10~JT Concert

*This is technically yesterday's post in the 30-day count, so I get to write two today. :)

Last night was the Justin Timberlake concert in Tulsa!  So much fun!!  Tiffany and I had an early dinner at Hideaway, then got to the BOK Center an hour before it started.  SO freaking cold outside!  When we got in, we accidentally walked around the entire building (literally) to finally get to our seats, so that warmed us back up. lol  

I had a really great time hanging out and getting to know Tiffany - she was the first in my women's group to excitedly speak up when I said I was looking for someone to attend that concert with me, but we'd never hung out outside of group before.  I'm thinking that will happen much more often now! :)

I'm glad/thankful I decided not to sell the tickets!

We ran into the Fosters (Jon and Kristin) on our pointless walk around the building, so that was fun!
Kristin:   "I really feel like he's this generation's Michael Jackson!"
Jon:  "Minus the ethnicity confusion." :)

The concert lasted till midnight and was a really good mix of a lot of his older songs and new album, so I got to sing along more than I'd expected!  He's cute and charismatic and playfully arrogant in a way I love... and the man can dance, which is awesome!  (However, the topless girls on the massive screen behind him and the fact that he used the F word about 50 times through the night were not so awesome.  I still want to think of him as the precious little JT from N'Sync, but no.)

Truth be told, some of the cussing was a little funny to me.  But if I'd had a young teenager there, I'd have been pretty upset about it.  Anyway, he ended with Mirrors, which was perfect! :)

{What Goes Around Comes Around by JT}

"Don't want to think about; don't want to talk about it.  I'm just so sick about it.  Can't believe it's ending this way.  Just so confused about it, singing the blues about it.  I just can't do without you. Tell me is this fair? Is this the way it's really going down? Is this how we say goodbye!? It's okay, baby, 'cause in time, you will find what goes around comes around, goes around comes all the way back around."

The whole audience (me included, obviously) connected with those lyrics and with Cry Me a River, and seeing that made me strangely happy.  No one is immune from rejection-induced heartbreak -- not even the pretty people or the strong people who seem to have it all together.  It's nice to be reminded that everyone goes through this crap, dealing with rejection and the plethora of emotions that come with it.  It's a common thread that 90+ percent of people will connect with, which makes me feel better right now... and it's great news for my future book on that subject! =)

Anyway, yay for fun concerts and new friendships!
