What is your heart song?
I'm listening to Rev 89- it's out of Pueblo - A college station. Hip Hop station. On Monday night they do a slow jams show. It's alright. Kind of a double edged sword though because slow jams can remind us of loves lost, friends gone etc...However it can also remind us of good times - even if a relations may have ended. One can still remember some good times. That's my new thing this past year...Good memories. For so long I used to focus on - sometimes even obsess over bad shit. To the point that I know I was the only REAL source of my own pain and sadness. That make sense? Anyhow I've gotta say that anymore it's very rare that I think about or dwell on bad things.
Here's a challenge...If you had to - Do you think you could compile a short list of songs that would express either who you are; how you see your life or how you feel? We'll call it the soundtrack of my life or my life's playlist. What do you think? I dunno. Would prolly be difficult. So many songs say so much to/about/for me. Maybe if we broke it down into say categories or maybe even chapters? Like say
1. Love - We all have our love songs that say it all - what we've been through, have, lost, miss, want, found are waiting for, are afraid of. Whatever. We all have 'em tho. and maybe
2. Parents: What, if any music makes you think of, reminds us of our parents or family. If I lived to be 100 yrs old (which is only a few years away it feels like, haha) Anything by Diana Ross, or Minnie Ripperton or Deniece Williams or Sade will immediately bring my Mom to mind. Or Patsy Cline too. And we'd have to have a
3. Friends category. I'm sure we all have music that remind us of friends. For me it's stuff like Plies - "Kept it too Real" Haystack "My First Day" anything old school like Prince, Michael Jackson, KC & The Sunshine Band, etc... Reminds me of an old crew of mine. And how about seasons?
4. Summertime - music or
5. Parties
Oh gawd that would be quite a mix of music. Over the years we've thrown some parties. We've had so many people in a duplex basement that the condensation was dripping from the pipes! Bass rocking the block - literally and people drunk enough that they tried to nap for a bit - with 6 15's and 2 18's below them pounding! Haha I've gotta say that we all loved dancing - even some of our friends that didn't care much for dancing or couldn't would still get their groove on when one partied or went out. Something I've noticed - I'm normally pretty self-conscience and tho I'm able to hide it I really have a very low self-esteem, but when I dance it's so different. Actually if anyone truly knows me and has really been around me they'd agree - but I think the only time that I am truly truly confident and without fear of failure is when I'm dancing or fighting. What the fawk is up with that?! Or maybe shooting pool. Odd.
Anyhow, what do you think of my idea? I love music. I can tell you where I was what was goin' on in my life, etc...For damned near every single song that I really like. And by that I mean those songs that we KNOW KNOW and can sing with - air guitar with, or just lose ourselves in.
Damn. I bet it would be hard for us to compile a list Huh? So many songs. Shit just love songs alone would be an enormous list to compile cuz it would have categories of its own - love lost, current loves, fantasies/daydreams etc... Lovers, family, children. The list goes on. There's songs I can't wait til Chloe can sing along with me.
For the record tho - let me just say that the greatest love song of all time is Nine Inch Nails "Closer" I've always said this too. *nods* HEH HEH
And also for the record - Best concert I've ever been to was Brian McKnight.

I have some news...I have applied for a 1/2 way house. I'm both excited and nervous as hell. I'll need some help people...I'll need work ASAP. The 1/2 way house will not let me work for myself so my computer biz work will not be an immediate option. I'll need a job where an employer will be understandable and flexible. Anyone got suggestions? I don't care so much about bennies and pay as I do about flexibility. Help me out people. Thanks!
