Time-a blast from the past
Thursday, May 25, 2006
[UPDATED BLAG]I went to see my dad today, and he's out of immediate danger. Thanks to those readers who prayed for him.
I used to LOVE Marti Pellow, with or without wet, wet, wet. His voice had something about it, and he sang of things that lay within the deepest recesses of my heart. /download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" height="300" wiAnd when I saw him on TV for the first time the picture was complete. His cheeky smile, and a dark brooding. I was somewhat gutted when reading several years ago he had had to over come drink and drugs problems, as that kind of thing kind of knocks an icon down, into something less than you had always thought.
But, I saw him on the TV this morn, as I was waking up, and I have no idea how many years its been since I last saw him, but he looked OLD, middle aged, and way past his sell by date. And he's probably younger than I am. Time is funny, and as I mentioned a few weeks ago, me not seeming to age has suddenly got to the point of just feeling weird, when everyone who is in your peer group age wise, you see them after a long break and think they look "old" and you are still being mistaken for someone in the first flushes of adult life. Its beyond being cool, now, its just plain weird. But, I still wouldn't choose for it to be the reverse and look "old before my time".
But Marti Pellow, I guess he still had the charm, but, in a middle aged, rugged kind of way. This was one song of his I liked, and the movie Four weddings and a funeral, it was him singing "Love is all around us" that made the movie for me. But time is a funny thing. Theres no stopping it, it marches on regardless. And we often don't notice, or miss the important moments in time, and before one knows it, the years have flown.
My blog is likely to poof into mid cyber air at some point today. As my yankee doodle transition into cyber land is completed. But I've asked them to actually do the settings that need to be done for it to be changed from its current bit of cyberspace to the new bit. And I am going to see my dad, and its likely to happen when I'm out. I just have to republish it to the new bit of cyberspace when I can get to it. Of course, if you're trying to read this, at a time it has poofed, then I may as well have just shut up and not said anything, cos all you'll see is blankety blank. And while on the subject of blogging, the one thing I like about sitemeter, (my stat counter) it tells you what searches have bought folks to your site. Some of them are strange, funny, or just plain weird. But, they amuse me nonetheless. Here's a few from the last 24 hours or so:
superstistion of right hand itching
"where" "let your wind" "go free"
when i am filled i point the way, when i am empty nothing moves me.

Time was never on our side
beauty reaches for the light
from the shadow of your smile
into my heart
There’s a flower in my field you know
holding love up like a shield
now I know we have it sealed
here in my heart
Every night I turn the lights down slowly
and watch you in your afterglow
I wanna get close to you
tell me you want me to
what can I do?
I need you now
and I want you now
in my life
Where the stream begins to flow
a life of love that springs we know
from every word
into my soul
Treasure buried deep inside
turns the hands of love way back in time
leaving all the past behind
can we let it go?
Every night I turn the lights down slowly
and watch you in your afterglow
I wanna get close to you
tell me you want me to
what can I do?
I need you now
and I want you now
in my life
We've been holding on
but things have changed
the fear is gone
we've turned the page
in the book of love
And to know this love
is to feel it all
from high above
to feel the glow
of your love
my love
I wanna get close to you
tell me you want me to
what can I do?
I need you now
and I want you now
in my life
I wanna get close to you
tell me you want me too
I wanna get close to you
I wanna get close to you
