The 2112 cover was the one that first got me, but, damn, I'll take him anyway I can get him!

I do have to give him his props. The last few days, I've been having some EXCRUCIATING pain in my leg (I've only been able to sleep for about 7 hours in the last 2 days and that has to be sitting up since I can't put my leg on any kind of a surface), and he has been waiting on me hand and foot, doing EVERYTHING he can to try and help me be more comfortable. He may be a royal airhead, but his heart is certainly in the right place.

Thank you, Sundog!!

Tonight's "Really! He HAS a brain! I swear!" update: He was going to make a hot fudge sundae by heating up the hot fudge in the microwave AFTER putting it on the ice cream....

My husband... * Thought you could make a 2-quart package of Kool-Aid using 1 quart of water and leaving the sugar out. * Was admiring a friend's LA Gear shoes and thought they were cool because they were imported. (Another friend looked at him and said, very dryly "Yeah, we're thinking of making California a state any day now...") * Got upset when I asked him to reseed the lawn because he didn't want to have to dig that many holes * Spent about 3 hours one night trying to figure out what was wrong with his computer, then excitedly announced he'd narrowed it down to being either a software or a hardware problem.

Just thought I'd add a bit of something to brighten our day! http://shadowedsouls.com/images/r30-121.jpg http://shadowedsouls.com/images/vaportrails-86.jpg http://shadowedsouls.com/images/vaportrails-20.jpg http://shadowedsouls.com/images/thewordsandthepicturesv2-29.jpg http://shadowedsouls.com/images/cap238.JPG.jpg

static on your frequency electrical storm in your veins raging at unreachable glory straining at invisible chains and now you're trembling on a rocky ledge staring down into a heartless sea can't face life on a razor's edge nothing's what you thought it would be All of us get lost in the darkness Dreamers learn to steer by the stars All of us do time in the gutter Dreamers turn to look at the cars turn around and turn around and turn around Turn around and walk the razor's edge Don't turn your back And slam the door on me it's not as if this barricade blocks the only road it's not as if you're all alone in wanting to explode someone set a bad example made surrender seem all right the act of a noble warrior who lost the will to fight and now you're trembling on a rocky ledge staring down into a heartless sea done with life on a razor's edge nothing's what you thought it would be no hero in your tragedy no daring in your escape no salutes for your surrender nothing noble in your fate Christ, what have you done? (I leave out the first verse because I've been out of school for too long, but the rest applies). I first really listened to this song while I was in the hospital after a suicide attempt. I think it hit me harder than all the therapy they gave me while I was there - and while it's no "magic pill" by any stretch of the imagination, when I'm getting down that low, I can listen to it and it helps me remember that there ARE other options, if I'm willing to turn around and work my way back to them, sort of like a tap on the shoulder bringing you out of a daze. Once when I was feeling really low, I actually wrote a poem in "response" to the song. Thankfully I don't feel that way very often: Some days the pass is far too wide, the razor's edge too keen To turn around and face the fear of future fates unseen No more running, no more flight, the battle will begin Against a monster deep inside, the enemy within A weapon made of fear and rage to batter at the soul The fear of hope, a rage at fate begin to take control Then darker, darker spiral down, the way out is so far Even for the dreamer who has learned to steer by stars Other favourite Rush quotes: "Ignorance and prejudice and fear go hand in hand" - Witch Hunt "There is no love without pain" - Secret Touch "See how it sings like a sad heart, then joyously screams out its pain... sounds that build high like a mountain or notes that fall, gently, like rain" - 2112 "Discovery"

QUOTE (still have made a choice @ Jun 24 2005, 01:27 PM) Do u think "and the meek shall inherit the earth" is directly fromt he bible, or do u think neil just made it up? I don't think most translations of the Bible use the "...and" before "the meek shall inherit the earth" - it's usually "Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth". However, Neil was FAR from the first to use the "and the meek shall inherit the earth" phrasing. We were discussing this on another board and I did a bit of searching and found it in books, speeches and other such sources going back as far as the early 1900's before I finally gave up looking

Oh, happy way to end the day!

I was trying to learn to like Rush because the guy I was all hung up on at 15 spoke only in Rush lyrics and Tolkein quotes... couldn't get past Geddy's voice, so he played YYZ for me - and that just changed everything - the guitar work just totally blew me away. THEN he played La Villa. I haven't looked back since. I was so impressed I started learning to play guitar, and the first time I saw a picture of the man behind that music, it was complete love at first sight! Even changed my taste in men - before that point, most guys I found attractive were very clean-cut, neat, "manly"-looking men - and anything, even a hint of nail polish on a pinkie finger, was enough to turn me off (seriously - one guy I'd had a crush on for a while showed up in a pick with his pinkie painted and it just turned me off entirely) - - but the first time I saw Alex, which was on the cover of 2112, it was just a complete YOWZA! moment, and since then, most guys I like have had long hair, delicate features and - frighteningly - look good in makeup. But even though Alex doesn't look much like that anymore, he's one of those that will always own a piece of my heart!

Hell, his musicianship is part of what makes him so attractive! His music is so full of passion and fire, and that has to come from within him, and it's oh SO very sexy! Throw in those beautiful eyes and that amazing smile, and what's not to love, eh?
