Probably the last thing eveyone expects me to say...

Sooooo.....

I've spent my post-work, post-workout time this morning (seeing as I got home around 1:45 am) watching with unabashedly childlike fervor and awe the 'video diary' DVD from my newly-arrived copy of 'Life on the Murder Scene,' the fanboy-fodder live CD/2 DVD set of My Chemical Romance (one of my favorite bands) that was released shortly after 'Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge.'

Ask any reasonably hardcore fan of MCR and they'll tell you that Gerard (the lead singer) was an alcoholic. For those interested in arguing semantics, some subscribe to the school of thought that was = is and always will be. Fine. Have fun with that, for this blog and further posts will refer to those who have cleaned up as 'was.'

They don't hold back in chronicling (and showing a decent amount of footage of) Gerard's hitting rock bottom and digging himself and his band up out of that hole, obviously with a little help from his bandmates and crew. His story is inspiring. It's fantastic to watch him rededicate himself to the cause with such sober ferocity.

K bye!
