Some things that are said~

We must all be Prince fans here, and some more than others...even if some of Prince's fans are pretty rude...most of the time, regardless of all of the love Prince has brought us through his music.

I have a confession to make...Most of the time I joke around about things..Other times I carry the seriousness of the world with me and philosophically try to engage in conversation. Over the last couple of weeks I have gotten a little angry and it has shown with some jealous remarks and sarcastic replies...And when I see other people insult Prince or put him down, that really upsets me...because I've always loved him. I just want to say..that my negative junk is immature jealousy stuff...okay...I truly can get mad at Prince sometimes and want to come here and tell him I am...however...It is rare..
And it does come from someone that respects Prince's career, and it does come from someone that thinks about Prince all day long.
Anyway...If it's obvious...sorry...I keep trying to remind myself that it was never Prince's responsibility to answer my letters over the years...and I never got mad at Prince until this year.
You see...I believe that Prince knows that I have wanted to work with him on the road (not as a performer) since I was 18...and if Prince doesn't know...than I didn't do a very good job at trying to tell him... Now my life has pretty much beaten me up..so I don't have the strength to offer what I could have...so more or less...I became the Little Red Corvette, that ran her body into the ground.., I just wish I could have done that to myself 4 Prince...

You are hilarious Imago...Why don't U just have the guts to come out and cry about the fact that Prince won't be with a man. I've had to cry for 30 years that Prince wasn't with me...

And anyway...I think Prince King looks kinda cute.

If you believe that Prince knows that you have wanted to work on the road with him since you were 18, why do you think he has decided not to respond to you?

langebleu said:

I don't know...I honestly don't know if it is because Prince never recieved these things himself...A couple of things were "Return 2 Sender." When Prince was married, I didn't write...other than to send a sympathy card at one time...

The strange thing is...that friends of mine, that I traveled with on the road...worked for Prince...And when I could have gotten a pass through my friend...I didn't bother...

I have always tried to make Prince aware of my capabilities or desire to help, without being forceful...And now that my kids live with their father's...I have said to myself, If Motherhood...took me away from light design or runner work or whatever...

The fact that I worked for Belkin Productions, and Have numerous working passes...as I did work for bands...would lead me to believe that Prince would at least, professionally deny me as an employee...otherwise, I haven't any reason to abandon my dreams of being around music that I love, and helpful at the same time.

Thank U 4 asking.

Imago said:

oh crap! that's so mean, take it down

This picture doesn't bother me...I've seen too much other stuff that has...I personally don't know anything about Don King personally to be offended, as a Prince fan....

All I really know about the man is that he got into some trouble or somethin'.

I guess a fight promoter might...eh?

Tame... The world is just sometimes not what we want it to be. We can wish and wish for things and that is fine and good.... Though we all need to accept that some things may never happen and it's no fault of any ones...It can be painful to accept sometimes if you get your hopes a little too high and I'm sorry you are hurt. I'm sure that Prince appreciates how you feel. Try to find solace in that and know in your heart that he always will. To expect anything more than Prince can truly give you is putting yourself through much more than you deserve. I know you'd be happy for Prince even if he wasn't with you...so please be a peace with that....It's only when you are at peace that things you truly want will come to you.....or things you never dreamed of will astonish you....so hang in there and give yourself the love that you so want from Prince... Know that he cares and cares in the only way he can from where ever he is....we all love you very much Tame.... know that and try to accept it and let yourself be loved as you should... by people that can show it to you and recipricate your generous spirit. God has plans for you and all you've done is not futile....there's a reason for everything.....be strong and keep the faith.... you have a purpose....Above all God loves you... What greater gift is there.... hugs and hang in there Tame.....

That's funny Dayclear...

Thank U Madison...I guess we all have a range of emotions...and at my darkest end my mind gives up on dreams...and says...trade em' in for the truck stop waitress job, Yet on my brightest end...I believe 2 the grave...4 what is a life without a dream...even if life robs U of skin cells to the bone marrow. We are what we believe in. So If I'm all about Poems and Princes and Zebras' and Love and Christmas...as I rot away...so be it. Thanks 4 the love.

