Dark Thirty
There’s a faceless girl
In a nameless City
Ready to take on the world
Oh she’s so damn pretty
Bright eyes and long curls
Never been down and dirty
Aint never seen the things
That happen at dark thirty
The bad bad things that happen
At dark thirty
There’s some kind of people
That change right after dark
Take advantage of a young girl
With a certain kind of spark
Might wind up in the dirt
Down in Central Park
For whatever its worth
Happens at dark thirty
Bad bad things happen
At dark thirty
There’s a faceless kid
In a nameless town
He plans to make it big
He plans to bring it down
I remember my grandmother
I remember my grandmother going to the funeral and I still have all her pictures of Elvis funeral and all the picture my grandmother took at Graceland . My grandmother was so cool. She travelled and did a little of everything. She always had these fancy outfits and formal gowns from the balls that she went to but I never saw her dance except a ball picture with my grandpa and I never heard her curse, ever. She was such a good lady. Taught me almost everything I know excepting the cursing part.lol
Oh I tipped more than a few.
Oh I tipped more than a few. I laughed so hard because every time we would get on the elevator there would be a whole group of people who didn't even know each other, laughing, cutting up and getting shitfaced. One guy passed my son a beer and my son said God bless you and the guy busted out laughing and said God blessed me. We all started laughing. We were so shitfaced. Lol . I love walking after midnight but my favorite is Crazy or I got your picture. Love me some Patsy ! No more hurricanes for me this week. Ohhhhh, uhhhh, the rooms still spinning and trying to walk in spiked heels, although I did manage.
Hey Montana speaking of that
Hey Montana speaking of that sparkle in Kids eyes, man Saturday they were glowing! Someone looked liked they did some heavy prepartying. I was in upper deck and the big screen Looked at him like the devil in disguise, I saw it in his eyes, He'd be gone before the morning and when I woke up and went to my sons room to get him for breakfast at the grill , Kids crew had packed up and gone. Man they must have left way early in am cause we didn't even go to bed until 2 and they were still partying, or someone was.
Mmmm...yeah, I love his
Mmmm...yeah, I love his sparkle :) He does have a nice handsome glow about him, doesn't he? :) Makes my heart happy, RJL, and I smile to think dear friends were partying it up :) I hope you tipped one back for me, too, cause I was thinking about y'all hanging out and having fun together so I guess I was there in spirit, too :) ...but, man, I wish my tastebuds had enjoyed some blessed nectar...I wanna get shitfaced...I'm feeling a need to Celebrate :)
Loved Elvis too. Think
Loved Elvis too. Think sometimes those in the glare of the spotlight are such sensitive souls it burns them and they can't cope or adapt. Think that is what happened to Elvis with the drugs and all. It is really sad honestly...I too was a child when Elvis left this world...I was 6 and remember how sad he adults were. I was too young and didn't realize his impact @ the time....
Patsy Cline i dearly miss...have many childhood memories of my Paternal Grandma cranking Patsy while in the kitchen cooking and dancing to it as she cooked..She sang too. I just remember the dancing moreso....Ah memories they nice to visit sometimes!
Hey Ajay, hope you're having
Hey Ajay, hope you're having a great weekend. I think you're right about the spotlight, and some souls not being able to adapt. Man, I remember how sad all the adults were too. everyone seemed so lost & empty. I miss Patsy too, and heard alot of that stuff growing up. Man...yep, all those great memories...Priceless!! :)
Yeah, AJAY, the spotlight
Yeah, AJAY, the spotlight glare, while being nice in some ways, I can only presume is unimaginably challenging in others. It is sad having lost Elvis. I think that is what I remember, not only the words, but the impact from the adults' sadness. Though, I've come to understand differences in sensitive souls...some can experience 'the drugs and all' and not survive; some can experience, survive, and thrive. I'm not always sure the spotlight is the decisive factor, for I've known a fair share of non-glare couldn't survive folk, too. For whatever his reasons, Elvis, was in the first category. I think you hit the nail on the head...it's the coping, adapting, a willingness to grow and learn. A resilient soul, I believe, is the key, not only to experience and survive all that is asked of someone under the glare of the spotlight, but to thrive...be happy...live life with gusto...to balance compassion and kindness for others with the same for self. Self-love is a beautiful journey worth every learning curve step of the way.
