Violent Femmes/New Found Glory/P.O.D./Jay-Z/The Offspring/The Cure
Otep/Kittie
The Hives/Sahara Hotnights
Gwar/Mensrea
Marilyn Manson/Slunt
Arcade Fire/Final Fantasy
Ash/The Bravery
Ambulance LTD
Hawthorene Heights/Sugarcult
....I think there's more I'll check my ticket stub collection when I get home.
and next month I already have tickets for Garbage, Bloc Party, The Kills.
Does that count as an addiction? At least 9 concerts in 8 months, that's more than I a month, and many more to come.

It's a good kind of addiction, though, isn't it? Like being addicted to running or celery. Except you'll start to lose your hearing. All the better to help drown the world away.
Holy shit, you do still check my blog. I don't agree about the running or celery but yes concerts are a good addiction. At least when you have enough money for it, I am slowly being drained. It is like it's a different world. For a few hours you are in the music's world. You feel it and the bands feelings. It is awesome.
I am not a big concert fan, but I am with canowine atleast it is a good addiction, right?
Plus when funds are low you can see the smaller bands that will one day make it big and you can be THAT GUY that says oh yeah I saw them back in 05 before they were famous...
So true, Branshine, and those small low-cost ones are the closest you'll ever get to some bands, while they're not overplayed and on MTV yet. Like the bloc party!! RC, you are doing the right thing by taking advantage of those frequent low-cost shows while you're here.
