lyrics of the moment:
[quote2e7d0="Roxette"]
Lay a whisper on my pillow
Leave the winter on the ground
I wake up lonely, is there a silence
In the bedroom and all around
Touch me now I close my eyes and dream away
From the moment we touched
To the time that ran out
Make believing we're together
That I'm sheltered by your heart
But in and outside I turn to water
Like a teardrop in your palm and it's a hard
Winter's day I dream away
* It must have been love
But it's over now
It was something I wanted
Now I'm living without
It must have been love
But it's over now
It's where the water flows
It's where the wind blows
[/quote2e7d0]
just had to tell someone...

@ samg, thanks but don't be sorry. it's just that song...when i hear it, it reminds me of things past. i mean, i'm married now with two kids, so right now things are rosey. but the road behind me is littered with pieces of my heart that have been torn out, shredded, and stomped to get here. i have deep scars; i am damaged goods. and sometimes a song, like that one, will make me all weepy for things left undone, for choices made or not made, for the what ifs. not that i'm not happy now, but everyone's entitles to moments, aren't they?
i may still be of above-average intelligence, but i've made some really dumb decisions/choices in my life. every day i have physical reminders of some of them - the tattooed ring on my finger and name on my abdomen from wife #1, the tattoo on my solar plexus that i share (tat design, not solar plexus) with wife #2, etc. so, while it [ic1abf]should[/ic1abf] go without saying, here's a tip - don't get tattooed for any reason other than selfish, and never tattoo any names on you. things that seem like good ideas at the time usually aren't later. so yeah, i have my moments - sometimes bitter and angry, other times it's other emotions. music speaks to me more than just about anything else, so sometimes it's just that way.
i guess all i can hope for is that i will always have an open relationship with my boys so that they willl be able to benefit from my experiences and not make the same mistakes i did. but, i should know better than anyone else - there are some things people just can't [ic1abf]tell[/ic1abf] you, you have to experience for yourself. i just hope there are certain things they didn't inherit from me...
@kanuck - your gender issues are your own.
so there, more about me than anyone wanted to know. lurkers or not, it feels pretty tight in here, so i'm comfortable. i'll probably find and delete this later when it starts getting busy again...

Thanks for sharing. I feel touched that you opened up to us (albeit that it isn't a very private board). But I understand where you're going with it.
Sometimes it's good to be sensitive. As for Kanuck, well, that's a different story.
Damn, does anybody have a tissue...

... music speaks to me more than just about anything else, so sometimes it's just that way.[/quote8fae5]
Well, there's good news and bad news here then I guess. The pain of the past does linger, doesn't it. People say time heals, but I think it's closer to the truth to say that time provides coping skills, and that's the best time can offer.
I've got my songs, too. Probably one for each major emotional event or idea in my life, if I sat down and thought about it. We need a song-swapping thread.

other than a few select here and there (like the one cited above), here's what mine looks like:
NIN - pretty hate machine.
Type O Negative - all.
Sting/Police - various.
repeat above list [i9259a]ad infinitum[/i9259a].
the end. 8)
i tell you, there was a period of about a year or so where PHM didn't come out of my Cd player once. even still, none of the other NIN albums can replace the feeling of that one...

Sometimes movies are there at defining moments ... "Shadowlands" in my case. I saw it at a crucial moment. Funny thing was I had been reading a little of Lewis's [id5e16]The Four Loves[/id5e16], and then somebody rented the movie and I saw it.
[quoted5e16]There is no safe investment. To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly be broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket -- safe, dark, motionless, airless -- it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable.[/quoted5e16]
It's a long story why all that was significant, but stuff happened to this guy whose life song was an old Simon and Garfunkel tune - "I Am A Rock."

Yeah, there are lots of song lyrics that have meant a lot to me at one time or another... that's why lyrics always manage to find their way into my ICQ info and N/A messages. I'd post all of my past info lyrics here (yes, I keep a listing), but they're mostly love songs - Never Let You Down, I Don't Want To Miss A Thing, All I Want For Christmas Is You, I Knew I Loved You, I Want You Bad, etc, etc...
But there's one song that means a lot to me, one lyric from it in particular, no matter when or where I am.
[quote9eb27]When you're lovers in a dangerous time,
Sometimes you're made to feel as if your love's a crime.
Nothing worth having comes without some kind of fight,
You've gotta kick at the darkness till it bleeds daylight.[/quote9eb27]
Being in love at age 16 is tough. I'm not talking infatuation, or lust, or a physical attraction (though there's also that, too), or a crush, or anything like that... I'm talking about the desire to be with another person every moment of every day, for the rest of your life. Yet when you're 16, everyone's so quick to say, "you're too young," "you're just a kid," things like that.
I can't even blame people for saying that, because admittedly, I'd say the same thing to myself if I were an adult. But really, who wrote the rule that you can only fall in love in post-secondary, and why's it so damn tough when you're still in high school...
Bleh. There's those gender issues again

what's that quote from, the movie or the book? that's a great quote....
@ kanuck - i was in your same position at 16. on the one hand, i do not envy you. on the other, i tend to look back at that time as being one of the best of my life. enjoy, dear brother - every minute is precious and won't happen again.
