No Doubt

Wednesday night I ended up at the No Doubt concert with some girlfriends. (As in Gwen Stefani and hits like "Don't Speak", "Just a Girl" and "Hey Baby.")

It was SO much fun. However, throughout the night, I noticed that I vacillated wildly between feeling really young and really old. So here goes:


Things that made me feel really YOUNG at the No Doubt concert:
- My presence at the concert was very last minute. Spontaneity (= young)
- I was both singing and screaming at the top of my lungs (= young)
- I was dancing, outside, on a Wednesday night (= young)
- I went to bed that night with my ears ringing (= young)


Things that made me feel really OLD at the No Doubt concert:
-When the crowd was screaming for an encore, I covered my ears - it was SO loud. (= old)
-I had a somewhat lengthy conversation with one of my friends about how teenagers really don't get how much adults sacrifice for them. (= old)
-My back hurt by the end of the night - all that standing! (= old)
-One of my girlfriends was having hot flashes throughout the night. (= WAY old)


So, if half of the night made me feel young and half of the night made me feel old, what exactly AM I???

I think the hot flashes goes in the neutral category since it wasn't YOU having the flashes!

No doubt, it sounds like you had a great time (both the old fart in you and the young wipper snapper side of your self).

You are one CRAZY ma ma!!! I need you closer so that I can go with someone to concerts like that! You're too much fun!

No doubt, you're old.

Both...that is what is means to be almost middle aged! The good thing is that you are still young enough to go. It sounds like a lot of fun!

No Doubt is one of my favorite groups. Unfortunately the last concert I went to of theirs (April 1996) was the concert I ran into my then boyfriend and the skank he was cheating on me with...all during the song "Don't Speak"...I still love the group and would have been right there with you probably feeling mostly old though.

how about you are in the prime of your life....young enough to enjoy it and old enough to appreciate it!
