When Problems Get Too Much To Bear: Driven To Tears By The Police

When you're plagued by too many problems, the last thing that you need let alone want is more crap.  Unfortunately, the world doesn't work that day.  No matter how hard things already are, expect more of the same.  It's a cruel world getting more cruel.  The way things are, it can drive a person to tears. That said, I'm choosing the song "Driven To Tears" by The Police for this post.

Problems can be like a leak in the dike.  Once the wall is breached, it's hard to catch the water as it fills the place to the point of drowning.  It's like fighting multiple attackers at once and getting bruised in the process. You'd want to cry "Time Out" but it doesn't work that way.  it's either you keep up or you just fall and stay where you lay.

For me, I've taken a lot of lumps and I'm still trying to cope with all things that life throws at me.  I'm not a smart man but I'll be darned if I'm going to let this bring me down.  I'm tired of being pushed back into a wall by life's bad jokes.  No matter what I won't be driven to tears and no matter what it takes I will get past all this.  Other people have done so and so will I.

I Guess It Was Just A Dream: Only In My Dreams By Debbie Gibson

Whenever sleep really takes over me, there are times when dreams get really vivid.  I don't why I go along with the situation but as it unfolds, you really get into.  Just when the truth is about to revealed, all of a sudden you wake up in a messed up bed and realize that's time to go to work.  Jump into the shower and rush out to the house, hoping that you'd make it on time.  Yet even when you get you get it together and start the day's chores, in the back of your mind, dream still nags you.  That's the feeling that I get when I hear the song "Only In My Dreams" by Debbie Gibson.

Whenever I get caught up in these kinds of deep dreams, it really feels so real.  So much so that there are some dreams that I still remember from way back when.  One of the most annoying kind of dreams that I often experience is when I find myself in school again and wearing a school uniform.  It annoys me because I worked so hard to finish my studies and repeating or going back were greatest fears when I was a student.  The more vivid dreams are the ones that worry me the most because I feel like something bad will happen and I don't what that is.

Whether it was recalling a bad experience, a coded message or simply being in a cool place, even when you wake up you feel that it happen.  When a dream was that vivid, you really can't forget about it.  Well in the meantime, I better concentrate on what needs to be done now.  Whether it will happen somewhere in the future or not, only time will tell.  If it was just a dream,.then that's all that it was.

Always With Respect: Respect By Aretha Franklin

You know nobody's perfect because there'll be times when you bang heads with your relatives, especially your parents. You got your beliefs and they got theirs and the sad part about is that sometimes conflict can arise from that. Be that as it may, never forget that even though you have a right to voice your side, you should always do so with respect. Without it, even if you have valid points, it becomes meaningless. That's the lesson that I learned a long time ago and when I hear Aretha Franklin's song "Respect", it helps me remember that lesson.

Respect for parents is an important value regardless of race or religion, etc. No matter how wrong or strict our parents are, we still owe them a lot. Still trying to stand up for your beliefs is also the right of every individual. The problem is how we present our argument without ending hating each other. What is important is that you present your case politely and calmly. Here their side when you are done and try to find some middle ground from there because their should be compromise from both sides for their to be a solution.

What is important is that no matter the result is, the repect is always there. It's a fact of life that parents are sometimes hard to understand. By the time you are a full fledged adult, you should know what makes them tick. You can never change them but you can find a way to agree with them and get your point through at the same time. Just remember respect first and for most because without, you'll always end up losing not only your case but also their respect as well.

Anything To Make A Buck : Opportunities By The Pet Shop Boys

The recent economic recession sure hit people hard all over the world. Due to the financial, people are struggling as how to make ends meet. Some are taking a gamble by going to work overseas, while others are trying to a side line to earn extra income. Desperate times sure breed desperate measures. When I think about all the hard times that we face, I recall that song of the Pet Shop Boys called "Opportunities".

For some reason, I still can't understand the sudden downturn which put us all in this mess. All I know is the hard life has suddenly become harder. People are so desperate that they'll do anything to earn more. It's not that people are getting greedy, it just that they want to maintain that which they worked so hard to build on. The problem is in desperation some people wind up losing more than they gain due to bad financial decisions or money making scams. You really have to be very careful when it comes to money matters since money is so hard to come by now.

