Rolling Down The Road And Leaving Everything Behind: Roll Me Away By Bob Seger



A lot of recurring themes in my posts is also about just driving away and leaving it all behind. The reasons for this is too just get away to get some  peace of mind or to find that which I have lost.  I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people are doing that this summer cause there comes a point in our lives that we need to have some time clear the cobwebs out of our minds and a road is one the things that can do that.  Apart from that, a change of scenery would do us good, especially after a having a day.  Another good that I would listen to when and not if I do this would be Bob Seger's "Roll Me Away".

Just listened to this song a few days ago and boy did it make me feel good.    This is one of those songs that inspire to just get on your car or better yet bike, step on the gas and just leave everything behind.  Just go where the open road takes you, mingle with other people and appreciate the sights.  And if you need to take a pause, just gaze at the landscape and inspiration takes a hold of you like a light in the dark (I got that from the part where he saw that young hawk in the sky).  When you feel invigorated or better yet sanctified, that' when you know the trip was worth it.

I know I've been blogging a lot of about wanting to do this sort of thing and I wouldn't be surprised if someone would ask me why haven't I done it yet?  Well right now there are a lot of things that need to be attended to.  I just wanna make sure that I get fix to at least a level where I know I can all behind for a while.  I know problems won't go away but there are some things that really require one's attention and support.  Mark my words though, one day I will do this.  Hopefully, not only will I enjoy myself but also in the process, finds the answers I seek.

That's Life: Turn The Page By Bob Seger



Well it's no officially 2013 and you know what:  I DON'T CARE!  Sorry folks I'm still a little upset about how the holidays went down.  Sadly, there's nothing I can do about it anymore since Santa has called a night and the fire crackers have wrung out the old.  Right now as I blog I watch as the day is already fading and the night is now coming.  As I do so, I am listening to Bob Seger's song "Turn The Page".

I thought about using Metallica's cover for this post but I decided to go with the one and only original.  Woke up late and had left-overs for brunch and as I eat, it's strikes me about the term "left-overs" because I still have a gripe about the things that happened during the previous year that still lingers inside me.  Not even the holidays were spared and once again I was made to accept the unacceptable.  That's one bitter pill too many.

So another has passed and I try to be optimistic that things will better this time around.  Why do I do not believe.  I don't want to be pessimistic either.  Still, it's a chance to start over and hopefully things will turn around this time.  Well, that life and you'll never what to expect.

Shake Downs Are A Downer: Shake Down By Bob Seger




When people ask me what I want right now, my answer will always be to simply live peacefully and be able to do what I want to do. It may be a boring answer but to be able to be stress-free is something of a rarity when you get older due to the demands that life puts on you. That's why one of the things that ticks me off is when things happen that turns my world upside down. When crap happens, it leaves me tired, stressed and very angry. When the tranquility that you enjoy gets messed up by some bad news, Bob Seger's song "Shake Down" comes to mind.

As I've said before, the things that I wanted to be or do are now a distant memory that I just try do deal with as I go about with my life. Things are hard enough already and trying to find solace is now hard as you have very little tine for yourself which is why a shake down is the last thing that I want to happen. It gets worse when you've just been through a bad day and then something else happens further extending your agony. It's like adding insult to injury.

I don't bother people and all ask is that people don't bother me. I've got enough problems as it is and don't like it when my routine gets disrupted. It'll only cause more grief to everyone around. That's why I stay away from trouble as much as possible cause it causes a shake down that is really a bummer. For those who think I'm boring so be it and just let me go back to my boring life.
