Feeling a little like Joe Dirt!

Alright so have you ever been lost? Not just in a car and you took the wrong turn, but really lost somewhere and you have no way to contact anyone? Well lucky for me, that happened this weekend. At Lonestar park of all places, if you don't know what that is, it is the horse races. So let me take you on my journey to feeling so alone.

So this past week me and two really good friends of mine decided that we would go to the Eli Young Band concert, being hosted at Lonestar park. What we didn't know was that everyone plus their second cousin twice removed would be there. We were completely overwhelmed by the amount of people who showed up to watch ONE band perform. We knew a good number of people that were there already so we set out trying to find the best seat in the house. Well we noticed no one was writing back, and that is when we noticed none of our phones were working. It was like on New Years when everyone is trying to send Happy New Years text and the phone service gets backed up and the next day at like 3 you receive 80 more Happy New Years! I felt like this was maybe happening now. There were just so many people there and the majority of them were on their phones, that the system was just simply backed up. So we decided, well I guess being on the side of the stage is going to have to do. We tried to enjoy in the concert the best we could, but the combination of humidity, a mass number of people, the smell of alcohol and drugs just wasn't going to cut it.When luckily an old high school graduate of ours walked by, he told us to follow him, that everyone we knew was together. So we set out on a mission to find our friends, only problem was this kid walked at the speed of lightening, and there were at least 6 people in front of me, all of which were taller . So yes you called it this is where I got lost!

While we were walking I started to get this feeling like I was alone, and well I was. I stopped to see if I could see anyone I knew, and well that was a bust. I now had walked a good 50 yards alone. So I whip out my phone to try and call my friends, when I remembered, o ya my phone doesn't work. Wonderful, I don't know where I am, I don't know where my friends are, and the lesbian couple making out beside me was making me feel really uncomfortable. I felt awful, it was like everything was in slow motion. There I was, alone, in a sea of people, everyone walking past me, bumping into me, looking at me, people laughing, people talking, it was the most horrific feeling I have ever felt. At one point I looked up to the stars and thought really, why me, why do this to me. I was so freaked out and helpless I thought well maybe the North Star could guide me home, but we all know that wouldn't work in that situation, I was just helpless. I felt like Joe Dirt when his family left him at the Grand Canyon, just like that, a little boy with a mullet next to something enormous. For the first time in forever I really felt alone in the world.

So as I stood there I thought of what I should do, I could go back to the car, I could go back to where we were standing before, or I could have them call my friends over the intercom like they do for last children at Walmart. During all these thoughts I happened to turn slowly and wouldn't you believe it, my friend, she was on her phone, busting her way through the crowd, sweat dripping down her face, all for me. She ran to me, asked me what had happen, and I told her I was Joe Dirt!! I was so glad she came looking for me, I never had felt more relieved in my life.

I was lost for a good 20 to 30 minutes, enough time to think of every possible thing that could happen to me. I would like to blame Lonestar for allowing so many people in there, and my phone service, get your stuff together, so things like this doesn't happen again! We all decided it was a good time to leave before anything else happens to me! I love my friends, they are the absolute best! Thanks guys!

With love, Skylar
