Good one


to drift off to sleep to.
Love you Lucy.
Nite.


Sparks fly on E Street when the boy- prophets walk it, handsome and hot 
All the little girls' souls grow weak when the man-child gives them a double shot 
The schoolboy pops pull out all the stops on a Friday night 
The teenage tramps in skin-tight pants do the E Street dance and everything's alright 
Little kids down there either dancin' or hooked up in a scuffle 
Dressed in snakeskin suits packed with Detroit muscle 
They're doin' the E Street Shuffle 

Now those E Street brats in twilight dual flashlight phantoms in full star stream 
Down fire trails of silver nights with blonde girls pledged sweet 16 
The newsboys say the heat's been bad since Power 13 gave a trooper all he had in a summer scuffle 
And Power's girl, Little Angel, has been on the corner keepin' those crazy boys out of trouble 
Little Angel steps the shuffle like she ain't got no brains 
She's deaf in combat down on Lover's Lane 
She drives all them local boys insane 

Little Angel says, "Oh, everybody form a line 
Oh, everybody form a line" 

Sparks fly on E Street when the boy- prophets walk it, handsome and hot 
All the little girls' souls grow weak when the man-child gives them a double shot 
Little Angel hangs out at Easy Joe's, it's a club where all the riot squad goes when they're cashin' in for a cheap hustle 
But them boys are still on the corner, loose and doin' that lazy E Street Shuffle 
As them sweet summer nights turn into summer dreams 
Little Angel picks up Power and he slips on his jeans as they move on out down to the scene 
All the kids are dancin'

Words.
You know?
For you know who.

1 Corinthians 13 - 6

Well



that explains a lot :-).


#3 Really? Never would have known.

#4 "unconsciously discourage" more like consciously if you ask me.

#6 Yes better, not just for myself, but from others as well. Call them out? No need really. In my head maybe, they know what they are up to, no need to "call therm out".

#9 Journal? Never thought about it lol.

#10 Past that stage.

#11 Nope.

#12 Nope, looking forward to it.

#13 Awww hell nawwww.

Exactly like I would expect Lucy to do lol.
You un 1+ the hundred post you had just 1 +ed yesterday lol.
You're so hardcore lol.
God I do love you so,
Seriously though?
It was a good laugh.
Thanks.
Needed it :-).

Level 4: The Connection to Universal Wisdom


You have the connection to the universal wisdom! This type of of intuition is rare, profound and in high demand in this crazy age! It's often activated during deep meditation or advanced awareness practices but for you it comes naturally. It's the highest level of intuition that humans can reach while in physical form and allows us to access the realm of all things and to become consciously aware of our connection to and ability to create. This means that when you truly want or need something, you easily attract it to yourself. You know better than the rest of us on a deep intuitive level that we all have the power within us to change and heal our lives if we so choose!

I'll take that last sentence.
The rest of it?
Silly FB quiz.

Rumi



Your heart knows the way.
Run in that direction.


This is the problem.



Despising something so intensely, you become what it is you hate.
Juggling act.
It's not easy.


BTW?


I'm done with condescending looks.
From anyone.
Ever.

I mean a chance meeting?
Out in public?
Something you can't do anything about?
That's gonna happen.
But to willing go and be around people who are just going to look at you with contempt?
Like they just can't stand the thought of you?
Cause they don't like how you've chosen to live your life?
Thats an easy problem to fix.
Movin on.
NEXT!

Doing as others told me, I was Blind.
Coming when others called me, I was Lost.

Then I found Everyone, Myself as well.

He wasn't the first to ever say it.
But he was the first person who ever said it to me.
I took it to heart.

Love you Bambi.

Nite Lucy.
Love you.

passed away today.

Droppin like flies anymore Lucy :-(.




"You're



up here floating in the clouds, we need you back here a lil closer to reality."

G%$
D(**&
it!
M^%$#@
F)(*&@~S

THIS IS MY REALITY!

"Why



don't you just go to Tennessee?" 
Seems to be a question a lot of people havin takin to asking lately.

Pretty simple really.

