I've heard this song several times, but tonight...I actually heard the song.
Just makes me think of a few things in my life,
a few times
I had this happen.
I came across my ex many moons
after we were together.
My 1st actual true LOVE
Was able to connect with him we BOTH shared
memories we were able to put a few things to rest.
This song, wow...makes me think of him (in a good and thankful way)
_____________________________________
I saw your picture in a paper, Honeymoon in Jamaica, she's a lucky girl
You look so grown up in your black tux, from a ball cap in a pick up, seems like another world
You and me and our big dreams, falling in love
We were two kids in the backseat, all fearless and young
I got the first kiss and she'll get the last
She's got the future, I got the past
I got the class ring, she got the diamond and wedding band
I got the boy, she got the man
Yeah there's an old you that I knew,
Fake IDs to get into those spring break bars
Back woods on a four wheel, hanging on tight, I can still feel my racing heart
And now you're cleaned up with a hair cut, nice tie and shoes
If things were different and I had a choice, which would I choose?
I got the first kiss and she'll get the last
She's got the future and I got the past
I got the class ring, she got the diamond and wedding band
I got the boy and she got the man
I got the first kiss and she’ll get the last
We each got something, the other will never have
I got the long hair, hot head
She got the cool and steady hand
I got the boy and she got the man
I got the boy and she got the man
Do you like to hear yourself talk?

Damn near choked reading this...
Ummm..YES I knew someone like this. Sadly.
This is a trapping of the ego
I often find that their in love with their thoughts,
and will talk about them just to hear themselves saying them.
Sometimes in conversation, they find that rather than
listening they're just waiting for their turn to speak.
Do you ever find yourself in a similar situation?

Love the times when "fuck ups" work in your favor
I needed new tires...
I went Friday and was quoted $800 for 4 "pull offs"
which are new tires pulled off the new car
(But can't be sold as new)
To buy them new : $1100
A savings of $300
They couldn't get me in Friday I said I'd return Monday.
He assured me the tires, off I went.
I returned today & did the whole thing over,
gave them my keys, off my car went.
Sitting...sitting...waiting, more sitting and pacing.
2 fucking hours went by.
The young man that looked after me Friday was running all over the place, just thought he was "busy"
When I finally got up and tired of waiting
(should have been 35 minutes top)
the young man returns..
"Thank you for waiting, and I apologize for the long wait"
I've been looking for those tires I assured you on Friday,
computer says I have 6, I can find 2.
(I think they're done now, as I know nothing about this)
But this will work out for you better..
So long story shortened
4 BRAND new tires, better name...installed on my car, for $595.00 all in
Retails for $1379
I'd say that's a score!!
Finally something works in my favor.

Be with those that
bring out the best
in you,
not the stress in you.
Wow this rings SO true for me, on more levels than 1
A relationship should NEVER be stressful no matter WHAT
Communication, understanding and that safe zone to share is
very much a requirement
*sighs*
I hope people snap out of a bad habit before you end up, DONE.
So very true

"I want a life that sizzles and pops and makes
me laugh out loud. And I don't want to get to the end,
or to tomorrow, even, and realize that my life is a
collection of meetings and pop cans and errands and
receipts and dirty dishes. I want to eat cold tangerines and
sing out loud in the car with the windows open and wear
pink shoes and stay up all night laughing and paint my walls
the exact color of the sky right now.
I want to sleep hard on clean white sheets and throw
parties and eat ripe tomatoes and read books so good
they make me jump up and down, and I want my everyday
to make God belly laugh, glad that he gave life to someone
who loves the gift."
Truth

I found this before I run away to my bathtub...then bed
Some will get this, others well won't.

Put a frog into a vessel fill with water and start
heating the water. As the temperature of the
water begins to rise, the frog adjust its body
temperature accordingly. The frog keeps adjusting its
body temperature with the increasing
temperature of the water.
Just when the water is about to reach boiling
point, the frog cannot adjust anymore. At this point
the frog decides to jump out. The frog tries to jump but
it is unable to do so because it has lost all its strength
in adjusting with the rising water temperature.
Very soon the frog dies.
What killed the frog?
Think about it!
I know many of us will say the boiling water.
But the truth about what killed the frog was its own inability
to decide when to jump out.
We all need to adjust with people & situations,
but we need to be sure when we need to adjust & when
we need to move on. There are times when we
need to face the situation and take appropriate actions.
If we allow people to exploit us physically,
emotionally, financially, spiritually or mentally they will continue to do so.
Let us decide when to jump!
Let's jump while we still have the strength.

I'm grateful for many things...
I'm grateful that I've pulled away from these many things...
I'm me...
Far from ideal, far from bottom, just some place in between
That's it, I'm just me.
