This morning I was woke by my sons clock radio. I had stayed up until 3AM reading "The Fountainhead" By Ayn Rand. I then took sleeping pills to ensure I could sleep past 8AM. Alas, no. My son bought a clock radio with his own money and though he has no reason to be up this hot Saturday morning, his alarm went off. He has it set so the radio wakes him. The song playing was, "Don't Take The Girl" by Tim McGraw. I tried to not allow my mind to engage by I failed. I started reminiscing about the "good" old days. One of my dearest sister-friends and I were single parents back in the early 90's when that song came out. We were in a band together. On nights we didn't have a gig, I would bring my daughter over to "Aunt Robs". The kids (they call each other cousins) would play games and watch movies in the living room, while Rob and I would sit at the kitchen table playing Uno, smoking cigarettes and eating Ben and Jerry's. The radio would play softly in the background. Depending on the song, one or both of us would sing along. But that song! Oh that song would come on, we would set our cards down, crank the radio up and belt out right along with Mr.McGraw. By the end of the song, we would both have tears in our eyes. It is the type of song that evokes emotions anyway. I always thought the reason we would both cry when we heard that song was because we were both convinced no man would ever feel that strongly for us. In fact, back then after we both had gone through a couple of very rough divorces, we were convinced no man was capable of feeling that strongly about us. LOL Here we are 15 years later. Life has certainly had its twists and turns for both she and I. What we finally learned, no man could feel that strongly for us until we felt that strong. Our paths have lead us to different places but we talk often. "Aunt Rob" I think, may have finally found a man who is worthy of those strong feelings. Me, well, I am strong, no doubt about it. The strong feelings have been evoked and are playing themselves out as we speak. BTW, my son just rolled over with the pillow over his head and went back to sleep on this hot Saturday morning. There is a difference between a good BJ and a bad BJ. |

A lot of men can't verbalize. Especially when it comes to feelings of love and tenderness...Don't be sad. The one for you may be in the grocery store when you're shopping, or living 3 houses down on the Right side of Kansas lol...Think positive, and keep cooking...

Tim McGraw has done some wonderful songs. This one is very powerful. I didn't know you sang in a band. I'd really love to do that, but I don't think I could sing in front of people. My cousin is in Alan Jackson's band and sings backup. He's promises than when he does the demo he's talking with Wade Hays about doing that I can sing on the demo. I can't wait. Music touches me in so many ways. "Don't waste your time on a man or woman, who isn't willing to waste their time on you." Earthy      Debate To Nowhere Just The Facts Ma'am Pimping My Bling