1) If two trips, 400 miles each, and yes go ahead and thrown in the trip to Albany, Ky as well, for a grand total of three trips, two states, 1200 total miles didn't convince her?
What the fuck difference is one more trip gonna make?
Not much.
Pointless.
Not happening.

2) This one goes to the core of my being. I said no more. Period, end of statement, movin on. No more chasin. Done. At least in the actual gonna track you down sense. I say what I mean and I do what I say. Makes life easy. Lots of people hate what I say and mean, and thats fine, let them. It's not for them. That just made me think of a song lol. Go figure. This is all about me and having integrity in my life, nothing else. Say what you mean, do what you say. 
Simple. 
Easy. 
After a while? 
Everybody knows you're gonna do what you say and they don't even ever question it.
Sweet.

3) It will ruin it. 
"?" is the general response with this one. 
So I go on to explain: "The next time I see her? It will be when I'm standing at the end of an aisle and I'll look up, and the doors will open, and I'll see her walking toward me in that dress. And everybody, every single person in there, gonna be balling their eyes out, grown ass hardcore mother fuckers gonna be bawling like lil babies cause their gonna know, without a doubt, a force greater than man put this together. 
Not me, not her, a higher power. 
People wanna deny it? 
Go ahead, what do I care? 
I aint never been one of these take a hammer and beat something in your head types, found out that approach generally doesn't work out so well with anything.
So go ahead, deny it if they want, let the memories of this day fade till they no longer think thats what actually happened if thats what they want to do.

But I will tell you this, if they were there? 
And they were witness to it?
Then they know. 
They can deny all they want, but in their heart of hearts?
They know.
Cause there's no other explanation.

Love you Lucy.
Upstairs is calling :-).
Peace.

One




More time lol.
Just to get it exactly correct lol.

2:22 mark.
Love it.
The switch just got flipped.
It's on like Donkey Kong now.

Thing is?
Things have been leading up to this point.
This isn't rash or impulsiveness.
This is:
"Mother fuckers I will stomp my happy ass back to the airfield, make my own napalm and fly my own plane to take out the tree line if I have to, but we are gonna surf this fuckin beach!"

I mean I just get it.
I understand how one can come to feel that way.
It's just a , "I done made up my mind and come hell or high water..."

Is it always a good strategy?
No.
Will it get your ass burned sometimes?
You betcha.
Is it best tempered my someone else whom you trust their judgement?
Yeah.
Lots of times.
None of that is my point here.
The point here is, I understand what it feels like when that switch gets flipped.

"Mother fuckers this is what were gonna do, now get the fuck out of my way so we can accomplish it. I'm tired of pussyfootin around, I'll do it all myself if I have to, but it will happen."

All I'm sayin is...

I understand what it's like when the switch flips Lucy.



Springsteen's Dad



It's been a long time since I read this particular interview and good luck trying to go back and find it now, so forgive me if I get a few things wrong, but the gist of the story will be correct.

Springsteen had finally made it.
I believe it was his first time playing Madison Square Garden.
That's a big deal for anybody, let alone a Jersey boy.
He wanted his dad to come see him play.
He never had.
I believe his mom had a few times before, but never his dad and never his dad and mom together.
I mean it was all set up to be, "Hey look dad, I made it. See? Look at this. Look at your son now."

The relationship between Bruce and his dad is well chronicled.
One listen to "The River" all the way through ought to give you some idea.
"Turn down that GODDAMN guitar!'
Was an ongoing mantra in the Springsteen household.

So he meets his parents after the show.
Moms pretty ecstatic.
Dad?
Dad supposedly just shrugged his shoulders or something close to it shook Bruce's hand and went home.
At first Bruce was pretty upset. Seems like Bruce goes on to explain
that it didn't take him long to realize his expectations were wrong.
He should have been expecting the reaction he got, not the one he had hoped for.

The moral ?
Sometimes it doesn't matter what you do people are not going to like it.

My question is,
if you know that's the case?
Then why even bother trying to please them in the first place?

Love you.

Sermon



notes:

"Running the race"

2 Tim 4 7

Christian walk = fight.

Hebrews 11:13

Parable of the sower.

Mathew 13.

"Once you start the race, thoughts and energy are on finishing."

Isaiah 43

"There are times in life when you're gonna wanna give up."

