February 10, 1962
On this day, we celebrate what would have been the 61st birthday for Clifford Lee Burton. Cliff Burton was an American musician/bassist for heavy metal band, Metallica. He was famously known for his infamous bass rifts in songs such as For Whom The Bell Tolls, Anesthesia (Pulling Teeth), and Orion.
Born in Castro Valley, California, Cliff grew up in a fairly normal life until tragedy struck after his 13th birthday when he lost his elder brother Scott. The tragedy lead Cliff to pick up the bass permanently and become the bass player to exist. With influences from his brother and also Rush bassist Geddy Lee, Cliff would practice for hours on end to make his brother proud.
After high school, Cliff entered college where he joined his first official band, Trauma. After winning battle of the bands in 1982, things got boring for him. That is until future bandmates James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich head hunted him to join their amateur band, Metallica.
Cliff shredded away on his bass, earning himself his rightful spot in Metallica to replace former bassist Ron McGocney. Bass became his life passion, and so did touring. There was only one thing Cliff loved more than his music: being home. As much of a thrashing metal head he was, Cliff was known to be quite the homebody.
After tragedy struck in 1986, the world was stripped away of his talent, leaving behind an unforgettable memory that'll remain in the hearts and minds of Metal Heads around the globe. February 10, 2018, his birthday had officially become known as Cliff Burton Day within the music community. Today is not to be a day for us to be sad of his memory, but to be grateful for the memories that remain to keep his spirit alive. At only 24 years old, Cliff truly did become the best bassist to have lived in the music community.

i don't wanna look at anything else now that i saw you
I have found myself thinking about how four years ago around this time was when I started the most exhausting (yet VERY rewarding) journey that is online dating. Looking back, I don't know how I ever got anywhere with anyone who messaged me because I was so determined to find someone to marry. But that just means I got extra lucky when I stumbled into you.
I can't believe that was four years ago. It has almost been four years of loving you. And by then it will be five months of being your wife. It has been quite the ride.