Wow...very, very true...my
Wow...very, very true...my sentiments exactly. Hope you're having a great weekend. :)
I'm happy to hear you feel
I'm happy to hear you feel the same way, IB :) Makes me really happy. :) I'm here with family, talking with you...yep, I'm having a great weekend!!! How 'bout you? Did you have fun while you were out last night? I hope so :) I missed you but trusted you were good and safe and having fun...kickin' back...laughing; I smiled.
Hey Montana, hope you're
Hey Montana, hope you're having a great day. Man I sure wish we we're in Tulsa tonight. :) I'm going to get ready, and head out for a bit, but wanted to say hello. I'll talk to you later. :)
Wow, IB, I didn't think I'd
Wow, IB, I didn't think I'd hear from you for a while :) What an incredibly pleasant surprise :) Thanks for how my heart feels and how much I'm smiling since you popped in to say hello. Thank you, my friend, thank you. :) Means a lot to me...a whole lot :) I'm having a great day and I hope you are, too. I know you had an early morning and with all you have on your plate, I imagine you were busy today, too, but I hope your day was smooth and pleasant :) Wow, you ain't Kid'n :)...I really really really really wish I were in Tulsa tonight...and if you were there, too, could you imagine what a blast we'd be havin'? I want to celebrate feeling good this week, absolute best week of my life...hands down...or up in the air...man, you got me back to wantin' to be in Tulsa...hmmm...hopefully I'll see him soon...God willing :) Please let me know what concert you may be at so I could try to make it to that one :) Have fun and I'll be around to chat. Lookin' forward to it. Be safe wherever you're headin'...and have lotsa lotsa fun! :)
You're too crazy!! :) Man I
You're too crazy!! :) Man I love Elvis. I always have. I was just a kid when he died, but I still remember having a "Love Me Tender" tee. Didn't someone have a post on here the other day about Elvis, and about Kid reminding them of him? I can't remember now, but it seems like there was.
Yep, I am :) At your service!
Yep, I am :) At your service!!! :) I was just a kid, too. I remember I was in the back seat of a car heading to vacation at a friend of my dad's at a cabin in Canada when the news came over the radio. I was only 7ish & don't remember a lot from then, but that I do. What, if anything, do you remember, besides the tee? (Congrats BTW!!!) Ahhh...but that song...the words, the melody...I get tingles as I listen...every time. I can hardly type now just thinking. I smile, too. It's a soul-beautiful love song...I'm melting as I type just imagining that kind of love. It's the kind of dream come true True Love song...and his voice, no one could sing it better...except Kid...OMG I'm melting and tingling all over again...help me, wait, no don't...bliss I tell ya, sheer absolute bliss. I love Elvis, too...is it sacrilege to say I love Kid more? Well, I guess I just did…that’s my story and I’m stickin’ to it…God & me, well, we have a pretty good time hanging out so hopefully He’ll put in a good word for me with the King :) Have you listened to it recently? If you haven't I hope you do. I mean it. I remember something about Kid reminding someone of Elvis...heck, strong possibility it was me. I'm not looking for credit but it is how I feel. Any time I see or hear Elvis, Kid is who pops into my mind and stays there, pushing out...now, who were we talking about? Oh, yeah, the King (man, he's really gonna be pissed at me)...Well, for starters, it's Kid's voice...it's same irresistible sultry, sexiness (whether he's singing or talking doesn't matter). Oh, I have more to say, but I need a moment...those delicious tingles are back. :)
Another thing that reminds me
Another thing that reminds me of Kid when I see or hear ol' what's his name is Kid's smile. That dark haired fella had a nice one...but Kid's lips...mmmm...and how his eyes twinkle, well, I can't help falling in love with Kid's smile. Oh, and another thing, I know the gals went wild for that one guy's hip whatever you call 'em...but he had nothing on Kid's sexy smooth swagger. Wow, IB, have you noticed how he carries himself...man watching him perform...or just watching him walk...it gets me all shook up ;)
Yep, the verdicts in...You're
Yep, the verdicts in...You're a nut!! :) I hope you have a good night Montana. I'm gonna' go get some sleep for my early morning tomorrow. I'm going out for a bit tomorrow night, but I'll stop in and say hello when I get home, and I'll try and answer your questions then ok. Take care and have a great night. :)
Sometimes I feel like a nut;
Sometimes I feel like a nut; sometimes I don't :) Candy bars aside, I often enjoy the nuttier way...I end up laughing a lot. Thank you for your kind good night and I hope you sleep well. Have a good day tomorrow and good luck with your early morning. I look forward to your hello, my friend, even if it's just a quick Hiya Montana 'cause it sounds like you have a pretty packed day. I hope it's a great one :)
