Another chance, another closing door
What good are dreams when they crumble to the floor
Sometimes I wonder if it's always been this way
And I've got a feeling up and down is here to stay

Come what may, I'll be waiting for it
I know the wind that brought it didn't mean me any harm
Come what may, it won't really matter
If it's got to be that way, it's OK
Come what may

I had an entirely different concept and entirely different lyrics picked out for this one. But, while I was working on this I was watching reruns of Fame (never a good sign ). I love the one where Danny starts taking speed so he can work at a night club but he leaves the bottle on his night stand and wonders how his dad finds them. Then his dad gets him fired from the club and Danny sings this song. He can't sing! It's hilarious! He can't ding but in almost every episode they give him a solo or, better yet, a duet with the cast members who can sing, which only makes him sound worse. But he's so cute, every time he opens his mouth I just want to pinch his cheeks and say "aww, look. He's trying to sing!" Yeah, Danny is the reason I like the TV show version of Fame more than the movie.

Anyways, getting back on subject here, once you get past the cheek pinching part of Danny's song and actually listen to it, it's actually a really nice song, especially considering it's from an 80's TV show. Come what may, it's pretty much my way of life. I tend to take everything in stride. Very few events in my life have really shaken me up and affected me.

Yeah, lightning. That was the biggie. Lightning took the lives of three of my horses, so it's kind of hard to keep a come what may attitude towards it. But the second I heard that song I thought of it, and I knew I had to change my manip to reflect that.

Overall, I love this one. I drew in the mane and tail again. I'm not too fond of the mane, but I love the tail. I tried to make it look more flowing like many of you guys suggested in my Footloose manip. I also recoloured the horse from a flaxen chestnut. After recolouring I had to do a bit of shading to the horse, which was a first for me so I'm pretty proud of the shading. I don't love how the lightning turned out, though. Also, because my original concept involved sunshine, it's pretty obvious that the clouds aren't storm clouds. It was a spur of the moment change, though, and my sister was on the internet so I couldn't get a new sky picture. I didn't want to wait because I was worried I would lose the drive to finish this, so I did what I could.
