    Why can't people? Poem/song
    rjl1969 says (19 Feb '13)

    I never understood the unwanted stares
    People being mean , troubled souls
    Not seeming to care
    Never understood jealousy and hate
    Couldn't be, shouldn't be
    Anyone's fate
    I never understood the mean gestures and pokes and jabs
    Name calling to hurt
    Like knifes they stab

    It's just unjust
    It's just unfair
    Why can't people seem to care
    Why can't happiness everyone share

    I never understood greed
    Taking more than one should
    Taking more than they need
    Physically or verbally giving a beating
    Lying , stealing
    And both ways cheating

    It's just unfair
    It's unjust
    Why can't people care
    why can't we all for each other be there

    I never understood no trust
    Not giving to others
    And hearts full of lust
    I never understood killing
    Unnecessarily taking a life
    And people unwilling
    To change a cycle or break the chain
    To not cause hurt
    To not inflict pain

    It's just unfair
    It's unjust
    For in life
    We need love, caring, and trust

Hahahaha . I just read the messed up outta order posts and my conversation was about using the computer and the graven image and I guess it how you use it and I came back to say like anything , right? Meaning it how you use it, like anything else and this freaken post split the comments apart so one probably has no freaking idea what I was talking about and now I'm having to xsplain the sitiation .lol someone's got to fix that!

Hahaha Heehee :) Thanks for splainin cuz yeah, I was at a loss for that one! LOL :) I mean, I'm open to trying most stuff, but liking it enough to try it again, well, I've learned through experience to slow my ass down a bit to figure out if liking something is also good for me LOL :) Loved your words 'graven image' a lot, a whole lot...and I agree, it's how you use it...like anything...ok, I'm back on the right post thread :) P.S. Yeah, sometimes it gets a little confusing on these threads when we're all talking, but I try to slow down a bit to see what I've missed...cause there's probably something LOL ...again metabolized blonde :)

Me and my husband just laughed so hard until we were crying and I can't remember what it was but it must have wiped him out because he's out like a light. If I think long and hard enough I'd probably remember but by the time I go to bed and get up , I won't remember a thing. Ahh Friday !

Wrong place, wrong time but at least I experienced it. I shouldn't be talking, I have a friend that competes yearly in a drag miss whatever, I don't remember, and it's freaking so funny you have to smile. He's worse than a damn girl, not to knock us girls. He would be like do you have some jewelry I can borrow. I'd fix him up ! I caught one of my sisters friends, he looked just like Kirt Russell , shopping in the woman's shoe section at nordstroms and he wore a 10 just like me, 8 men's . I know this because I looked down and he was in my section. I said hey Russell, what are you doing here and he looked like a dear in the headlights and said shopping for a Halloween costume. I wanted to bust out but restrained myself and said oh, well they have good shoes for that here. Lmaoritf! Ooohhhhhhh, oh that hurts. Hahahaha ha

And the techno reminds me too much of the gay bars my sister used to drag my ass to. Pun intended, man those guys looked better than I did and I thought that's just wrong. I'm talking thigh highs, bustiers. I'm like what!!

I was comparing artist w my husband seeing who could compare to Billy Joel and we came up w Elton John, and Stevie Wonder and in order I would have to put them Stevie , man I love him, Billy Joel even though he made less hits that Elton his songs just have special meaning w me. But Elton had a top 40 for a consecutive 26 years according to stats which got me thinking, man Kid has been doing it for a while but 26 years of top 40 and then I thought, yep he'll make it . Now it's got me wondering. Damn computers. Gotta love for their knowledge but they are the graven image too. I guess it's how you use them. Lol

My car and in the house. Right not the car has the one w blue jeans and rosaries, the house has rebel soul and oh my truck has cowboy one. Lol . Not that I'm not into it or anything. I rarely listen to other music other than my iPad w pandora during day and he's in that rotation too.

Yeah I like country too, and classical, hip hop, rock, blue grass, jazz, just about everything but techno.

I like most, too, and I've had too many gay friends not to have some appreciation for limited amounts of techno :) LOL :) I have a hard time listening to the really anggry screaming yelling stuff. I try to listen but it's definitely not what's in my CD player...oh, what would that be, Anna? Why Rebel Soul, of course! :) It's been there pretty much ever since it came out :)
