So late, so tired.
Had a gig tonight. Small opening gig... we've been out of the scene for a year now. Lots more shows lined up. A fella was at the show, told me to email him, set up something at the club he books.
Oh, can I tell you, it was so good to get out there again. Music is the BEST.

Yeah Gray!
SLH,
I downloaded that song and listened to it. It's very pretty. I can't say I feel that way though...yet.

"2long, you're not the old fart you'd have us believe -- not for a minute. Nice try though. Spies is telling."
Yep, I most CERTAINLY am! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
It was my DAUGHTER who 2rned us on2 Coldplay.
Bet you don't remember this one!:
"Itchycoo Park" - Small Faces
"Over Bridges of Sighs To rest my eyes in shades of green Under Dreaming Spires To Itchycoo Park, that's where I've been
(Chorus 1) What did you do there? - I got high What did you feel there? - Well I cried But why the tears there? - I'll tell you why - yyyyy It's all too beautiful, It's all too beautiful It's all too beautiful, It's all too beautiful
(Bridge) I feel inclined to blow my mind Get hung up, feed the ducks with a bun They all come out to groove about Be nice and have fun in the sun
I'll tell you what I'll do - What will you do? I'd like to go there now with you You can miss out school - Won't that be cool Why go to learn the words of fools?
(Chorus 2) What will we do there? - We'll get high What will we touch there? - We'll touch the sky But why the tears there? I'll tell you why It's all too beautiful, It's all too beautiful It's all too beautiful, It's all too beautiful
I feel inclined to blow my mind Get hung up, feed the ducks with a bun They all come out to groove about Be nice and have fun in the sun It's all too beautiful, It's all too beautiful It's all too beautiful, It's all too beautiful"
-ol' 2long P.S. Trust me, you had 2 be there. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Or this one (perhaps my favorite "Power of Now" themes):
"Remember", - The Association
"There'll come a day when you and I are one A day when we no longer need the sun Out of time and space we'll be Aside all of eternity
You'll hear my voice with different ears You'll live the dreams of timeless years Your eyes will be the silver stars That live and shine and see so far
Though thoughts and things have come between And we exist in different scenes I'll recognize you on the day When all the darkness goes away And we won't count our time by day
So sing your songs of now, my dear And make your voice so loud and clear And when the songs change - well, never mind (never mind) For they were made to stay behind (stay behind) And we were meant for nevertime ...Remember"
-ol' 2long

Hey Weaver.
What was that site you mentioned before for downloads? I use iTunes, but a lot of the truly COOL stuff simply ain't there!

I go to Overnet or eDonkey; usually a pretty good selection, especially on a weekend.
2long, it doesn't matter WHO turned you on to the music; the fact that you listen to it at all means you are young inside.

2long,
I use BearShare. Just make sure you have good virus protection. I use Mozilla Firefox and also have Norton installed on my computer.
Oh and Coldplay? I just downloaded a bunch after you guys were discussing them. I was not familiar with their music. Now I just LOVE it.

I was reading Pepper's thread about the affair being the enemy. There was weaver's response... maybe love is the enemy.
Uh huh.
The sparrow is not a good person. I'm sorry to say, I think very little of her. I hope that some day she'll be redeemed, though I don't have any faith in her.
I told her in my PBL, and I think I also told her over the phone once, that I believed in her.
I don't any more. That makes me really, really sad. It's my new challenge, figuring out where in my heart I'm supposed to keep her. I can't find a place for her in there.
Even though I'm doing very well, I'm still grieving for her. Today I shed a few tears because I can't figure out how to remember her.
Once, she was this sweet girl who adored me, and now she's this creature who just a few days ago stared me down, placed insane demands on me, and showed no trace of humility or compassion.
Without the attachment, she'd be just another person, accepted for who she is, good and bad and everything else.
Don't worry on me though. I'm okay. Just workin' through the guck.
I had a crazy weekend. Party party party.
Oh, and about Revenge of the Sith: Anakin's attachment to Padme is his undoing.

Hi Gray,
Just lettin' you know I am NOT ignoring you, my friend. You all seem to be enjoying the musical discussion, to which I CANNOT contribute.

Have only read the past two pages so while you're on the theme of music, I watched a film yesterday called "Ladder 49" with John Travolta & Joaquim Phoenix. Nothing special although my 3 daughters bawled their eyes out at the end. But it had a lovely soundtrack. Gaelic sounds, David Gray and others. If anyone likes a bit of Irish music, you might want to tune in.

I'm like NCW.
Music is something I like, but don't know much about.
I also like the irish stuff......I think.
Let's see, didn't the Irish rovers do the unicorn song?
Gray is probably too young, and that's not what you meant, but what the heck.
Gray, I was angry, but I gave it up. I feel for Weaver, hope she heals. I don't think she ever has yet.
SS
I think sometimes about all the pain in the world. I hope we can ease that here, even if only a little bit.

Gray, I've wanted to ask you how you felt about the Sparrow, if being angry was some sort of salvation, if forgiveness didn't provide the protective armament that revulsion, or even blazing animosity, could. Would you now change the way you feel about her if you could? Would you give up any of the things she has brought to you, those gifts of contributing to whom you have become, not through the horrors, but during the light of your love?
I've been reluctant to ask because I didn't want to pry; please feel free to rebuke me if you wish.<img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
SS, how are you now? I know so little about you but you always know what to say. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
My prayer is that one day soon Weaver can heal and become the person we all see her as, inside. . . maybe her recess from the board will offer her some clarity. I hope so.

Slh, You are very kind - I wish I FELT like I always knew what to say.
I had a good weekend. My problem is having so much to do I don't get to do some of the things I would like to do, such as posting more often. Oh well, it's all in the choices, I could say no -
I came to MB by accident, we had no A at our house. I realized this information could improve our M, and it has improved it. My W and I sometimes discuss these posts, and those I post to. Sometimes I ask her for advice, but she has never posted herself. I think I read for 4 or 5 months before I first posted.
We have 8 children, 5 of them are married, I turn 50 this year.
Sorry if that is too much.
You do welll yourself, I can tell you care about people, and what happens to them. I hope the things are improving for you.
Oh, and....... I have met 2long, and Graycloud in person, that's how I know so many good things about them both. I have respect and admiration for both of them.
(I held it down on purpose Gray, out of respect for your feelings, but next time, I will say ALL the good stuff, and won't hold back.)
Weaver does seem to be hurting right now. Wish we could help more.

Gray, I've wanted to ask you how you felt about the Sparrow, if being angry was some sort of salvation, if forgiveness didn't provide the protective armament that revulsion, or even blazing animosity, could. I don't call it forgiveness when the other person isn't remorseful. Even if you could forgive a remorseless person, it's hard to forgive your attacker when she's still attacking you. How do I feel about her? Lots of different things. Mostly I feel disappointment. I thought she was above all this. Some people are, you know. Would you now change the way you feel about her if you could? Would you give up any of the things she has brought to you, those gifts of contributing to whom you have become, not through the horrors, but during the light of your love? I don't know. I usually avoid those games, like asking would I give up my past with her. I admit, though, that once, when I was feeling a bottomless sort of sorrow, I said that I'd erase her from my past if it were possible. She gave me the opportunity to love her for a while. Maybe that's all she gave me. She promised more than that, but she broke the promise, and soon it'll be time for me not to protest that any more. I've protested enough. GC
