Today I was witness to my first suspension. Though I never picture myself hanging from hooks, I could see the almost spiritual aspect as to why my friend would. It was her first real, off the ground go at it and handled it like a pro. I'm SO proud of her!! I got a ton of good pics and video of her off the ground,...

So It looks like I'm single. Didn't get a lot of warning but apparently its been in the works for some time now. I can understand, we've been through war and the loss of our little angel. As strong as anyone can be, sometimes there is just too much emotion, too much hurt and too much loss to overcome. I really just hope she can...

I'm sorry to hear things worked out that way for you. I'll channel any extra strength I have your way for sure. Best of luck to you, buddy.
societyspliers:
Yeah, what Kage said.
One year. What more can I say? I feel like its finally all fallen apart and maybe I can really start rebuilding. I hope so. I belive so. Go make sure the people that you love know that you love them.
societyspliers:
Nice to see a post from you. I hope the Life rebuilding goes as well as possible. Still thinking about you and your family.

older than sin, and his beard could grow no whiter. He wanted to die.
The dwarfish natives of the Arctic caverns did not speak his language, but conversed in their own, twittering tongue, conducted incomprehensible rituals, when they were not actually working in the factories.
Once every year they forced him, sobbing and protesting, into Endless Night. During the journey he would stand...

That's just TOO adorable! I'm so glad you have him. I'm in the midst of my annual mourning now so I haven't been online a lot lately.
But we have a big, well-paying Hallowe'en gig at a fraternity at University of Florida in nearby Gainesville. One of them saw us when we filled in for another band at that minute and for some reason, even after hearing us, still want to pay us a to play! We're rehearsing the entire Rocky Horror soundtrack and a multi-song extended jam sandwiched in the midst of the old Donovan song Season of the Witch (only much more electric than the original), and the Neil Young song Vampire Blues, which is doubly significant with both Hallowe'en and in light of the Middle East/oil/energy crises. Interestingly enough, he only performed it once, with the Eagles as his backup group in 1974

As for the rest of our show, I'm practicing a guitar part for Black Magic Woman, we may do a set of "Moon" songs, probably also Werewolves of London, and perhaps some old standards, like That Old Black Magic nd Witchcraft.
Hell, for the money they want to pay us for 3 hours, it'll be hard to limit ourselves, as we pull shit out our asses all through the show. I never like to play by a setlist (except in cases like playing the whole Rocky Horror soundtrack - which we may do acoustic)
Well, anyway, just thinking of you during this changing of seasons (although we don't have quite the dramatic seasnal changes here - one of the things I miss about living up North)

haha, well lucky for me my kid isn't even old enough to even eat his candy! 
Save for a few licks of a lollipop his mamma gave him. Spoiled brat.

Usually I love this time of year. Other than the extra tourists, fall in New England is about as nice as it gets. Along with the leaves and cider and syrup, its just cool enough to wear a hoodie in the mornings and evenings, which I believe is pretty perfect.
I'm not really digging this fall though.
It may sound dumb, but mostly I hate...

My heart goes out to you. I lost my nephew to Leukaemia and I still can't believe that I will never see him again. 
I wish you all the very best.

The internet is such a big, scary place!
societyspliers:
Yes it its a big scary place. Welcome back (or were you just lost in the big scary place? I figured since you were going to back in 2 weeks you must have been sucked into an Eddy in the Time/Space Continuum, but I asked Eddy and he says he's never even been near the Time/Space Continuum).
Well, just checking friends' journals (I still can't bring myself to call them blogs). Nice to see you back.

Off to Seattle to visit the better halfs family. Back in 2 weeks.
Happy birthday, my little angel. We miss you so much. Three is supposed to be such a big age, nearing the end of toddlerdom and making that switch over to "kid". Right before you had to leave us I was so amazed because though you had been saying I love you for a long time, you had just recently really learned what it meant. Without...

That was beautiful. You made me cry, but then the images made me smile.
Thank you.
Take care of yourself over there, Brother.
