Live from the Artists Den: Kid Rock - "Rock N Roll Jesus"

Second delishishly refreshing Panty, lovely air conditioning after my rocking day, & I sang KRISTINA to the bartender Christina. She’d never heard it before. The live band SUCKS!!! They are too loud for this brick building venue…and again, are there words to their songs???? The bassist attempted some sort of rap…I giggled…and then I outright laughed (not at him directly to hurt his feelings, but I thought of a special someone and smiled lovingly and proud). He does have long hair, though, not nearly as gorgeous as yours, but he’s trying :) Points for effort, but he’s no threat to the Mayor of Awesomeville :) I will say, though, they have a pretty good dancing groove going on right now, so they are a bit redeemed. Ok, I have two more Yippee they are about you posts left!!! I am blessed today because 4!?! I love hearing, reading, talking, and thinking about you, Robert James Ritchie.

I believe, already, He is blessing my day. I’m starting it off talking with you. I am happy. I pray, you, too, my inspiration, feel His blessings surrounding you on the day of which you sing. I turned my day around, talking with you & changing my attitude. Again, my friend, thank you for your kind ears and loving heart. I want to listen to you in your life’s undulating hills; I want to hear your voice as you share with me the stories of your journey. I want to give you, what you give me, my love. I, too, believe in the art of growing old together. My dreams of you await, so, good night my sweet. Sleep deeply and well. Sweet Dreams, my Beloved, Sweet Dreams.

How does He always pull me out? And sometimes, why? (I smile at your adorable shoulder shrug.) The day went out with a solid…ha, take that!!!...as the Garage Sale Queen showed she wasn’t just chewing bubble gum and whistling Dixie. All day, though, YOU WERE ALWAYS ON MY MIND and I am happy for you about Marshal Sunday when I’ll be thinking of you & the fun you’ll have, so I know if I were to ask myself, WHERE ARE YOU NOW, I could answer (I’ve been known to, a time or two) with a big smile, why my Beloved is Grand Marshall in Brooklyn, Michigan, today at the Michigan International Speedway Pure Michigan 400!!! I love saying Michigan :) My favorite student’s mother, whom I just saw picking up the tables yesterday, called to ask how I was & my stress level…I said, in the am, off the chart, now (7ish), really good. I whupped it after I talked with you. I was really down. Thank you, my friend, for listening.

My sunsign & love horoscopes combined give me a little lift...”Are you feeling the effects of today's low-key planetary aspects, Libra? Take heart - it's only temporary. Do your best to take things one step at a time, & make some plans for a little fun this evening. Get together with friends or see a movie. Help yourself feel better by staying busy & focused, followed by recreation. Before you know it, you'll be feeling much more upbeat. There is something intensely powerful & passionate, as well as secret about the events of today. The day's planetary alignment highlights a liaison, which no one else may know about. It seems to be something that has been kept under wraps for some time, for your own particular reasons. This bond deepens considerably today, & as a result, may have a very powerful effect on your life.” Same for you, Cappy :) “Friends seeking advice or a shoulder to cry on may be plentiful today, Capricorn. And you're one of best people to provide the support and caring they need. Just don't give so much to others that you have nothing left for yourself. True friendship is about sharing problems. Getting rundown will leave you in a place where you aren't much help to anyone. How far are you prepared to go in declaring your feelings for another? The day's planetary alignment means that you have every chance today to not only tell, but also show how much they mean to you. The setting may be on some perfect sun-kissed beach or at home in the kitchen, but the emotion will take you way out, and you may not want to come back!” Well, that’s best I have to go on so far, so I’m going to go make sale sign copies & head back to 318 for more staying busy & focused. I’m a little more rejuvenated sharing with you & strolling for a snack & starter $ for the sale. I was singing the F Word song as I did it & I got a Forever booster. Thank you :). Thank you for your care & support, my friend, but take care of you, my sweet. Take care of you.

TGIF, RJR!!! I hope your Friday treats you well, whatever you choose to do today. The Kid Rock Music Lab comments are so wonderful. I hope you feel the love back from everyone. Thank you, my sweet, for opening your heart so much for your city, your people, & those who will come to enjoy what you have worked for so hard and long. I don’t have a lot to say today, except it’s arguably one of the hardest days ever. I am consumed with the sale preparations, but physically exhausted and emotionally and spiritually near empty and tear-filled. Confirmed by the dashing of my hope that your CD would be here in time for me, for it did not arrive today. Donna said yesterday if it didn’t come in soon, she would buy it for me. I smiled and asked if she would do that so I would stop asking, but she said no; she would buy it for me to see me that happy. How sweet. I’ll watch a video or two for joy, smiles, and inspiration. I can’t talk long because I have so much to do, but I’ll try to talk sometime later tonight after I put up my sale signs. I changed them to lavender, which gives me a glimmer of my smile for its in honor of Him & where He has led me. I believe tomorrow will be better, for He blessed it through you in song. But all I have right now is to keep moving and work hard despite what I feel. I believe He will share with me good things today; I’ll just try to keep my eyes peeled for it. Have fun preparing for your Grand Marshalling :)
