"If I quieted the voices in my head I would face the day with nothing to write."

“The time to begin writing an article is when you have finished it to your satisfaction. By that time you begin to clearly and logically perceive what it is that you really want to say.” Mark Twain.

“And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it.”
― Roald Dahl

The moment I was kinda cool.


Knowing the right person at the right time happened to me and I was kind of cool for a moment in time.  In my mind anyway.


(L) other people in band, (C) me :) (R) Shaun Morgan Welgemoed


Seether my long time favorite band, ever... by chance happened to be playing at the Benton County Fair. Seether hails from South Africa and the lead singer goes by the name of Shaun Morgan. I admire his writing; even for a song his brilliant and creative use of words I find beautiful. His written lyrics sad and haunting sometimes, most of the time angry but done in a beautiful way.

"Before you hedge those bets you placed against me, be reticent of fortunes they foretell.
Your verbal defecation I can't wash away despite myself.Your vanity it seems to serve you well.Your so quick to choose the path walked by the righteous so you can go and nest among the weak. The innocent observers will refuse to find the light within, renew the disappointment of the meek."

And it is your day lucky, because I was lucky enough to know a guy who got me VIP tickets. So not only did I get to have a great seat, I got to meet the band and have pictures taken with them. What a moment in time that was. I'm not a huge fan of getting to know, stalking, tracking stars down. But I was thrilled to meet this man, thrilled I say... thrilled and honored. A clip from the show.





And as I filmed this clip I turned because behind me in the very small VIP crowd was Vitamin C. Random moment of complete coincidence. Complete surprise to see this man from my past after so much time has passed.
