      Roy Orbison singing for the lonely

      Hey, that's me and I want you only

      Don't turn me home again, I just can't face myself alone again

      Don't run back inside, darling, you know just what I'm here for

      So you're scared and you're thinking that maybe we ain't that young anymore

      Show a little faith, there's magic in the night

      You ain't a beauty but, hey, you're alright

      Oh, and that's alright with me

      It's nothing but reality shows on cable TV. My mom who's a psych major watches them to see how certain people tick...

      From Wikipedia:

       

      "[bravo] originally focused on programming related to fine arts and film; it currently broadcasts several reality television series targeted at 25-54-year-old women ..."

       

      That's pretty sad right there.

      @Goldleader: because it's all 'reality' shows populated by truly hateable people. My GF keeps it on all night, every night. Can't deal with it.

  5. Double chins and bowling pins, unholy presbyterians.

  6. 55 hour work week for the forseeable future. Ugh. At least the overtime checks are gonna be sweet!

      We eat McDonald's just often enough to remind ourselves not to eat McDonald's. The food itself is bad enough, just wish the workers would get it right. They aren't worth minimum wage, let alone $15 an hour.

      I know how you feel at times. Like Flojomojo said, music and such from my youth is really accessible, but I miss the people places and things of my youth.

      Lots of things I loved are totally gone. Even half of the downtown has since either burnt down or been condemned and demolished. (Note, half the downtown was already gone when I was a kid!)

      Never got to see the Ohio Sea World again or got to go to Geauga Lake like I had hoped to do.

      The passage of time is a weird thing. And it is strange to hear 80's alternative music used as background music in Supermarkets and Starbucks. lol. Older, but still feel pretty good and yup... my younger self would have been blown AWAY to have every Atari & ColecoVision game emulated wirelessly through an old Wii or retropie. Still love looking at tech. Didn't know it then, but we grew up in a golden age. Plus, with youtube almost everything from back in the day is online: commerc...
