Darlin I love you but give me park avenue
So I am on my way to New York City with mixed feelings dancing around in my heart like a Riverdancer on Exstacy at a Promisekeepers Convention.
I'm up way to early for being up way too late. I still haven't packed and I don't know how I am feeling about this. Part of me is dying to get back and see NYC. I miss it. Everyday.The other part? I'm not sure.
I realized yesterday, on my way home for lunch (yes folks, I live so close, that I can come home for lunch) how terribly lonely that I am down here most days. I am talking tear your heart out and rub is slowly across some sandpaper kind of lonliness. I realize that this is all within me. My choices and my path. Either way, I know that yesterday it just came to me how bad that gets for me some days.
In coming here, as good as it may turn out for me, and being aware that what I am going through right now may be good for me, I gave up just about everything that I knew. I gave up the people I love, the support system that I relied on as my net and a job that I was very comfortable in (for more on the goings on at that job, please check out Aryn's blogalicious bloggy blog) and was beginning to excel at.
Everyday down here is another punch of the clock. Did you all realize that I have been living in Raleigh for over a month now? Just a thought. I hadn't posted that before. Anyhow, less updatee, more mope-ee.
Last night I went out and stayed out. Had some fun. Closed down some bars. Talked about music and perfect albums. Bands that have made perfect albums? How bout Gun's and Roses with Appetite for Destruction, or INXS with Kick. I'm talking albums that are so good that you can never go wrong by popping it in the cd player. Others that were bandied about? Van Halen's 5150, Led Zepplin's Houses of the Holy, Eide Brickell's Shooting Rubberbands at the Stars. Those were all discussed. Some others were mentioned but I can't think of them right now. If you have one to mention.....please shoot.
Well i am going to try to get my ass motivated for packing (no, I haven't packed yet and I leave in a few hours). I want to sleep.Can't wait to be home.
Songs of the Day-LOTS OF THEM (Heard all of these last night)
Never Tear Us Apart-Inxs
I Do-Edie Brickell and The New Bohemians (This son is amazing! I love it and have for years. It still speaks very softly and eloquently what I want out of a relationship one day.In addition, and funny enough this was my wedding song with Nic.)
Why Can't This Be Love?-Van Halen (come on, you're not shocked about this choice are you?)
Surrender-Cheap Trick (Not exactly song of the day material, but what the heck, good stuff, maybe it'll get you all to hum along)
Glory Days-Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band
I am going to leave you with this final thought. I have an employee at work who I was talking to yesterday. We started talking about music. Great albums, older stuff that I thought she should listen to. Anyhow, two albums came up upon someones else's sugestion as albums she should definalteely check out. Hysteria from Def Leppard and Bon Jovi's Slippery When Wet. She didn't know either album. I started going on "......yeah, you couldn't miss any Bon Jovi song in the summer of 1986" and then I realized (she is 18) "Ummmmm when were you born?" she replied "1986" Whoa! Getting older folks. Has it been that long?
See Y'all in the City

Aahh Shooting Rubberbands at the Stars is a great album...it makes me very nostalgic and I think I need to pull out that old tape..thanks for the reminder of those days and that album!
Appetite is on every Best Album list I've ever made... And Def Leppard's Hysteria was I believe the first album I ever owned on vinyl.
