It's all her fault! I'm the victim, here. The the snow, the trees, sport driving and now Springsteen . . . Mirah caused this.
Causing me to rummage through a box of old cassettes and firing up the old-school entertainment system.

Scary thing is, I still remember all the lyrics . . . and the runs I skied while listening to each track.
That is an awesome playlist. Great for a drive!
Created at a time when I thought the answers to life's questions and problems, could be found in the lyrics of songs.
And music was the key . . . to unlock one's emotions.

ou think now?
Now . . . maybe 10% for answers, with lyrics . . . at least for the questions and problems I have now.
Down to 60% for unlocking emotions.
I think I just stopped looking for answers

I wish I still didn't have questions.
I got to the point of removing things that dont add value for me. Sure, it’s noble to have a cause, and I still help charities with cash, kind and manual labour; that’s a bit of enrichment.
I realised at some point though, questioning things that are far, far out of anyone’s control, was just adding to the negative, no matter how noble it felt.
I still vote with my vote, I still vote with my feet and my dollar, that’s about it. It’s taken me a while, but I can actually clear my head enough now to even ignore an itch. No thoughts, no headnoise, just nothing
Solid outlook and game plan.
I'm inching closer to it everyday . . .
Soon . . . I'll be there . . . soon.
Just not today.

I love that you wrote that.
Alanis Morissette was the key for me and last week I found myself listening to some Taylor Swift songs I hadn't heard before and my reaction was, "Yeah! Right on!"
But I too am not attached to it all like before. I think that is maturity. I recently read someone's post I follow on twitter and they basically said that whoever they date better like hard rock and roll music or else.
I get those sort of connections, but I could give a fuck what someone listens to. It always seems wierd that music was such a deciding factor for relationships at one time.
Sooo.....speaking of living in the past.
I've been cleaning and organizing and un-organizing and I found in my jewelry box some belly-button jewelry that I bought but never wore. (I used to wear a belly button ring) SOOOO I decided it was a great idea to put in the jewelry and see how it looks and feels. So fucking stupid.
No, nothing is infected, everything is fine, but it looks seriously stupid.
I have a navel piercing too and I still wear a belly ring. If it were seen, I probably wouldn't, I'm a little old for that shit.

Go for it, D! You're only as old as you feel. When I was a cashier at Price Chopper, I saw an old(70-80 year old) woman come through my line, dressed like she was still in her 20's with the youthful energy to match. Look at Dick Van Dyke still acting like a kid at 97. He will outlive us all.

I see those people out there too and I always admire them & hope to be like that when I'm their age.

I wish mine was a ring. That is what used to be there. This is a
1⁄
2 ring thing w/ a jewel on each end. It isn't even my birthstone. I don't know why I bought it. I recall it was the only kind. I made it through the night with it in. Maybe I will keep it.

I will dress the same until the day I die. Jeans, t-shirt and flip flops. It's just a normal look, not young or old. I'm not going to be one of those old ladies that cut my hair short and wear purple slacks.
To both Myrah and Duchess . . .
Your piercing stories were a GREAT foundation to get me laughing this morning.
I thought about me . . . putting in jewelry . . . with the price tag still attached.
And the delighted look on my lover's face, after slowly and passionately kissing my neck . . . proceeding to do the same down my body . . . and noticing my navel piercing.
" Only $20 bucks? Wow! I thought tonight was gonna cost me at least two large! "
Yeah . . . I'm the Geico whore of physical pleasure and desire.
