My dad's better than your dad, he's got eight cars and a house in Ireland (SING IT)

So I FINALLY had the chance to watch the "leaked" four episodes of Flashpoint this weekend (I was waiting for troyswann! Okay, not really, I was waiting to finish my DSSS because Hugh is REALLY DISTRACTING, though the recent bout of Flu on my f-list made my attempts at virtue sort of in vain--is there a lesson there? But Sal was here and I'm glad I waited

it sounds like they are starting to be friends again

That's honestly the key for me. If that's the case, then I have no reason to be sad. (I mean, not that any of this is ANY of my business anyway, but you know what I mean.) I think it's just that I know just enough about the whole deal (with the whole band, not just Hugh and Trent) for my overactive imagination to fill in the rest, y'know? And aside from that interview Hugh gave recently, where he said they talk about a reunion periodically (which is hard for me to entirely believe; it seems like maybe one of those things you SAY, but I hope it IS true, because that would entirely alleviate my overinvested sadness), the last thing I have in my head is an article about Trent's 40th birthday party not long after the band broke up, and it was this surprise deal at a bar in Toronto, and Tim was there but Hugh and Dale weren't, and people requested Headstones songs and they couldn't play them because the Headstones weren't, anymore, and... I'm just stuck on that, and it's so sad! I see your point entirely, I just... I can't get past how hard it must have been to sever that kind of relationship, and to have to sever it completely. I think you're right that people change and that's just the way it is and that doesn't invalidate the past or make it not worthwhile or meaningful. But still, the irrational part of my brain hears Hugh talk about how much he loved those guys, and how they were his family, and I can't help going, "Aww, BOYS" and being sad. Even though you're totally right!

oh my god that is the sadddest thing i've ever heard. oh TRENT. but re: the interview you're talking about, was that the same interview where hugh said that he talks to them all a few times a year and stuff? that seems like a really good sign, like he's in a place now where he can start to be friends with them again and know that he doesn't have to go back to being past!hugh to do that.

anyway, i totally agree, breakups and losing close friends are AWFUL and you never get back that piece of yourself...but it seems like that's what hugh is ALL ABOUT, how you take the pain with the good stuff and live your life and fucking enjoy it, you know? hugh is so obviously happy that it's hard for me to get too upset about it. (it'd be nice to know more about how trent's doing, of course!)

oh god i want a reunion SO BAD. anyway hi, nothing wrong with a little overinvesting, it is what we do here!

[brynnmck]

Isn't that SAD? (Well, actually, now that I go back and read the article [scroll down], it's more upbeat than I made it sound, I was just reading between the lines. Heh.)

Anyway, yes, I was talking about that interview, and you're right, it bodes well. (I don't know why I have a hard time believing that's actually true--it's not like Hugh would have much motivation to lie about that stuff. I think it's just that he's pretty vague about it, so I wonder if he just doesn't want to get into it because it's personal. Which makes me feel that much more stalkery! *facepalm* But anyway.)

it seems like that's what hugh is ALL ABOUT, how you take the pain with the good stuff and live your life and fucking enjoy it, you know? hugh is so obviously happy

I know, I totally agree! I think it's more me being sad that they're not friends anymore, rather than about whether they're happy (though I, too, would like to know what's going on with the rest of the guys, at least aside from Dale's MySpace page *g*). And obviously part of it is my own woe that the Headstones broke up--I know it was right for them, but WHAT ABOUT MEEEE? Hee. I don't know. I am crazy!

oh god i want a reunion SO BAD

OMG ME TOO. SO VERY VERY BAD. And I would obviously do whatever I had to to go, but even if I couldn't go, even if it was only for one show, just to know that it COULD happen and DID happen would be SO AWESOME.

I looove the I'm Hugh Dillon I'm A Fuckin Rockstar side of him still cause he made it so..
