How about some pics of Geddy in red? Ooooo, baby. That's his color, alright. http://i1031.photobucket.com/albums/y371/Priestess-of-Syrinx/Gorgeous%20Geddy/Rush_78_008.jpg http://i1031.photobucket.com/albums/y371/Priestess-of-Syrinx/Gorgeous%20Geddy/Rush_6_-_Dallas_TX_2004_-_lg6298336.jpg http://i1031.photobucket.com/albums/y371/Priestess-of-Syrinx/Gorgeous%20Geddy/gedsa27.jpg http://i1031.photobucket.com/albums/y371/Priestess-of-Syrinx/Gorgeous%20Geddy/geddy_4.gif Actually, I think that's maroon. But it's a great pic nonetheless. I should be doing my homework right about now, but I get so easily distracted in this thread.

Here we see him anxiously waiting amidst other Lifeson fans. Oh how he longed for this day! I am so envious of Geddy's hair! I wish mine were wavy. He's fifty-seven and he has more amazing hair than a sixteen-year-old girl. That's something right there. Just ONE amazing thing about him.

His lovely junk. I'd kiss that and make it better, but I imagine that would be frowned upon. I'd rather not go to jail at this young an age. Part of me secretly wants to, though. Going to jail for that would be well worth it! Where does the line start? (I see a yummy chest in this picture!) You are right... The line's right over here! *Kahme beckons you over to where dozens of women are standing in front of Geddy* I see a yummy chest, too. A yummy everything! I wanna reach out and touch it, but I'd probably get thrown in jail again. And probably get a restraining order on me. We can't help it, Geddy! You're so gorgeous, it should be illegal!

QUOTE (Babycat @ Oct 17 2010, 09:22 AM)I get some seriously naughty thoughts everytime I think about Ged, thoughts that would never make it past the censors(!) I have an awful lot of trouble thinking straight whenever thoughts of undressing him crops up, & ... I don't think a cold shower's going to help. Ged's definately got more gorgeous & sexier with age, & he's got no shortage of admirers, has he?! I think he's very VERY hot! http://i461.photobucket.com/albums/qq335/PetieLee/IMG_6885.jpg http://www.pic4ever.com/images/84.gifhttp://www.emotihost.com/glass4/3.gifhttp://www.emotihost.com/glass4/4.gifhttp://www.freesmileys.org/emoticons/emoticon-object-055.gif Holy crap! Ged's so hot that flames come off of him! He's a Leo, as well. A fire sign in the Zodiac. So that alone makes him hot. I do NOT care that he's forty years older than me.

Yes, I believe that is his older sister. I am afraid I do not know her name, but one of the younger boys is his younger brother Allan. Geddy Lee: adorable child, beautiful teenager and GORGEOUS adult.

Awwww, poor Geddy has a blister. *Kahme jumps onto the stage* Kahme: Here, let me kiss it and make it better. Geddy: Oh...thank you. Alex: Why don't fangirls kiss my boo boos anymore? Kahme: Now don't be jealous, Lerxst. You have fangirls, too. And they'll willingly kiss more than your boo boos.

QUOTE (HowItIs @ Oct 16 2010, 01:32 AM) Geddy Gumdrops and Lerxst Bars? Neil-cakes? Oh gosh, now MY mind went places it shouldn't.... Kahme, that second picture reminded me of a video I recently made. I'm quite active politically and have been just flabbergasted by some of the stuff that certain Right-wing groups have been doing. They aren't the first nor will they be the last. This was on my mind while listening to Witch Hunt one day and this is the result.... Witch Hunt I warn you, though, there are some graphic and disturbing images in it. Geddy gumdrops, Lerxst bars and Neil cakes. Mmmmmm... The Lerxst and Pratt ladies can take the last two. I'll take the Geddy gumdrops, all of 'em. And I wouldn't mind Geddy, too. Not at all. When your mind goes to inappropriate places, don't fight it. There's nothing to ashamed of, my dear. It happens to me all the time. Whoa, you have a YouTube account too? Sweet! Excellent job on the video. Excellent song choice, too. But it's Rush; how can you go wrong? All of the things in that video are one of the main reasons I'm never becoming a mother. I don't want to bring new life into the kind of world where ignorance and prejudice and fear walk hand in hand. The last thing this world needs is more children to suffer. Like the Rush song "The Larger Bowl" says: such a lot of pain on this Earth. You understand what I mean, I hope? And don't worry about the graphic images. No need to sugar coat the real truth about what happens in this world. Tell me like it is. I can handle it. I wasn't raised under a rock.

