Young The Giant opened for them. Good band ... check them out.


This concert was incredible. 2 hours of live Incubus music, and I love the tribute to The Doors. I recorded "Dig" on video, I will post it soon, as well as all the pics. Brandon Boyd is a lovely male specimen, let me tell you. He now adorns my desktop, shirtless and crooning.

They've been a band for 20 years. I felt pretty old after Brandon mentioned that little tidbit. lol


All in all, I have plenty of music to keep me company in 3eb's absence. Going to see Rise Against open for the Foo Fighters next weekend. Goo Goo Dolls in October, and so far Tori Amos is closing out the year for me. I'm sure I'll add more as the season progresses.


I've been restless these last couple of days. I feel the balance in my life shifting .. or rather, disappearing. Too much work, not enough yoga. Or sex. Or something. Anything, really, besides this  hectic summer realm I've been living in.


Fall is here, my friends. My time to shine. Let's hope I see my reflection looking back at me in the mirror ... else I may have turned to the dark after all.

just another obstacle, I suppose

While checking my email yesterday I saw an article on Yahoo about skin cancer risks, self examination, and other information. I decided to check myself out since redheads with a lot of freckles are at a higher risk of getting it than others.

Much to my dismay, I found this spot in the center of my back that's just a bit smaller than a dime. I don't remember it being there at all, at least not this big and raised up like a bump. I had my Mom take a picture of it because I can't see it well in the mirror.

My doctor tells me that he's almost 100% sure it's melanoma.

Great.

I have three other dark spots he wants to have checked, too.
I kind of knew this day would come, but I didn't think it would be this soon. At least it's treatable.

This is the article I read. You should too.

If I hadn't read it, who knows how long this little bump would have gone unnoticed.
