Thank u for posting this song
to all Minglers Sir.

I always question motive & relevance
when someone posts something I am interested.

I have realized the danger of posting
songs on the forum,
aside from it is too structured that
lyrics cant be customized,
and a word or two can be interpreted literally,
what I dislike more is when a song is
used to mislead.

I have promised myself to be open minded
and be less skeptical but
when songs like this are posted
I always interpret it literally.
Since I do not know u & never interacted with u
in instant message.

So for me this song is:

-about someone who have an ex,
that he took for granted, that
the singer have not gotten over yet
and the singer wish his ex well.

Personal Take:

It is a beautiful song,
but I cannot relate.
I have love my ex with all my heart & soul.
Walking away from that person,
is the hardest I have ever done
and left me in pain & heartbreak for many years.
But my ex never took me for granted.
I choose to walk away because I know
my ex deserves someone better.

My long way of saying that,
just like other posts in the forum,
I will treat this as inconsequential
personally,
instead of treating it as misleading-
and that your motive is that u have an
ex here in the forum that u want to
dedicate this song.

Good luck with your ex Sir.
All the best.

I like the image Sir.
I miss my father more.
I dont have time to check on the video.
I do not know what to say about the lyrics of the song.

What differentiates a song from a poem or an ode
for me is-
Songs have souls, the music itself is the spirit.
Lyrics are just icing to the cake.
Until I will be able to listen to the song,
I will hold back my opinion on this song.

Since we never instant message Sir,
I will take it u want to share this song
to all Minglers.

But if say, the song is dedicated to me,
and I am not interested with the man
who dedicated it to me,

I am hoping the man will have a
a good healthy dose of sportsmanship
once I will tell him,we are not compatible:

I sure hope, he will find it
in his heart to dedicate one of my father's
favorite song for me, instead of wasting
his time & my time -

Walk Away - Matt Monro

"Walk away, and live
A life that's full
With no regret
Don't look back at me
Just try to forget
Why build a dream that cannot come true
So be strong, reach the stars now
Walk away, walk on"

I read the lyrics Sir.
But I do not have the time to check
the video.

To be upfront, I am a bit wary & skeptical
to motive.
So until my gut tells me it'safe,
I always categorize things as 'inconsequential".
And not stress myself over thinking about it.
Time have a way of telling.

Luuuuuuuuu!:
Thank u for posting your song hahaha
Misty eyed with your song choice hehe.
Thank u so Ma'am I appreciate it

Guess I will just have to stay,
to prove u wrong then

You're Welcome.

Another one, a personal favorite -

Do u sometimes watch the moon?
I do.
When things are not right
in my world,
I always watch the moon.
Watching it, engulf in the
coldness of the night
always brings me comfort
& hope.

It is funny that as I get older
I still end up with
the moon.
Hangin' around with the moon
seems crazy to other people,
but I truly find it peaceful.
Almost meditative.
Almost.

But even the moon sometimes
are hidden in the clouds:)





Rainy Days & Mondays - Carpenters

Talkin' to myself and feelin' old
Sometimes I'd like to quit
Nothin' ever seems to fit
Hangin' around
Nothin' to do but frown
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down

What I've got they used to call the blues
Nothin' is really wrong
Feelin' like I don't belong
Walkin' around
Some kind of lonely clown
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down

Funny, but it seems I always wind up here with you
Nice to know somebody loves me
Funny, but it seems that it's the only thing to do
Run and find the one who loves me (the one who loves me)

What I feel has come and gone before
No need to talk it out
We know what it's all about
Hangin' around
Nothin' to do but frown
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down

Funny, but it seems that it's the only thing to do (only thing to do)
Run and find the one who loves me

What I feel has come and gone before
No need to talk it out
We know what it's all about
Hangin' around

Nothin' to do but frown
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down
Hangin' around (hangin' around)
Nothin' to do but frown

Rainy days and Mondays always get
Me down

Yes as a matter of fact I do.
When u mentioned 13 pics I get baffled.
I checked my photos.

