Your taste in music is shaped by the crowd

complex rhythm

I like music that sounds like a car factory with a lumbermill right next door.

My secret admirers/stalkers on the dark side are just as thrilled to read my every waking thought as they were in the beginning. In fact, I believe their passion continues to grow and knows no bounds.

They are fascinated with my flying - as you know. And HLL (the Southern Belle in pearls - living in Motown and sticking out like sore thumb) still believes that her trainer is more complex to fly than my stunt plane.

Annie has never flown a plane - but her husband does - which is almost as good - right? HA HA HA!!! Living through the achievements of someone else makes you crazy after a while. She is clearly evidence of that!

She also talks of her deep Catholic beliefs - but she's been married three or more times. Not sure which branch of her church allows for multiple divorces - but she still believes she is pure.

Also not sure how many church goers stalk, attack and attempt to humiliate strangers - but they all claim to be good Christians and Conservatives.

Barf.

Let them rot - the sick freaks. If we can be criticized for spending too much time chatting with each other - then it should be mentioned that at least we live it first hand... they are just Peeping Toms, hangers on, losers watching from the sidelines.

They should be pitied for their pathetic level of attachment to our lives. And we should just walk away laughing.

I like music that ranges from ACDC to ABBA and I think that the common denominator for me is the actual music.

I like a powerful instrumental track.

That is why I detest rap which to me is not music and probably why I don`t care much for country.That would explain why I like "Rodeo" by Garth Brooks but dislike most of the mellow stuff.

Yep. Youngsters who have not yet developed likes and dislikes of their own.

[R. Scott]

Mine isn't, either. In fact, if a song becomes too popular and overplayed, I am apt to dislike it more.

That happened to me with “Brand New Key” and “Jagged Little Pill” among others.

DD..Don't I know it....It is so much jealousy I don't even know where to begin. The fact that you are a PILOT is quite an accomplishment. I can appreciate that and admire what you have done..If they were so hell bent on wanting to be someone they would not be on the computer day and night like busy body Gladys Kravitz's looking into someone else's window.

At first it was funny but now it's pretty pathetic. Annyok and HLL suprise me that they have fallen into that trap over there, I remember them from here and for the most part never had any issues posting on the same threads as them...The other ones are so up the avatar's a** so they won't be found out....

Not all of them but the ones that are green with envy are.
I did try breaking the ice with them that it was all in good fun and they can't break out from I want to be a Scorned Bee**tch because I am not here...

Too bad they would not know the difference between a roton egg or spoiled milk.

won over with exceptional lyrics

a quick glance at "my music" shows everything from aretha franklin to zydeco. Current song I'm freeping to: "I won't dance" (the sinatra version) with the lyric,"Heaven rest us. I am not asbestos..."

[Dashing Dasher]

The stalkers at their new book club.

Here's a better title: "Your Taste in Music Shaped by Effective Marketing"

But that really only applies to sheeple. Sheeple being who they are, it's a good business to be in.

[laney]

HAHAHA..That is to cool DD!
The ones at a dance that are huddled in a corner in wally world Moo Moo's gossipping while freeperettes are having Fun!!

[tcrlaf]

Nope......
Either NOT TRUE, or I run counter to the crowd....

I've been a Straight Male willing to publicly admit that I'm a huge Manilow fan since my teen years........

Now if THAT doesn't run counter to the crowd......

New Avatars! OR A CAN OF THIS DD Why don't you mind your own business," don't say it, give them their own. Yes, now, for all those nosey people, You can give them "A Little Can of Business". So they can have some business of their own and stay out of yours. Get one for the neighbor who watches people come in and out of your house. Get one for that friend who wants to know what he "said last night". Get one for that in-law who looks in your medicine cabinet when they visit. Get one for Mom or Dad who wants to know "where were you last night". Get one for the person you caught looking on your desk. Get one for the person who said you did it. Get one for the person who said they saw you do it. Get 2 for the person who didn't know you did it, but tells everyone else they heard you did it. A Little Can of Business, for those nosey people who can't seem to mind their own business.

I meant this for you the last post....

[Michael Goldsberry]

Y'all don't worry about it, life goes on.

Better yet, just walk away and enjoy the good friendships you have here. Indeed, I walked away from HL and they are all still my friends. Easy.

Don't get bogged down in hatred, your's or anyone else's.

Oh, and if it ever gets physical, shoot 'em exactly between the eyes.

[laney]

LOL..I would like to spray them if that did not work the last one sounds pretty tempting! HAHA

[Dashing Dasher]

Oooohhh.... I'd love to shoot them.....


LOL!!!!

[Michael Goldsberry]

Physical danger... remember. Only then can you open fire.

Words aren't nearly enough justification.

[laney]

Actually- Iwould like to send a couple chickies husbands this Newspaper Ad I think it fits some of them very well.

FOR SALE BY OWNER: Complete set of Encyclopedia Britannica. 45 volumes. Excellent condition. $1,000 or best offer. No longer needed, got married last month. Wife knows everything.

What is funny Michael is that most of them would not dare say what they say about us face to face the men wouldn't that is for sure because they know they would be picking thier jaws off the floor....running away like a scared jack rabbit.

[birbear]

What they should be saying is not every novelty act like Brittney Spears, Jessica Simpson, Justine Timberlake will appeal to all 13 yr olds, some 13 yr olds will not like them.

I'm no fan of their music, but Brittney and Jessica are hardly "novelty acts". Justine, maybe, but the two girls have quite a large following in the pop music world right now. Brittney may just very well become this generations Madonna. (Not that that's an exciting thing to me, but it means something to a lot of people.)
