Hell Yeah

Had a good night last night. Since Chris knew what a foul mood I was in and how stressed I was feeling, he had dinner going and the wee one picked up already when I got off work. He even folded the monstrous basket of laundry I had waiting for me. Ahhhh...

So, I could just chill when I got home, and chill I did. We ate dinner and then went to the pool. A couple of hours of paddling around and going down the water slide will do wonders for a stressed out soul.

I tell you, though, watching that video I linked a couple of times after yesterdays post did wonders. Such a funny video. Check it out. (Click "Break Stuff" - 2nd Column, 3rd down). It's Limp Bizkit. That song expresses, in a lot of ways, how I was feeling yesterday.

You know, seems like everyone now a days is dissing on Limp Bizkit but I don't care. I still like them. It's probably because of the time that I hung out with them back stage at a concert.

I have no idea what year it was (96 maybe?), but they were just starting to become pretty popular. I saw them at a local venue, and Chris and I just blew past the guard at the backstage entrance stating that we were with the Def Tones, who were also playing that night. We watched Mancow go into a storage room to get blow jobs from about 3 different chicks (ew), and hung out with the Def Tones and their crew while Limp Bizkit was on stage. They were awesome! They came off stage, and Fred Durst flopped down on the couch right next to me. Well, Hello! I told him they fucking rocked & he thanked me. Introductions followed and we hung out with he and the band and smoked a lot of pot. Their pot, even. heh heh. They were totally cool and funny to hang out with. I even got to explore Fred's tattoos and pick out which ones I liked best. :) Good times.

So, I watched Rock Star INXS last night. Curiosity got the best of me. I have to say, a few of the performers really did rock. I liked the blond guy the best. He wasn't too over the top, had a great voice and knew how to work the crowd. I find it very interesting that INXS is seeking to replace Michael Hutchence in this manner.

I guess this kind of thing is what bands do anyway to hire someone, but they're just making it into a televised contest. Clever really - a good way to get their music back into the limelight after so long. Publicity is always a good thing.

INSX was one of my favorite bands and I used to have a monsterous crush on Michael Hutchence. He was passionate, he was an incredibly powerful performer, he had an incredible voice and presence. He was awesome. I was so saddened when I heard that he died in '97. They said it was suicide, but there are many theories that his death was an accident - autoerotic asphyxiation gone horribly wrong. It was a tragedy, regardless.

Wow, that could take me to the wrong side of where I want to go today. Chin up, girl - remember where you want your mind to be and remember Michael for the bright points in his life! I guess my point is that whoever wins this contest (the show, that is) has incredibly large shoes to fill.

I've been doing a lot of comtemplating of the circular nature of my emotions and moods - the fluxuation between highs and lows and the trips between the two. I think I've decided that it's ok - it's how it's supposed to be. Maybe the extremes are a bit much, but it's really how life is.

I have noticed that everything a person does is in a circle and that is because the power of the world always works in circles - everything tries to be round. The sky is round and the earth is round like a ball and so are the stars. The wind in its greatest power whirls. Birds make nests in circles. Even the seasons form a great circle in their changing and always come back again to where they were. The life of a human is a circle from childhood to childbirth and so it is in everything where power moves.

Cast a circle, draw in the power, ground yourself and live life to the fullest. Hell yeah.
