Dating can be awkward enough without wondering if he/she meets all your do's and don't on a first date. Because at the end of the day that check list could mean jack. I have had friend who said I would never date a girl with this or a guy that is like this and next thing they know they are married to the thing they never wanted in a person. dates are tricky .. so is love and you can't help who you fall for.

That Diet Dr Pepper Taste just like regular Dr Pepper and you can save 15% or more on your car insurance by switching to Geicho


On A more serious note technologically speaking we have advanced more in the last 50 years than in the 6000+ years since the first civilization the Sumerians. Although their understanding of astrology was astounding. I don't think it's so much that we haven't learned as individuals it's more that we haven't applied what we have learned as a people ... there in lies the problem ... at least that's what I think

Thank you for the welcome and would that be coffee or beer that your smiley is wrecking shop on??

I spend the holidays alone as well but perhaps more by choice than anything. I could easily go back to Pittsburgh and chill with friends but it really doesn't bother me that much. This will be my second year along since my divorce but when I was in the Army I spent 5 alone .. I guess I never got into them that much ... I'm sorry for anyone that is alone that this effect emotionally ... no one should have to be alone unless it's by choice.

Technically speaking I didn't just join, more like I just now had time to play about on here. I like to talk with interesting people so if you want to chat feel free to message me ... I'm not a difficult person to find a good topic with

An Acoustic play list I put together in iTunes

The current song that is playing is Arron Lewis from stainds version of Radioheads Creep

Thank you ... I don't know what I was thinking when I wrote that as it is the closest thing I have ever written to being happy that I have been happy enough with to keep it or show anyone ...

You opened up, My Little Dove.

My gift to you, eternal love.

I'll be the answer to all your prayers

because I'm the one that truly cares!



My Little Dove, perfect as she

will never feel sorrow because of me.

This vow of mine I'll never break

or my little dove is yours to take!



My Little Dove, what could it be,

Ten years later and your still with me

Every promise made stayed unbroken

In the beginning you thought I was "joken?"



My Little Dove, time sure fly's by.

I can't believe it's your time to die!

We've been happy through all the years,

for the first time ever you see my tears!



My Little Dove ... I'm all alone.

Heart and Soul turned hard as stone.

I'm miserable now without My Little Dove,

and promise myself to never again Love.

Used Up, Solitary Child of not.

Traveling so far in your lonely thoughts.

Pictures, Painting, writings and more.

Who do yo think he would implore?



Friendly faces, enemies and racists,

where do they go? Bring out the laces!



Chained and tormented, locked within,

how do you fair little child of sin?

Simple feelings, human emotions.

These he fears as evil notions!



Insults, compliments, love and hate.

give it all he'll never break.

In a corner, in his cell,

that's where he hides,

his own personal hell!



Tired, whimpering, paranoid brat

sit there then on your ragged mat.

Ignored ... helpless and refused.

Is that how he feels? ... maybe a little used?

Fear and anger, pride and joy

hidden away,, like a broken toy!



Stay within, leave without all

do not answer their angry calls.

Solitary Child, simple yet silent.

Does anyone care where he went?

It's a work in progress I have the melody down and how I want it to flow, whispers, screams and what not but I like where it's going.

.:: Cursed ::.

Tormented Locked within .. blessed with this curse, ripped apart by sin.

My cross to bare, this curse of mine, my love affair, close to my heart .. I hold it here. This curse of mine, my biggest fear.

Chorus

...Was I cursed at birth, wondering what life's worth. Was it you that turned the key, draining all my sanity. Will it matter when I'm gone, will it matter it won't be long .. then I'll know what life is worth ... or was I really cursed at birth

verse 2

Tormented, locked within .. blessed with this curse ... I grit at the sound for you ...I'll do worse .. took for granted .. these demons I pet.. these capable hands ... I hold it here.. this curse of mine .. my biggest fear,,

Bridge

and it's this curse that will set m free, .. it's this curse that let's me be.. it's this curse that will be the end of me...IT'S THIS CURSE THAT WILL SET ME FREE ...

PRE-CHORUS

Am I... WILL I... WAS IT YOU.. HOW WILL I... THIS CURSE IS A PART OF ME....

Repeat chorus

That's an opinion bro.. We do more Alternative, Rock stuff but I can respect a good lyricist that can flow with speed.

The stuff I hate is the crap you can tell is auto tune ...

I feel ya there I'm not so much singing with the band anymore but when I can throw a great couple of verses, a bridge and chorus together in like 30 minutes and our lead guitar player comes up with the melody within minutes of reading it that is a great feeling.

This is probably the best song / video that covers the stages of loss during a break up.

It's called Snuff and it's by Slipnot, this is not an a typical song by them as they are harder metal/rock whatever but this song is very emotional.

I'm actually watching the Alice n Chains Unplugged video right now, I'm on don't follow which is my favorite chains song but for not having done a live show in 3 years and for as thrashed as Layne was this was one of the best live acoustic shows ever.

My other favorite song right now is called Breaking Inside by Shinedown

I caught a chill
and it's still frozen on my skin
I think about why
I'm alone, by myself
No one else to explain
how far do I go?
No one knows
If the end is so much better, why don't we just live forever?
Don't tell me I'm the last one in line
Don't tell me I'm too late this time

[Chorus]
I don't want to live
To waste another day
Underneath the shadow of mistakes I made
Cause I feel like I'm breaking inside
I don't want to fall and say I lost it all
'Cause baby there's a part of me to hit the wall
Leaving pieces of me behind
And I feel like I'm breaking inside

Out here, nothings clear
Except the moment I decided to move on and I ignited
Disappear into the fear
You know there ain't no comin' back
When you're still carrying the past
You can't erase, separate
Cigarette in my hand,
Hope you all understand

I won't be the last one in line
I finally figured out what's mine

[Chorus]
I don't want to live
To waste another day
Underneath the shadow of mistakes I made
'Cause I feel like I'm breaking inside
I don't want to fall and say I lost it all
'Cause baby there's a part of me to hit the wall
Leaving pieces of me behind
Leaving pieces of me behind
And I feel like I'm breaking inside

I won't be the last one in line,
I finally figured out what's mine

Right now I'm really into Bleed, By Cold but it's actually Terry from Cold and Arron Lewis from Staind. It's an acoustic piece where they both play and sing a top one another. Check out the video if your into this type of music its well put together and arranged.

I'm feeling crossed
Take it inside
Burn up the pain
My thoughts are strange
Just like the things I used to love
Just like the tree that fell
I heard it
All is still inside
I feel it

I wanna bleed (I want to show you how I feel)
Show the hole that I have inside
I wanna scream (I want to make you feel the same)
Let the blood flow that keeps me alive

Take all these strings
They call my veins
Wrap them around
Every ****ing thing

Presence of people
Not for me
Well I must remain in tune
Forever
My love is music
I will marry melody

I wanna bleed (I want to show you how I feel)
Show the hole that I have inside
I wanna scream (I want to make you feel the same)
Let the blood flow that keeps me alive

Well, I said...
I wanna say (I want to show you how I feel)
I wanna feel
I wanna scream (I want to make your blood spill)
I wanna bleed

Won't you let me take you for a ride
You can stop the world
Try to change my mind
Won't you let me show you how it feels
You can stop the world
But you won't change me

I need music
I need music
I need music
To set me free
To let me bleed
