Holding On Till Help Arrives: Hold On! I'm Coming By Sam And Dave




Just when I thought I found a place where I might be able to generate some traffic and income, a big barrier just fell on me again. I won't go into details but it was big let down. I don't have resources for the requirements and even the free alternatives are out of my league. Still, I am determined to make some income online and I need to hold on just a little more till I get it right or till the answer comes. Sam And Dave's song "Hold On! I'm Coming" helps keep me going when I feel weary from these disappointments.

It's a known fact for all of us that life is hard and getting harder. We do what we can and it doesn't help that more crap gets thrown your way. Right now there are a lot of things that I want to do but don't have the dough to do it. Just when you thought there was a light at the end of the tunnel, it suddenly turns pitch black. I'm just trying hard to keep to my wits and think harder on how I'm going to get this thing to earn money.

As much as I'm down with another empty well, I can't linger on it. Got to get up and look for greener pastures. Things won't move unless you do and I guess I have to try harder. It's tough enough as it is but I don't want to give up. I just hope that I hold on long enough to see something good happen.

Magic Cure: Send Me An Angel By Real Life





Boy, just when you thought problem solved, another pop out of nowhere. It reminds of those horror flicks when you thought it was over then something grabs your leg. On top of that, there are still more problems piling up and the news alone stresses you out. This maybe wishful thinking, but sometimes I wish there was a magic spell somewhere that can make everything all right. Every time I wish that was true, the song "Send Me An Angel" by Cutting Crew comes to mind.

Although this song is about love, for me it's more about a quick solution to all the mayhem that life throws at you. It's bad enough that you give your all and it's not enough. To make it worse, more problems just keep coming just the zombies in the game "Plants Vs Zombies" and before you know it, they just ate your brain. I know life isn't fair but lately it's becoming more unfair than it already is. It really stings that you do all you can and no help comes cause it leaves one feeling abandoned and bitter.

Sadly, there will be no angel sent. The only thing you have to do is think hard and do it. You may win or you may lose but you're going down without a fight. Life sure is hard and we to be just a hard to keep up with it. Hopefully, an angel will come if we just hold on a bit

Another Song To Remind Me To Learn Where I Went Wrong: Cruising For Bruising By Basia

I guess one of the things that I keep blogging about is learning from past mistakes. It may be redundant at times but it also serves as a reminder for me to learn from the past or else I'm doomed to repeat it. Right now I'm desperate for another shot at getting back on track so I want to do things right. Otherwise, I might go down in flames again and that I don't want anymore. One song that reminds me to be careful lest I slip is Basia's "Cruising For A Bruising".

This millenium hasn't very good to me and as much as I don't want to whine and treasure the good times, there's been too much bad than good. I know this is a song about letting go but it is also about second chances and the need to know what went wrong. I don'r want to repeat my mistakes which why I have to tread carefully and learn why things went that way. Just like anyone else, I also want a second chance but until I learn from the past and shake off some habits, I might wind with another bummer.

I guess this is why I feel so tense lately. I'm getting older and everything is out of reach and it's bad enough that problems seemed to outnumber the solutions. Even if learning and understanding takes time which I'm running out of, I need to be patient and learn. Chances will always be there. I have to improve myself. If I don't it's just another cruise for a bruise.

When You Get It From Both Ends And Feel Groggy About It: Thorn In My Pride


I remember a few years ago when I got literally caught between a rock and a hard place. I won't the details but for some reason, there was time when I felt I was a in a middle of a very stressful situation between two sides. One side wanted me to do something but the other side told me not to do it and when caught between two bigwigs, I knew I was at the losing end of the stick again. I thought I would never get any relief from that awful predicament and when I think about it, I still get the chills. The song "Thorn In My Pride" by The Black Crowes reminds me of that dreadful period where I got from both ends.

What I can tell you is that this is what happens when two sides don't see eye to eye and your caught in the middle. The situation was bad in a sense that I didn't know how to follow which stressed me out physically as well as mentally. It was like tug of war with me as the rope. Thankfully, the situation was resolved, thus ending a really bad stalemate. I won't say how but one side won while the other's gone. I'm just thankful that I'm standing after that.

