Enforcer84 Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 Re: Musings on Random Musings Maybe Aerosmith is middle-of-the-road and lame now' date=' but at one point in time, they made [i']Rocks.[/i] Which means they're still cooler than most humans have a right to be. JG It's almost sad to say it but they may have been better off on drugs. I don't believe that because I loved Permanent vacation, enjoyed Pump and didn't start hating them until Amazing all the other songs that sounded just like it. I'd put St. John and Angel up against any of their old stuff, but the only Aerosmith I own besides PV is Classics Live one and two. Edit: Oh and Kings and Queens, and Remember (Walking in the sand) are two of the best songs EVAR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Gillen Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 Re: Musings on Random Musings It's almost sad to say it but they may have been better off on drugs. Umm... yeah. But I guess they decided not to kill themselves. Edit: Oh and Kings and Queens, and Remember (Walking in the sand) are two of the best songs EVAR. Yes. Wasn't "Walking in the Sand" a Phil Spector cover? JG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't "Walking in the Sand" a Phil Spector cover? JG Yes and it rocked on toast when done by the Ronnets as well. and I didn't mean that I wanted them to keep doing drugs, but they became awfully vanilla as time has gone on. Which is too bad, because the weight of their music catalogue is still as good as it gets for American Rock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Gillen Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 Re: Musings on Random Musings At around 9, my wife (having woke up earlier) stuck her head in and reminded me of the time. I picked my son up, set him back down in the office chair, and said "Daddy's got to get ready for work, buddy... we'll play again later." He immediately went into near hysterics that lasted until I walked out the door. He kept crying "I don't want you to go to work! I want you to stay home and be with me! Stay home, daddy!" He would not accept my "I have to go to work" in response. But I promised him I'd play with him after work, and that since I had tomorrow (Thursday) off, I'd play with him all day then. When I got home, I found a note left by my wife. She packed up all her things and all our kids' things and took them all to her folks, 300 miles away. She says that we have "irreconcilable differences", and that we need to "part ways and carry on with our separate lives". I never saw this coming. I never saw this coming in a million years. Sure, we've had our arguments, what couple hasn't? But Christ... I never saw this coming. I promised my son we'd spend all day together tomorrow... and he's used to me living up to those promises. I have no idea what I am going to do. None at all. My Word. You have my sympathies. JG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enforcer84 Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 Re: Musings on Random Musings This morning I woke up at a little before 7 am and had just enough time to take a shower and get dressed before my youngest son got up and demanded Captain Crunch and Blue's Clues. (My oldest son is in High School... he's good at taking care of himself these days.) Anyway, after cereal and cartoon puppies, my son came to me in my office, asked what I was doing, and when he was told "responding to my email" asked if he could help. So he sat in my lap and pushed buttons on request. "Push send". Or "Push the Q key" and so on. And when we were done with that, we went to http://www.noggin.com and spent the next two hours or so playing games that he could play. I provided helpful commentary and conversation while he played for about the next hour and a half. At around 9, my wife (having woke up earlier) stuck her head in and reminded me of the time. I picked my son up, set him back down in the office chair, and said "Daddy's got to get ready for work, buddy... we'll play again later."

I'm up and down but at least I saw it coming for months. Hang in there. I hope you get to see you kids soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoneDaddy Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 Re: Musings on Random Musings My Word. You have my sympathies. JG WTF? No, really... That sucks. That REALLY sucks. "Irreconcilable Differences" sounds like lawyer talk. Has one been in touch with you yet? Have you two ever done any couples couseling or anything? She didn't mention this to your older son? I've walked a mile in those shoes, and you see a lot more from that vantage point. On the one hand, he shouldn't be in the middle of this mess, but on the other he already is. Pump him for info. He's your kid, he's probably about as smart as you. What the hell happened? You have my deepest sympathies. I'd be out of my mind in your shoes.

Have you two ever done any couples couseling or anything? No. The first indication that there was a problem was her leaving. Which, in itself, might be the problem.

Guest George Kirby Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 Re: Musings on Random Musings Hope they give you the justice you want. I don't know if its justice I want, but I do know I want my son back. His only home for his entire life has been my home, and I have been his primary caretaker for his entire life. I have accepted that she wants to be gone, and that's fine... despite still loving her I want her gone too at this point. But my son is a whole different matter. I'm afraid she has underestimated my resolve on this point because she speaks to me casually of her having custody. Not going to be that simple.

Hmm, though come to think of it, I believe I saw an episode or two on cable in the last year. Still, weird thing to pop up in a dream.

It is weird how things happened. I won't get into it as I detailed a while back, but long before Jerry Lee Lewis did die, I had this dream that he died and was somehow born in or beloved in Charleston, SC (where I lived at the time, so THAT part made sense), and I was accused of killing him! Hadn't had any conscious thoughts of Jerry Lee before that for quite some time and he's not someone I listen to typically, even though he was one of the rockabilies I most respect. But to have his murder and me being blamed for it in a dream? What a wild association, the brain is very cool sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