When u said u are offended, I checked
several threads.

Am I wrong in my assumptions?

Tough luck then.

I feel the same way too,
I feel people should say what
is in their mind.
I feel it is important to say
what needs to be verbalize.

Most of the time I am clueless
of others expectation.
Most of the time I did not know
I have stepped on toes.

That doesnt mean I feel the
need to always apologize & kiss-a@@e@@
because of my opinions & takes.
I have just much right as everyone else.

What escapes me & always baffled me
is why the singling out?
Maybe there is a need for me to change
something based on how I presents my opinions.

Just saying.

With all due respect Sir, ^^^^^I would have buy this,
If this site been one of the Active Citizen's
Network site or socio-political site Sir.

We know it is a dating site forum.
Where can I place political clout on a dating website?
What could be gained?
We are just getting all to know each other.
We ask questions, we give takes, we express ourselves.
Where can I place politics in the middle of it?
Am I to kiss-a@@ to everyone who thinks this is their domain?
All I want is to express. Is that too much to ask.

We know it is a dating site forum.
Where can I place monetary gains?
Are u suggesting that men here in
the forum will just throw in their actual
hard earned money without the benefit
of checking, confirming & investigating?
because of posts?
because of just words?
because of just opinions?
How ridiculous.

I thought all adults here knows that the forum
is a getting to know.
It should match with what is in the instant message.
If I said in the forum, no money should be involve
and that I am not ready to love and be loved,
Would a man instant message me to ask for my
personal info? Why should he? would he want me to call him
stupid & think of him as an idiot, for not reading my posts.
where is the logic?
Are all men here bunch of idiots & ninnies
that can be twirled?

Lets say, I want to negate what I say in the forum,
when a man will instant message me, will he not
ask me, "I thought u said in the forum u are not ready to be loved yet"?
If I behave differently from what I have said in the forum.
Is he that stupid to not match my words with what I said in the forum?
Will he not abide his actions base on how he knew me in the forum?
where is the logic?

I still cant understand and follow u on foothold and control,
I cant grasp it, what is to control.
It escapes me why there is a need of a foothold?
Are u suggesting that there is a need for leverage?
For what? Why?

I agree with you though on how u see truth?
But wouldnt it be safer to be skeptical of what
the other person is saying in the forum?
Wouldnt it be safer to not believe everything & get
totally sold out until, u decided to get to know
that person in instant message?
So u can compare & match & ask for further confirmation.



^^^Indeed.
I will echo the sentiment.


-----

No need to respond to this post Sir,
if u do not feel like doing so.
I am just pointing out.
I am just musing & wondering.
I am expressing what I find
illogical & logical.

it's not working, they offend me...

They frustrate me. I like people who can think out of the box.. Not from inside it



Then we may differ indeed of how we see things of what is in the box & what is outside the box?

I have check the other threads u have mentioned.
For me both sides have merits &
both have legitimate reasons.
I cant still see the relevance though.
Maybe I am just too dense.
I never claimed, I am of 1 u intellectual people.

Let me borrow words for this:

"I freely admit to being somewhat in the dark
when it comes to sorting out the ever greater
emphasis people in politics have placed in the
..media."

Either it is misleading or Bullseye.
I am very particular in what I read.
Everyone has always the right to skip posts.

What I cant understand until now is why single out?
What makes me baffled always is, there are lots of
other opinions to focus on.
Other quotes,
Other news to focus on,
Other people to focus on.
Other posts to read.

What is it?
Maybe it is high time
someone will explain..
is it the way it is presented?
is it too dramatic? theatrical?
It is not even screaming..
it is just a question,
it is just a musing, wondering why?
what is so offensive, that it is
always singled out?

if it is that big deal on your sensibilities,
dont go near Starbucks.

Continue what u are doing.
U have the right to express your opinion
and how u feel about this said issue.

ah okay.
if u say so.
if that is how u see it.

Wow!

@ Sassyeuro2

Still have not read yet the tarantino & starbucks thread-
Just wondering about boycott?

