Great Expectations

In a post several weeks ago I mentioned my upcoming attendance at Michael Feldman's "Whad'YaKnow?" in town here in Indy. I went to the show last Saturday, and was fairly disappointed. I found myself feeling depressed during the show, and tried to analyze these seemingly inappropriate emotions. Then, with shame, I realized that I had not merely hoped to be on the quiz, but I had actually expected it! When it became clear that I would not have my moment in the sun, I suddenly lost most of my interest in the show. Also because the local band they highlighted, Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band, really sucked. I also felt annoyed by the people who were actually chosen to speak on air--they mostly seemed like attention-seeking idiots--unlike myself, of course!

I learned a little about myself in this episode of my life. When I build up my expectations to an insupportable height, I'm going to be disappointed. Also I can be pretty damn immature! Or should I say "big damn" immature?

    You are a fucking retard. I was at that show. It was hilarious and the band was awesome. Maybe it is time to just kill yourself.

    What would you have preferred?

  2. Hmmm.. I wonder if you were one of the contestants or a band member. Just a little touchy! Everyone is entitled to thir own opinion, especially on their own blog.

    I am entitled to my opinion too. My guess is the band and the show's hilarious crew do not have time to look at ridiculous blogs. I was bored, I thought you were full of crap, and I spoke my mind too.

    You are full of crap by the way. Why the negativity? Don't really kill yourself. I feel bad for typing that. It would suck if some self loathing misanthrope offed themselves because of a blog comment I made.

    My guess is the contestants, crew, and bands do not have time to comment on ridiculous blogs. I had an opinion too, and I stated it. Why are you so touchy? You post a public comment, and then get on me for making a comment.

    Seriously don't kill yourself though. I would feel really bad if some self-loathing misanthrope offed themselves because of a blog comment I made.

    I paid money, looked forward to the show, and I loved everything about it. The meet and greet afterward was great too.

  5. Anonymous, you're completely off the mark--I am no misanthrope!I generally love the show(see my previous posting on it), and was disappointed in that one as an exception. I was also briefly at the meet and greet, and enjoyed talking to the pianist.
