Another One Of Those Songs That Calms Me Down When Things Get Crazy: Weather With You By Crowded House



One thing that I can say that the weather and my life is that you can never tell what happens next. I guess that's why I've been so apprehensive cause lately I tend to fear what new miserable experience will be thrown my way. In all that time, I forgot an old lesson and that's just take what life throws at you and make the most of it. Also, that a good song can also soothe your soul when things get a little crazy. One song that reminds me of that is "Weather With You" by Crowded House.

This past week was a real downer for me as one bad thing happened after another. Sometimes when bad things just keep coming it sure can be too hard to process. At times like that, you can really use some space to think and calm down. I did just that and it helped me feel better. Though the problems are still there, at least I was able to get hold of myself to face them once again.

Like I've always said, a good 24K song can be like aspirin or in my case paracetamol. Sometimes listening to it can really calm you down. I sure needed after such a crazy week. I don't what's going to happen next and I'd rather not ask. If it will come, it will come. Just take like you would the weather.

When I Feel Beat Up And Worn Out: Distant Sun By Crowded House



Yesterday I wrote about dreading the repeat of bad cycle which I experienced at certain periods in my life. Call me crazy or superstitious but these bad periods usually happen during the fifth year of a five year period. When that time strikes, I usually feel that things are looking up, only to get cut down to size. Things then start getting bad to worse to worse and the plaques that hit Egypt, I get physically, mentally and emotionally scarred. Last one really hit me so hard that it rocked my faith in God and right now I feel that it's lurking somewhere in the corner waiting to strike again. If there's one thing that I want to change, it's this cycle which I really want to break which reminds me of that song of Crowded House called "Distant Sun".

If I was asked what I want to change, it's this damn cycle. I'm mature enough to know that there are good times and bad times, but this type of cycle has been a thorn in my side for a long time, especially when the bad times hit. When it hits, I really feel like I have been battered and bruised and coughing up water from my lungs. Everything I've built up comes crashing down and in the end, I search my head for answers on how I could've prevented this from happening. I felt this one to many times that right now I'm trying to figure out what to do to prevent a repeat of the past.

Just because you came back from Hell doesn't you want to go back there. Man if I let this cycle happen again, it means that I didn't learn my lesson which really hurts. You know I've bore the emotional scars of the bad times without complaint, but right now I don't want to go through this experience again. It's something that I wouldn't want my family to go through either. Life has thrown a lot of hard balls at me and I took the blows as best as I could, but I want to break this cycle once and for all and I hope this time around that I will find a way to do just that.
