What does integrity mean to me? Simple, it is the core of who I am. I believe in integrity, and as we’ll see, it really is a core value.
In case you didn’t know, Anesthesia from Type O Negative is my favorite song. That includes EVERY Dream Theater song, EVER. It holds very strong meanings to me and in my life.
At first it was faint, like background noise. Then it grew louder, climbing slowly toward the front of my mind while I tried to maintain some semblance of composure with Betty standing there. It was the Infinite Sadness.
Please, think of this as talking to someone, with history, kinda. The lyrics just about sum up the things that separate people and, in general, people. It’s The Walls!
Sapphire, oh how I missed my chance with you. If you exist, where are you? Why can’t we find each other? What part of my soul do I need to give up for you?
Sapphire, you are my arc. You are my life story arc. You are everything and nothing at the same time, you both exist to me and yet not to others. Why can’t you manifest?
Vera Blue. Sigh. This song, album, band… well, we all go back a shade. This wasn’t the first track off Eastside Militia I’d heard, it was, however, the most impactful.
There was no toasting on this night. There was joyousness in celebrating, albeit alone once again, on this night. He was my guy, that guy. That one, the one, my only one. The benchmark. The bar. The best. Sho.
I don’t even want to post this, I am still so heartbroken over losing Shiro. Incredibly, massively.. just heartbroken.
Oh, Sho Rai, it’s 4 January, and you know what that means. Yes, it’s that “end” to the most painful time of the year. The one that’s a beating by whomever, if not for the sake of remembering that The World Kicks Me In The Junk.
