A song for my self-esteem...

"Hey, man, it’s been a while
Do you remember me?
When I hit the streets I was 17
A little wild, a little green
I’ve been up and down and in between
After all these years
Can you believe I’m still chasing that dream
But I ain’t looking over my shoulder

I like the bed I’m sleeping in
Just like me, it’s broken in
It’s not old -- just older
Like a favorite pair of torn blue jeans
This skin I’m in’s alright with me
It’s not old -- just older

I’m not old enough to sing the blues
But I wore the holes in the soles of these shoes
You can roll the dice ’til they call your bluff
But you can’t win until you’re not afraid to lose

Well, I look in the mirror
I don’t hate what I see
There’s a few more lines staring back at me
The nights have grown a little colder

I like the bed I’m sleeping in
Just like me, it’s broken in
It’s not old -- just older
Like a favorite pair of torn blue jeans
This skin I’m in’s alright with me
It’s not old -- just older..."
--Bon Jovi, "Just Older"

And one for my sense of humor...

"Lucky I'm insane after all I've been through
I can't complain, but sometimes I still do
Life's been good to me so far..."
--"Life's Been Good," Joe Walsh

One for my issues...

"If you look at your reflection in the bottom of a well,
What you see is only on the surface.
When you try to see the meaning, hidden underneath,
The measure of the depth can be deceiving.
The bottom has a rocky reputation
You can feel it in the distance the deeper down you stare.
From up above it's hard to see but you know it when you're there.
On the bottom words are shallow.
On the surface talk is cheap.
You can only judge the distance by the company you keep
In the eyes of the Confessor.

In the eyes of the Confessor,
There's no place you can hide.
You can't hide from the eyes (of the Confessor)
Don't you even try.
In the eyes of the Confessor
You can't tell a lie,
You cannot tell a lie (to the Confessor)
Strip you down to size,
Naked as the day that you were born,
Naked as the day that you were born.

Take all the trauma, drama, comments,
The guilt and doubt and shame
The 'what if's and 'if only's
The shackles and the chains
The violence and aggression,
The pettiness and scorn,
The jealousy and hatred,
The tempest and discord,
AND GIVE IT UP!"
--"The Confessor," Joe Walsh

One for the future...

"There's a broken beam inside of the big big bridge
I guess that whole thing is caving in
Maybe it is time I learn how to swim
I'll be a dolphin
I'll be a dolphin

Sometimes I think I'm breaking down
And other times I think that I'm fine
But something got into my engine
It slowed me down
Now I gotta turn this whole thing around
I gotta be a dolphin
I'll be a dolphin

I know that something's going to give

'Cause a broken bridge
Is a broken bridge."
-"Dolphin," Poe

One to keep going...

"Welcome to wherever you are
This is your life
You made it this far
Welcome, you got to believe
That right here, right now
You're exactly where you're supposed to be
Welcome to wherever you are

When you want to give up and your heart's about to break
Remember that you're perfect
God makes no mistakes."
- "Welcome to Wherever You Are," Bon Jovi




I have a dark, silly sense of humor that often takes the form of non-pc sex jokes, so if that kind of stuff offends you, go 'way. I quote "The Simpsons" and "MST3K" a lot. And other stuff. And I can be obsessive about subjects that interest me. There's your warning.

People find me to be a study in contrasts (just look at my interests to understand!). I'm not much for dishonesty or games disguised as "tact;" I'm pretty honest and overt with most of my feelings to the point of bluntness. That's just me. So if you ever want to know anything, just ask, and if I can answer, I will. ^_^ The only thing I ask is that you try not to assume.
