25 YEARS - On December 8, 2009 it will have been 25 years since my 1st concert. December 8, 1984, KISS, Cobo Arena, Detroit. I was all of 14. That was such an awesome concert for me. It was so much fun and we also had the advantage of staying at my Grandma's house in Beverly Hills that night. It was so damn fun! We were drinking Seagrams Gin and 7-Up. It was mixed in a 2 liter 7-Up bottle. At the end of the night, after an awesome concert by the Hottest Band In The World, we went back to "Dynamite Granny's" (that became her nickname that night). Anyway, someone put the Gin/7-Up mix in her fridge. Yep. right next to her 2 liter bottle of 7-Up. Ooooppps! Now I don't know if she tried it or not, she never said, but that us with a great laugh for a very long time afterward. I really can't believe though that on December the 8th, 25 years will have past. Damn!
ALASKA - Since early 2005, I've had this dream of living in Alaska. It at times consumes me, others it's just a longing. I just would like to try it for 1 year at least. I mean Fairbanks would be the ultimate challenge. 21 hours of daylight at the end of June and then 21 hours of dark at Christmas. 40 below! The sights, sounds! The adventurer in me thinks Fairbanks, the sane part thinks Anchorage because it doesn't get as cold. I know it's crazy, but it's such a dream to me! From everything I have ever seen, people are accepted there a lot more readily than here in the Lower 48. Differences are welcomed as a sign of being a true person. Think about that! Anyone can go there and be welcomed! How cool is that? I finally have the Mrs. on board to going so that's cool. The only thing that has held me back for the last couple of years has been the step-son. I don't want the Mrs. to be that away from him and all that. But, as I've said, June 2012 he graduates. He'll be 18. Then, whatever happens, happens. Who knows?
iTUNES - iTunes is just awesome too! It's nice to be able to buy just a song or two by an artist and not have to buy the whole CD. That rocks! A great way to find all those songs we used to listen to growing up in D'Ville. Takes me back y'know? Thank You Apple!
MASSA - Felipe Massa, 28, driver for the Ferrari Formula 1 team, suffered a serious head injury today in qualifying for the Hungarian Grand Prix. He was hit in the head by a spring from another car. It smacked him in the helmet, broke the visor, and smashed up his eye. He had emergency surgery to relieve pressure from within his head and was put in a induced coma. Next update is comin later today. I really hope everything turns out OK for him and his family especially his 5 month pregnant wife. If he never races again, but can be a loving husband and father, that is all that matters. Prayers Felipe!
