My sister, Risa, and her friend, Drew, and I went to the Violent Femmes concert at the Viejas Casino. I remember jamming to Violent Femmes in high school while hanging out with Keith Handley.
Creed Concert – San Diego CA
Mark and I and his daughter went to the Creed concert. I don’t know about you, but I love these guys live.
Little Wing – Jimi Hendrix
As often as possible over the last few years, I have gone to see the Michael Bliss Band play all over San Diego County. They are fantastic…to say the least. They have a unique jazzy, funky, blues thing going on that is so fun to dance to and so much my style. They seem to like the way I tear it up on the dance floor to their music and sometimes Michael comes down off stage and does a bit of dancing with me while he is singing…especially to Little Wing…they do an amazingly long, powerful instrumental jam at the end of this song that I lose my mind to on the dance floor. So, tonight, they gave me an autographed copy of their CD and all of the band members signed it and they made reference to me being “Little Wing”.
Well shes walking through the clouds
With a circus mind thats running round
Butterflies and zebras
And moonbeams and fairy tales
Thats all she ever thinks about
Riding with the wind.
When Im sad, she comes to me
With a thousand smiles, she gives to me free
Its alright she says its alright
Take anything you want from me, anything
Anything.
Fly on little wing,
Yeah yeah, yeah, little wing
Sci-Fi Cheryl!
A good friend of mine photoshop’d this photo for me.
Ready to go out
Megadeth Concert – San Diego CA
So, I just moved out of my husband’s house on January 1st, but we are spending a bunch of time together and things seem better than ever now that we are not living together. We went to the Megadeth concert tonight at Canes in San Diego. Very freaking cool!
Lost
Do you know where you are going?
Was your reality merely an illusion?
Do you know where you have been?
Was your life filled with confusion?
The rain dries up, and the fog clears,
But shadows still remain,
And the monsters that hide behind them
Come out at night to play.
As you run from the sandman,
And the creatures of the night,
You have a new sense of direction,
And your eagle takes to flight.
The thoughts that stir around in your mind
Are telling you to leave this world behind
And the dreams you thought would always linger
Have suddenly slipped through your fingers
As the piper plays a new tune
He beckons you to follow
And you do
Cheryl!

Black Sabbath/Pantera Concert – Las Vegas NV
I drove up to Las Vegas to hang out with my wonderful friend, Janet for New Years Eve (which by the way on the Last Vegas strip was freaking insane!). The guy she is seeing had tickets to the Black Sabbath/Pantera concert and so we all went.
Page & Plant Concert – San Diego CA
Those of you who know me well, know that I have been a huge Led Zeppelin fan since I was 12 (1982). I would have loved to have been a teen-ager or older in the late 60’s and early 70’s but it didn’t work out that way. However, after I first heard Led Zeppelin in 1982, I was hooked and quickly got all of their albums and listened religiously. Since then, I have lost my mind on many occasions dancing to every song they ever did (including underground and bootleg stuff). They are, by far, the best band ever to dance to and I can just close my eyes and lose myself in the music. It is very epic. When I heard the Page & Plant tour was coming to town, of course I had to go. Mark and I got tickets and it was phenominal!
Live In A Hole – Pantera
This is my new theme song and I love to scream it when nobody is listening…
Full of grief I scream at the wind
Thought I heard the words of others
Imprison myself
And stay in a shell
I won’t let you in to have a story to tell
Things tend to drag me down
Don’t understand so they hate me now
(Chorus) My fear grips the will of stone
My fear grips I’ll die alone
I promised myself somewhere in the teenage life
I’d never submit to the ones I will not be like
Live in a hole
But stay close to my kind
Cause they understand what burns in my mind
I still feel incomplete
Friends are few and far between
