I used to change mine all the time, but I've had this one for a while now.

A few months back, I went to see I Think I Love My Wife with a friend of mine (we used to get it on a little, back in the day). Anyhoo...

We went out for a "drink" after the show (I don't drink alcohol anymore, but you get the picture). There was a small combo playin' in the bar and I guess she asked me if I still played much. I told her that not only had I not picked up a guitar in a long while, but I really wasn't listening to that much music at all anymore.

At a certain point, the band went into William DeVaugn's "Be Thankful for What You Got". It'd been so long since I'd heard it, I wasn't even sure of the title. I'd forgotten how much I liked that song.

When I got home, I looked it up online and found the Massive Attack version on YouTube. It kinda just matched the mood I'd been (and remain) in. I think it started a while back when there were all those news reports about that woman who'd had a "face" transplant. There was a piece on CNN that featured a man who had an upper face prosthesis and I think it just shocked me into stopping my whining about petty things and getting the fuck on with it; appreciating all that I have. I added the little Pree-onse "YES" heart thingy a little while later, to make the meaning less ambiguous for those who aren't familiar with the song.

The MA version seems to be gone from YT, but here's the orig., for those who don't know it. It's a very summer-y tune:

Thank you. biggrin

I allow myself to have dark chocolate- usually a piece of organic dark 60% or higher cocoa whenever I crave it.
Otherwise I will wait and eat the entire bar all at once.
Moderation is key right?

I love dark chocolate. I have 70% cocoa downstairs. It is healthy and good for the body and mind.

Mine is from the Marc Anthony song "Por Amar Se Da Todo"

Por amar se da todo en la vida
mil te quieros tambien el adios
una lagrima y una sonrisa


Which translates as

For love you give everything in life
A thousand I love you's and also goodbye
A tear and a smile

I just picked it 'cause that is one of my favorite songs shrug

Mine is from a Cibo Matto song. I posted it to match my avvie, which I posted when I was craving a cupcake one day.



Shut up and eat!
Too bad, no bon appetit!
Shut up and eat!
You know my love is sweet!

Yes, I'm cooking for my son and his wife
It's his 30th birthday
Pour berries into my bowl
Add milk of two months ago
"It's moldy mom, isn't it?"
I don't give a flying fuck though

Shut up and eat!
Too bad, no bon appetit!
Shut up and eat!
You know my love is sweet!

You were born in the 60's
We made a war with the Vietnamese
We loved LSD, we died easily
Can we just say c'est la vie?
So what! Say what! For your own sake
Do you have a headache or heartbreak?
Are you made or broken by the birthday cake?
You may be slow on the uptake
I pour pot in the birthday cake
So what! Say what! For my own sake
Watch out yo! Here I come yo!
I'm gonna change to a rattlesnake
Turn up the TV! Do you agree?
Yeah, I'm talking turkey Take it from me
I'm gonna show my love for my dove

the first one is the last line in "Papa" because I loved the rain and the rainbow that appears after the clouds clear.

the second is from Tombstone when Sherman McMasters basically asked Doc Holliday why was he had Wyatt Earp's back when he went after The Cowboys. I have a butt load of acquaintances, people I know and such but friends, true friends I don't have a lot of them.

i don't know if that's the one i have...i have a solo album by one of them, it's really really jazzy...it's pretty good, but a little "difficult" for me to enjoy unless i'm really in the mood for it.

It's probably one of Yuka's album ,because Miho's is more ambient/electronic.

Miho's "Barracuda" video is trippy, and the song is one of my favorites from her album.

I don't really get the purpose of a signature. Most the time it's bunch of nonsense, some sort of "in-joke" and it makes the thread conversation messy and distracting...

The first line in my signature is for the Org gentleman I am in love with as a response to him asking me what love is.

The second line is in tribute to Illustrator calling me that upon my return to the Org two months ago.

First, I eat spicy food.
The second is from actor Pedro Infante and I believe this might be true.
Third, it means "once and one more time again". That's between someone and me. smile (it's not physical if that's what others are wondering).
I really like spicy food. I mostly put Jalapenos on a lot of my food.

From the intro of Xenophobia - One Nite Alone...Live!

I thought the phrase on its own carried a powerful message.
To strive for an open mind that's flexible and willing to accept something new and unexpected.

When I heard it, it was without "slightly", but I didn't find it written that way so I quoted like written. Anyway, I found it pretty profound coming from an Apollo 9 astronaut. And true, given enough collective focus.

But I'm changing it soon, perhaps tonight to something from a book. So this won't make any sense very soon.

Semper et infirmi est animi exiguique voluptas Ultio (Decimus Junius Juvenal) (Revenge is always the weak pleasure of a little and narrow mind)

I chose this one because I was going through a rough time in my marriage, and I anticipated my wife's worst side to come out....especially as it related to certain info that she could've released that would have put a serious dent in my military career...so it served as a prayer into the wind that she would rise above the muck and work with me to fix things....which she did...

He was like a cock who thought the sun had risen to hear him crow.
(George Eliot)


I chose this one because somehow, somewhere, the idea that I'm stuck on myself always makes the rounds..... whistling

"I'll be more enthusiastic about encouraging thinking outside the box when there's evidence of any thinking going on inside it."
(Terry Pratchett)


This is the sig I use on my official Army Outlook account.....

It is a reminder of what is really important in life.....at the time I started the account I was dealing with some cruel and abusive people. It takes much less energy to handle people/situations like that with kindness, compassion and a peaceful heart, than with anger and bitterness.

Corny, but that is the scoop.

cool
