Dedicated Avenged Sevenfold Fan

Meet my Avenged Sevenfold Family. From left to right my boyfriend Jake, Me, Lena, Joe, and my brother Marc. All the rest of the people around us are part of that family too.

Yesterday I went to Evansville, Indiana for the Avenged Sevenfold concert which if you don't know who they are then learn who they are! They are extremely talented, I know metal isn't a lot of peoples favorite music but it sure is mine. If you know anything about Avenged you probably know that their drummer died a year and a couple months ago. It was a horrible lost, they were in the middle of recording an album and they still have no cause of death. He was an amazing musician he was playing stuff that Lars Ulrich(Metallica's Drummer) was playing at a young age, which is not easy. It was a really rough year on the band and the A7X family a.k.a their fans. Last night they played with New Medicine, Hollywood Undead, and Stone Sour. Stone Sour is one of my other favorite bands. The guitarist Jim Root and the lead singer Corey Taylor are also in the band Slipknot.

The best way I can describe the concert last night after Avenged went on was euphoric, it was like a dream come true. It was my second time seeing them in concert and each time it just gets better and better. To know how I feel think of the band or person you want to see most in life and hearing them play the song that you never thought they would. It just made my life. A7X is a band that is in it for the music and their fans. I would happily do that drive again and more just to be able to see them preform again. As the semester moves on I will probably write a lot more about them. Last night was an adventure and a great one at that. If you are a fan here is there set list for the Nightmare After Christmas Tour : Nightmare, Critical Acclaim, Welcome to the Family, Danger line, Buried Alive, So Far Away, Afterlife, God Hates Us, Bat Country, Unholy Confessions, and for their encore songs Fiction and A Little Piece of Heaven. During Unholy Confessions they played a little bit of Crossroads to get a circle pit going. Alright thats what I got for you all now. Time to link some youtube videos so you see what I saw last night! And if you're scared of metal head you might not want to watch!:)

Pixie the Kitty!

So today I just picked up my little 4 month old baby with fur from the Humane Society of Missouri. I took her in  yesterday morning at 7am to be De-Clawed and Spayed. The service there is really awesome! You can tell that they care for the animals deeply. Me, being the nervous as I was about dropping off my little baby and letting them cut into her was very hard but they definitely were reassuring. They called as soon as she was out of surgery to let me know she did great and that she was resting.
Its amazing that something that isn't even the same species as you has such a deep impact on your life. I consider Pixie my child and going a full 24 hours without your baby is quite traumatizing let me tell you! She is finally home  and doing well. She didn't even have to have her paws bandaged because she is doing so well! I am very impressed with the people at the Humane Society, they did an excellent job and gave me good instructions. On the 4th she goes back for them to remove the stitches on her tummy. But for the next few days it's nap time to little miss Pixie Stick.
