Are you ready to quit?
Are you ready to learn?
Are you ready to find the spark inside and let it burn?
I'm the walls that close in
I'm the words you won't say
I'm the voices you choose to keep inside
And lock away
Everyday
****
I don't want to be flawless. When I go I want the cuts to show.
****
Passion. It lies in all of us, sleeping, waiting.
And though unwanted, unbidden, it will stir.
Open its jaws and howl.
It speaks to us, guides us, passion rules us all.
And we obey, what other choice do we have?
Passion is the source of our finest moments.
The joy of love, the clarity of hatred,
and the ecstacy of grief.
It hurts sometimes more than we can bear.
If we could live without passion,
maybe we'd know some kind of peace.
But we would be hollow.
Empty rooms, shuttered, dank.
Without passion, we'd be truly dead.
****
'Cause sometimes you just feel tired, you feel weak
And when you feel weak you feel like you want to just give up
But you gotta search within you, you gotta find that inner strength
And just pull that shit out of you and get that motivation to not give up
And not be a quitter, no matter how bad you want to just fall flat on your face and collapse
****
Music is like a tattoo,
and bands have to make music
where people are proud to wear your tattoo,
no matter what kind of music you like.
****
For some, music is not just a pastime,
It’s an undeniable fact of living,
A blissful slavery of mind, body and soul.
To rise above the ashes of mediocrity is rare,
Yet the gift of song is freely handed out to anyone who cares to receive it,
Instantly shattering our daily drudgery. The path to pursue more than the usual,
More than what is safe and known,
Is wrought with time-sharpened jagged blade s that cut deep,
Blocking many from the road to something greater,
Beyond the stunted imagination of their peers. Within the veins of the few,
Passion fills every sinew with a sweet unquenchable purpose,
Calming the fear of those treacherous paths,
Though every slice burns and bleeds,
Still they take each cut
And wear the scars with pride to signal their choice,
That undying pursuit of greater joy within every cord.
And so they say – Watch me bleed
****
When life knocks you down..calmly get back up, smile, and very politely, say, "You hit like a bitch."
****
I’ll never show you my cards, I won’t be playing a hand worth bluffing. But when you’re running with me, you won’t be wondering why you’ve fallen.
****

Blew my mind when I got the news about DAVID BOWIE. I was on a plane when news broke. Heartbreaking... One of the most creative, inventive artists of our generation. History will put him in the same class as Dali, Pollock, Hemingway, and of course The Beatles, The Stones and Jimi. His music will live on forever. The world is worse with his passing. -Joe Perry of Aerosmith

