Music Monday – Paranoia
I missed a bunch of Music Mondays recently. I’ve been impossibly busy. Mom had radiation therapy for a full week last month–they found lung cancer in a CTscan they did when she was being released after her emergency heart valve replacement surgery early this year. Then I had a book signing, which always derails my routine. Then it was the 4th of July holiday weekend. Now I have a horrible case of poison ivy on my right arm from wrist to armpit. Yay! *sarcasm* I declare 2016 as the suckiest year in my history. Hope your 2016 is going better than mine.
Anyway, enough complaining. I feel like I need something hard and heavy this Monday to pull me out of my funk. A Day to Remember’s “Paranoia” it is…
Love it! Especially the riff. The full album comes out in August, so check it out.
Reagan’s book “Outsider” is almost finished. I’m hoping to type “The End” next week. Yes! Finally! And only 5 months later than I’d hoped. Better late than never, I guess. So now I’m approaching every song I hear as potential playlist material. And I’ve got some good ones already. Can’t wait to share them on the Mondays to come.
Have a great week! I hope to be around more often from now on. Of course I hoped that before being punched directly in the face with my Mom’s cancer diagnosis, so if I’m scarce, it isn’t because I don’t love you all. 2016 is out to get me.
Perhaps I have a bit of “Paranoia”. Ha!
I hope your things start to get better but if not, just remember, the year is already over half over!!!
Geesh, I should have read that before I posted it!! I hope things start getting better for you soon and if they don’t then at least the year if half over!!!
Much love to you and your mom. Praying all goes well.
You’ve given all of us so many fantastic hours of reading. My favorite heartthrob is Trey.
I hope the second half of the year makes up for the first!! Hope your mum is doing well 💕
I am so sorry to hear about your mother. I hope everything gets better for your family soon.
I hope your mom’s therapy is successful! I look forward to your music Monday’s so much and I’m REALLY looking forward to Outsider! This weekend I’m traveling from Oakland CA to Chicago for the inaugural Chicago Open Air show!
Have you listened to Mister Asylum by Highly Suspect? Give them a try!
I’ll check it out. Thanks for the suggestion! I do like Highly Suspect.
Much love and healing thoughts to you and your mom!
As someone who’s dealt with her Mom’s cancer and radiation and chemo, I can certainly relate to what you’re going thru. Nothing more frightening than having the doctor throw that word at you. It’s tough, it’s hard and it’s painful but hang in there and, hopefully, things will get better.
I will add you and your Mom to my prayer list. Even if you don’t believe in the power of prayer, I do, and it can’t hurt, right???
Sometimes it’s just as hard for the care giver as it is for the patient. Be there when you can but take time out for yourself too.
Man sounds like you have had your hands full. Love and prayers for both you and your mom. Try to stay positive, I know it is easier said then done but if possible, your health is extremely important. Again my love goes out to you ❤️
I love Paranoia, so addictive! Seen them play it live this year. Also check out Black Honey by Thrice, Hate by Design (Killswitch Engage), I Like It Heavy (Halestorm), and Stronger by Through Fire. Just a few of my faves lately.
Sorry for all the bad things going on in your life right now. Sending positive vibes. Hang in there. This too, shall pass.
Be good to yourself is good advice when you’re in caregiver mode. Your mom will make it me of the most meaningful roles in your life. You both might be surprised where to find good moments. They will be there even in the toughest times. Be open to them if you can. Definitely easier said. 🙂 Prayers and good vibes are headed to you guys from all us you’ve given so much to.