Some opted to work at call centers even if the job requires long hours at night. Others just go abroad sacrificing family life just to make more. Others simply cling to what they have. Either way, they'll do anything to get by. I can't blame them because it's felt by everyone everyday. Well good luck to finding something better but remember there's more to life than just money.

Hot Even At Night: In The Heat Of The Night By Brian Adams

problem with the summer season is that whether you stay in or go out, it is HOT!!! You either hang out in the mall or turn up the airconditioner to cool down (especially since you've just drain alot of your leave credits from frolicking in your favorite vacation spot). The trouble with that is that whichever you choose, you'll wind up with a big hole in your wallet since electricity, gas and everything else has skyrocketed. You have to contend with the heat during the day as well as the night. Thinking about this unrelenting heat reminds me of the song "In The Heat Of The Night" by Brian Adams.

With all the problems that we face, the summer sun really has a way of turning up the heat. Even the night doesn't provide relief from the hot weather for the air is hot. When that happens, it's hard to shake off problems that often hound you in the day. Instead of getting a good night's sleep, you wind up tossing and turning as the hot air fills the room and adds more discomfort. You windI up going to kitchen drinking glass after glass of water, hoping to that it will cool you off. Instead, you wind up bloated and still unable to beat the night heat.

I guess summer is really only for the young. I really get a big headache whenever the temperature goes up and to add problems to that really stinks. You sleep with the heat and wake up with it. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to cope. There's no escaping the heat whether it's day or night in the summer.

Love Both Their Good And Bad Qualities: She's Always A Woman To Me By Billy Joel

Any guy will tell you that women are pretty complex sometimes. A lot of times, they can change from character to the next. They also have a way of confusing you and keeping secrets from you, deepening the mysteries that they hide within themselves. You know you're in deep when you still want to be with them despite they're complicated character. That's because we grown to love them for who they are accept their eccentricities. That's what I think when I hear the song " She's Always A Woman To Me" by Billy Joel.

They say that if you really love that woman, you have to accept everything about her including her flaws as well as her virtues. A lot of times, her mood will change from kind to cruel and many times she will leave you wondering why she does what she does. Yet even when we get annoyed by their antics, we can't help but still love because that's part of their charm. Whether they bring out the good or the bad out of us, we can't deny the inspiration they give us. In the end, we just shake our heads and smile.

It may take time but eventually we get use to their antics and their moods as we get to know them better. A lot of times, they tease us, we just let it pass. It's strange, how despite the moodswings and nagging, we don't to part with them. I guess it's because they make us better men, which makes it all worth it. Good times and bad to us, they will always be women and we love all the more for it.

To A Cool Girl I Use To Know: Jackie Blue By The Ozzark Mountain Daredevils

It's not surprising for guys who to talk about a "special someone" who walked into their lives and turned it up-side-down. Some won the girl while others didn't and she still looms largely in their memories. Even if they didn't win the girl, they wouldn't speak harshly of her and instead remember the good times that they shared. Some are even greatful that they have met such a person because for a brief time that person brightened their lives. Whenever I think of such a girl, I listen to the song "Jackie Blue" by The Ozzark Mountain Daredevils.

I still remember her from way back when and everytime I saw her, she always had a way of stopping my heart. She always smiles and is very friendly to a lot of people. The first time I had a long conversation with her, I felt really different when I came home. I felt all charged up, like white hot steel that just came out of the furnace and my smile was from ear to ear. Even though she went with someone else, I still think highly of her for making me feel that way for the first time in my life.

I know all of us guys have their own Jackie Blue out there and they always have place in our hearts. They would always be special because they showed us a different side of life that we never knew existed at the time. To say it in one sentence, they taught what it love feels like for the first time. I don't know where my Jackie is but I do know she's in a good place and that she's happy. I am forever greatful for her for teaching me that and I wish her all the happiness in the world.

Cure-All/Salvation Song: Ace In The Hole By Paul Simon

Well things still haven't changed and if it has, the outlook is getting worse. Even though people go about like there's nothing to worry about, deep inside, their paranoid about what the future brings. At times like these, people try to find some kind of remedy that would help carry them through the tough times. Whatever it may be, so long as it's something that can save the day or soothe their worried souls, the important thing is that it saves the day. That's the idea that I get when I listen to Paul Simon's song "Ace In The Hole".

