Keep It Under Control: Make Me Lose Control By Eric Carmen



As I've said before, my 24k songs help me calm down when things hit the fan.  These days a lot of things just burst into the scene and fill my life with worry.  Only these songs help keep whatever anxiety or rage I feel when things are bad and they are bad.  It's my only release after a long hard day.  One song that keeps me under raps is "Make Me Loose Control" by Eric Carmen.

I know this is a song about I guy who gets exited over the girl but it also reminds me to get a hold of myself when things are just plain awful.  I can relate with the part about turning the radio up which I do whenever 24K Weekends on the airwaves again because it takes me back to happier times.  Times when there was always something to do and your friends were always there.  You didn't to login to a social because you were physically with your friends and bros everyday.  The best about that is they took the crap away and things were always under control, in fact they were cool.  The sweet sound and the good company was enough to soothe the save beast when times were crap.


These days, it's a battle to maintain control as problems hit you from all sides.  There's no one to turn to and no place to go.  So all that I have left are exercising and my 24k songs to keep me under control.  These days there is always something that cause me great anxiety and worry.  I just keep it to myself and keep it under control.

Hate Rumor Mongering: Rumors By Timex Social Club




Being one to keep to himself, I always make it a point to mind my own affairs. What people do with their time is none of my concerns. However, there times when someone causes a stir with a careless whisper and before you know it, people start believing in it before you know it all chaos breaks loose. As it starts to spread, relationships and reputations are broken and what's worse is when it turns out to be false, the damage is already done. When it comes to rumors and the damage caused by them, I remember the song "Rumors" by Timex Social Club.

It's incredible how curiosity and assumption can take on a life of its own. A lot of times it's started by people who don't really know what happen. Still, add a little drama to the speculation and pretty soon everybody's talking about it. I pity whoever becomes the target of such rumors because it follows them wherever they go and it affects them personal as well as their work life. Sometimes it gets to the point where the damage is too great that it'll take time before they can recover from jerk's careless remark.

People who start such a ruckus are jerks in my eye. As for those who hear such rumors, my advice to you is try to find the truth before you start believing. Rumors are often started just to hurt people and if these people are good, then they deserve the benefit of the doubt. We got better things to do than listen to rantings of fools. As for those rumor mongers, go get a life man!