Boycott - withdraw from commercial or social relations with (a country, organization, or person) as a punishment or protest.

I am beginning to see the picture..slow as I am at figuring out things,
and here I thought we could all learn from Harry Truman's words.

Here is the verbatim:

"President's from the time of George Washington
had been subjected to attacks & abuse.
It is a way that a free & open society keeps
its government institution on the alert.
It is a small price to pay for an aroused
and active opinion"

...i have a feeling, at the end of this day, someone
would need a pin for an instant "balloon ego"
..withdraw as a punishment or protest? really?
come to think of it-
...someone should really be flattered in a weird way.

let me check the thread..

No,I havent yet. Let me check.

Sir? care to explain?

For some reason, I really can relate to this.
If they can just give us a clue..why would they think that way,
it might come a long way to understand other's perspective better.

But one can only wonder why?

Is it possible that they have
misinterpreted my words
& misunderstood me?

After all, they know I am
not ready for anything.
I just want to express.

or is this the case of -

"My actions reflect
who I truly am and
their interpretation of them
reflects who they truly are."

I'm still wondering.

This is for me a perfect example
why there is a need for
American citizen to wake up.

"Many are working too hard or
watching too many sitcoms to think
about politics.
Let alone, try to make an impact
for social change.
Every regime tried to drum into
your heads that things cannot be
diferent, like this one,
your government now has the
electronic media & the big money
to indoctrinate the population"

So thats it then?

History tells us that change is
imminent.
People have to relearn to think
for themselves.
Reading critically & challengingly
must come back into fashion.
Differing views must not only be
tolerated but encourage to
come up with something
actually substantive for a resolution.

Why cant people think?????
Isnt it high time to think
again of the Five Pillars of
New Democracy?

Have american citizens
truly forgotten that:

"Grassroots movement for democracy
& human rights are in the American
bloodstream.
No country. Let me repeat that,
no country has ever had as many diferent
& powerful social movement as the USA"

Refugees? Can u think first of yourself
before refugees?
What?have u gone all couch potatoes
politically?Apathetic politically?
Powerless to get up from the couch
politically?

I am not built to protect & lead.
I am built to wonder, to ask why?
From my corner of the world,
I am an oldmaid hillybilly
who works on a small scale corporation
in a very small country, but
I cant stop wondering why the citizens of
america, allowed their economy to teeter,on the
verge of collapse & u allow your
government on this refugee issue?
what happen to social movement?

^^

I cant help but respect this perspective.



I know I will be stoned again for this,
but, I just cant grasp why?

why cant we put into account
the Historical & Political clout into the equation?
What is it with numbers & technical modeling?

So, USA is still at the top
in terms of Health but failed in
Safety & Security, that is why they are on
the 11th & did not make it to Top 10?

Okay, so more wealth does not equate prosperity
because we have to take into account "well being"?

My point?
I find it absurd to compute
& base countries ranking in numbers,
instead of magnitude & influence?

I find it absurd to dignify an
index beyond economics.
I suppose if this is really realistic,
a lot of people will be more than
enthusiastic to migrate to Denmark
because of

"the joy of everyday life and the prospect of an even better life in the future"

than to USA?

What does it say to that specific index?
In fact what does it say to those
"variables" that comprises the sub indexes?

Well being?
slower rise to living standards then?
Reality check wise,
I just wish the Legatum Institute,
will incorporate more economic perspective
to help people lead more prosperous lives,
at least in terms of normative content
and basic concepts.


Just saying.

For Ms.Sherrie:

Keeping distant & not too
attached is for me,
still the best way to
rock & express oneself -

May I just break one of
my personal rule today,
only for today-

This is how I see u,
as I read thru all your posts
in your Hideout thread Ma'am..



what made me grateful of
your Hideout thread is the fact,
that there are still women
who may lack meekness
and may never be demure,
but we have the spirit
to express who we are,
we dont apologize for what
we have become -
we just rock & dance
to each perspective music,
regardless of how others see it.

Keep on rockin..
