So some relationships are a trial ground....Me and J, have called it quits officially today. So I'm listening to some old school metal ballads - 80's style of course, to get me through tonight.
I've learned much more about relationships and commitment in this relationship than I have ever in my entire life. Thinking back now, I realise that I fall in love easily and would give anything for that person, but I also realise I'm a creature of habit, and I need to have my own familiar territory....I need lots of space to sort things out, and because I'm a creature of habit, it takes a looooonnnggggg time for me to commit, but I get there always with good intentions.
I am a true romantic though, and I believe in love and what it can accomplish and break through! I still hope we can start over and fall in love all over again.
Well my playlist is good, I got a glass of vino (or two or three) and I have tucker in the oven and I'm thinkin' of what is and could be.
Live with passion, make every day special and fall in love every single day....
Here's a song on my playlist....1974's Love Hurts by Nazareth (ok not 80's metal ballads but a great song that suits the moment :))
Laters peeps!

Complacency
I've been deeply in love over the last few months....but now I'm wondering what happened to my "love mojo".....I always said, at my age if I fall in love it would be WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get)....iow, I'm set in my ways and not prepared to change....
I though the words "I Love You", would make all the difference....as if to make everything alright, as if to make all our issues dissipate for the luster of love....but without comittment one person in the relationship is not being loved (as much)....one person is bending more than the other.....one person is left less fulfilled.
The fulfillment lasts for a while, but if there's an attitude of WYSIWYG, then that happiness becomes replaced gradually with dead air.....a void that is less fulfilled.
I'm thinking about all those people in relationships, with a busy schedule, kids and just the weariness of life.....how do you make it work....but more importantly, hats off to you all....take a bow, because you deserve it!

Happy St. Patrick's Day
March 17th - St. Patrick's Day. The most famous Irish saint who brought Christianity to a then pagan Ireland in the 4th Century, is one of the most venerated Saints in the Church, and is the patron saint of Ireland.
Despite it being smack in the middle of lent, I believe (but am not 100% sure) that all those celebrating this day are allowed to break their fast and partake in song, dance, meat and drink - a day of pardon granted by the Church.
And here's a classic performance by Sade - performing an old Thin Lizzy (Irish Rock Band) hit "Still In Love with You"....Classic Sade - smooth and sexy!
Peeps - chat later!

Emo Rockers Killed in Iraq
Hello there readers, it's been a hell of a long time...way too long. I've been busy in a new relationship and I needed to spend some time with my partner....but I have been trying to keep up to date on your blogs and although I may have not been leaving any comments I've been reading them through....
On a different note, I was just reading on BBC news that there were a number of "killings" (more like murders), for "emo youths" in Iraq. In the West, "emo" is a term used to describe a particular type of rock..."emo rock"....it's essentially a hardcore, post punk, teen angst driven force of music that somehow relates to kids who can relate to these raw "emo-"tions.
Like any particular brand applied to rock music, there is an associated style....e.g. goth music fans dress in black, wear heavy black make-up and almost look like they are corpses....punk rockers in the 70's, had their ripped jeans, and dyed hair....but you get my drift.
Similarly "emo" rockers, wear black, and look introverted....as if they have a dark history and are probably considered "outcasts", whether in their teen school life, or home-life.
Back to the story....it seems that the Iraqi authorities, think these "emo" rockers are devil worshippers simply because they wear black out in public and also because they listen to rock music....isn't this so 70's? Of course a huge part of this issue, is that of religion rearing it's ugly head. In a state like Iraq, Islamic law is the order of the nation, and anything, which deviates from the norm, is clearly in violation of Islamic law.
Over the past couple of months, 58 teenagers (mainly men) have been beaten to death or shot because of the way they dress, and the music they listen to. One follower of "emo" said that he's afraid to wear black out in public....because he is stared at, and he is considered a devil worshipper....
I always say that I'd never go the these nations...some of my cousins are Islamic, but growing up in the West brings more tolerance....I mean back in the 80's they loved and listen to Whitesnake and Bon Jovi.....but have a nation that considers the West the Great Satan, and you have a breeding ground for igornace.
In case you're wondering about some "emo" bands, here's my Top 10 bands:
10. Hawthorne Heights
9. My Chemical Romance
8. 30 Seconds to Mars
7. Taking Back Sunday
6. Paramore
5. Rise Against
4. Linkin Park
3. Papa Roach
2. Thursday
1. The Smiths (Of course it had to be an 80's act - they invented the melodrama but never really had the angst packed in as some of the 90's bands)
Anyways peeps - Take care of yourself
