When Inspiration flows freely

 I've always told myself....

Get that nasty feeling out of your system as quickly

as you can so that you don't regret it down the line.

Also, that you don't carry that burden with you the next day,

so that you may transfer that nasty feeling toward another soul.

This is why I enjoy the brush stroke, the smell, the texture

of oil paint late at night. For me, it's a calming and soothing rehabilitating feeling for me. Also when I paint for others I feel that that satisfaction feeling of their happiness of loving a piece that I made.

Art was never on my radar growing up.

I was always looking up to my sister in awe of everything

that she created. But through her inspiration and guidance I can

add some pointers to my feeble attempts towards my inspiration.

As I move forward in life inspiration is key with transition.

Growing up I might have looked to the wrong inspiration as I molded my life. However I feel that new inspiration is such a blessing at a very key point in my life. Whether it's through guidance, my painting, or my walk in life, I feel that inspiration is 

a key part of my maturation.

Just a quick glance at happiness

I'll keep the long, juicy filled blog for another day when I have all of the pictures to make it amazing; however here is a quick glance at what we waited in line all day for.

Front row next to The Edge.

It doesn't get much better than that at a sold out Oracle Stadium.

It was amazing. Not just that I was there with Superfan #1, but of our location and the concert in general. U2 belted out 24

amazing songs over a 2.5 hour reign.

Like I said these pictures don't do it justice being taken by my IPHONE.

We were so close.....

Each and every time we get to experience
these guys, we are very lucky.

I swear at least three times in the concert Bono looked at Sooz and I, as if he were singing right to us.... no lie, I swear!

 I feel like a kid in a candy store when

I get to experience this band. 

From the stands, from the seats, even from 10 feet

away, U2 was made for a stadium concert venue.

It's more than a concert, it's a production. It's so planned out to perfection, that I think each and every 

fan can take something different away from the concert.

I've always enjoyed going to the concerts with my superfans because they know how amazing U2 is in concert. We each hold that common bond of loving the band in its entirety since we were very young. I'm sad in some ways that my Sister (superfan#1) 

and my brother (superfan#2) might not be able to trek

down with me to Anaheim in a week for their next concert.

This is why I'm trying to steal superfan #2 away

from his obligations in the bay area just for a day as

we trek down to try and find "happiness" again. We'll see. 

Maybe I'll bribe him and his lovely wife in some way or another. 

They only come around every so often right????

HaHa well there's my happiness for the week. 

Oh and also I was able to grab this while at the show!!!!

Thanks to my boy AJ from the U2 road crew.(pictured above)
