There is a good movie that blends Vlad and Bram's Dracula well called Dracula Untold. Its one of my favorites.
Things That Are on Your Mind

Band had a great show, and luckily, my wife took videos of the whole set.
Super Mario Party Jamboree is the best game since Mario Party 6. After the series had been getting incredibly fresh and formuliac, Ninty releases a new game with great mini games and cool new boards with unique board mechanics, along with a massive character roster. Far better than Super Mario Party and any of the games with the four in one car.
Dracula's castle is also known as Castle Bran. It is a great place to visit and it certainly has the look, though most historians agree that Vlad the impaler actually never set foot in it!
Another great one is Castle Corvin which is featured in the horror movie The Nun. It's the one with the big bridge.
It is interesting the two Draculas, the monsters and the man, and how both get fanbases. I warchdd The Voyager of Demeter which is the former, and while I admit it was entertaining, I prefer The Man who is doomed immortal and who falls in love every century or so.

I would hate to be immortal, because I believe if I was immortal, I would grow to resent and hate humans, and eventually decide to commit genocide on the human race.

That is the birth of every great villain, they live long enough to lose everything over and over.
If I was immortal in this life, I would probably be married like a zillion times. XD

And you would watch every one die. Every child die. Every grandchild, die.
You also potentially get to see generations and generations of your progeny grow, and see your line cross centuries and even millennia.
Ever since my drummer dropped on me that there is a very good opportunity to go with Shinedown or Drowning Pool on tour, I can't stop thinking about it.
And I don't even really listen to Shinedown or Drowning Pool.....

Sounds like a great opportunity. I understand family is always a concern for a long tour, but to get to go on tour with other bands is major, and something you will look back on one day. I do not want presume to tell you what to do, but it sounds like big opportunity.
I also realize this is not the advice version of this thread. XD
---------------------------------------
What is on my mind is that I am becoming the parent of my parents. My mother had massive strokes and is not as she was. It is hard because of my two parents she is the one I was closest to. I only see glimpses of the person I knew. She remembers, but her personality is different and much of who I knew her as is inhibited by memory struggles. Its not that I feel angry, she could not help the strokes (she was even on anti stroke meds) but its a new normal that I am just now realizing how much I am dealing with. I am having to tell her about her past, and only on certain days do I sense who I have known and can have the discussions we once had.
I have had to adjust to my mother's personality changing before. She use to be very intense personality and judgmental, then an accident made her very gracious personality. Now the strokes have changed her some more, and its not that I hate the new normal, its again an adjustment. We have been through a lot together over the years, particularly when my parents separated, I was her one and only supporter.
My Father and I have a much more complicated relationship. I am the dreamer/artsy son, and my brother is the mechanical and engineer son he has more in common with. My father has a hard time fathoming my world, and I his, though we both try. He has remained mostly the same in the cognitive realm, even the shouting is how he always has been.
I'm moreso hoping that it doesn't fall through, previous label interested in us offered us a..... strange deal that we couldn't sign that contract.
So, I guess I'm keeping my nose down writing music, as the new song we unveiled last night people loved, which is odd because it is not one that you can easily headbang to.
The verses are heavily syncopated 4/4, the pre-chorus is in 5/8, and the chorus is in 6/8, with the first solo section in double time 4/4, and the second solo section in 12/8.
Only the intro and outro are straight-ahead 4/4.
And it's a song about sharks, both the animal, and metaphorical kind.
And there's two new songs I have that the whole band is liking, so, I guess I'm doing the right thing by just playing and writing and seeing where the chips fall.

Old school bands. I love listening to Pantera and Ozzy stuff.
