November Rain

November is usually an interesting month. Always marks changings in me, physically, emotionally, its strange. Im wanting to get ready for the holidays, but eh, not too early.

I've been seeking things out more, things to do, people to see, places to go. Ive never been shy about doing things on my own, and I suppose this is no different now.

I like going on my little adventures, finding different curious things. Meeting different people, people watching.

My concert calendar has quieted down ALOT since this summer, but I do believe it is about to start picking up again. Reverend Horton Heat is due here in Chicago in December, and I cannot wait to go, the Rev always puts on a great show, with his great rockabilly style, nature boy Jimbo and his Big Thumping Bass... mmmmm so nice.

AND I did get an AMAZING newflash. The one the only Social Distortion is going to be back in Chicago. I just wish I knew when.

They will be here with the convention Musink a music/tattoo festival started by Kat Von D.

I will take Social D any way I can get them, Mike Ness specifically. We all know my love for that man, so I wont go back into it here.

I have Monday and Tuesday off of work this week, and will be celebrating my moms 63rd Birthday. For her gift, I got us Orchestra seats for Jersey Boys (for her, my sister and Cathy), took her to see Wicked last year for her birthday, and she had a great time. She had been peeping about going to see Jersey Boys (I think its because she dated one of the original seasons – before they were famous). Well, and the fact that her and my father LOVED that music.

Some Side Notes:

Thank you to everyone for your kind words, and thoughts when my uncle passed a few weeks ago, my family will be healing for a while, but things will be ok.

The podcast is coming, Im thinking it will all start up in January (being posted and starting for the listening public), in the meantime, I am getting shows together, running through Ideas, and even trying to work on some music for it.

Nutrisystem is going good, dropping slowly, but healthfully, past couple of weeks were a struggle, nbut Im back on track, and in the mind set, so Im not worried.

The condo/townhouse search is going well, I really dont want to move in the winter, and the housing market is for shit (as well as all of the other markets). Im not liking the idea of getting a forclosure home, basically because more and more I have been hearing stories of previous owners messing with the house, to make it a living hell for the new owners. (spiteful, and mean, but still happens).

Yes, im getting the photography bug again, 35mm style. Have to go back out like I used to. I love my cannon, and havent used it as much as I used to, prior to the digital cam revolution. There is something about FILM that just gives a certian mood, and feel to any photo, whether it be color or black and white. But anywhoo, I havent posted any pics on the blog of anything, and I really need to!

Ok cats n kittens, im off to the gym now!! SOOO glad to be off on Monday and Tuesday.
