Pondering Relationships
She needs to be; herself
He needs to be; himself
Together they are united
~
Thoughts
Hers, his; individual
Separate; not ideal
Mingle the minds
Create a tale for two
Individualism is madness
~
Needs
Hers, his; individual
Separate; not ideal
Get it together
The hell with that
Merry Go Round
~
Goals
Hers, his; individual
Separate; not ideal
Personal success
Is motivating to both
Yourself and your mate
~
The strength is in the union
Restrain the individual
Weaken the bond

I was thinking about what people talked about when their was trouble in couple'dom'. It seems to me that people don't pay enough attention to how their actions impact their significant other. It's not about me, me, me and it's not about you, you, you; it's about we, we, we - made better because we invest in me and you. Got that? Makes perfect sense, eh? Tap out a shout out and let me know what you think about it all... love your comments and your visits to my space in the cyber world.

1982 Billboard Top 10 Singles
I thought I'd post another blast from the past for those who are a product of the 80's. In 1982 I was a senior in high school and loved the music that I was surrounded by. Loved to dance, hang out, beach hop with my friends all along Volusia County, Florida beaches... tried surfing a time or two thanks to a friend who knew what to do with a surf board... yeah, yeah, I hear him now... Stick with a boogie board dude (so not a dude; but then that was Pete).... those were the days. Lots of fun and sun - oh yeah, remember when MTV first appeared on the tube... well, Daytona Beach rocked for spring break in those days. Concerts on the beach, parties all day long, concerts down the row in the band shell and then more parties all along the boardwalk. It's sad today to stroll that stretch of beach and realize all that is no more. The shops are gone, the boardwalk is not the lively party strip it once was. No boardwalk rides, no game rooms, no small ink shops, bikini shops, t-shirt haunts, or snack food stops. I still love those beaches but they are much quieter now than when my friends and I haunted them. But enjoy the memories these songs bring if you were kicking ass and living the fun life back then.

Enjoy your memories!!

A Sister's Love
An only child
She was
Until she heard
The story
A soulful tale
Of heartache
One before her
Life taken
Ask her today
She is
One of two
Loving him
Because he was
Her brother

Angel Baby
Another year gone by but it feels like yesterday.
My pain has not lessened with the passage of time.
I grieve and cry for you, I beg God to care for you.
I loved you; I still wish a wish that can never be.
Bittersweet memories of you moving within my womb,
Unbearable guilt and agony I can't let go; devastation.
My questions are the same today as yesterday.
Would you be outgoing and quick to laugh?
Or would you be quiet and observant?
Would you have your dad's smile or talent in dance?
Or would you love to read and write like me?
So many questions left unanswered, never born.
I wonder about you every day, heartbreaking.
I dream, that one day at the end of time,
I will come to a place and find you.
When that day comes I will know
With all my heart and soul that it's you.
Happy birthday, my sweet angel baby.
I love you, I will always love you.
I carry your memory in my heart.
XO Mommy

Honeybee
Let me be your honeybee
Let me touch your body
Let me love you baby
I’ll make you weak in the knees
I’ll make you moan in ecstasy
I’ll make you beg for more
Your hands twisted in my hair
Your hands gripping my shoulders
Your hands touching my face
Let me feel your blood rush
Let me taste your desire
Let me be your honeybee

Rent - On Broadway
I love starting out the week with a music contribution. This week’s music post is about a Broadway Musical – RENT – unbelievable show – there are no words for this amazing piece of work. There is no way you could have seen it and not shed at least one tear. If you didn’t, then a cold heart you have, sorry if that offends anyone who saw it and didn’t cry. Actually I’m not sorry, I pity you, as you would have to be sadly lacking in human compassion (and a heart) to not have been touched by this show.
RENT closed a few years back; a sad day for Broadway and the masses who wish they saw it. In the late nineties I was lucky enough to see RENT. The show touched me in ways so deep that it made my life forever better. It opened my eyes and made me more aware of how life was affecting others in correlation with my own. A few years before the show closed my daughter went to see it and it moved her just as deeply. How could it not?
This phenomenal show touched on topics, at the time of its release, that were barely whispered about – they were taboo – homosexually, AIDES, drugs, homelessness and more of the “closet topics” – the ugly part of society as humanity has been conditioned to see it. Regardless of when the show was produced or the topics it promoted its message is as important today as it was when it was conceived. Check out the video and the video bar for other clips on RENT.
Also, for those interested in a chance to see RENT, off Broadway, here is some awesome news. RENT RETURNS! Previews begin July 14, 2011 – Opens August 11, 2011 – Visit New World Stages for tickets and more information http://www.siteforrent.com.
Enjoy!

I do not own this video. Posted for entertainment.
PS - There is a movie version of RENT that's not too shabby. Not the same as the play; but if you want to watch something with a message it's worth your time.

Life
Live your life as it is intended to be lived;
Full, joyful, loving, caring and compassionate.
To those who are cold, hateful and clueless;
Show compassion and understanding.
Be forever true, love and believe in yourself;
Life is more than judgments and empty eyes.
Look for true humanity among mankind
There you will find your most valued treasures.
