Listen to Kevin Reevees' "Afraid and Alone" on MySpace

I love this song!

Listen to "Afraid and Alone" by Kevin Reevees on his MySpace page:

http://www.myspace.com/kevinreevesmusic.

I heard it on Controversial Conversations #005 podcast, and loved it immediately.

Here is his website where you can get mp3's of his songs. http://www.kevinreeves.net/ He emails them out after you order them.

He wrote me the following:

I play every Friday and Saturday night at the Flying Horse in Franklin, Tennessee from 6-30 to 8-30 P.M., and will begin playing on Wednesday nights at Big Tony's in the food Lion plaza in Nashville from 7 to 9 P.M.

I hope to make it to one of his shows soon, but my work schedule gets in the way.

Does anyone know who these girls are?

There was so much controversy about these two girls. I sure could tell they were in love with each other, but so many could not agree about there gender. I was told by someone who had dinner with them that the one on the left is TS and the other is GG, but not many agreeded.

I took their picture and gave them my card with my email address, so I could send them the picture, but still no reply.

Write me you two. I think you were so great now matter what gender you are. I say you both are women!

I met finely Renee Reyes

I wrote her earlier this year to introduce myself:

I saw you at last year's SCC and all I could do is stare. You looked so great. It is not that often that I see some one that I have seen and read their website. I think you realized that I was too shy to introduce myself. You squeezed my hand one time, as I walked by at one of the dinners. I have to thank you for that. Probably it was at the dinner where I took the one picture, I got of you. I am too shy to impose myself on folks and ask to take their picture. Then later I always regret not taking the picture. I hope to do better this year.

She wrote back and remembered me when I saw her at SCC and insisted we take this picture. Thanks Renee (and sorry about the red eye!)

"Dear Mr. President" (Pink featuring Indigo Girls)

I heard this song on the Tranny Wreck pod cast, and bought it on iTunes right away. It is powerful.

"Dear Mr. President"
(Pink featuring Indigo Girls)

Dear Mr. President
Come take a walk with me
Let's pretend we're just two people and
You're not better than me
I'd like to ask you some questions if we can speak honestly

What do you feel when you see all the homeless on the street
Who do you pray for at night before you go to sleep
What do you feel when you look in the mirror
Are you proud

How do you sleep while the rest of us cry
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye
How do you walk with your head held high
Can you even look me in the eye
And tell me why

Dear Mr. President
Were you a lonely boy
Are you a lonely boy
Are you a lonely boy
How can you say
No child is left behind
We're not dumb and we're not blind
They're all sitting in your cells
While you pay the road to hell

What kind of father would take his own daughter's rights away
And what kind of father might hate his own daughter if she were gay
I can only imagine what the first lady has to say
You've come a long way from whiskey and cocaine

How do you sleep while the rest of us cry
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye
How do you walk with your head held high
Can you even look me in the eye

Let me tell you bout hard work
Minimum wage with a baby on the way
Let me tell you bout hard work
Rebuilding your house after the bombs took them away
Let me tell you bout hard work
Building a bed out of a cardboard box
Let me tell you bout hard work
Hard work
Hard work
You don't know nothing bout hard work
Hard work
Hard work
Oh

How do you sleep at night
How do you walk with your head held high
Dear Mr. President
You'd never take a walk with me
Would you

HOW TO STOP PEOPLE FROM BUGGING YOU ABOUT GETTING MARRIED
Old aunts used to come up to me at weddings, poking me in the ribs and cackling, telling me, "You're next." They stopped after I started doing the same thing to them at funerals.

SEND THIS TO A SMART WOMAN WHO NEEDS A LAUGH AND TO THE SMART GUYS YOU KNOW CAN HANDLE IT

I don't do chain letter like things, but this one is good, so I put it here.

I finely finished She's Not There.

I finely finished Jennifer Boylan's book, She's Not There, and I cried for Melanie. Melanie was the one who shared a room in the hospital with Jenny when they each got there SRS. Everything went wrong for her, and the reader did not get to find out what ultimately happend to her. As I finished the book, I forgot about Jenny and all I could think about was the horrible support she got in her live and how bad things were working out for her during the week she got her SRS.

I wrote in an email to a friend "We don't have to worry about "Golden girl Jenny" she will do just fine, but I worry about poor Melanie. "

Then I Googled for information on Melanie and Jennifer. I found a neat interview with Jenny where she said:

JB: But yeah, it’s worth saying as long as we are updating the record here that Melanie has landed on her feet. Her family has become much more accepting and she is engaged to be married in December and I am to be one of her bridesmaids. I think she is going to be fine.

RB: Are you looking forward to the wedding?

JB: Are you kidding? It’s going to be great.

RB: Do you like weddings?

JB: I have been a best man, now I’m going to be a bridesmaid. And I hope to write a piece about it for my next book. link

I was so glad to read that the Melanie story had a happy side. I still want to know more, but I feel a lot better.

The Push (far from here) by Steve Smith & Paul Jackson

I love this song. It just kills me though, I cry at this part!

Tell myself if I don’t change my ways
Never know the difference that it makes
If I don’t push myself to face my fears
I’ll never see a world that’s far from here

Don’t know where im going,
in a world that waits for me, yeah me…
Don’t know where im going,
to a world that waits for me…”

"In 2004 Jackson is set to release 'The Push (Far From Here)' vocal version, with Dirty Vegas' Steve Smith on vocals" link

Dude (Looks like a Lady)

Cruised into a bar on the shore
Her picture graced to grime on the door
She a long lost love at first bite
Baby maybe you're wrong, but you know it's all right
That's right

Backstage we're having the time
Of our lives until somebody say
Forgive me if I seem out of line
Then she whipped out her gun
Tried to blow me away

Dude look like a lady
Dude look like a lady
Dude look like a lady
Dude look like a lady

So never judge a book by it's cover
Or who you're going to love by your lover
Love put me wise to her love in disguise
She had the body of a venus
Lord imagine my surprise

Dude look like a lady
Dude look like a lady
Dude look like a lady
Dude look like a lady

What a funky lady
She like it like it like it like that
He was a lady

Baby let me follow you down
Let me take a peek dear
Baby let me follow you down
Do me, do me, do me all night
Baby let me follow you down
Turn the other cheek dear
Baby let me follow you down
Do me, do me, do me, sue me"

KELLY CLARKSON LYRICS - Because Of You

This song stopped me in my tracks and that was before I knew what the words were. Now it just makes me cry.

'Because Of You'

KELLY CLARKSON

I will not make the same mistakes that you did
I will not let myself
Cause my heart so much misery
I will not break the way you did,
You fell so hard
I've learned the hard way
To never let it get that far

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid

I lose my way
And it's not too long before you point it out
I cannot cry
Because I know that's weakness in your eyes
I'm forced to fake
A smile, a laugh everyday of my life
My heart can't possibly break
When it wasn't even whole to start with

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid

I watched you die
I heard you cry every night in your sleep
I was so young
You should have known better than to lean on me
You never thought of anyone else
You just saw your pain
And now I cry in the middle of the night
For the same damn thing

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I try my hardest just to forget everything
Because of you
I don't know how to let anyone else in
Because of you
I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty
Because of you
I am afraid

Because of you
Because of you
