Week 4... the fatigue sets in

OK, so I've been doing a drawing a day so far all month, BUT DAMN did this month get busy!!!  Between work and art, I got more guitar practice in, walking everyday to try and get in shape, editing the Nero*Verb Podcast (latest episode is up, link will be at the bottom of the page!) and THEN there was the incredibly tiring yet insanely fun Anime Expo on the first week of the month, plus I just got back from seeing the Counting Crows and the Wallflowers live in concert... oh my GOD THIS WAS AN AMAZING SHOW!!!!!  When the Counting Crows played their song, Rain King, not 2 seconds passed before I felt a rain drop on my head.  ADAM DURITZ REALLY IS THE RAIN KING!!!  Honestly got teary eyed when I sang along to "Omaha", just so many good memories associated with this band and that song. 

It brings to mind another song, by another band, "Is That Me?" by the Uninvited.  The lyrics to the chorus just choke me up more and more with every passing day.  See, sometimes I forget that I am as old as I am.  Nothing bad, like I don't feel saddened or anything, I just can't help but reflect on so many days past, so many friends made, so many lost, so many mistakes, so many victories, so many fails, so many attempts, so many successes, so many laughs and so many tears:

"Leaning on a broken crutch, seen a lot but ain't done much
Sleeping on a pile of good intentions
Had a plan it's here somewhere, underneath this padded chair
Between the couch and the television
Well, morning makes a claim and again I'll play the game
But first, there's something I've just got to say

Is that really me in the mirror, is that me in this picture?
Could it be I've lived through all those years?
Is that me in the mirror, I can see someone familiar
But it seems the laughter and the tears have all but passed him by"

Some days, I just can't help but smile at everything as I think about the past, and look forward to the future.  Isn't it amazing what the right concert can do to you?  I have Linkin Park to look forward to in 2 weeks, Offspring/Bad Religion/Pennywise in a month, then in November, I'm taking 2 weeks off work and following my favorite band, Pearl Jam up the west coast from San Diego to Seattle.  DAMN THIS IS AN AMAZING YEAR!!!!!

Anyways enough rambling, yes, I am running a day late, I will catch up in time, but I really got to just relax for a day!!
In other news, PACIFIC RIM IS THE GREATEST FUCKING MOVIE EVER!!!
