Breaking Bread

Boy Scout loves music, all kinds. I’m more selective and sensitive towards what I call, and have always called, racket. I dislike electric guitar solos with a passion and any music where the instruments are louder than the singers. I also don’t like the screamers, so metal is out.

One other thing I don’t like: BREAD. The sappy love songs 🤮. When other love songs come on, they will often get an “Oh god. This could be Bread” from me.  The other day I Go Crazy came on the radio and I told him this could definitely be Bread. Yuck! He countered that it was much more Ambrosia than Bread. He had a point. Ambrosia sits only a few notches above Bread in my book. 

I would say I just hate sappy love songs but then I’d have embarrassingly admit to my Barry Manilow bent. It’s personal. It’s just Bread. Boy Scout just shakes his head in disgust. 

Do you have any bands that are just too saccharine?

    What I hate are those saccharine cornball country classics designed to squeeze a sentimental tear out of the listener, like "Watching Scotty Grow."

    I listen to it all and sometimes dislike songs individually, not a particular group or genre. I can’t think of anything I really dislike now.

    Ha! Barry -- he had good songs. His album with "When October Goes" is a favorite. I can't remember the name though and don't have it on CD. I like most but no -- electric guitar and solos and loud and banging is not for me!

What do you have to say about that?

A Journey To Home

My tender hearted girl decided she wanted to foster an old lady. Selkie is 14, is nearly deaf and nearly blind, has a hard time walking and uses her bark to get her needs met.  She got her home, took her for a bath and then basically loved this old girl for three weeks until the property manager decided that it wasn’t a good match (barking too much AND because she is a pit bull).  My girl knew it was probably temporary but she gave that dog a comfortable loving home, away from the chaos of the shelter, for a short time.  Ideally, she would have walked her home but that’s not how it worked this time.  Last night she stood and ugly cried on a strangers shoulder after giving her back.  I love that girl and her sweet heart.  I wish Selkie a new final home full of love.

Private Eye

We pass by the house frequently since it sits on a busy thoroughfare. We know to look every time we pass and guess what will we see. Will it be the two Dalmatians, sitting on the couch that backs up to the giant panel window, waiting for their human to come home? Or will it be their human, sitting slightly to the right of middle (allowing for a better view of the giant mounted tv across the room) of the said couch. They are never there at the same time. It’s one or the other. One sleepless night, when my body was willing but my brain was not, I did a little sleuthing. It’s amazing what you can find out about a complete stranger.   His name is Gary and, from what I can tell, he’s never been married. He has worked his way up in a air duct company. He’s now the senior VP but it’s a small company and he still goes out on jobs, judging from  the reviews on Yelp. I know he has two siblings and that their father passed away in 2018. His memorial was held in a Buddhist temple and Gary...

Go!

 Vai. E, se der medo, vai con medo mesmo. When one is raised in an angry family, it’s not enough to say I don’t want to be angry. You must learn how to do it differently. That’s no easy task. If judgment and self hatred became a way of life, a new way to live has to be taught. There are many ways to do it. Reading, writing, sharing, practicing all help the change. Counseling, psychoanalysis, religion, meditation, gratitude, have the ability to transform but I needed to see it in action, it needed to be more tangible, visual, accessible. I needed to understand the possibilities. There is a YouTube channel that I watch over and over again in order to absorb how to live more fully, more open and from the heart. One of the first episodes that I stumbled on is this…. The channel is Reflections of Life and through it we get to meet people who are doing life a little differently, often more soul based. People who are living life, healing wounds and finding what is truly important.  I...