QUOTE (HowItIs @ Oct 13 2010, 04:23 AM)Wow. You really are NOT a "typical young person." You have a deep understanding beyond your years. And I can see that both your mind and heart are open and caring. Unfortunately, I have had to deal with quite a bit of loss the past few years. I've lost pets, friends and family members and, most recently, my Mother (who was also named Jackie). So I sought out Neil's book as a way to help me deal with that. I'm a lot like him; somewhat stoic and intellectual, so I wanted to see how someone like me dealt with grief. Okay, I don't own a motorcycle but even that was something I could grok - the motion calming the "little baby soul." As you can see from my review, GR has been helpful for me. And I am so grateful to Neil for sharing such a personal story, bless him. Now, don't YOU cry, Kahme Thank you again. I've been told that before. My deepest condolences go to you and your family. I cannot imagine losing either of my parents. Or anyone else in my family, for that matter. Awwww, you are so sweet. I really appreciate hugs. I cannot help crying sometimes. I am in both PMS and MS mode right now. And I'm incredibly sensitive. I think all women are, but me especially. That is how I am. That's how it is. Hence your signature.

Geddy: Yeah, but sometimes I slip on the drool. A lot of that drool comes from me, Ged. I can't help it, ya know. If I went to a Rush concert and got first row on Geddy's side, all my dribble would probably hurt the poor guy. But I'd catch him just in time as he falls from the stage. Kahme: Well, hi there. Geddy: Um... Alex (looking down at us): Lucky bastard. Other Geddy Girls: OMG! GEDDY! *Geddy and Kahme are swarmed by Geddy's countless fangirls*

