Through The Hell... Some Tunes...

*** ORIGINAL ***

Today has been gloomy so far -- another sad, gloomy day. It hasn't been as bad as yesterday but that doesn't mean I'm close to being back to normal. Haaa! Yeah right! So often, and I may have typed this after my run last night, I'm shaking my head and wondering why this is happening. It's not right.

It all just doesn't seem real and it doesn't make sense. We must accept but sometimes we can't agree with a decision made by someone we love. It's so much more difficult and perplexing when that decision goes against so much that was said and against everything that was talked about concerning the future. In time, things were going to be okay... together.
They still can be!

Taking the new path is not throwing away the past. The past is still part of a person and hopefully a wonderful part! But when it's time for a change, and that person has taken steps towards that change including falling in love with someone who is so wonderful for them, someone they so very much want to be with, someone who makes them feel soooooooo good inside, why decide to turn 180 degrees around and go right back to the same old prison? When what's better is in the distance, why decide on going back to the past?

It's right to accept that decision...
but it doesn't mean it's the right decision.

I think the right decision is to not hurt the one who has the most to lose in the end, the very same person who has the most love to give.

Isn't it better to move forward with that person and hold on to them for dear life? If hurting that person isn't just hurting them but also destroying them and leaving them with nothing, why would someone do that? Why, especially after saying that's something you would never do?

Through all the wondering if any of this hell will ever change for the better, and through knowing this is also hurting my dear friend, I've got a list of things to accomplish in the next week. This is not easy but I ran last night so one down. (The list didn't say to keep running regularly... but if that technicality was reversed after the fact, I'd appreciate it and would look forward to putting forth the effort. Otherwise I just don't have the will.)

Post a -- I'm assuming a Dead or related -- show is also on that list. Unfortunately there is just no way I can possibly enjoy music yet... so this (below) doesn't count and posting a show is something I'll still have to work on.

I thought I'd try to post some tunes anyway, something that some people might enjoy listening to. I've heard this before and I wasn't sure but yup, I've still got it... so here's a show for the taking if anyone's interested....

Back in February I pulled this off of
the now temporarily defunct Sugarmegs.org.

Fortunately, for anyone who wants to hear the show,
I didn't delete it after I listened to it.

Unfortunately, the whole show is one long .wma file
...but it's still very listenable.