This song takes me back to the gym days when all we did was buy junk food, hung around and drank all day long. Back then, this song made me feel good everytime I watched it and now that I'm older I know the reason why. During these hard times, people got find something that will carry them through and lately that's what I've been trying to find. I know that I've made a lot of bad choices and wasted a lot of good opportunities and right now I'm looking for something that would carry me through the years while there's time to look for it. I'm not doing this for myself but for people around me and I hope I find that soon.

As consequence of my actions, I've been trying to find ways to finally stand on my own which is my ace-in-the-hole. Something that once I've found it, there's nothing else that I would ask for. This ace-in-the-hole is different from person to person it could be money, a person, religion, etc. The important thing is that it's something that can save the day. Right now I haven't found it, but once I do, I will share it. I know it's out there and all I have to do is look harder.

Still Standing After Taking All The Blows: The Boxer By Paul Simon And Art Garfunkel

Even though the new year has begun, I still feel the hurt of the past years. Ask anybody and they'll tell you they've had there share of hard times where things looked like they had no end. Man, everytime the thought enters my head, I had to breathe a deep, deep sigh to convince myself that it's over. When I think about all those troubled times, I'm just glad I'm still here and I weathered out the storm. When I listen to the song "The Boxer" by Paul Simon And Art Garfunkel, it reminds me of the tough times I went through and by some miracle, I'm still standing.

I can really relate to this song and I know I'm not alone. With tough times getting tougher every year, I wouldn't be surprise if everyone has this song playing at the back of their heads. Alot of miss opportunities and a lot failed attempts hang heavy on my head when the thinking starts to run in my head. At turn I tried my best to turn things around and wound up with my face on the floor. But each time, I was able to get up no matter how painful those blows were.

Well, the year has just started and I don't what it will bring this time around. I hope which I have always done every year that things will get better. I sometimes try to remember what I did or did not do which cause things to crumble so as not to repeat the same mistake again. Whatever the year brings, I'm going to start bracing myself for whatever happens. I just hope I get things right this time around cause it hurts to drop to the floor again.

What Listening To 24K Is All About: Listen To The Music By The Doobie Brothers

I just had my morning ruined again on the day that I was looking forward to all month long. To say that it's not good to wake up and be pissed the whole day is a gross understatement. Good thing 24K was on and to soothe my boiling temper, I simply turned on the radio and just listened to all those great and rare hits that I grew up on. It really takes me to a time when good music was all around us and that was all we needed. I get reminded of that when I listen to The Doobie Brothers' hit song "Listen To The Music".

This song takes me back to the garage days where we gathered around with all our cassette tapes and booze to chill out. Nothing but good music and laughter filled the air and some of brothers really got into the song as they lipsinked or actually sang along with the tape. I never claim to be a music expert but I do know that good music works wonders for the soul on any ocassion. When it comes to dancing the blues away, this song fits the bill.

I'm feeling a little better now after a good afternoon of cool songs from the past. You can say it's a cheap form of therapy which gives comfort to an otherwise crappy holiday. When I hear this song, I long for those day when we celebrated the holidays the way it should be celebrated. After what's been happening lately, I groan with the thought. Oh well, at least there's 24K and till something good happens, I'll let the music play and listen till I chase those blues away.

Hung Around With Anybody Cool: Down Boys By Warrant

During my last semester in college, the one thing that I hated was the fact that all the good schedules were taken and I was left with late slots. To make things worse, I had a four hour break in between those schedule. I felt it would be a waste if I went home only to return again. Luckily, I was able to meet with different kinds of people during my time in college. As a result, not only did I find a way to pass the time, I was also able to meet and hang out with different types of people with did me good. That's the reason why I remember those times whenever I hear the song "Down Boys" by Warrant.

It was a crazy time because one minute I was asleep in the library and cramming for my thesis in the next. Whenever I was with the long-haired rockers, it was all brews and spices. If I was with the geeks, I was exposed to Macross, anime, manga and other stuff(it was surprising the type of things these guys carry). Other times, I was with the run-of-the-mill types and just exchanged conversations till class started. It was a crazy way to finish college but I made it through.

It's been a long time since college graduation and I still am trying to get it together. Despite dealing with a lot of things both at work and at home, whenever I think of those crazy times, it takes some of the pressure of me. It really did me good because I was able to meet different types of people, learn a lot from them and best of all have good time with them. Thinking about those times really puts a smile on my face whenever it comes to mind. Just goes to show how much of a good time you can with different people if you just let yourself enjoy their company.