Tame, I'm sorry your Prince dream didn't happen. I am sure he cares. Maybe he got so many letters from people wanting to work with him he just couldn't invite everyone, you know? I am sure he appreciates your letters and yourlove for him and his music.

Not going on the road with Prince is at this point the least of my discouragement...

A Dream that is withheld...such as my dreams...are better shared in love.
I also look at Prince as a provider as a man...And as a woman, I look at myself as also having big dreams that I would rather see unfold with Prince by my side...rather than to have put all heart and soul effort into them without Prince.

It's like having a baby...The father showing up at the birth of the baby may be nice...however, to be with someone everyday after conception, makes the experience that much more.

Prince really had little choice...Prince had to follow and continue his dreams...they became a spiritual responsibility...Knowing that Prince was taking care of things, I had the choice to stuff my dream in a box...and let it sit idle....I want Prince's money to help me...Not some other Fortune 500 dude...And it is possible that Prince also knows the right cartoonists for the job...My dream is all about a Christmas Spirit 4 Kidz...and Prince is the Black Zanta I need.

Tame have you met Prince in person b4??

LizaWoman08 said:[quote]

Tame said:

Yes I have, I was seventeen. That was 25 years ago, and I've missed him every day since.

It's a strange thing to me.... having a dream....Is it really something you dreamed in your sleep??? Or is it something you've convinced yourself that will make your life all great and wonderful???? I've honestly never had "a dream"... An idea of something I want or feel I need to be complete or content....I guess it's something a lot of people do....I don't get it... it seems to set you up for disapointment....maybe that's why they call them dreams.....

goals are another thing....that is a process.... not a wish....

don't give up on your dreams, you never know what's around the corner

i doubt I'll ever get to see him perform live let alone meet the guy but you never know...unexpected things happen at the most strangest of times.

sorry to butt in but I just felt compelled to say something

Tame said:

You met him? What was he like?

poor prince, no wonder he's wkack

Madison88 said:

Well, maybe it's that extra spark of love that makes something a dream...I have rarely if ever used the word goal, other than at a sports game.

If your goal is to go to college...U can usually go...whether or not U do well may be another story...And I have said...To have a dream is to have something...To have it come true is a blessing.

Thanks smiler69...I won't give up.

cherrymoongirl said:

Quiet, Polite, and cute.

Sorry your Prince dreams have not come true. Seems like he's close to ur heart-maybe one day you will get a chance

nurseV said:

My dreamz are for everybody...Prince is the guy I want to share them with.

Tame said:

These are the kind of feelings that should be reserved for a lover or partner, not an unattainable rock star. what a waste, sorry to sound blunt.

LleeLlee said:

you and your harsh reality approach to life. what fun is that? why not dream about the unattainable?

do you suppose the keebler elves ever sat around all gloomy-eyed, slugging back whiskey and muttering among themselves "we can't make no stinking cookies!! we suck at making cookies!!" well? do you?

i think not! i think those hard-working little elves had a can-do spirit which carried the day AND their hopes and dreams. just my 2c ;f:

XxAxX said:

Funny you should mention elves, just the other day I saw one tippy toeing across the garden and I quickly sat next to it while my invisble twin took this picture

see now? good things can happen when we keep an open mind.

XxAxX said:

He looks like Prince

LleeLlee said:

see? have you ever thought that maybe prince was reaching out to you, spiritually?? http://prince.org/msg/7/286420

maybe YOU are The One. maybe that whole 21 nights thing in london was his attempt to be closer to you, to win you back from your husband or something. you live around there, right? see?

it isn't impossible, let's just say, which means it is possible, which means that it could be likely, which could mean that it's maybe even true.

think positive

XxAxX said:

Oh my god, since you put it that way. Yes I live around there, in fact I live IN the very arena, I have made a home for myself under the seats, near the back to avoid security.