You know this isn't the first time I got caught in these crazy situations. This is what happens when there's lack of or no communications. The little people or innocent bystanders are the ones who gets and the worse part is that they didn't deserve it. Every time I think about it, I just shake my head and hope I don't go through that again. It really can be a thorn in anyone's pride.

Feels Like I'm In A Ghost Town: Ghost Town By Cheap Trick





Recently, I joined a new blog community and I liked it. I get to interact with other bloggers and traffic is starting to move again. But prior to this community, I joined two others during the summer and boy was I disappointed with those two. No matter how hard I try, I just wasn't making contact with anybody which really irked me. I felt that I was in a ghost town just like that song from the band Cheap Trick.

After finally getting my blog fixed and cleared of its attack status, the first thing I wanted to do was to generate traffic again and hopefully earn something on the side. This was difficult because the community that I joined suddenly closed down which presented a new obstacle for me. Things have been tough on all of us so I joined these two communities bragging that they are good for generating traffic. Alas, that was not the case for in one community, I kept having problems with logging in and nobody was returning my messages. The other was not user-friendly for every time I joined a group, my membership gets revoked because I failed to post anything on the so-called group talk even I keep clicking the button and nothing's happening and not matter how many messages I send to the members and administrators, I get no reply or help.

I like this new community that I have joined and the people are cool. I still have a long way to go with trying to generate income again. Still, I'm these other two community another try. I wish I can join another community where I ca n gain both traffic and some income as well cause I need to make ends meet. This doesn't mean that I got into blogging just to make money because it helps me gets some load of my chest and express what I feel at the end of the day. If these two won't I assist me, then I better quit cause I don't be in a ghost town anymore.

One Of My Favorite Romance Films: Someone To Watch Over Me By Sting



I'm not much on romance films but there's a hint of common sense then I might be motivated to watch it. I always believe that no matter how much in love you are, common should always be in the equation. You need it to know it if it is true love or just infatuation. Even if you don't get the girl in the end, the fact that you still kept your senses intact makes it worth it. One of my favorite romantic films was "Someone To Watch Over Me" where Sting sang title song which was originally done by Cole Porter.

The film was about a rich socialite who witness a murder and the policeman who was assigned to watch over her. Though they were to very different backgrounds, they were attracted to each other during the time he watched over her. This created a lot of complications for both of them as it was starting affect both their lives. Things came to a head when the killer targetted the cop's family to bring the girl out. In the end, the killers were killed and they went their separate ways with the consolation that they shared something special.

The reason why I liked this film is because the characters saw that eventually it had to come to an end. He still loved his family and she was only looking for someone to lean on. They shared something special and now it was time to move on. If that was done here, they would make it like they got together and that wasn't realistic. For me, letting go like that strengthens a relationship even if it means going on separate ways and that's why it's one of my favorite films.

Silence Here=Everything's Fine: Enjoy The Silence By Depeche Mode

A good day for me is when nothing's happening from morning to night. That may sound boring to some of you but when you get older and responsibilities start piling up, a moment of quiet, let alone a quite day is rare luxury. When things get so chaotic, it really turns your world upside down. You get stressed out and when there's more to come, you really wish for that quiet day because when nothing's happening then everything is cool. Enjoying a nice quiet day reminds of the song "Enjoy The Silence" by Depeche Mode.

When it's quiet around here, that means there's no trouble and everything's cool. You get to relax and your heart beat and blood pressure is stable since there's no stress. You get to organize your thoughts and be more focus since there's no rumble in jungle going on. Most important of all, your at peace with your environment. No need for artificial enhancements since everything's in order and there are no hassles. With a relaxing and serene atmosphere, you don't have to ask for anything more.

When you're in the real world, you don't have time for a lot of things and quiet moments are hard to find. Even when you go to bed at the end of the day, your minds in chaos about the things you need to do. Then there's everyday problems that everybody faces in the real world and it's becoming a really hard world to live in where you struggle to get by. That's why for me, there's nothing like a nice quiet day. I enjoy the silence for as long as I can for you'll never know when you'll have another.