Always Wishing: King Of Wishful Thinking By Go West

A lot of times, I often find myself wondering if things were different. Sometimes it gets to the point that I find myself wishing for so many things. I know at this point in time, I should stop wishing and start doing. I just can't help it because a lot of things that I wanted to go right just went wrong. When that happens, you often find yourself wishing for better things. Whenever I get into this mood, it reminds of Go West's song "King Of Wishful Thinking".

Although this song is about getting over a break-up, you can relate that feeling to a host of other failed goals. When it comes to failed goals, I have so many of them that I can fill a whole dumpsite. Everytime things crumble, like this song, I try to get my wits about me and say to myself that this will past. In between, I fight the urge to breakdown or lashout even if that urge hurts a lot. As much as I try to rationalize it, I feel like another stake has been driven through my chest, leaving a huge hole in my heart.

As I end another year with dismal results, I once again try to make plans for the coming year. As I feel the weight of my age and the urgency of the situation, I have to regroup and rethink what I have to do not to make this mistake again. I hate to admit this but there's been to much wasted time and opportunities that I can't let another chance slip by me again. I know it's foolish to be too wishful, but I can't help it. After all, some wishes do come true if we try hard enough and thinks smart enough.

No You Don't : Prove Me Wrong By David Pack

Man I remember during one of my bad periods when a lot of things were taken away from me. Though I felt destitute and heart-broken, I also realize that I had two choices: either you finish your decent to failure or fight to reclaim what was taken from you. I chose the latter and proved those who took what I cherished that I wasn't going down the tubes as they expected. I wasn't going to let all that I held dear slip away without a fight after working so hard to attain it. Whenever I think of how things are against me during my darkest hour, I remember the song "Prove Me Wrong" by David Pack.

This song provided me with the fuel to reclaim what was taken from me during those down days. You know people all have dreams and aspirations in life and it stinks when something happens that threatens all we hold dear, especially when we worked so hard to achieve it. Whenever we struggle to achieve our goal, you can bet that there's some jerk out there who who'll try to gum up your plans and put you out of the race. When that happens, you got to fight tooth and nail to prove that you're on track and not listen to those who jeer at your efforts. When you win out in the end, the joke is on them who scurry out of sight when you are the victoer.

No matter how many times you win out in a struggle, you can be sure that there's a new one around the corner. Life is a never-ending struggle to survive and there cruel people out there who would like to see you fail. When that happens, it's time to stand your ground and fight hard for what you believe and hold dear. You can bet that they'lll be more and more vicious in their desire to see you fail. Just remember to hold your ground and prove them wrong.

A Cool Song That Everybody Can Agree On/Cool Soundtrack That Takes Me Back: On THe Darkside By Gerry Cafferty & The Beaver Brown Band

You know one of the dilemnas that people had during a party is what kind of music should you play. Some like to dance, others like to rock and those in between like to just chill. Getting songs that would please all three can really be difficult since each would insist on their own taste. Fortunately, there are some songs out there that would probably please all three. One song I recommend was a soundtrack from the movie "Eddie And The Cruisers" called "On The Darkside" by Gerry Rafferty And The Beaver Brown Band.

The song was about a fictional band whose singer suddenly disappeared. One of my favorite scenes in the movie was when the lead character was performing the song as a ballad and Eddie gave a more rock edge that caught on and became a hit. Whenever I hear this song play on the radio, it really takes me back to the good old days when there was always something going down and the drinks overflowed and was one of the few songs everyone would agree on at a party. The best way to enjoy this song is live in a bar with a cool beer and good cigar. Just sit back, listen and enjoy the music.

You know it's sad that there very few songs like this out there now. Most of the songs that I hear now are all about people who whine about the mistakes they make or about gloom and doom with no substance in it. Everytime I hear these new songs, I wanna shout at the radio and say "Oh Grow UP!!!" I wish we had more music like this again. Thank God for 24K because it's only there that I can listen to good music such as this.

