The Metallica concert was on Monday night and my hearing has just returned to normal! I know I don't appear to be a metal head and I admit I haven't always been a fan but Randy loves them and I never pass up a concert. My uncle Phil hooked us up with some great tickets and I must say it was one of the best concerts I've ever been to. Yes it was loud, yes it was full of weird looking people, and yes my hearing may be permanently damaged but whether you hate Metallica or love them you have to admit they are incredible musicians and they put on a great, energy packed show. Thanks to reality t.v. and all the tabloids we have access to now, the lives of rock stars aren't as much of a secret as they once were. Sex, drugs, and rock and roll right? Apparently not for the aging stars of Metallica. They don't drink, or do drugs anymore (after years in rehab) and I'm pretty sure Lars was drinking beet juice after each song. I love him by the way! The truth of the matter is they love what they do and it was really apparent. After the show they spent a good twenty minutes chucking drum sticks and guitar picks to the crowd. Even though I may not look the part of a Metallica fan (thank goodness) I can still rock with the best of them and it's as close as I will ever get to being a rock star in this life time.On a side note, I got up the next morning at 6:30 to vote and I will only say one thing about the election... if you think Obama is a terrorist or is going to harm our country in some way, please don't say it around me. I for one am inspired by him and I really hope he has what it takes to turn it around. That's it for now...oh and 5 weeks and 2 days with no sugar!!! But who's counting?

I am so tired of the the "Obama bashing" as well. I think he is an incredible person. I was glad to see you voice your support for him also.
So you really made it through Halloween without sugar? Way to go!
I thought his speech was AWESOME! I can't wait to FINALLY have the office of president to be respected! It seems like it's been forever since that office has been respected.... don't you think? I am exicted for change and am behind him %100! I'm inspired also!HOORAY!!
Sounds like the concert was fun. Ask Randy if he remembers who gave him his first Metallica tape. I actually liked them way back when....