10 Things Girls Who Have Lost Their Dads Want You To Know

When I was 17 I lost my dad unexpectedly. It’s been seven years and the pain is still very real. Over the course of those years I have come to realize many things that I feel need to be shared with others. I know there are many other young women who are in my shoes. To our friends, these are the things we want you to know.
1. We’re sorry.
We are sorry for being quiet every time you talk about your dad to us. We don’t mean to sound uninterested or make you feel that your happiness is unimportant to us. It’s just that when you talk about moments with your dad, it takes us back to moments with ours. Moments we wish we could relive and share with you, too. We don’t get quiet on purpose; it kind of just happens. It’s our mind’s way of protecting us from bursting out in tears.
2. Ask about our dad.
We want to share him with the world and when you ask about him, it fills our heart with so much joy to know that someone is actually interested in knowing him like we did. You’ll just have to excuse us as we talk through the tears.
3. Please don’t try to understand our heartache.
We appreciate the effort, we really do. But the truth is, unless you’ve lost a parent, you truly can’t understand.
4. Listen.
That’s the best thing you can do for us. When we have a bad day and need to talk to someone, be that someone. You don’t even have to say much, just reassure us every once in a while that you are still hearing us.
5. Please, please, please don’t take your dad for granted.
We love you and we don’t want you to feel our pain someday. Please don’t just assume he will be there for you to call tomorrow. Call him today. Right now. Don’t wait until it’s too late and then spend their rest of your life hating yourself for it.
6. Make memories.
Don’t have time? Bullshit. Make time. You always have time for the ones you love. It’s there; it just has to be utilized.
7. ALWAYS tell him you love him.
I don’t care if you two just got in a screaming fight and you feel in that moment you hate him. You don’t. I promise in a few hours you’ll realize how ridiculous it was to even think of the H word. Before you walk out that door or hang up that phone, say it.
8. Forgive us. We are broken.
Sometimes that shows a little more than usual. When our dad’s left this earth, they took pieces of our heart and soul with them. On occasion those pieces feel as though they are slowly being glued back together. But then there are the times when they feel like they are being ripped apart in shreds. This may bring out a side of us we aren’t used to. If there are times when we may not seem like our normal selves, please understand we are grieving immensely. Losing someone of such importance changes a person. We are being molded into a new place in our lives. It’s a slow process and a fragile one. Please, forgive us.
9. We are here for you, too.
When that unfortunate day comes about when you lose one of your parents, we are here. Day or night. Rain or shine. Just call us and we’ll be there. We know all too well the pain you are enduring and we will do everything in our power to comfort you.
10. We are jealous of you.
I’m willing to admit it, and I’m sure others are, too. We are so jealous that you still have your dad in your life that we have to put the brakes on the eye rolls that are ferociously trying to take over. We don’t mean to feel this way. It seems so selfish, and in a way, it is. You have to understand, we are experiencing feelings we’ve never felt before and trying to find ways to cope.
Deep down, we are happy for you. It’s just every time we read a text or a Facebook post about how your dad made you laugh, or how he is going to walk you down the aisle at your wedding, it’s like another slap in our face. Now please understand, we don’t want you to stop sharing these beautiful moments just to appease us. In fact, we need the opposite. By you sharing moments with your dad, you are helping us come to terms with the loss of ours.
We will eventually get used to it and the feelings won’t be so evil. We will finally realize that just because we lost our dad and we are filled with sadness, doesn’t mean everyone else should be, too. The jealousy will always be there. But instead of the eye rolls, there will be a smile. A smile meant for you from our hearts. A smile that says we are thankful you aren’t experiencing our pain and you still get to make memories with the first man to have your heart.

A mother was walking down the hall when she heard a humming sound coming from her 's bedroom.
When she opened the door she found her naked on the bed with a vibrator.
What are you doing?" she exclaimed.
The replied, "I'm 35 and still living at home with my parents and this is the closest I'll ever get to a husband."
Later that week the father was in the kitchen and heard a humming sound coming from the basement.
When he went downstairs, he found his naked on the sofa with her vibrator.
"What are you doing?" he exclaimed.
The replied, "I'm 35 and still living at home with my parents and this is the closest I'll ever get to a husband."
A couple of days later the mother heard the humming sound again, this time in the living room.
In there, she found her husband watching the Super Bowl on television with the vibrator buzzing away beside him.
"What are you doing?" she exclaimed.
He replied............"Watching the game with my -in-law."

