This, at least the mood of it, and the blackness of it,sums up my feelings of anger and pain when I see what my mother is going through.Dark, yes...but also very good.
I do, I shall...I will You hurt, I hurt, we soothe,we touch I yell, you yell we scream, we stalk....out the door we busy ourselves making plans... meanwhile, life happens we are blessed with child we feed,we protect,we clothe we cover cuts and scrapes we guide through each day we yell, they yell...we watch them grow soon enough, they are teens, and you know teens know all... at least they think so we age, they expect the same from us we are tired, we are overworked they want the name brands, only the coolest we watch them choose a girlfriend we dont approve we yell, they yell they date her anyway they call us late december night... cold,tired,broken down she said goodbye she made him cry he says he's sorry, and will we please listen we shelve any hurt they've put upon us we dig in and stop the earth from spinning on its axis... ANYTHING to make it better for them we age, they see us less...they have kids, a new address the distance grows so quickly, and so too do their kids time has done its worst upon us weary ones will they protect us? will they teach our grandchildren to? will they sit in their quiet moments...and remember, look back fondly as they remember how remember how we stopped the world for them remember the colored band aids remember the thousands of tears dried remember to tell all of this when we've died

I heard the singer of this group David Draiman say "what point is there to making music if it doesnt make the little hairs on the back of the neck stand up.This, and many of their other songs does that for me.Hope you enjoy as well!
Hello all! This week has been a very strange,frustrating and sad week.In the space of 7 days I've lost a friend,ran errands all over,spent 12 hours on a roof ripping it off and cleaning it for the roofers to come,slept, got up and ripped up damaged plywood from the front of said roof,then went about cleaning up all of the damn shingle fragments that flew off the roof onto the ground/bushes, driveway, etc.The lions share of it is done...but now the task of yard work and weed wacking, edging etc. begins.Well, I must say that the roof looks great, and it is very satisfying to stand back and look...although 24 hrs ago I was sore as hell,dirty as a two bit whore, and crankier than Burgess Meredith on an ice fishing expedition. We are going to Home Depot in a few minutes, as we over-bought supplies and have some moolah left.I have a new weed wacker on my wish list, and I am excited to go get that little fucker!The kids were excited all the past few days as we prepared,and were a pain in the ass to control and keep out of the way at times, but who could blame them? There were trucks here,grandpa helping me tear off the roof,2 roofing guys,a huge dump truck on the lawn,constant pounding of hammers,nail guns...a whirlwind of noise and grunting added in for good measure. In retrospect, I guess its a blessing that our roof weekend fell this week.As I left my friend's funeral, I dont know that I could've felt more sad...but the fact that we had so much to do and plan probably carried me through.Besides, I f you knew my friend,she had so much sadness and sickness around her, and struggled so much, and she still laughed out loud,maintained her sense of humor and was just such a bright light.If you have that person, make sure that you tell them...make them understand what they mean to you while they are still near you to hear it.
a clip of one of the all time under-rated bands (to me, personally).Saw 'em live once and sadly not again.Love the songs,the hooks,the voice.These guys got me through many a rough night with their great mix of pop/rock.