QUOTE (HowItIs @ Oct 11 2010, 09:14 PM)That was definitely worth the high grade. Excellent job! It's often difficult for a young person to understand the emotional states of "old folks" so your willingness to do so speaks to your desire for knowledge. It takes an open mind and heart to read an autobiographical book because you never know if there will be something that changes your opinion of the writer. Learning about other people is often hard, especially when you are still forming your own Self. Heck, sometimes it's tough even for older folks. I also read Ghost Rider recently. One of my reasons for doing so was a little different than yours but I admit to wondering what had really happened and why. I found the book no less moving than you did. I wrote this short review for amazon.com: My route to this book was circuitous, prompted by half-remembering the tragedy that had touched the author's life. I'd been reminded at the concert I saw in August and had looked for more. Not because I was morbidly curious but because my own loss was so fresh and I thought it would be helpful to read about how someone else dealt with it. Yes, I have a couple of "grief books" but those are clinical. I'd heard that this book was personal and raw and beautiful. Indeed, it was all of that and much more. Of course, you all know now who the author is - the drummer/lyricist for the band Rush - and that I had already been a fan (though since becoming a Mom, most of my "band guys" had faded into the background). In 1997, right after a successful tour, Peart and his wife Jackie (oh yeah, that was weird - it was my Mother's name, too) saw their daughter, Selena, off to college on August 10th. She never arrived, dying in a one-vehicle accident. The description of the police car coming slowly up the driveway and the news being delivered was harrowing to read (as it must have been to write). Then, 10 months later, Jackie died, ostensibly of cancer but Peart is certain that it was a broken heart. How does one deal with such a tragedy? Well, if you are a motorcyclist with an adventurous streak, you ride. And ride he did: from Toronto to the Arctic Circle and all the way down to Belize. His wanderings were partly planned haphazard-ness. He rode on highways and small roads, mostly, through forests, tundra, deserts and mountains. His descriptions of the scenery take you there as he tells of the flora and fauna and the people. He stayed in nice hotels and shabby ones, ate at high-class restaurants and Callow's and made me feel as if I were sitting across from him while he wrote in his journal or in letters. He rode until Christmas had passed, went back to his home for the winter and then took off again, returning for the summer and then lighting out again. He rode, he said, to help his "little baby soul", that small part of him that held on to life even as the rest of him felt beaten and betrayed by it. He had always believed that "if you get good then do good and further, if you do good, you get good." That credo had been badly damaged. In his travels, he gradually came to be interested in life again, returning to the things that "that other guy" had enjoyed before what happened. It was with delight that I read of him coming back to those things and, finally, coming back to love in the person of his new wife, Carrie. It was with bittersweet tears that I read the last chapter, knowing how it turned out didn't matter a bit. I cried for his loss and for his searching. I cried happy tears for his redemption and rebirth. I cried and thanked the Powers That Be that we still had him, that his "little baby soul" had grown into a new man's soul. On the way from that cabin by the lake to Santa Monica, over 55,000 miles in 2 years, he worked through some stuff. And reading about how he managed to do so helped me work through some stuff. Still more to do, of course. But how wonderfully thoughtful and kind of him to share his own path. I am very grateful and recommend to anyone grieving a loss that they read this book. "If we truly want to try to carry on from this dark crossroads, we can only try to guide the inevitable changes in ourselves. We would not be who we are if this was something we could "get over" or simply carry on from where we left off. Once, I expressed the way I want to see my future this way; "I know I'm scarred by these experiences, I just don't want to be crippled by them." ... No way we can hold onto what we used to believe and no way we can forget what actually happened in our lives, and in our worlds. We will never trust Life again. ... we've got to adapt, even to that unbearable reality or, one way or another, we will perish." ~~ Ghost Rider ------------------------------- Thanks for sharing your review, NH. I cried as I read it, too. Thank you very much. I am most flattered. I chose Ghost Rider both out of my own interest and for the assignment. So it nourished both my mind and my grade. Don't you worry, my mind and heart are both very open. And believe you me when I say that I'm not your typical young person. I have been fortunate enough to not have dealt with serious loss thus far in my life. To have been in Neil's place and to have endured loss of that magnitude is just...inconceivable. Neil's experiences are far over my head. I can't possibly imagine ever knowing that pain. How he survived it all is inspirational, to say the least. And using that word doesn't do it justice. I have a video on YouTube titled "Neil Peart, the Ghost Rider" that features a song by another favorite band of mine: Evanescence. The lyrics describe the inner turmoil that Neil faced on his year-long journey to find peace. The song chosen is not by Rush, but for its lyrics and the power of Amy Lee's voice, it captures Neil's journey as he finds a reason to live following the deaths of his wife and daughter. I imagine Neil's devastation left him for a time divided between who he used to be and who he had become because of the loss of the two people he loved most in this world; hence the idea of him looking into a mirror and wondering which of him his friends and family loved. Also included is a quote that truly touched me, where Neil looked back on his (then) only daughter Selena just months before she was taken from him; as he embraced her and told he that he loved her. And, as Neil confessed in the novel, "it may have been worth the sorrow of losing Jackie and Selena for the joy of having known them." Like they say: "Death leaves a wound no one can heal. Love leaves a memory no one can steal." And like you said, thank whatever god that does or doesn't exist that Neil is still here. *Kahme dries her eyes* Awwww, please don't cry, HowItIs.

I think that one time when Comcast.net was doing a Mother Nature on me. I just got together with my new boyfriend last saturday, and I love him. At least he's aware it's my "thing" right now. Don't kill me, Kahme, but his name's Gary and likes to go by Geddy.... If you want a hug during this time of "that thing," I have plenty of them to give. They're free. I am certainly much calmer than most teenagers. Especially the girls. No pointless drama. *Kahme's eyes go wide and she snarls at the mention of the name Beiber* *She pulls out a huge machine gun from behind her back* Where is that she-male?! I'll kill him!!! I'll end it now!!! *She snaps out of it* Whoa. Sorry about that. I...just had one of my random, PMS-induced violent episodes. That happens every once in a while. Don't be afraid. At least I didn't harm anyone this time. Just stay away from the potentially homicidial part of me and we'll have no problems. I would never kill you, Courtney. No offense to you, but I have no interest at all in the male persuasion. I have nothing against them as friends, but I don't want one as a mate. Even if he went by Geddy. I'm weird like that.
