For Halloween yesterday,
I was going to dress up with a suit and tie,
complete with the jacket and cuff links and all.

Get it?
“Dress up” for Halloween.

But I didn’t
I chickened out.

That should have been my costume.

A Chicken.

Next year,
I will have to do better.

It’s a toss between

a) The Town Drunk

or

b) The Village Idiot

Seems like the latter sounds good better funner.

Today, Tracy and I,
painted our living room with a different color.

I must say,
we did a pretty decent job,
considering we started doing it at 10 pm,
and did not finish til 4 am.

We had to wait til Tyler was asleep,
because it’s just impossible for us to do this project
while he’s running around all over the place.

Plus, with my injured back,
I knew everything will just hurt like a mother trucker!
And you know your body will be very sore in the morning.

So, for those people,
who are thinking of doing some home renovations and/or re-decorations,
here’s a word of advice,

“DON’T”!!!!!

So, why don’t we just look at some cool links,
instead of doing something else, like, “work”.

It’s sad sometimes when you tell a friend you are going to see a concert.
Then you tell them who you’re going to see…and they are like…“WHO?”

Anyways….I do not care.
All I know is that, I love this band!
And I am going to have a good time.

This is the second time I have seen Styx in concert.
Both in Ottawa. Both in the same venue.
And both turned out to be a one hell of a show.

Light shows and effects was just half of it.
The music kept me singing all the way through.
It is just so amazing how you see them play their songs live,
the way you hear them on the CD.
I mean I never thought it was even possible to play those songs live.

I don’t care if Styx is an old band.
I don’t care if their songs don’t play on the radio anymore.
I don’t care if Tommy Shaw reminds me of David Spade..
Styx ranks very high on my list.

Allanah Myles opened up for them.
And Lord….bless her heart…
if she would have just relaxed and sing her songs
instead of trying very hard to be sexy and funny
or at least try to remember the words and the notes of the song.
Because it’s either she is a half step flat, or we are sitting too far.

I mean she looked pretty good with that Blood red cocktail (mini) dress,
but when you sit like a trucker, it doesn’t really appeal as a legendary Diva.

There was one point when she sang “Black Velvet”,
where she was trying to be very sexy, slowly sitting down,….

then BAM!!!

..she lost her balance and hit the floor like a drunken co-worker
on your company’s Christmas party.

Anyways….
The way STYX performed made us forget everything.
They played every song like it was their last.
God, how I wish I could give that 100 percent to every music that I play.
Maybe I need more inspiration…..
Maybe…I need more alcohol.
