The Song Stuck In My Head: “CRYING” by ROY ORBISON (with k.d. lang (1987))
“…I Thought That I…
…Was Over You…
…But, It‘s True…
…So True…
…I Love You Even More…
…Than I Did Before…
…But, Darlin‘, What Can I Do…
…For You Don‘t Love Me…
…And, I‘ll Always Be…
…CRYING…
…Over You…
…CRYING…
…Over You…
…Yes…
…Now You‘re Gone…
…And From This Moment On…
…I‘ll Be CRYING…
…CRYING…
…CRYING…
…CRYING…
…CRYING…
…CRYING…
…Over You.”

I Know What You’re Wondering, My Peeps, I Really Do.
Is Young Bradley Sad This Morning?
Bradley Only Busts-Out The ROY ORBISON When He’s In A Downer Mood.
And, In Thinking That, You’d Be (almost) Very VERY Correct.
I Am Sad, This Morning.
It Happens.
To All Of Us, It Happens.
After Having A Conversation Last Night With Someone, My Mood Has Been Sinking Further And Further.
Again, It Happens.
Every Single Day Can’t Be Bubblegum And Candy, Ya Know?!
And, While I Do Tend To Listen To ROY ORBISON When I’m Down…
…I Also Listen To Him When I’m Supremely Happy.
There’s No Rhyme, Nor Reason.
It Just Happens.
But, Today, I’m So Very VERY Sad.
Being Taken To Task About One’s Life (or lack thereof) Is Never A Conversation One Enjoys.
In That, I’m Very Human.
I Didn’t Like It One Bit.
And, I’d Be Lying If I Said It Didn’t Effect Me On All Levels…
…Mental…
…Emotional…
…Physical…
…You Name It.
Did I Cry?
Even A Little?
You Betcha.
Did I Feel Better Afterward?
No.
Not In The Slightest.
In Fact, I Felt Weak.
I Felt Disgusted With Myself, Honestly.
Why I Let Anyone/Anything Effect Me Like That Is Beyond Me.
But, It Happens.
To The Very Best (and very worst) Of Us, It Happens.
So, This Morning, I Felt It Was Time To Work A Bit.
I Had To Get This Out Of My Head, Even In Some Small Way.
“CRYING“
byROY ORBISON
((with k. d. lang))
…Is My All-Time Favorite Duet In Music History.
Period.
In My Book, It Doesn’t Get Any Better.
I Sincerely Hope Y’all Enjoy It.
… … …
…
QUESTION:
When YOU Are Sad, What Songs Do YOU Listen To, My Peeps???
Anything Specific, Or Special???
Let Me Know.
I’d Love To Know.
May I Know?

What The Hell Is Going On Around Here?!?
Honestly, My Peeps, So So Very Much Has Been Going On.
Life Has Been Quirky…
…Odd…
…Frustrating…
…Wonderful…
…Horrible…
…Exciting…
…Trying…
…Oh, So Very Very Trying.
BUT…
…I’ve Been Weathering It All Quite Well, I Would Say.
I Know It Has Been A While Since We’ve All Shot-The-Shit…
…Kicked-It-Back…
…Talked-Some-Shop…
…BUT…
…I Sincerely Promise There Have Been Plenty Of Quality Reasons.
You See, My Peeps, I’ve Been Trying Very Very Hard To Have A Life.
It’s Not Something I’m Really Accustomed To.
Like, At All.
But, I Have Been Trying.
I Got Myself A Man.
I Got Myself A Job. 
I Got Myself Fired From Said Job Before It Really Got Going. 
I’ve Been Playing The Helpful/Dutiful Son.
I’ve Been Playing The Helpful/Dutiful Grandson.
I’ve Been Playing The Helpful/Dutiful Boyfriend.
I’ve Been Playing For The Sake Of Playing.
I’ve Been Having FUN For A Freakin’ Change, And Trying To Enjoy Every Moment Of It.
Sadly, It Hasn’t All Been Fun And Games.
I’ve Had Multiple Family Members Die Over The Past Few Months.
:*( :*(
I’ve Suffered Through A Couple Bouts Of Fairly Extreme Illness.
Life Has Really Been Bringing The Heat, But Totally Keeping Me Honest With A Steady Supply Of Curve-Balls.
Sheesh, I Tell You.
Sheesh, Indeed.
:\
I’m Writing This Today Because I’m Looking To Begin Again.
I Miss Working On This Blog A Bundle, Though I Admit I Could Have Come Back To Y’all A Lot Sooner.
But, I Chose To Continue Being A “Reblog-Whore” And Just Let Things Ride.
I Still Plan To Be A “Reblog-Whore”, But I’ll Be Injecting Myself Into Things Whenever I Can.
TODAY…
…APRIL 10TH…
…Is My Birthday.
Everyone Always Asks The Same Question:
"DO YOU FEEL ANY OLDER?"
Honestly, My Peeps, Yes Yes YES I DO.
Period.
I Know I’m Not THAT Old, But I’m Old Enough.
Old Enough To Realize I Have To Continue Trying To Have A Life.
Old Enough To Understand How Important It Is To Continue Onward.
Old Enough To Feel Old Enough.
I’m Tired, My Peeps.
I’m So Very Tired.
But, There Are Still Duties To Perform…
…And Life Goes On.
I’m Going To Leave Y’all For Now.
But, I Do Promise To Be Back Again.
I’ve Been Writing A Lot.
Pen-To-Paper, Ya Know?
Perhaps I’ll Be Sharing More Of That With Y’all.
I Plan To.
So Let Us All See If I Actually Make That Happen.
I Really Do Plan To.
As I Exit (for now) I’m Going To Leave You With A Song.
A Song That Has Quickly Become A Personal Favorite.
DEPECHE MODE Has Just Released Their Latest Album, “DELTA MACHINE“, And I’m Totally In LOVE/LUST With It.
The Song For Today Is…
“SOOTHE MY SOUL“
…And It’s A Real Kicker!
I Sincerely Hope Y’all Enjoy It.
I Find It Simply Exceptional!!!
Please Take Care, My Peeps.
I’ll Write More When I’m Able.
Until Then…
…Take Care…
…Be Good…
…See Me Soon…
…And Talk To Me Sooner!!!
Much Love To Y’all, Fo SHO Fo SHO!!!
