Great Bands-Live

    I love music. I love going out and seeing bands live. Live, that's what really separates the good from the not so good. My plans last week were to go see a great local band that I have seen quite a few times and always enjoy their show. Marshall Law did not disappoint! But I'll get back to them. So like I said I love music and I go on you tube alot. I do nights where I just start checking out the suggestions on the side to find new bands that I never heard of and a couple weeks ago I discovered a band called Evans Blue. What I heard sounded really good. So I'm driving home from work on Friday and I hear on the radio that Evans Blue is playing at a bar in Bristol, the town I live in! They are a national act and have cds out, playing at a bar in my town. But I also wanted to see Marshall Law, yes I wanted my cake and eat it to! Lol. I called the bar before I left to find out what time Evans Blue was taking the stage.......Midnight!....Cool!.....I could see both! So I started my night with Marshall Law ( Now I gotta say good things, because I found out Saturday, that Joe, the drummer checks out my blog. lol). Seriously, they kicked ass and sounded great!  They added alot of new songs to their playlist, a few I was very happy to hear! I've never been disappointed at a Marshall Law show. A coworker, Cathy, from my new job showed up, and she really enjoyed them, and is planning on going to see them this coming weekend. I can't make it, going to a picnic that I'm looking forward to. Here are a few pics from Marshall Law. Sorry they're so dark, took them with my new phone. Great bunch of guys!

My view for Marshall Law

The drummer, Joe and I. Joe's a great guy! (now that I know he reads my blog! lol)

           Unfortunately, I couldn't stay for Marshall Law's whole show, but they have some other gigs coming up and I'll be there for some. So I took off and made it to the next bar before midnight so I could see Evans Blue. They aren't a local band so I didn't know if I'd see them again, especially in a bar. They were really good! I'm really glad I got to see them. What made my night even more enjoyable was a great friend of mine, Cindy, who I've known for at least 30 years, showed up at midnight. So I had some great company to watch the band with. I had a great night out and really enjoyed the bands and the company I had all evening. Pretty cool, because I went out alone! Next Friday my friends, Debbie and Mellisa, and I are going to see an all female band called Sister Funk. Debbie brought me to see them a couple of weeks ago when they played here in town. They are another great band. Oh, and speaking of great bands, about a month ago Debbie, Melissa and I went to see The Lee Robin Band. I've really have been enjoying seeing the live bands and hanging out with great friends. I really got lucky with my friends, I have quite a few really great ones.Thanks for listening, Kevin

Cindy and I. I'm so glad that she showed up!

In a deeper funk

        I've always tried to be as honest as I can. In this blog I'm probably gonna be more honest than I should be. After all, I started this blog to vent, right? So what good is it if I'm not honest? My depression is getting worse, for many reasons. Shelly and I are still going our separate ways, but she is still in my house. Really tough living with someone you still care about, but the relationship is over. My new job, I like the company and the people, but the machines I set-up are a pain in the ass, so small and finicky. I have to deal with wire that's only a couple thousands more than a human hair. What did I get myself into? I look around my house and yard and see so much that should be done, and I don't do it. I set goals for tomorrow, but when tomorrow comes, the depression is still there. So I open a beer instead of doing what I should. Oh yeah, alcohol is something I've battled with for years, we have a love/hate relationship. It hasn't helped in my relationships, but it hasn't been the killer either. So I'm at the point where I don't care if I live or die( for a few more reasons than I got into here), but I would never kill myself. I fear God to much to do that. I'm not perfect and never once claimed to be. Hopefully I can snap out of this funk soon. Thanks for listening, Kevin
