In Case You've Wondered

My blog is where my wandering thoughts are interspersed with stuff I made up. So, if while reading you find yourself confused about the context, don't feel alone. I get confused, too.

If you're here for the stories, I started another blog: scratchingforchange.blogspot.com

One other thing: sometimes I write words you refuse to use in front of children, or polite company, unless you have a flat tire, or hit your thumb with a hammer.

I don't use them to offend; I use them to embellish.

The Song That Doesn't Exist

My drive home this evening was full of musings, songs that resurrected the past and accentuated by the early Spring weather; high cirrus, wispy contrails, a sun dog and the smell of new growth; tugging at the cool air; a harbinger of hot days and a blistering sun.

Winter is forecast to forecast to threaten again; a weak effort with rain, cold mornings and the slow relinquishing of the hold that gripped with vengeance.

After I arrived home, I searched through music videos; looking for the correct song to express my mood. It was a futile search, with Three Dog Night, Joni Mitchell and Randy Newman only scratching at the mood I'm in. Nothing fits and I decided I'd tried enough, and will admit defeat.

    You may not have found the right song, but you found some pretty good words.

      Thank you.

      It's been one of those weeks and the right song would have taken some of the edge off.

      That is a good one, but still doesn't fit.

    I usually do the opposite. It starts out with a song that makes me feel good then I go with that. But I don't keep up with music like I did as a teen. I except for few occasions, can't tell who the singers are, anyway. I do spend many late nights listening to YouTube songs.

      There's little pop that gets my attention. Country and Western is like pop; everything sounds the same.

      I listen to songs of my youth, classical and those that don't follow the herd.

    you have perfectly described a Pink Floyd "Pigs on the Wing" moment.

    DaBlade, Rand Paul startled me with his Roger Waters reference at CPAC.
    My wife asked who he was. I was surrealized.

    When in doubt, Eagles and Bob Segar. Last night I played "Let's Get Drunk and Screw" by Buffet. If THAT one doesn't work, nothing will.
