Subject: Thank God for Buddy Holly

This is about everything rock and roll from the 50's to the present, but that's only the beginning. Any poets out there? I have a couple of poems to share before too long. Misunderstood song lyrics are always a lot of fun. Favorite album cover art? Any wild or interesting concert experiences? Prefer Motown to rock? Jazz? Blues? You can share all of these things and much more here. Come one come all to the midnight ball! Let's do this!

And now I will say what everyone who reads this wants to say. PLEASE Kev and Elle, forgive and forget. I feel that those simple words Didn't seem that badsay it all - forgive and forget. No blame on either side.

Elle, go to get your head injury checked out right now! Remember Liam Neeson's wife who had a simple accident in a bunny hill, skiing? It didn't seem that bad, but she died. Never ignore a bump on the head.

I, and all your friends here, love you Elle and Kev, Please kiss and make up. You too, Jo...

What is the worst thing any of your students ever did, Stephanie?

Plenty of bad things, Kev, maybe the worst was saying, "I'm going to blow up your car", and I thought it was possible, but it was only words. The worst thing I did, I regret to say, was when a high chool oy had a crush on me, and he kept coming up behind me and putting his arms around me. I warned him many times not to do that, but that didn't work. One time the room was dark for a film, and he crawled on the floor and got under my desk. I didn't take that well at all! Finally, one day, after lunch, he came up to me and put arms around me, I whirled, grabbed his shirt and threw him out in the hall. His shirt tore. I hope by telling you this, my guilt I feel over this will go away. I regret it very much, because I was young and afraid of being fired, but now I realize he probably didn't have love at home, so was searching for it. I still feel bad, and wish I could tell him that I am sorry.

Kev, I have started reading your blog, from page 1, it seems to start in the middle of a conversation, and why, at the bottom of the page does it show two page ones? Was something erased? Anyway I have some comments,
I loved toi poem about Metal, as well as the evolution, which I told you before, Also Jazmee's poem about animals, as an animal lover.

And Elle, here I am, a girl who has always loved Rush! I would call them one of my favorites!

Kev, until this very day, I thought it was "Purty Little Love Song"! I'll probably always hear it that way. I'll keep reading to see if you get to my favorite misunderstood lyric. I won't tell you now, but I used to hear students singing it the wrong way, which included a word you wouldn't expect to hear.

You are really something, Stephanie. I think most people would have applauded you for what you did to that kid, except for maybe his negligent parents who evidently weren't very good parents. You must really have a tremendous amount of patience. No excuse for behavior like that in my book. I was one of the biggest clowns my schools had ever seen but I had far more respect for my teachers and everyone else than that. Never put my hands on another human being in an unwelcome way in my entire life. All of my teachers always liked me. So has pretty much everyone who ever met me, come to think about it.

The worst thing I ever did in school was probably when I "streaked" in front of half my high school, if you could even call it that. I wasn't even naked, I was wearing a jock strap. Something told me that I had better not do it completely naked and I guess it was a good thing I didn't. When I was in the principal's office, a police detective told me I could have actually been looking at criminal charges being pressed against me if I had been totally naked. I still got expelled for a few days! :-p

You Naughty boy! The only time I saw a streaker was at a college basketball game. I have no idea what, if anything, happened to him.

Gahek! Omg, Stephanie, I can't believe you thought that's what they were saying as well! I guess it must really sound that way!

Yeah, I can't remember what was said at the very beginning of this blog, but you are right, it was right in the middle of a conversation between me and my team Captain, and two or three posts got deleted for some reason that I can't remember now. I mean, no one was arguing or anything like that at all, but I just can't remember why they were deleted. I guess I have never noticed the thing about there being two page 1s. I'll have to go back and look at that.

Yeah, it was in '78 or '79 when I did my little "streaking" episode, and you know how popular streaking was right about then. Tee hee! Silly, naughty me! :-p

Well, the bottom of the first page on my screen reads 1 2 3 4 5 54, so I don't know what the deal is there.

Went back and looked at that first post and now I remember. My team captain, who has always been more than happy to help me out with things and is one of the nicest people I've ever known, decided that she would ask whoever it may have been to delete her posts from my blog because they didn't have anything to do with my blog. I didn't mind them being there, we weren't telling any deep, dark secrets, I suppose she was only doing what she felt was the right thing to do.

I am hoping that both Jo and Elle come back, Kev, you are the greatest, but we need them back as well. I will keep reading all the pages, and pipe up when I find something, like when Elle said in a quote, "You make me happy when skies are grey'

A quote from an old Jimmie Davis song (ex Governor of La)
You are my sunshine
My only sunshine
You make me happy
When skies are grey
You'll never know dear
How much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away.

A simple but unforgettable song, sad to say, many have taken my sunshine away, but hope springs eternal...

I thought it might have been Jo's Viking version.

No, but the Viking would love to blow something up.

Ha! That explosively violent demolition man expert biker outlaw rock and roll maniac! :-p

Nice to see you, Jo. Had an interesting day on the Duel battlefield yesterday. Played at a time that I am honestly not sure if I have ever played before. Started at right around 6:30 a.m. after I have almost always played beginning from midnight to 1 a.m. I also just happened to bag nine wins, which was the first time in probably 4 or 5 months that I have gotten over 8. It's probably just coincidence, but I will definitely be visiting the smoky battlefields again soon at roughly the same time.

I wish it could be today but i have certain things I need to get done today and it won't be until sometime this afternoon before I play. So what have you been up to lately?

I couldn't resist your charms for long, Kev :-)

I've been busy partnering one of my very lovely beagles up with someone else's dog, so now I'll be counting the days - approximately 63 of them, Trivia fans - until I know if she's going to have a bunch of little beagles. I'll be able to tell a little earlier than that, of course, but I don't do scans so details (like how many) will be a surprise.

Don McLean is on my TV live at this very moment being interviewed, he has his guitar on his lap so fingers crossed he's going to burst into song any minute. American Pie, American Pie, American Pie!!!

Oh, here he goes - 'Total Eclipse of the Sun'. Go, Don-boy!

Don McLean, ladies and gentlemen, on a big red sofa on British breakfast TV, is strumming his accoustic guitar and singing....

'A long, long, time ago, I can still remember,
How that music used to make me smile.
And I knew if I had my chance,
That I could make those people dance,
And maybe they'd be happy for a while.

But February made me shiver,
With every paper I'd deliver,
Bad news on the doorstep,
I couldn't take one more step.

I can't remember if I cried,
When I read about his widowed bride,
But something touched me, deep inside,
The day...the music...died....

So bye, bye, Miss American Pie,
Drove my Chevy to the levee, but the levee was dry,
Them good old boys was drinking whiskey and rye,
Singing this'll be the day that I did,
This'll be the day that I die......'

Jack be nimble
Jack be quick
Jack jumped over the candlestick

Jack wasn't nimble
Jack wasn't quick
Jack came down with a French-fried d**k! :-(

"Here lies the body of Mary Lee,
Died at the age of a hundred and three.
For fifteen years she kept her virginity
Not a bad record, for this vicinity."

From Jaws, one of my all time favourite movies :-)
Scarred me for life, I'm phobic of sharks, but I still love it!
