Wow, Hello!! I didn't think anybody just went out on random sites and surfed anymore! Well I've updated my Def Leppard site again. Surely that's the one you wanted to see, eh?

Posted some Def Leppard news on my site!

Def Leppard is coming to Oklahoma City again on Sept. 5th! Here I go again! I have to scrape together the money for the tickets, gas, eats, and a hotel stay ('cause it is too dangerous for me to drive home after the concert. Almost 3 hours and I am exhausted to begin with!) Oh well, I gotta LIVE don't I? Time's ticking by and everything else is going to shit. These infusions of my choice drug is what gets me by...

There is something else new...I've decided to succumb to peer pressure and get a MySpace page. If you want to check it out click HERE

What's new? I dreamed about them again this morning. I pushed my way through a crowd to the stage, and some were being allowed on the edge of the stage itself, so I hopped up there too. Joe was singing and the others jumped down until only I was left and he turned his head to look at me and then I jumped down too.>snap< I am standing in a hallway, people are passing by me and suddenly he literally drops in front of me, and meets me eye to eye and smiles. The wonderful feelings rushing through me are so powerful they wake me up, and then I desperately spend the next hour trying to get back to sleep and pick up that dream.

You may ask, Why do I bother? My brother asked me if I had a MySpace page. I said no, I figure the 60 or so pages on Geocities was enough. But very few hits since the Official Def Leppard website dropped their fan links page. I'm just a fan that enjoys promoting my band, and I enjoy sharing that with the few of you that are fan enough to find my site among the millions on the web. I guess I could create a MySpace page linking back to these on Geocities. Hmm.
I updated my Def Leppard Obsession Page today.

And just in case I never get around to the Myspace thing, I updated my EGO page.

Yeah, I'm still ticking. Thought I'd tweak my Def Leppard page a little on this cold, dreary, rainy, day. By the way, I didn't get to see them in Little Rock as I had hoped. The money simply wasn't there. I still have a mortgage and a 17 year old mouth to feed. :-( But Oklahoma City was a great concert, although I'll NEVER sit on the floor of the arena again. I kept hitting the poo dude sitting next to me as I was flailing hysterically all through the show. I apologized profusely. But, being on the floor of the arena and way back by the mixing boards, mostly what I saw where the backs of other fan's heads and the mini-drama of the drunk whores in the row of seats in front of me.

I'M TOTALLY FREAKING OUT NOW!!! Def Leppard is going to be in Little Rock too! Now I can't wait for October! My Obsession Page

Oh, and hey- to all you that signed my guestbook and said I should update more often, thank you for the compliment. I appreciate that you're enjoying my site and wanting more! I will try to do better!!!

In exactly two months I turn 45 years old. There's been a lot that I wish I couldn't remember, and the world around me still looks pretty fucked up. But I found out today that a bright spot is starting on the horizon... my wishes were heard, and my favorite band is going to in concert close enough for me to be able to go! And only 5 days after my birthday! (so I can justify the expense!) I am totally jazzed!

Updated my Militant Pollyanna page to commemorate my 10 year web anniversary and to link a great planting calendar my friend painstakingly put together.

As promised in my last entry, the missing interpretations are back up on the website. Slang Interpretation. If you were there before, just scroll down to the note indicating the recovered part.
Thank you to everybody who has signed my guestbook and given me encouragement. I am sorry I didn't get back to some of you as requested, but believe me, your positive input had a lot to do with me having the courage to reconstruct the entire interpretation.

And in case you haven't heard, the Leps are touring AGAIN! (God love them!) This time I think they are trying to hit places they've missed before. Check out the official website for those concert dates!

Okay, totally new computer now. Yahoo updated their webpage manager and my puny cpu couldn't keep up. It doesn't matter, though, because the rest of 2005 has been fucked up. Since that last entry three seperate friends of mine has had a close relative die. Each has had to deal with grief and loss. My sympathy has been with them and I have tried to give them comfort, but I, too am very sad. I am still a Militant Pollyanna, but even though I'm still an optimist it doesn't mean I am blind to the pain in the world, and it still effects me. I just refuse to let it conquer me. I cry when I need to, but it won't be for long. Each of these beautiful women have shown great strength despite tragedy, and I love each of them deeply. As 2005 comes to a close I am expressing a sigh of relief and good riddance to it. 2006 is going to be better.

2006 marks 10 years that my original webpage and an interpretation of Def Leppard's Slang CD appeared on the World Wide Web. I want to mark this anniversary by making it whole again.

In the original interpretation each song on the CD was represented. But after initial angry e-mails about a couple of the tracks I grew uneasy. One day I was piddling around with the editor and accidentally(?) took them off. Once realizing what had happened I had a choice to simply re-type them, but I felt uncomfortable about making some fans angry.

My interpretations reflected negatively on organized religions. One in particular maybe moreso than others, but all are included if the shoe fits. After 10 years of silencing myself and seeing the ever growing politcal, economical, and ecological mess that the world is in now,(as it was then, but magnified greatly by the influence and interference of organized religions) I've decided to put them back up for your consideration, come what may.
Stay tuned....

Well, I didn't get to see DL in KC. So I've been very bummed. I probably would have passed out from heat exaughstion, though. It's been unbearable the last two weeks. I hate this time of year.

I finally got up the nerve to call my radio station and find out the scoop, (see last entry below) and as I suspected a new program director has come in. Not only has he got a better vibe going on, but now they have their own website: THE X that rocks! I'm debating on whether I should keep mine up. The only reason I did it was because they didn't have a web presence at all.

We'll see.

Def Leppard is performing tonight in Memphis Tennessee and the show is SOLD OUT. I'm not there, and since I've been mildly depressed since the OKC Concert (read the last update below} now I'm looking at the August 3 show in KC. A five hour drive away..... >sniff<

I made changes to the Still Obsessed page too.

***Bright Spot***
My radio station has undergone another subtle transformation. I haven't mentioned it because I support my Rock Fix however I can get it, but the station was playing too much dark shit, and too much other crap besides music was interrupting the flow. Playing shit too rough for an office environment, so I couldn't listen at work. But NOW it is playing great ROCK again! No RAP, NO HIP HOP! I'm so Happy!

Having a Def Leppard day. Dreamed about them this morning, Click here. Like I say on the site, I must be getting jazzed about seeing them in OKC June 10! And then my favorite radio station just broadcast a "humorous" short segment that featured a joke about them. As a die-hard fan I had to apologize on their behalf for the joke.click here.
The lame joke?
What has 9 arms and suck.

Put a link to the Official Website about Def Leppard's upcoming tour with Bryan Adams on my Def Leppard Obsession webpage. The closest they get to me is Oklahoma City, 2 hour drive from here. But $54 for tickets is steep...I'm gonna have to save up!

WHEW!!! What a great Halloween! I was still glowing with GOOD SPIRITS when I went to the Def Leppard Official Site and then was PISSED! Their record label really sucks dick. Now they've decided not to release the new CD and DVD in the U.S. until next year! The only way we stateside fans can get our paws on it is by ordering online, so I put a promo on my site so you can do exactly that! Go to my Def Leppard Obsession website. Up Yours, Mercury Records. You don't deserve who you have.
