I Said To Myself, "Listen, You've Got This Whole Thing Wrong, It All Will Be Forgiven..."

Jason Tripp - Listen


Do you ever have that experience where you do something that makes someone so happy that you almost feel selfish? Like you did something good just to get that magical feeling of making someone happy?

Well that is how I felt tonight after giving a stranger a ticket for the U of M vs MSU football game tomorrow. I swear to you, this kid thanked me 18 times tonight.

So several hours ago, I came to the realization that I had an extra ticket in my possession, so I just took it with me to a party, and I figured someone there would need it.

This was much harder than I ever imagined.

I asked 15 or 16 different people if they needed a ticket, and they all said no. But then that final person that I asked said he needed it, and asked how much I wanted for it. So I handed it to him. And he again asked how much I wanted. I tried to explain that he didn't need to pay me for it. He seemed confused, but he rolled with it.

A few minutes later, one of my friends comes up to me after overhearing him discussing with his friends whether he should return the ticket, as I was obviously incredibly drunk and would regret the decision in the morning.

Needless to say, he kept it.

Now, let me explain. I am given several tickets per home game to give to friends and family. So I gave away all my tickets, but then tonight one of my friends called me to say that she could no longer go to the game, so she returned the ticket. So it's not like I paid for this ticket, so I clearly clearly can't sell it to someone, right?

I don't know, but that kid was so happy, it was totally worth it. He seemed like a baller.
