  "A Girl Like You" by Edwyn Collins 

I've never known a girl like you before

Now, just like in a song from days of yore

Here you come a-knocking, knocking on my door

And I've never met a girl like you before

You give me just a taste so I want more

Now my hands are bleeding and my knees are raw

'Cause now you got me crawling, crawling on the floor

And I've never known a girl like you before

You made me acknowledge the devil in me

I hope to God I'm talking metaphorically

Hope that I'm talking alegorically

Know that I'm talking about the way I feel

And I've never known a girl like you before

Never, never, never, never

Never known a girl like you before

This old town's changed so much

Don't feel that I belong

Too many protest singers

Not enough protest songs

And now you've come along

Yes, you've come along

And I've never met a girl like you before

Grant me patience, Lord.

Right now, my mouse has the nasty habit of freezing up.  I hate when I have to fix up this issue.  It is a necessary evil, but it has to be done.  I realize that despite that, I have a few problems of my own.  I mean, a few other issues that I have to contend with.  Lord, I could use all of the help I can get. I ask that You would grant me the patience that I so very need..

Blondes with dark skin

It may be hypocritical of me to even have an opinion on this subject.  I am a black person who would love to have blonde hair, even for a little while.  There has always been a person of color who has often been accused of self-hatred because they dye their hair blonde.  As I wrote that last sentence, I notice the hypocrisy.  Should it matter if a woman of color with dark skin dye her hair blonde?  No, it shouldn't matter.  If blonde hair, like any other color looks good on her and if it doesn't "wash her out", then nobody should say anything.  Since when does blonde equal only one race or color?  There are Arabs and other Middle Easterners, South Asians, Melanesians, Australian Aborigines, East Asians and those from Africa who are blondes.  I use this to add to what I believe is true.  These women are not white and I feel that because they are black women who dye their hair blonde does not give anyone the right to pass judgment or criticize.  No blonde of color should have to justify dying their hair blonde.  Blonde is a hair color, though largely inherited, but it is only a color at the end of the day.

Last night's WWE Raw after Wrestlemania

Those are only parts of what has happened last night on RAW.  Because of this, I look forward to Smackdown.  Unlike RAW, Smackdown only lasts two hours instead of three.  Hopefully the crowd would be as raucous (for a lack of a better term) as they were last night.  The crowd was live last night.  Either one loved the crowd or hated the crowd.  One thing is for sure: nearly all of them hated Roman Reigns.

Pics from Wrestlemania 33

All I all, I wish I could say that it was a top notch show from top to bottom, but it had its moments. The best part were some of the matches and highlights.  It is too bad that the IC Title match was on the preshow.  It would be nice if it were on the actual show.  Oh, well, I will have to settle with Dean Ambrose and Baron Corbin sometime near Wrestlemania.  I cannot, however imagine the indignity of being called a curtain jerker at such an important event, for an important title nevertheless.  I realize that everyone can't fit on a specific card and that everyone on the roster cannot be on even the preshow, but Wrestlemania had way too many matches and thus the worst part, it was just too long.  I give the talent an A for effort, but the timing of the event is what hurt the entire show.  It was over five hours long.  Wow.  I hope to never stay for five hours at an event where anything even bad can happen, but that hope was dashed.  I did so.  So, I would rank the ppv in general 6.5 out of 10.  The length of the ppv took much of my enjoyment and a couple of the matches seemed underwhelming. I expected better and I have seen better from some of the performers on television.

My overall view on music

I just have a deep love of music.  Who doesn't, but somehow music connects me to my problems and my emotions like nothing have.  I am trying to express why music is something I get lost in.  I sometimes listen to music when the mood hits me.  However, music makes me normal.  Being bipolar, there is always this line between what is normal and what is not.  It bridges things like emotions, thoughts, and what is going on in the world.  I am so glad that there is such thing as music.