If It's Not For Me Then What Is?: This Is Not For You By Pearl Jam

Ever had those times when you wish for something so bad and it never materializes. You try hard and channel your energy to do all that you can but it didn't work and all that effort goes down the drain. In the end, someone tells you it was never meant for you so just let it go. As much as I'm a level-headed person, I try hard to fight the urge to strangle the jerk who said that. What adds insult to injury is when the alternative that is offered to you is something you detest to the utmost that you want to scream to the high heavens "That's Not Funny!". Whenever I find myself in this kind of situation, I hear Pearl Jam's song "This Is Not For You" playing in my head.

Whether it's losing a dream job, getting passed over for some else, a rejected project or losing someone to another, this song really fits all these categories. It hurts when the thing or person you want the most was never meant for you and that's an understatement. I hate to admit it but I've been through alot of the above and it happened during the times when I needed it most. You keep wondering what went wrong and despite rationalizing on where you went wrong, the hurt remains. Like I said earlier, being given a lousy alternative is like adding insult to injury because that is not the one that you want and if people force on you, that's when all hell breaks loose. You can take so much when it comes to something you want so bad, that's when you draw the line.

That's why I'm begining to understand why no one wants to settle for anything less. It's either that or nothing. In situations like that, I realize now why people fight tooth and nail to get what they want because it's stinks when you're forced into situations you don't want to be in. Although it makes people stubborn, I have to admire them for their determination to get that which they really want. As I close this entry and looking back at the things and opportunities that I've lost I often ask myself is this is not for me then what is?

Birthday/Christmas Wish: Celebrate Me Home By Kenny Loggins

Well today is my birthay and another year has just past which I thank the Big Guy from above this morning. Apart from that, Christmas is just a week away as people make their last minute preparations to ensure a good celebration. If there was one thing that I wish for on my birthday is that everyone will be there when the big day comes. Celebrating Christmas took a new meaning for me when we started to drink together and laugh together because I felt our bonds grow deeper. My wish for this to come true gets heighten whenever I hear Kenny Loggins'song "Celebrate Me Home".

I never admitted this to anyone but whenever the family gathers around to celebrate, there is nothing more that I could ask for. Seeing the kids open up their presents and smiling at what they received while me and my brothers and sometimes my friends would break the evening silence with good music, beer bottles opening and a chorus of laughter. In all the times that we did that, it made me proud of who I was and who my family is. More than the drinks or the presents, what was cool was the fact that we were all there happy is always the best present that I can ever get. Seeing that and feeling that makes reminds of what family is all about.

You know even if there are no fancy presents, expensive food or even good booze, so long as I see everybody there, it is enough for me. I don't care if there are no Christmas trees and only dried fish is prepared so long as I see all of them happy then I am happy. With the way things are right now, I do so hope that a miracle would happen and things end well. I know it's childish of me to make such a wish, but then the holidays bring out the child in all of us so we better make sure that we wish for the most important thing. Christmas is all about family and if there's no family, then there's no Christmas.

Thinking Of Others On Christmas: All Alone On Christmas By Darlene Love

As Christmas fasts, approaches, people are already gearing up for the big day where we celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. Of course, for the kids, it's the time were they wait patiently for the clock to strike midnight to tear open their presents while for the adults, it's the time for families to gather and renew old aquaintances and share few drinks (sometimes too much). With all the hustle and bustle to ensure a good celebration, we should never those who might be able to celebrate: Those who have to work; who have no money and worst no family. Not everybody will be happy on this most important day of the year and that thought not only sobers me, but also saddens me. I know I'm being a bit naive about feeling this but I can't help it because no one deserves to be miserable on that day and whenever I listen to Darlene Love's "All Alone On Christmas", I always get that melancholic feeling regarding the holidays.

I remember in my first job, I almost spent my holidays guarding an abandoned building so some fat cat can call meeting when he feels like it. I'll never forget that melancholic feeling mixed with a little dread about being alone while that jerk is gourging himself on a Christmas night. I'm glad they decided to drop the idea because that's not my idea of a happy holiday. Whenever I see people who have to work on the holidays or worst are victims of a cruel twist of fate, my heart goes out for them. Call me childish, but I wish everyone was celebrating and happy on this time of the year. Christmas means nothing if the all the people you care about aren't there.

As we celebrate the holidays, let us think of those who won't be there on Christmas Day: Doctors and nurses on duty; Police and army personel on call; call center employees; hotel workers who are out there to serve instead of being with their families. Let also think about those who are no longer there and remember the good times we've spent with them. I do so hope that all wishes be fulfilled and that everyone spread the holiday cheers. Merry Christmas to all.

