Lawful possession of illegitimate friends

Yes, yes, I have nothing to say today. Why? Why not. I got these tickets to the Iron Maiden show. Fuck yeah. I also have nobody to go with. Fuck yeah. I prefer to go alone anyway, but in this case I was overly zealous about friendships so I bought two tickets. "Great," I thought, "we are good friends afterall." This I thought, as I made sure to invite only someone who I thought had what it takes to follow through. I think you see where this is going. The concert is tomorrow, the call came this morning. Actually I made the call. "Can't go because I put a down payment on a $39,000 dollar house in Jamestown, ND 58401. My future wife, I thought she was going to pitch in, but I was wrong. Hence, our life begins. I only have $20. But really, what did I expect, she lived with me free of charge for a year." I have to say, I had given the boy too much credit all along. Two things to take from this: 1) call someone at least before they buy the fucking tickets (2 weeks ago) if you're going to jump ship, and 2) never trust the needle (it lies) (always a good tip), 3) tell me the truth about why you don't want to go, not some lame excuse about how you can't go. Oh, and also 4) try not to be so transparent about your boring excuses. Be a convincing flake if you're going to be one. Anyway, I have an extra ticket, paid for by said friend. Anyone who wants to go can show up at my door at 7:00 am tomorrow, no questions asked. Don't bother promising to come beforehand, as that's simply a waste of our time.
