Unlucky Fan
Many people like me have their highs and lows in life. Meanings that you have some days are lucky and some days are unlucky thought out your life. In my opinion, that just life and you have to deal with it. For me, these past six months I have my biggest high and biggest low because I thought I was the lucky fan in the world. Let start back last October one of my best and lucky day of my life.
It stated any normal Saturday morning. I got out bed, ate breakfast, got dress and when to work. It was normal workday. So I got of work early and headed home. But, I my way home where was my luck charge. I turn on my favorite radio station Z100 and they were announcing that if you were called hundred you will win lady gaga tickets. I have to called and give it a chance because am ready big lady gaga fan and had to win. So I called three time and the phone was busy. so I stop because I saw a cop car and I didn’t want the cop see me on my cell phone while driving. Then I pass the cop and started calling again. It was ringing. In my head I was oh my god I might win. Then someone stoke and said, “you won”. I couldn’t believe it. I thought this was a joke. Then a few minutes later on was on the radio; then I knew is was for real. I was in shock on my way home. I had tell everybody I won tickets on the radio. Then I called my cousin on the phone and tell him the great news because he is a big lady gaga fan too. He was shock too. This was the lucky day of my life. I felt I was the lucky fan alive.
Months pass: its January; I got a phone call from Z100 radio station tell me that I have to pick of the tickets at there station in New York. I was so relieved to get the call and to pick them because it was a great excuse to go to the city and see if is really is real. While, I had doubts because they didn’t called for months and I was worry I was scamp. I even had a nightmare that I forget to pick up the tickets and I didn’t go. Thank god it was just a dream.
My cousin and me decided to go together to pick the up the tickets . we took the train to grand central and got cab to the station address. When I got there I told the front desk, why we were here. They told me to wait here; they will bring your tickets down. We waited in the lobby for half a hour. Finally, some people from the radio staff let me sign some papers and handed me the tickets. They said, “congratulation”. then I was thank you and we left. We agreed to take the subway back to grand central. I was protecting these tickets with my life; like a mother bear protect her club; thought out the ride on the subway. When we got home the first thing I did was pin the tickets on my pin board in my room and just stare at them and couldn’t wait to go.
Now its February two weeks until the concert on march 6, I was thinking of ideas of what to wear, what should I bring, and how to get there. It was so close I can taste it. So, later that day on was on twitter and there many tweets saying that Lady Gaga cancelled her show do to a hip and legs pains. Some many thoughts were going thought my mind. At first, I though it was rumor but, I read on more tweets and read it was true. But, I was like she strong and a tough women and it was only some leg and hip pain and she will postpone that show and go on with the tour. So, I brush it off and when to class.
After class, I when home and took a shower. When I got out off the shower my dad told me the most painful and heartbreaking news. He was watching the news and he said, “that Gaga needed hip surgery and she canceled the rest of the tour.” I thought he was joking, I couldn’t believe it. So, I rush to my laptop and check my twitter and to see if it was true. And unfortunately it was. I text my cousin and he was so despondent and I was so depressed. Then I thought my nightmare did come true after all. It was the lowest point of my life.
Later, that week I post a video on my YouTube channel about my feeling on this horrible news about Lady Gaga canceled tour. I told my story how I won the tickets on the radio and stay strong monster (what gaga called her fans). Then said, I was not angry at gaga because her heath come first and hope the surgery go well. Then I realize and said, even though I wasn’t going to the concert I know gaga would be ok and I can look forward to her new album ARTPOP.
By doing the video I knew I was going be ok. I didn’t feel like the unlucky fan I still felt the lucky fan even. if I can deal with painful new and stay strong; Like I said in the begin of the story; that it’s just life and you have to deal with the highs and low of life.
