I ONLY HAD ONE CHOICE - a "poem" by GG/BG (work in progress...???)

by Good Girl or Bad Girl? in

jw
friends

so i wrote this poem, if that is what you can call it.

not saying it's good or anything, but it's how i feel.

it's about my experience as a jehovah's witness.. .

Twitch

i like the form/departure from structure of the words

amplifies what's being said

all so very familiar

Thank you

Do you know this feeling?

by DeusMauzzim in

jw
friends

do you know the feeling of looking out of the window at the sky, thinking 'there will be no armageddon, everything is well, i followed my conscience...' ?.

do you know the feeling of just going for a walk, all alone.. and realizing that you are alive and out of it, that there is no god counting your hours and meetings?

that is was all just a bad dream, that you are free now to follow your own moral compass.. it makes you want to laugh and cry at the same time.... do you sometimes look at the faces of total strangers in the streets or on the train, wondering how you could have ever thought that most of them could be murdered any moment by some 'loving' god?

Twitch

Not silly at all. I know the feeling.

Oh yea, welcome,...

Motorhead

"Ace of Spades" was the thrashiest piece of punk metal attitude until James Hetfield discovered what a fuzz box was,....lol

btw, early metallica (pre-black album) was the best, hands down

Big Wreck

by troucul in

what ever happened to them?

i'm a fan of boston bands, (aerosmith has gone too commercial for my taste) but would love to see these guys put out another one.

i heard they got screwed over in their record deal, therefore could not continue because of the cost.

Twitch

LOL

I saw Big Wreck a few times when they were touring. Awesome show, loud and heavy. Ian Thornley does know how to front a band. He started his own project Thornley after poor sales of the 2nd CD.

Living Colour eh? remember "Funny Bone"? all funked up. Corey Glover could belt it out with the best of 'em. Takes me back, lol.

What do women REALLY want?

by Abandoned in

ok, i've heard it all: sincerity, honesty, security, money, love, romance, flowers, poems, promises, and more.

but, in my arguably limited experience, i've been shot down while doing all of these (at differnt times obviously).

so, what do women really want?

Twitch

Life is about not being compatible but rather how well you deal with incompatibility.

:-)

how you treat your enemies determines the peace you have,...etc.

as for what women want, i'm with the "each woman is different" camp. Sure, deep down we all essentially want the same things. But the intrinsic differences between us present the attractions and difficulties, challenges and rewards in all what seems simple and complex all at once. Each woman i've known was unique in her own way and attracted me because of it. Each had different strengths and weaknesses, needs and wants, hopes and fears and each was a tapestry that i loved to gaze upon for a time, so to speak. Each taught me different things about myself and about woman, not women as the boys say. Each one taught me how to "dance" a little better though the best "dances" were the ones wnere it was like you didn't have to try; you just naturally fell into step together. But i digress. They want you to be a man. Which man that is depends on the woman. :-)

But isn't the question; What do YOU really want?

perhaps the rest will fall in line,....

Pink Floyd - One of These Days

David Gilmour at his pyschedelic best with some slide guitar riffs he picked up from his 1971 tour of Mars. Not that it's technically complicated guitar wise but just the whole production of the song is rather sonically characteristic of the early stuff. And it reminds me of the Laser Floyd shows they used to have at the planetarium, lol.

Floydius Maximus, as we used to say,....
