That could be my song, well, minus the mansion and the Maserati part....ok, and the gold records on the wall. The line "I can't complain but sometimes I still do" fits though.
Maybe Roger Miller's song "You Can't Rollerskate In a Buffalo Herd....But You Can Be Happy If You've a Mind Too", those are some lyrics to take to heart. Or maybe "Me Vida Loca" by Pam Tillis. Or Alanis Morissette "Hand In My Pocket" cause everything's gonna be fine, fine, fine....even though I'm sane but I'm overwhelmed. Songs are stories, pictures of emotions and sentiments painted with words.
I used to blog over on another "adult" site, then the behavior there got not so adult and sucked all the fun out of it. But I still have my songs, we all do. Songs that come from our life experiences. They come from having two ex husbands--one a nice guy, even though he is an eternal pessimist (the glass is not only half empty, but leaking)--the other, I thought was nice, then found out that pathological liar sociopaths who are also pedophiles really AREN'T so nice. Mine come from being a mother of 4 of the most fascinating, wondrous, amazing, aggravating humans on the Earth and living with them on the ranch where I grew up. Then there are the songs from The Cowboy, the man who I look at with daily fascination because he voluntarily joined this circus.
My life is a series of songs. Sit and listen, the porch here at The Ranch is big enough. Share your songs with me. Light a cigarette, I'll pour the Crown.
I am over the moon to be able to follow you here.
ReplyDeleteAnd I hadn't realized I was married to your first husband. :).
Red from 'there' gave me Drops od Jupiter when I returned from Paris. I have embraced it as pure perfection for this time in my life.
Crown, please!
My life is a series of songs, quotes and lyrics as well... "Live your life by mantras" is one that I hold close to my heart! I know the site you're referring to, and I am glad to be gone as well. Who knows? Maybe one day I will return, but at this point in my life, it's highly unlikely!
ReplyDeleteNow about that herd of Buffalo!!! ;)
@Bubbles--Wow, over the moon? I hope I don't disappoint. As for sharing the first husband ~heavy sigh~....the pessimism just smothered you after awhile, didn't it?
ReplyDeleteRed is a smart woman. I merely lurked on her blog "over there", enough to be awed and intimidated...."Drops of Jupiter" is an excellent cd (mental note to self, get the damn radio in the new work car fixed, then dig my own Train cd's out). The Crown is always here, just waiting on you. :D
@Pete--you and I and our music, eh? I am so glad it is one of the many things we can share, and so happy to have found Keller and YMSB and Railroad Earth and Cornmeal and....the list goes on. The kids love it as well.
The other place served it's purpose, I guess. Where else would I have found such good friends? Now come drink Crown with me and Bubbles....my back porch misses you.