10 Things Commitment-Phobic Men Need To Know
|
Posted:Jan 10, 2016 8:48 am

There are too many guys out there who just don’t want a commitment, and as a woman who wants a relationship, I can’t help but think that their attitude towards serious love is stupid. As a veteran of dating guys who just hate commitment with a passion, I’ve always wanted to tell some of my exes certain things that they should have been smart enough to know. Here are 10 things commitment-phobic men should know about what they’re doing to themselves.
1. You’re losing out on good women who would value your need for freedom. The number one reason guys don’t want to commit is because they feel like they’re going to be constrained. Truthfully, there are many good women out there who will help you achieve your life goals if they’re in a relationship with you. Relationships aren’t about taking away freedom, they’re about enhancing your life by including people who make it easier to live life day-to-day.
2. There’s a timer on your sex appeal too, bucko. Another common train of thought by men who don’t want relationships is that they don’t want to be with the same woman for decades because of the fact that she’ll age and not look as good in 10 years. Well, here’s the funny thing they forget: men age, too. Getting into a good committed relationship early is just as much an emotional safeguard for men as it is for women.
3. Relationships are worth working for. Commitment-phobes don’t seem to understand that anything worth a damn is worth working for. Relationships involve hard work on both people’s ends if they are going to endure the test of time. All that work actually does pay off, since married men are typically happier and healthier than unmarried ones.
4. You can’t go through life alone. Everyone needs somebody, even if it’s for something as simple as a roof over your head or holding down the fort when you’re on unemployment. Going it alone is a good way to make life’s problems harder to solve.
5. By the time you realize what a fool you’re being, most women won’t want you. It’s true. Not many women want to be with a guy who’s been known to avoid commitments like the plague. The fact is that most guys who avoid commitments decide they want a relationship when sex is no longer easy to get.
6. If you want a family, you’ll need a relationship. I regularly hear guys talking about how they want , but don’t want to get married or have a relationship with a woman. They’ve gotta be kidding, right? Good luck giving birth, fellas!
7. You can’t protect assets you don’t even have! It never ceases to amaze me how many commitment-phobic guys turn down women because they’re worried about getting divorced and losing half of their stuff. The funny thing is that many women are out-earning men, or act as the sole working party of couples. In fact, many of my friends who hear this shit from guys grossly out-earn their love interests. This is a classic case of not seeing the forest for the trees. In an effort to protect a beat up Honda Civic, commitment-phobic men avoid the potential of getting a Mercedes S-Class Maybach.
8. You’re missing out on beautiful memories. If you stay alone for your entire life, you’re missing out on playing catch with your , a beautiful wedding ceremony, Christmas dinners with the family you helped raise, and hyper-romantic date nights. You’re missing out on waking up next to someone who will kiss you first thing in the morning. Is this really what you want to avoid?
9. When the girl you have a crush on ends up ditching your FWB situation for another man who is willing to commit, you have no one to blame but yourself. This is another thing that always amazes me. Commitment-averse men always end up furious when the girl they were casually screwing bolts for a guy who’s willing to commit. Commitment-phobes, don’t be angry at her. She’s just getting what she wants, from a guy who’s willing to give it to her. Not offering that level of commitment was your choice, and that means you have no one to blame but yourself.
10. You need to work out your issues, bro. If you don’t think you have issues, and you’re afraid of committing, you’re wrong. Having a deep fear of commitment is a signal that you have a very unhealthy attitude towards women, love, and interpersonal relationships as a whole. Do yourself a favor, and get some therapy.

Whether liberals want to admit it or not, there’s still a current war going on against our own service members here in America. The blatant disrespect some people have for those who serve our country is absolutely disgusting.
A military veteran who had served two tours in Afghanistan (and is still on active duty) went to a restaurant and happened to ask the cashier if they offered any discounts to military personnel.
We’ll let the soldier’s Facebook post tell the rest of this heartwarming story:

Bengals gave Steelers that game! 18-16

Steelers were winning most of the game, even into the 2 min warning we were winning. Bengals gets a touchdown to make it 16-15 less than 2 min. I thought we were done, especially once Bengals got an interception. But Ben, injured, came back out and got us all the way back down the field into field goal range where we got a field goal to win 18-16.
But of course if it weren't for #55 of the Bengals and his outrageous behavior and getting penalties, plus our Antonio Brown getting hit badly which was unfortunate (understatement), we may not have got into field goal range. We still might have but both those penalties clinched it.
It sucks it came at the hit of Antonio Brown but at least it wasn't for nothing. We won!
Especially sweet since the Bengals fans were so damn rude too. Throwing trash at Ben when he was carted off the field injured. Like really people? Grow up.
Thank you mr. Burfitt. Please place this picture in your scrapbook.
Sincerely
Steeler Nation
(found this on fb)
and this was an amazing touchdown we got in the 3rd quarter.

would you be happy?
(pic)
Hmm, I would say probably yes. While we are fwb and don't get to see each other often, we get along well usually and the sex is awesome. He makes me laugh a lot and is very sweet especially since he is literally a retired gangster. I'm not kidding. He's a big softy on the inside though. Such a paradox.
So I think I could definitely do worse and have.

