About

Description
Divorced FATHER of 3 beautiful Teenager's who was Born in the 60's and grew up with some AMAZING Music. Then Led Zeppelin broke up and Disco came.and then there was no Fucking music I could listen too anymore. And then, for some GOD AWFUL REASON, the 80's sucked too. What a fucked up decade in general. Yea there was some Good Bands, but it mostly sucked. All of a sudden, GNR, SoundGarden, Alice in Chains, STP, and Pearl Jam came along, and lo and behold, they saved my Musically starved ass. Been fucking jamming ever since. Finally! Music I can call my own. Not my brother"s or Sister's music. It's all MINE Dammit. LOL

KANDI

You’ve been my queen …for longer than you know
My LOVE for you has been…every step I take, every day I live, everything I’ve seen
And if I get things wrong, don’t want you to think I’m running away
But I heard from Joe ,about this guy, and I want to know,
What did he say?

He called me Baby, baby, all night long
What did he do
He called me Baby, baby, all night long

Why why why did you need him, where was I
Just how close to you is he?
Every smile you fake, every touch you make , every word you say.
And it hurts beyond hurt.

It was love that blinds, and a love that stings.
When I heard from Joe, about this guy
And I want to know what did he say

He called me Baby, baby, all night long
What did he do
He called me Baby, baby, all night long
What did he say
He called me Baby, baby, all night long

Does my Love ever touch you
Does my Love ever reach you
It’s never enough
Why is it never enough

He called me Baby, baby, all night long
What did he do
He called me Baby, baby, all night long
What did he say
He called me Baby, baby, all night long
What did he do
He called me Baby, baby, all night long

And I know he called Baby, baby, all night long
I know he called Baby, baby, all night long

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that
wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You
will have your heart broken probably more than once and
it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so
remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight
with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things
an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast,
and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take too
many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never
been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset
is a minute of happiness you'll never get back. Don't be
afraid that your life will end, be afraid that it will never begin.

"What Sarah said" - Death Cab for Cutie



"And it came to me then that every plan is a tiny prayer to father time
As I stared at my shoes in the ICU that reeked of piss and 409
And I rationed my breaths as I said to myself that I'd already taken too much today
As each descending peak on the LCD took you a little farther away from me
Away from me

Amongst the vending machines and year-old magazines in a place where we only say goodbye
It stung like a violent wind that our memories depend on a faulty camera in our minds
But I knew that you were a truth I would rather lose than to have never lain beside at all
And I looked around at all the eyes on the ground as the TV entertained itself

'Cause there's no comfort in the waiting room
Just nervous pacers bracing for bad news
And then the nurse comes round and everyone will lift their heads
But I'm thinking of what Sarah said that "Love is watching someone die"

So who's going to watch you die?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`

"My Personal Story"


My Father had lung cancer and tried everything for two years, from Radiation to Chemo. Nothing worked. He wittled away from a Strong Senior of a man, to 112 lbs. It was so sad watching this. I was Married and living away from him and my older brother. ( he came back to take care of him), I would have to force myself to go visit him and watch this man slowly die. It was so hard for me.


Anyway, I'm working up in Allentown with a Concrete Contractor I have been employed with for quite sometime. So I'm riding shotgun in a 6 person Crew Cab, traveling down Rte 100. Works over and we're finally going home. I get this feeling that something is not right with my Father all of a sudden. I couldn't explain it, but I felt sad, and my co-workers noticed and asked what's wrong and other questions. I couldn't answer them.


I get home and my Father-in-Law says: 'Sorry to hear about your Dad." I looked at my wife, and she said "Gus ( my brother) called not too long ago. Your Dad passed."

I called my brother, and Gus says "Dad was sitting watching the O.J. Simpson trial, when he turned to me and handed me his wedding Band, and said "I'm tired" and then he died." My brother watched him Die. So did I in a way. LOVE?


My Mother passed two weeks later. I saw her before she passed also. I'll see them soon enough. I Hope

R.I.P. - Pop 10/03/1995

R.I.P. - Mom 10/17/1995

R.I.P. - Gus 12/12/1996

I MISS YOU ALL VERY MUCH

When


When she acts shy - Say I Love You.
When she runs from you - Chase her.
When she puts her face near yours - Kiss her..
When she kicks and punches you - Hold her tight.

When she is silent - She's thinking of how to say I love you.
When she ignores you - She wants all you attention.
When she pulls away - Grab her by the waist and never let go.
When you see her at her worst - Tell her she's Beautiful.

When she screams at you - Tell you love her; But you have to mean it.
When you see her walking - Sneak up behind her and grab her by the waist.
When she's scared - Hold her and tell her everything will be okay cause she's with you.

When she looks like something is the matter - Kiss her and tell her not to worry.
When she holds your hand - Play with her fingers.
When she says she's cold - Move closer
When she walks away and looks in the distance - Walk up beside her and talk to her.

When she flirts with you - never turn her down or ignore her.
when its just you and her in the room - Ask her to stay a little longer.
