(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUbMWtUyIIE) ...I share this song, maybe a mood too, with you guys.

I just felt like sharing a song that probably everyone and their mom has listened to (huzzah to the odd one or two who haven't, hope you enjoy it). It feels right to share it, and it's a good song, at least I like it and that's what counts for me. I hope you enjoy listening to it again, or for the first time.

Why?

Because I felt like it.

There was a time in TTLG where it was more common for such threads to pop-up without it not getting derailed, turned into an ego-ring, open-mic for the funny ones or turning into a bickerfest/flame war.

Next year, on july, God willing, I will have been at TTLG for a decade.

10 years.

And I will not make a big deal out of it in here, but inside me, I know that it will mean something beyond the trivial. Something good and worthwhile.

There have been many changes in this place, the people in it and myself. They have been noticed and felt. Both good and bad, like life itself.

I used to like to share out of the blue thoughts and ideas that I had, even the ocassional silly poetry (not for critical review, merely sharing, hoping someone liked it...I did) not the first dumb utterance my mind was bubbling along (though those too were valid from time to time on special ocassions). Nowadays, not so much. Not so much.

No, I don't believe, at all, that TTLG is going to the crapper as many say, but I do believe some things, some moods, certain type of threads that I used to enjoy a lot have been little to non-existing.

I don't hope in the least bit for this thread to create a ripple in the depths of these waters. I simply felt, for once, in the longest of whiles, the want to share something with TTLG with no other purpose than to share and read what others have to say about it.

That is all.

Cheers. :)

Good for you McDuck. I have always enjoyed Jefferson in all thier permutations. I knew Grace Slick and saw the first public performance of the Airplane at the Matrix in SF on Lombard more years ago than I should remember.

Your observations are right on and, although I've not been here as long, I agree with your sentiments.

And I do miss your occasional poetic flights.

Terminator 2:

not a real man!
you scream and lurch
a bad impression.
2000 pounds!
2000 pounds
of clumsy metal on a mound of hamstrung meat
we crushed within our hands:
the last childrens entertainer
the last breakfast dj
the last fat child

I miss all those brilliant, bullshit stories AR Master used to post a long time ago.

Of course, I wasn't even around here back then, so I'm not too sure how I'm missing them to begin with.

I'm still waiting on the pizza delivery video of the hot chick. :o

Ducky, yeah, I miss your artistic endeavors. You're a blooming rose on the barren plain of TTLG CommChat.
