The Red - Wonder What's Next, 2002


When I first heard "The Red" on the radio in late 2002, I told a lot of my friends "this band is gonna be huge!" To this day this is the song that defines Chevelle, and more importantly I was right about them 10 years ago. Chevelle is one of about a half-dozen bands that I've made this prediction with. But for me it was my most important. They have gone on to kick butt with every single release, and nothing has disappointed.

There is also a song that may be one of my favorite songs of all-time. This song just happened to carry me through a lot of tough times during 2003, and beyond. It has lingered with me - forever, and I thank you Chevelle for this masterpiece:

Cure My Tragedy


"Cure My Tragedy" is one of my favorite songs of all-time. It cleanses my soul, as it's the one that drove me to tears so many times. Thank you Stephanie, my love, and my everything!

Wasted Years


All I have to do is listen to Cold, and memories from September of 2003 come back really strong. I had just met the woman of my dreams. She rescued me from a terrible relationship, and the moment we met, I knew I had found "the one". We used to cruise around in her little green Mitsubishi Lancer listening to all sorts of stuff.. Godsmack, Staind, Chevelle.. But it was her introducing me to Cold that cemented so many memories. That's how it is. When you're going through changes in your life (and really even when you're not) the introduction of beautiful brand new music stays with you. And Cold will always stay with me for this reason. I love you Steph!

Chevelle - Send the Pain Below

One of my all-time favorites..

I'm All Messed Up, But I'm Back!

Well we're home from a great vacation, which was brought to an end with a bang!

My brother-in-law and I had a bunch of beer and vodka on what amounted to our last night there. I was on my way out the back door with a couple of vodka drinks at 5am, slipped on the welcome mat on the way out, sprained my ankle and hit the ground 4 feet below on my back right side. (Here's the same steps in a picture from last year.) B-I-L says I hit no other steps on my way down - just the ground.

Anyway the image above is from my wife's camera a few minutes after the fall. She was taking pictures of us through windows and laughing, believe it or not (I can). You can see the two little red plastic cups lying there too.

I went right to bed, and woke up a few hours later in major pain, so I went to the ER. Long story short, I've since flown home (as is always the case - had to walk from one side of Dulles airport to the other for our connecting flight.. on a bad ankle.. not fun), been to another ER, and to a urologist - In addition to the bad ankle sprain, I also have a burst adrenal gland, and many bruised ribs.

So I'm on a hydrocodone diet for a few days, and I will be resuming posts shortly. Today is the first day where my pain level has dropped to something that's at least manageable. And yeah it's my insides, not my ankle. I'm shocked that 15 x-rays found no broken ribs.

Here's my ankle a few minutes ago (almost 60 hours after the fall):
