My Journal 121

Guess what we are NO LONGER discussing?

Lovely Girl is one of my best friends and I completely respect her opinion. And I have listened and understood everything she has shared. I received two more comments as well . . . Thank you! I have agreed to a middle ground in this crisis. I will not completely give up, but at the same time I will not put out nearly the effort I have been. Whatever happens next is up to someone else.

OK, moving on (hopefully for good).

I was thinking back last night to all the stories I have written over the past 10 years. There were a lot of really good one’s in there (or at least I think so). But one day my computer crashed and about 20 stories and many poems were lost forever.

I still write, but I wish I could read some of those stories again. I save my stories elsewhere now. The problem I foresee is that someday that may vanish as well. Or, in the event of my demise no one will know where these stories are located. Putting my vanity aside, it is probable that no one really wants to read those stories. But I’ve always felt that there is only one way to guarantee immortality, and that is to leave behind some words.

When I started this page I asked my friends to write about me. This was what I included in the “about me” section of this page. But since then I have removed their words. (Yup, I had my reasons). If you remember, I used to just send these to my friends via email. A journal page was suggested, a friend recommended this site, and viola I did a page.

I remember having a few rules for myself when I did this page.

Rule #1 – Never write anything personal. I guess I sort of blew that one, but I will now go back.

Rule #2 – No pictures of me. If you check you will find nothing about me anywhere on the internet. It’s a phobia of mine. I always wonder if there is someone out there somewhere that has a grudge with me regarding my past life.

Rule #3 – At least one page a week. I sort of met that requirement don’t you think?

Rule #4 – Make it fun.

So, for the most part I have kept to my rules. I don’t include my stories here very often. I occasionally include a poem, but I don’t do that often because I don’t want people thinking I am a “mamby-pamby” or something. Today I include some lyrics.

These are the lyrics to my favorite all time rock and roll song. I don’t think I’ve included this before, but if I did it is worth reading again. It’s a song about a guy who is REALLY into a girl. But the girl is taken by another man. Yet this man isn’t treating her right. So the song is telling the woman that if she decides to leave him he will be waiting.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. And I hope you download the actual song as there are some GREAT guitar licks in this one.

Great White – Rock Me!

Sweet little baby, you don't have to go
Little baby, tell me you won't go
We'd be so good together if we had the time
Bein' alone's a nowhere state of mind

Lovin' ain't no crime, oh no
I see your man ain't here, he don't care
The way of the night has gone, we'll move on
Got to find a way to face another day

I search the world for someone I'll never find
Someone who ain't the hurtin' kind
If you stay the night, oh yeah
We'll make the wrong seem right, so come on now

Rock me, rock me, roll me through the night
Rock me, rock me, roll me through the night
Rock me, rock me, roll me through the night
We'll burn in love tonight

Sweet little baby, oh, don't you go, you ain't so innocent, I know
I know your heart's like mine, oh yeah
And I will find the time to make you mine
And if your love goes bad, if it makes you sad
I'll be back for more at your door

Rock me, rock me, roll me through the night
Rock me, rock me, roll me through the night
Rock me, rock me, roll me through the night
Before the mornin' light we'll burn with love tonight
Burn with love tonight

And when your man don't care, I will be there
Still be lovin' real good love so baby now

Rock me, rock me, roll me through the night
Rock me, rock me, roll me through the night
Rock me, rock me, roll me through the night
There's no wrong or right, we'll burn with love

Rock me, rock me, roll me through the night
Rock me, rock me, roll me through the night
Rock me, rock me, roll me through the night
There's nothing left to do but make sweet love to you

So come on and rock me