Real Good Friends: You've Got A Friend By James Taylor

What is a friend? Believe or not, there was a time when I didn't even know what that was and people who I think were friends only took me for all that I was worth. It was a long time before I learned what a friend was and I think about the few people who I am grateful to have met and taught what me what that word really means. A good friend is the next best thing to brother or a sister and I've been fortunate to have known a number of people who fit that description. Many of them have changed my life at one time or another and when I think of them, I feel like listening to the song "You've Got A Friend" by James Taylor.

Originally written by Carol King, JT made this song his own and has been an anthem for all good friends everywhere. It clearly describes what a friend is all about. A person who will be there through good times and bad and will never deceive you when others will. I think about two very important friends in my life: Jovy and Inaki. I thank them both for all the good times that we've shared and helping me through the bad times. Very few people will go the extra mile the way these two have and the things they did for me, I will never forget and can never repay.

A good friend is worth more than all the money in the world. The bond that you forged with them is so close that they are practically family. Even though I seldom see them, I always think about them everyday. I hope I able to hangout with them one of these days because it's been a long time since we did anything like that. Thank you both for the times we've shared and for being patient with me. You guys taught me what a friend is all about, thanks.

Caught In The Conflict: Crossfire By Stevie Ray Vaughn

Man, as the holiday draws near, I find myself once again with the bad case of the Christmas jitters. This is when you wonder if everyone will make it and if things go smoothly. I've been having this type of anxiety since 1997 and recent events have have only made them worse. I never told this to anyone and it's something that I've been feeling not only during Christmas, but on every important occassion involving people who are dear to me. The last two years have left my nerves shaken due to the personal conflicts that have not been resolved and whenever I think about how it affects everyone in between, it reminds of the song "Crossfire" by Stevie Ray Vaughn.

What I hate about conflicts is that a lot of people in the middle get hurt even though they have nothing to do with it. Although no one talks about it, I know they all feel bad about it. What I thought was resolved at the begining of the year has only grown worse and those in the middle can't do anything about but sit helplessly back and watch the bad story play through. As all of this is going on, I can't help but feel that something good has been destroyed and because of that, what were once strong bods have severed and nobody is talking to nobody. Nobody wants to take sides or intervene less they too get caught in the crossfire.

If there's anything that I want to come true on my birthday and Christmas is that this conflict end and that issues be resolve so that everybody can get some peace of mind. To be honest, not a day goes by when I don't think about this and now with the holidays with just a few weeks away, I feel my blood pressure rising as I pray that things will work out. I hope that this gets resolved and that both parties learn from what happen so that it would not repeat itself. I do so hope that happens instead of an ugly scene. I don't want to celebrate the holidays getting caught in crossfire argument that will only ruin things for everyone and I pray that it doesn't.

I'm Not Perfect: Human By Human League

Once again when my brothers see this post, they'll probably wonder why I posted this. Anyway the reason why I posted this is because this was probably best describes the feeling we get when we fall short of people's expectations or when we srew up big time. There's always a lot of pressure on us whenever everyone has their eye on what we do and we don't deliver, feeling the heat is just an understatement. It really hurts when you fail and you catch the ire of everyone around and any explanation that you make is written off as a pathetic excuse.
In the end you just say that you'e only human like that song by Human League called "Human".

Whenever you have a goal in mind, you really want to do your best, especially when a lot is at stake. When you fall short of your goals and see everything fall down the drain, it's even the tip of the iceberg. The hard part comes when everybody starts to grill in their own painfully individual manner. Again, what makes it worse is when you turned down or refuse other offers that in their eyes (or even your own) were far better. When you say that your only human, it's not acceptable. Try as much as you want to save the situation, you can't and when they chew you out, you really feel your human limitations.

I really don't like making excuses for my failures because I feel like I'm trying to wash my hands off my failure. As much as I hate to see things fall down the drain, I know there's no escaping the music. You have to face it, take it and learn from it. The only comfort I can get from such a bad experience is a reminder that to err is human and that there are times when I will make mistakes. I just hope that I do better next time. I know it's natural to fail or make a mistake, but that doesn't mean I like making them.
