I am glad you had a safe trip. COngratulations on a new beginning!

iqon on Mar 18, 2008

ARRRRR sorry me lass but me and me monkey be missin' your launch for the Left Coast. For road trips me be advising 'gainst the alcohol 'nd highly recommendin' Mount'n Dew with lots of fresh lime juice - caffeinated vitamin C!

Back when me be a monkeyless sea pup, me be singin' this tune steerin' trucks down long lonely stretches of Interstate 10. It be a good late night drivin' song:

  Well the midnight headlight
  find you on a rainy night
  steep grade up ahead
  slow me down makin no time
  gotta keep rollin
  those windshield wipers slappin out a tempo
  keepin perfect rhythm with the song on the radio
  gotta keep rolling
  
  Ooh I'm driving my life away, looking for a better way, for me
  ooh I'm driving my life away, looking for a sunny day

me2orion on Mar 18, 2008

@iqon maybe the better way, i've found. i feel at home for the first time…ever, maybe. home is where the heart is, or so i've been told. and my heart longed for here and here it is…smiling and being happy…just living.

iqon on Mar 21, 2008

Best advice me can give is:
  "Be true to your heart"

which makes me think of a mother's advice to her child:
   Boy, don't you worry... you'll find yourself.
   Follow you heart and nothing else.
   And you can do this if you try.
   All I want for you my son,
   Is to be satisfied.

iqon on Mar 21, 2008

BY THE WAY me monkey points out:
some of you young whippersnappers know "Simple Man" as a Shinedown song, what you may not know is Ronnie Van Zant of Lynyrd Skynyrd wrote the lyrics; both bands be hailin' from Jacksonville, Florida USA; and Jasin Todd of Shinedown is married to Van Zant's daughter.
