Songs

some new songs ive discovered


"farewell capeside" - A Small Victory. Homage to dawson's creek. and pretty well done too. Side note. if you watch the entire series from the first episode to the last, like I did one week last year during break, it really is a very bittersweet show. Probably one of the only shows where I favored the sarcastic secretly sweet jerk over the soulmate probable.

Shine/Falling Free/white ladder(album and song) -David Gray . You gotta love a brogue tottin irishmen singing romantic jingles.

Just another - Peter Yorn Good song. kinda shows the battle to dumb down your crush, only to realize no matter how you look at them, you are crazy about em.

Analyze This - The warming Hope . Indie song. good for one line that i could listen to forever. you'll know which one im talking about.

Forever Yours - Journey . To silence the "you dont appreciate 80's music" club. again, pretty good lyrics. Though im not on the "road" often so its hard to empathize. still, I can appreciate it.




So, I figured I'd ramble about old mike for a moment. Never, ever, EVER, like someone from an online game. You can take it from my experience. I could describe this in more detail, and I will just a tiddle, but its possibly one of the worst moves you can make. Following reasons
1. It's fake. You see them as (insert character model here) when in reality they probably arent ugly, but they arent the image you see at all. In fact, the better looking character they have in game, it usually fares the opposite IRL. Now, dont get me wrong, that doesnt apply to everyone. And im not even one to say that looks should play as big a part as they should, but thats how it is.
2. Its often long distance. Big no no. I'm down for the sweet "love can happen anywhere with anyone",which I still believe. but its possibly one of the most stressful and unneeded fustrations in someones life. And anytime server stability determines whether you see each other , theres a problem.
3. They could be lying. This is a huge one. It's so easy to talk about yourself on a game in ways that are only well, exxagerated. And putting blind faith in someone like that is highly highly unadvised by your fair Simon.
4. The girl/guy down at the coffee bar are much more easily had.

how can I talk about this? spending 15-19 pining over girls in this online game I used to play. Then finally I woke up one day and realized how much wasted time I spent on it. And it wasnt even technically pining. I just put so much faith in people that I didnt even know and got hurt by it. I guess this advice goes for chat rooms as well. just a generic warning. I'm sure if your in a situation like this, and reading what I just said, you will think im full of shit and are the exception, but trust me, its more pain than love in the end. And you cant cuddle with pixels. No matter how hard you try.


Anyone just stare at someone, be it a crush, infatuation, someone you like, someone you just cant have, and for a moment or two, imagine yourself kissing them? Or more, or something less physical. I often times find that happening. Or at least thinking about it.



and lastly. just a personal thought. I always think my poems start off with such crap, and end beautifuly. maybe im just a strong finisher. I dunno.
