The Things We Do For Love
Feb. 7th, 2015 05:06 pmThis happened a couple of months ago, and I even wrote a post about it at the time, but didn't get around to posting it until now.
Mike's a big fan of heavy metal and I'm not. I've pretty much known that from the start about his interest in it. Heavy metal is one of those types of music, like jazz and classical, that you'd be hard pressed to find a song that I'd enjoy - though it's not impossible every once in awhile. But we like a lot of the same kind of music, too so it's not really a big deal.
Mike heard about this concert with Insane Clown Posse and other metal bands. He wasn't sure if it'd be something he could do. He had always complained that he couldn't get to do fun things like concerts because most of them take place on the weekends, and he's always working then. The concert was on a Tuesday.
The timing sucked because he used to have Tuesdays and Wednesdays off, for years but a few months ago his days off changed to Mondays and Thursdays. So he still wasn't sure if we could go. But I told him if he really wanted to, he could just take some time off. It wasn't really great timing with the wedding coming up, and needing as many days off as possible, but he hardly ever gets to do enjoyable things so I thought he deserved it. So he decided to take the day of the concert and the day after off because it would be a long drive and he knew he wouldn't get much sleep for work the next day.
