Pumpkin-Seed & Peeps
This weekend my dear – and very pregnant – friend Angi had a baby shower.
“Pumpkin seed” is Angi’s first.
This was also my first baby shower.
I know husbands, boyfriends, significant others and the like who have attended baby showers, but I never had.
I was feeling a variety of feelings as the moment to leave for the party arrived:
Passion Ignited
Today when asked to describe me in one word Jocelyn “Jozey” Wichterman described me as passionate. While I humbly smirked when I read it, she’s right, I am passionate.
Yesterday’s tragic death of Avenged Sevenfold’s drummer The Rev [James Owen Sullivan] drives my passion into a flame.
Chains
Several years ago while having lunch with Heather Crimmins she introduced me to Avenged Sevenfold. Over the years I realized that Avenged Sevenfold’s lyrics spoke to people; they touched wounded souls:
“Tormented young with no souls, haunting me
Pain in their lives all they know is misery
Take these chains away that are holding me down” [Eternal Rest]