"Joy cometh in the morning."

"Devil will use every means to stop you."

"God rewards those who seek him. Diligently seek him."

Then me sitting there tears almost streaming down my face:
"Lord God? This is what I prayed for, if this is what it's like to be used by you? Then keep it comin, cause I'm good and I know you got my back."

12 hours later and continuing into the present, look at how things have come around.

Every sermon there, every one has been exactly what I needed to hear, exactly when I needed to hear it. I knew, just riding by one day and stopping and looking at the place, I knew I was supposed to start going there.

Just like I knew something else bout somebody one day a while back :-).
Love you Lucy.

How much difference does it make, how much difference?

Beautiful.

Love you.

Cause



you know what?

If it was easy?

Anybody could do it.
Thats why people hate you.
You are doing something they know they couldn't have.
Guess what?
Not my fucking problem.

Tell



them Eddie.


Love you.

In particular the :52 second mark, the 1:35 second mark and the 2: 23 second mark.
:-).

Love ya girl.


Oh?
Know what else women love?
For a man to say fuck you people.
I Gave them enough chances.
They didn't deserve the ones I gave them.
Why should I give them any more?
But I kept giving them anyway.
If I keep giving them ?
They've proven they're just gonna keep doing what they've been doing.
So you know what?
All out of chances are yall.

Not my choice.
Theirs.
A direct correlation to the behaviors that have been exhibited over time.

No more.
Ever.
Enough.

Yeah, women love that shit.

As I like to say, NEXT!

Movin on.

Any questions?

I didn't think so.

TI

TA

NI

UM

I'll



throw in one more thing as well, it doesn't matter who you are either. Family, long term friend, co-worker etc. Think about it for a second. If my self worth is dependent on your acceptance? Then what am I worth when you don't accept me anymore? Not much. My self worth comes from my creator who says I am valuable to him. I'm just the vessel that harbors the self worth that was created just for me, and for you as well. All of us as a matter of fact. Something my creator gives me depends on your acceptance.  WTF kinda nonsense is that?




I



hear ya Liz.


See



what I mean?

"See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side
I wait for you
Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I wait, without you"

Seems fitting

Diddley, Chuck Berry, Lil Richard.

Just missing, Elvis, Jerry Lee, Buddy Holly and Roy Orbison and you would have most of the significant originators of rock-n-roll in the mid fifties. 

Great pic.



He



would have his band play for hour(s) during sound checks and walk around the arenas they were playing checking the sound quality everywhere he sat. He would and still does I believe, hold lil pep rallys with the E Street Band before each show and basically tell them "Look, whatever is going on, whatever you're upset about, whatever lil petty squabbles were having with each other? Or family? Or friends? Put it aside for the next several hours, focus on the music and the performance were providing for these people, they've paid good money and some have come from long distances and they deserve our best tonight."

Someday I'll tell you about the first time I saw him in Cincinnati the second to last show of the River tour when I was 17 years old and what a life changing experience it was for me.

Maybe.

If you're nice lol.


Yeah



you do...

could be heroes..."

Love it



"1, 2, 1, 2...
know a man, his face seems pulled and tense
like he's riding on a motorbike in the strongest winds
so I approach with tact
suggest that he should relax
but he's always moving much too fast
said he'll see me on the flipside
on this trip he's taken for a ride
he's been taking too much on
there he goes with his perfectly unkept clothes
there he goes...
he's yet to come back 
but I've seen his picture
it doesn't look the same up on the rack
we go way back
I wonder about his insides
its like his thoughts are too big for his size
he's been taken... where, I don't know?
off he goes with his perfectly unkept hope
and there he goes...
and now I rub my eyes, for he has returned
seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned
for he still smiles... 
and he's still strong
nothing's changed, but the surrounding bullshit that has grown
and now he's home
and we're laughing like we always did
my same old, same old friend
until a quarter-to-ten
I saw the strain creep in
he seems distracted and I know just what is gonna happen next
before his first step
he's off again."

Words you know?
For my lil wordsmith.

Yeah



you do :-).


Yep




As



a matter of fact?
I did ;-).


It



looks like what he sounded like live, if that makes any kinda sense at all.
