Last year I wrote down a list of people who inspire me and make my mind wander to new levels. One of those people was Nikki Sixx, who in 2011 released a memoir (and Sixx AM album) called "This is Gonna Hurt". I read this book so fast and engulfed every piece of advice, experience and warning. Today he re-released this book as a larger paperback version.

Today, the goal I wrote down happened (all thanks to Favazz for passing the moment down to me) and I had the most comfortable conversation with a mega rock star, to date.

He is every bit charismatic, relatable and kick-ass as you think. It's a long one, but it's a good one. I hope you enjoy.

Goals can happen, and people sometimes really are what they seem:
