A Song for Tampa
UPDATE: Sometimes I forget to preface my thoughts. When Tampa was poking around for a 'slogan' that fit this what's-left-of-Tampa-burg, this is the first thing that came to my mind. tampa-gettin-away-with-murder.
For me -- from the first time I heard this song it reminded me of Tampa. I might have heard it for the first time navigating Downtown what's-left-of-Tampa. LOL. Irony on Ashley. In fact, it reminds me of about ONE person in what's-left-of-Tampa, the most. THEN, I finally watch this on youtube because they've struck my fancy with another song that yeah, I'll probably blog.
So, check out the tickers behind the band. LOL !!!
And, fellow Tampan,(and club-members further up the map) you ARE irrational. And, yknow what? You are not getting away with it, either. Comes the piper to every man, woman and beast. It's coming.
Here's a song for you, meantime. My regards: (I wrote you a poem, too. Did you read it on my laptop? I'm not terribly impressed though my memory keeps saying you have nice arms. I'm wondering if it's steroids or hard work. Come on over and show me, eh??)
BUT, this is the song I really wanted to listen to for a bit today ... people --- they get so wrapped up in love and trying to hold it, parcel it, deny it --- cage it. This song isn't even about love, but all the comments after the lyrics were (to me) kinda stunning. What people do to others in the name of love. Most people have love confused with lust. I'd say they're equally important but blending them is like the ultimate experience.
I'm a big one for PURE love. What's between family members. You wanna kill them but the love won't let you.
I might have blogged this tune before. I think I might be in love with this guy. I guess he's safe though because I never make the first move. LOL !! And, if I DO -- it's ALWAYS a disaster. Or IS it?? LOL !! Maybe I'll let him be my friend on my space. All ya gotta do is ask. LOL. Don't forget --- I opened the myspace page to piss rupert off. Rupert wants me. For god's sake -- take a number and get in line. The line is super long now. Ya shoulda jumped in sooner, rupe.
Somehow I ended up with this larger version of what love is ...
It's FOR FREE, motherfuckers. Give it up.
Stop holding out on other people and take and give what you need and what they need.
It's sad watching you.
Love everyone. Most people really are doing the best they can.
May not seem like much but ---- they are.
Oh, and I'll tell how I came up with that larger version of what love IS: I've died before and come back. Got dropped off. Something. Near Death Experience. That shocks most people. I didn't even realize it's what happened myself til some time later. I was high from it for DAYS, it was all I could talk about. I just sat around everywhere staring in to space and if someone spoke to me it was --- huh?? Then I would ask them if they had ever had that happen. My boyfriend at the time had which engendered some cool stuff.
People talked about this stuff and my eyes rolled before. But, I've had three to five experience in life which actually MEAN something and to me, the rest is stuffings. Everything I am and need stems from those I love (despite the fact that many of them are gone) and from these experiences.
I don't know when/if I'll ever talk about the NDE thing. It's extremely private stuff for me.
To this day, I won't sleep alone. It's very exhausting to constantly have this stuff go on --- because once that happens your psyche' or whatever keeps those things 'at bay' . .. is more open.
At the current boyfriend's house when I sleep I have these extremely telling dreams. At home there is a warm person who keeps one hand on me while I sleep.
I'm about ready to go back in to my own room, though because I'm ready (after about four years) to see what will happen next.
Finally, whatever's out there found a door in again. But it didn't happen in all this time until I started sleeping at the boyfriend's sometimes. At first it was his dad (who had recently died) and then his Mom and his Aunt. None of these people I've EVER met. I've never ever seen a family photo. I can describe them and the ex-boyfriends' deceased family members to a T.
Here's the cool thing: After his family tried to say hello, he got really angry with me like I had made it up. Yeah. A person COULDN"T make this stuff up. I think he's better about it now but haven't asked as things moved past that.
After that a person came in the dead of night and I was having a very active dream and across about a million miles he shouted a name .... and then again --- the same name.
So, I'm not sure how this would make YOU feel but here's the deal:
I've never EVER heard that name before. Ever. On a whim I looked it up in the Hillsborough County Property Records.
You got it. People don't come across time and space and energy differences to shout out a name for nothing.
I heard you.
I just don't know what to do.
But, it's pretty fucking cool to be me. For awhile I wanted to sleep ALL the time so I could see what would happen. Anything. I expected anything. As long as someone would be there.
Because the other thing was frightening. You don't look across a room and see yourself lying down on a bed and be leaning up against the heater every day. That's a very unique experience.
Maybe I'll try to talk about it as I felt when it happened.
Since my (leaving it blank) came and shouted that name to me --- this has been on my mind almost daily. I probably would have been okay with it if I hadn't found the pretty unusual name in the property records here.
Really has me stewing.
Oh, I almost forgot ---
Take these memories
That are haunting me
Of a paper man cut into shreds
By his own pair of scissors
Because days! Come and go!
But my feelings for you are forever
Because days come and go
But my feelings for you are forever
These are the lyrics that get me. To me, they define the highest meaning of patience.
Patience is NOT a virtue. It is concentrated strength.
I understand patience.

I don't care what you talk about but keep sending letters until they publish one. They're very selective with WHOM they publish because I see the same names over and over. Don't let a few people speak for ALL of us.
And call your congressman and talk to her of Inherent Contempt. Do it. And hug everyone you can reach.
