Great minds think alike!

But then again, my son's name is Jake, so maybe that's it... (well, he IS named Jake...)

There isnt one thing specifically that's dragging me... its just little bits here and there of whatever annoyances are coming before me. However re: the Ledge, the whole fan club /Micks BBS thing is a bummer. I hope everyone can relax and work towards a peaceful solution.

A sincere THANKS from me to you all. Your giving me ideas, but furthermore helping my spirits. For that, I truly thank you. I know we are all on the WWW, but my feelings are sincere.

This might seem a little strange, but I often listen to Sometimes Its a Bitch when I'm depressed. The song is true (even if Stevie didn't right it!)- sometimes it IS a bitch, but sometimes its a breeze too. The whole song has that "there's always a light at the end of the tunnel" message.

And Gold and Braid is my absolute favorite song too!

I hope you feel better

"Gypsy" is always a pick me up for me and "Bella Donna" was always a real scream it at the top of my lungs songs too! Esp. "No speed limit, this is the fast lane! That's just the waaaay
that it is heeeeeeaaaahhhhh!!!!"

Definately "Think About It" or "Bella Donna" -- both songs about making it through the hard times when you're so low you can't see up.

"Think About It", totally. "Say You Will", too, possibly. Funny that both songs were apparently written for Christine.


Song of the moment - Love Minus Zero/No Limit

[MACFAN]

Gold and Braid
Nothing Ever Changes
Seven Wonders
I Can't Wait
Sister Honey
Ooh My Love
Sweet Girl

I was going to create another thread, but I might as well just post this here. I work as a part time manager at a retail store for money for school or whatever. Wednesday, I was counseled, aka written up, to the extent that I have 60 days in order to change my negative attitude because it's bringing the management team down. We work in higher stress situations where sales numbers are everything, so we have to really sell as much as we can to every customer. So, according to the store manager, my negative attitude is causing poor numbers (which is kind of a laugh in itself). I was so annoyed and mad Wednesday (now it's just funny) that I was thinking, what Stevie song will cheer me up. I suddenly thought of "Doing the Best that I Can," and it's so striking how much this song could be interpreted exactly as my experience. The other managers all told the store manager about my attitude but no one ever told me about it...leading to the point that I got written up. So, the lines of the song:
I just played the part, I didn't win or lose, maybe next time I'll think about how I'm feeling, cause I'm doing the best that I can, and the whispered secrets go on and on, no one says anything to anyone, you watch after her (him, or me), and your word is law, she (he, or me) thought (he) was out there, but nobody saw, I didn't win or lose, I just took the cards, but I paid a price for it all...I'm doing the best that I can...

Those words are exactly the type of politics happening in the store. I just think it's so amazing how I can always find a Stevie song that almost completely connects to my state of life. So many people think Stevie writes self-absorbed and way too abstract, but it's those things that make her songs able to connect to people in different situations. I've been playing that song in the car over and over since Wednesday...made me feel a lot better.

gosh it's strange to read that many other people are in this strange funk as well.... i can't get over whatever is bringing me down... and it's starting to freak me out- all i want to do it sit on my bed and cry... there's just something in the air... something very odd...

and so far i haven't really been cheered up by ANY stevie song except Reconsider Me... when you're all alone and need someone, telephone and i'll come running... it just makes me feel like maybe there is someone out there who loves me... a little bit of comfort.. i guess..

i wonder if it is something going on in the world in general right now that is creating this negative aura... or if it's just something in the fm fan world... whatever it is i want it to go away...

I hope the SUN shines on all of us soon!

Love and happiness to ALL!

And the days go by....
like a strand in the wind
In the web that is my own...
I begin again
Said to my friend, baby...
Nothin' else mattered
