I've been listening to Fierce Mercy every day since the first show I attended last week. I didn't listen to the album more than twice prior because I wanted to get familiar with the songs through hearing them live first; there's something about hearing an unfamiliar track in this setting. Not only is live music authentic, but you naturally allow yourself to block out your surrounds and be one with the artist and tune. Example: when I saw Colin in 2015 showcasing his album, Next Year People, "Waiting in the Rain" was an out-of-body experience because I still didn't know the song in its entirety and I let it take over me in that moment. It's to-date in my top 5 best Colin songs,
Just some highlights of my evenings with Colin Hay.

There is A LOT I'd like to say about my trip; I've had a lot on my mind about the experience and how I want to continue reaching my life's purpose. Maybe I've discovered it on this trip? I can't say for sure, but I know that I really enjoy sharing my passions with others, meeting people who share the same passion, witnessing pure joy, and reading and hearing stories about anything and everything, through any medium.

'Party on, Wayne!' A celebration of Wayne's World.
February 7, 2017
Even though I'm one who is usually in bed by 9 p.m., I was just leaving the theater after seeing Wayne's World for the first time on the big screen. Any chance to see a film I wasn't alive or old enough to see on this scale is one I'll attempt to do. One of those opportunities was tonight. Wayne's World celebrates its 25th anniversary this year.

Wayne and Garth were a big part of my teen years. Despite being only months old when the film first hit theaters, I was blessed to have a father who cultured me in good entertainment that was before my time. TV wise, it was Monty Python and Saturday Night Live. Both shows will also hold a special spot in my heart.Wayne, Garth: [to Alice Cooper] We're not worthy! We're not worthy!Garth: We're scum!Wayne: We suck!
'Waiting For My Real Life' film speaks volumes. I LOVED it.

Groundhog Day! Did the little critter see his/her shadow? I don't care; I live in the Midwest where the weather will fluctuate despite what the groundhog "says."
I've spent some time mourning the loss of my Colin Hay wine bottle that I purchased at the first show my dad and I attended two years ago this month. Enough of that, though, because I can always order another when I see him again. And, if I read the website correctly, I can easily order a custom label and request the winery to use the same label that was used two years ago. It might be a stretch and cost extra money, but it's worth a shot. Also, I'm going to do something creative with the remains. I'd love ideas if anyone has a few, or just one!

One year later, and I'm still missing Alan Rickman.
January 14, 2017
This time last year, I was in a haze, going through my Thursday trying to comprehend what happened that morning. Alan Rickman died, and I was devastated, first confused and unsure how to respond. Was it a hoax? Who would joke about such a thing? But, no, it was true. Alan really did pass away from cancer. From that day forward, I felt - and continue to feel - at complete random times, a sudden sting in my chest, confusion, and an indescribable urge to burst into crying.
There are many people out there who don't understand how average people get so caught up in "celebrity" deaths. First, Alan wasn't a "celebrity" in my terms. A celebrity is well-known for little to no real reason other than family connection and/or money. Celebrities had their lives on display and are open books. Alan wasn't an open book similar to how so many actors are these days. He was private and kept his personal life with his friends and family within those people only, and I completely respect his lifestyle and choices.
