25 DAYS!

It hit me this morning.

25 days until the final Bleach CD comes out. The last Bleach cd ever (unless they put out a greatest hits whatever).

Theses guys have been the soundtrack to my life for the last ten years. They introduced me to Christian Rock. I played "Space" for probably 8 hours a day one summer while I worked on bikes in the garage. I remember hearing "Race" for the first time at Supercross practice and thinking it was quite possibly the best song in the world. And I've listened to that song before every single race I ever ran or biked since then. I remember coming home with Again For The First Time and not being able to open the cd 'cause my hands were shaking so much :) And I was not disappointed. Mmmm. So many memories. It's almost like a breakup...you wonder how there could ever possibly be someone who could make you feel the same way. But there always is. I'm thinking maybe it'll be Sanctus Real...we'll see.

I'm torn...do I pre-order an autographed copy online which won't likely be here by March 1st...do I download it off of iTunes on March 1st (should be on there, I'd think)(but then I don't have the liner & artwork)...or do I buy it from Bible Bookshop or the Vault (not sure if they'll have it March 1st either...sometimes they do, sometimes they don't).

I think in honor of the band, starting on March 14th, I will feature, with one post each day, the lyrics to my top 15 Bleach songs. Should be fun. And maybe some of my favorite Bleach pictures.

Later.