Dating Struggles of Women Who Are Too Caring
|
Posted:Jan 1, 2016 10:34 am
Last Updated:Jan 16, 2016 2:24 pm

It’s not easy being a woman with the massively caring heart. She gives freely without expectations, but once in a while, it would be nice if the kindnesses she pays were reciprocated. Not only does she have a big heart, but she shares it willingly if she’s into you. She’s always ready for love. Eventually it’ll happen, but in the meantime dating can be a struggle for her.
She believes everyone is good until proven otherwise. She wants to believe everyone has good intentions and is honest about what they want from her. When she’s dating you, she assumes it’s because you genuinely like her and so she puts her best foot forward. Unfortunately she’s been proven wrong and even though it hurt her, she still believes there’s good in everyone.
She’s naturally nurturing, which can come across as mothering. She enjoys doing thoughtful things for the people she dates to make their lives easier, or just to put a smile on their face. It’s just who she is. Men will think she’s “too nice” or acts like his mother when she just actually wants to show you she cares.
She’s been taken for granted. She doesn’t play games, nor does she feel her love and care needs to be earned. She just gives it without hesitation and sadly, this makes her an easy target for jerks or commitment-phobes that are just looking for an ego boost or short-lived companionship.
She doesn’t know how to “be a challenge” because she doesn’t hide her interest. She doesn’t abstain from flirting or telling a guy she’s dating that she was thinking about him or that she can’t wait to see him again. Most men, even when they say they want this in a woman, get bored with it. She’s not going to be the girl who purposely waits four hours to reply to your text, or hold in her feelings because she doesn’t believe that breeds real love or honest relationships.
Her genuine affections are labelled clingy. For some reason, people often confuse genuinely caring with being a stage five clinger. There’s a clear difference. Just because the girl who’s too caring picks up an extra coffee for you before work or texts you routinely to say good morning when you’re dating her doesn’t mean she’s clingy. It means she likes you and she’s showing it with her actions.
She’s easily hurt. She’s been hurt and she’s felt intense pain from the heartbreaks that led her to you, so be gentle with her heart if you choose to date her. Oh, and let her go if you don’t plan on keeping her forever.
She’s overly appreciative. She believes in “thank you” and sweet manners. She believes in appreciating the little things, the simple words and the grand gestures. No sentiment goes unnoticed with her.
She’s afraid to confront bad behavior. If you do something that upsets her, she’ll hesitate to bring it up, because she’s worrying more about if it’s worth it to mention in fear of upsetting you in return. She might even gloss over it entirely when she shouldn’t. She never wants to hurt you even if it might mean being unfair to herself.
She knows nice girls finish last. She’s dated and tried time and time again, but the girl who’s too caring will continue caring no matter how many times she’s attempted to fall and not been caught. Even though dating can be a challenge for her due to her clear nice girl persona and the misconceptions of her affections, she’ll find real love in the end because not only does she deserve to feel the thoughtfulness she pays, she also deserves someone who is just as caring and appreciative to love her in return.

Another Epic New Year's

I had another epic new year's. I ended up falling asleep at like 9:50, woke up at 11:55, watched the ball drop, stayed up till 1:45 and went back to sleep. No kiss again. Why break tradition? I've never had a kiss and prob never will.
What pisses me off is for the first time I could've went out to see the guy in Cleveland for the weekend but my monthly enemy was due and yep came yesterday so we didn't make plans. Which in all the years I've had it I can't ever remember having it for New Year's and then the one year I could've had a kiss and plans, my body ruins it. *sigh* I'm about to just go become a nun cause how much more of a clearer sign do I need?
Oh and my zodiac sign said the perfect new year's kiss would be from a Capricorn and guess what sign the guy from Pitt last year that's really played with my heart was? Yep a Capricorn. WTF?
