LOL, no need to be sorry, my collection is so varied .... I liked this one, but I am very partial to anything that resembles Irish music, or violin celtic style.... maybe there is irish in my ancestry
Ditto, this song is in my collection as is beggar on a beach of gold https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FEE2fSF5bX4 with lyrics https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcVP0uDh0i8 band
Radiohead and Cat Empire [video=youtube;WQU28OJH3-M]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQU28OJH3-M[/video] this one speaks to me - kind of sums up my take on the world - a personal indulgence.
What a sad song, even after listening twice, could work out why. I hope your take on the world improves. I admit there are times I feel like I was born into the wrong time frame, but never felt so negative, There doesnt appear to be one shred of hope here at all. I hope you dont feel like that, I have had my moments, but fortunate enough to have been bought up with strong reinforment of my value and worth even though I am weird and different in many instances. Individuality was encouraged, maybe part of it is age, I am an older generation and I would HATE to be a teenager or under 50 in this day and age never having our worth and individuality appreciated. No more . Hope your world gets a lot better. We are all weird, unique and peculiar and that individuality needs to be appreciated again.
sigh ... You know those emaciated people who look in the mirror & see a fat person? Well you're this spiritually & intellectually lush & voluptuous person who looks into the mirror & sees a starving man. You're a mystery, that's for sure. You're certainly a bit of a weirdo - but hey - as they say in the 'Bin - normal is killing the planet. And I'm sure when you get right off your chain you can get a wee bit creepy too. But you're special, very special, no doubt about that. And don't think for a moment plenty of us don't notice when you're not here. Probably the biggest challenge you have in finding where you belong is finding people intelligent enough to engage you & appreciate you. Hell, finding people who just understand you is probably a challenge. I know I'm not the only person on this forum who believes your posts are brilliantly insightful. I'm not sure where you belong KP, but I'm grateful you grace this forum every now & then, & when you're not here, I read your old posts, to rekindle the fire of the desire to keep the faith. CREEP LYRICS - RADIOHEAD When you were here before Couldn't look you in the eye You're just like an angel Your skin makes me cry You float like a feather In a beautiful whirl I wish I was special You're so very special But I'm a creep I'm a weirdo What the hell am I doing here? I don't belong here I don't care if it hurts I want to have control I want a perfect body I want a perfect soul I want you to notice when I'm not around You're so very special I wish I was special But I'm a creep I'm a weirdo What the hell am I doing here? I don't belong here She's running out the door She's running She runs runs runs runs
I love just about all music in just about every genre ... but, being born in Australia in 1963 ... I reckon this is my eternal all time favourite. I think I want this played at my funeral Edited to add: AT FULL BLAST Edited again to add - As if there's any other way to play ACDC https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJwZhqU0QL4 (WTF is with the people watching in this clip???? You couldn't stop me dancing to this if I was DEAD!) Maybe that's why I want it played at my funeral
OK I'm gunna be greedy here Johnny Winter is simply a legend & Derek Trucks is awesome as well. Bliss https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvNUTqDJJaI
Here's one for you KP if you're into weird & creepy And I loved Warren too ... maybe I'm just into weird & creepy guys? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4-pexSVWzM If you're not singing with this you're not breathing
And because it's Christmas - & OMG IT'S THE 21ST OF DECEMBER TODAY!!! ... my very favourite Christmas song ever from one of the most talented blokes to draw breath & put pen to paper. Shit - how many times can you say LEGEND in one thread? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fh79619xxk8 I just cry the whole way through this ... every single time ... even when it's not Christmas Paul - you're a f'ing legend mate
Way to go Helen, if we were all "normal" we would still be the same boat, cause normal is normal does and no 2 people have same definition of 'normal'... but love what you said, and will add AMEN Gosh I am so glad we are not all the same, imagine it. little robots, made of ticky tacky and thinking all the same..... I go for weird and wonderful anytime, makes life much more interesting.
Thanks Helen I am more inclined towards common sense and a bit of logic. But normal, whoops, really no such thing, whats normal in my house would be weird in another, whacky in another, delerious in another and so on. I prefer people being themselves and not trying to fit into any mold..... hurts too much like the old wired bras etc. Love being able to be free to be me, and if someone thinks that weird or whatever good, they will spend time talking/gossiping about me and leave someone else alone. Glad you some else thinks normal is overrated, shoot we are considered strange doing permaculture ... of all things.... Maybe we should have a thread for all of us glorious weird and whacky non normal people, reckon we would have lotsa fun I am thinking of starting a blog for my experience with permaculture etc. I have just about finished fixing up the west side garden edge with the wet paper/cardboard and then much and its looking good.......... and no I have not move anything but rubbish. Think I am going to invest in a domestic mulcher for all those twigs and leaves etc that keep cluttering my yard. And have about 20 bags of leaves all decomposing in the middle of my back yard vegie plot which is bordered with tatters, dont know it they will grow but have covered them with extra soil. Almost finished cleaning out the ex dog pen and got enough rocks in there so was able to make rock borders or walls on the sloping front yard, and looking good, found a new growth of Jasmine so am going to hammer in an old dead bush fern stump and see if the Jasmine will climb around that. Now have 3 gorgeous lemon coloured Gladdies growing in front yard as well, and some of the flowers in pots have decided to start growing on the bush fern in West corner of yard near house somehow they manged to fly,swim???? about 15 meters from one spot to the other, slow but steady she goes. Will have to get more mulch after New Year as having a break till then. And the local Foodworks which is supplying me with oodles of cardboard boxes think Im crazy but who cares. Tomorrow I am going round the neighbours to see if they will give me all their newspapers instead of binning them, and up the ladder to bring down all the dead bark off gum trees .......... or may leave that for a paid job, found more than 3 huntsman nests.... wasnt too bad cause on ground level, but I flew about 5 feet to get away from them. Image me 20 feed up the tree and coming across a huntman.... the sight would not be pretty... and probaly nor would the injury. Then I saw my first blue bottle for abut 30 years. not to mention getting bitten by a red, all red spider when I was silly enough not to wear gloves for 5 mins. And that is my update to date. But can see improvement slow and steady. Still have made no definite decisions so just making what i have healthy and make some major decisions later. Wishing you a Blessed Christmas and a glorious New Year
