Left Wondering: Still Wonder By Johnny Lang

One thing that really stresses me out in my life is the fact that there are so many things that turn my world upside down.  I mind my own business and do my best to stay out of trouble.  Still something or someone comes out of the blue and the next thing I know is that everything's hit the fan.  In the midst of the mess, I'm left wondering what the heck happened. It really reminds of the song "Still Wonder" by Johnny Lang.

I know this song is about a guy wondering about a girl but just like that song, I'm left with a lot of questions.  The questions aren't about a girl rather about an incident that thrown everything into chaos.  I thought things were starting to look up that year and everyone was so happy.  I can't believe that things that bad happened and ruined everything.  The worst part is that even though this is a new year, the issues from the past are still there and remain unresolved.

One thing's for sure, it hasn't given me any rest and I haven't had peace of mind since things blew up the way they did.  I don't want to accept this as a fact of life and just bear it cause I've been doing that for quite some time and I can't stand it anymore.  Still, there are things that need to be done and I'm doing them as best as I can cause life doesn't wait for anyone.  It is hard though with all this questions  and issues that weigh heavily inside me and everyone else.  I hope this gets resolved because I don't want to be spend my life wondering about it.

  

Pushing To The Breaking Point: Breaking Me By Johnny Lang

Just woke this morning with an awful headache.  Had partied out with my co-workers and things went on to full swing and I just went with the flow.  I guess the reason why I let loose that night was just to forget all the crap that life's been throwing at me this year, a lot of which really hurt me to the brink of breaking. It has given me no rest ever since it started.  When I think about the crap that's driving to the breaking point, it reminds me of the song "Breaking Me" by Johnny Lang.

As this year draws to a close, I feel very depressed again.  I had high hopes when it started and just when things looked good, once again life starts playing cruel jokes.  Before you know it, the dark cloud forms and everything falls apart. It really hits you hard.  What makes it so insulting is when the crap keeps coming and you're hanging by a thread.  I swear life has a way of pushing you to the brink.

Still I go on.  As much it hurts, I'm not going to let this break me.  I still believe that somewhere in this dark tunnel is a way that leads to the light.  Though it's annoying that one problem after another is hurled at you like some stumbling block to keep you from reaching your goals, you shouldn't let that stop you.  Life drives you the breaking point but don't let it get to you so fight on till you reach your goal.  Keep on fighting no matter what.

Cursed Rains: Still Rainin By Johnny Lang

These last three days sure have been a bummer.  Just when you thought that it won't rain, it does.  Whether you go to work or go home, it can sure ruin your day.  It's not just the rain in the weather but also the constant shower of problems that keep pummeling people day by day.Whenever either or both kinds of rains starts to pour, the song "Still Rainin" by Johnny Lang comes to mind.

The difference between the two rains is simple.  The first really deals with the elements while other deals with the crap that happens in life.  The former gets you soaking wet while the other leaves your blood pressure rising.  One thing that they both have in common is that they're real downers.  When the two strikes at once, it can be a real downer.

It's really sucks when the real thing and the metaphor hit you at the same time.  Just when things can't get any worse, the just got worse.  Well that's life I guess.  Just tough it out and wait for the sun to shine.  Hopefully it'll chase those cursed rains away..

When Lies Are Better Than The Truth II: Lie To Me By Johnny Lang

One of my earliest posts was about the times when people prefer lies to the truth.  I remember using the song "Little Lies" by Fleetwood Mac for that post.  I wrote about it because sometimes the truth is so cruel.  It gets so cruel that we don't want to hear it anymore and would rather have someone whisper some sweet lie into our ear just to make us feel better.  Since I'm blogging about sweet lies I'm Johnny Lang's song "Lie To Me" for this post.

Sometimes the truth can be very over-bearing.  It gets to the point that you don't want hear it anymore.  There are times when you want to retreat to some place where you'd rather hear good things even if they aren't true.  You savor every minute and even if it is a lie you don't care because you've had enough of the truth which only brings you grief. Sometimes we can all use a little flattery to get us through the day.

Still, we can't stay in lala land forever.  Once we had our fill of the lie, we have to face the truth no matter how ugly it is.  Hopefully, we'd be able to turn things around.  Once we do, then we don't have to listen to sweet lies anymore.  But until then, a sweet lie can sometimes be better than the truth just don't get stuck in it.
