I Got Better Things To Do...

It's a brighter day than ever before
'Cause I don't think aboutchya no more.
I got better things to do than remember you.

me. funkalicious chic
soulful side-kick? vacancy
gig. Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings
say what? Show starts at 7:30PM. I buy my single ticket at 7:35PM and rock out for 3 hours.
why? Because I gots ta!


Annoyed by work, relationships, flatmates and that hum drum nature of everyday life, I decided to break out of the cookie-cutter mould and head to the Barbican concert hall. I'd never gone to a concert alone, but jazzing up a random Wednesday night was what I needed in my life! A defiant release of pent up angst came in the form of dance and song for me. Momentarily beaten down by the social obligation that was my life, I sought inspiration through the chorus of Ms. Jones. It's clear she's a woman that you don't mess with. I need a little more of that gritty edge in my swagger ;). 

I surprised myself that night because I was not chagrined in the least by my solo state. Perhaps I'm coming into my own after all.
