I yielded to habit and temptation and went to the news thread and it is full of peeps telling other peeps how to post....again...aarrrrgghh. I am so mad at myself...I knew that was how it would be but I just had to go and read it anyways! sigh....junie et al...I think I will just restrict myself to here too. And I promise to let go of the frustrations of the main thread...or at least leave them there where they belong.
I love that vid junie...it is easy for me as I have never been hooked on taking or even retaining pictures. Mind you, it is such a treat when one of my kids [both of whom take and save pictures] shows me an old one I had completely forgotten about! I am far too selfish to spend a whole concert behind a camera....I love to sing and sway and jump at a concert....I hate it when I am told to keep quiet...I am a singer-a-longer hehehe...
I also love to disect and analyze pretty much everything. I need to know the why of almost everything....if you don't understand the why something happened, you never really KNOW it...you may memorize an event but you don't understand it...it rarely makes it from the realm of memory to that of knowledge unless you know the why. And without knowledge, there can be no wisdom, For me, at any rate....
I think we tend to automatically add our own 'why' versions in the absence of overt proofs and then we can get into trouble. Which is why communal discussion and analysis is critical.
Oh dear...I am travelling in circles now. I will get it together.
The short form of this post is: ITA hehehe

I feel EXACTLY the way you do - I'm so damn frustrated but I can't seem to keep my mouth shut. ...and I don't know where to go because, although I admire all of the regulars in this thread, I don't have the energy to keep up with your musings...hehe (it taxes my wee brain   ).  |

I am escaping to here. Feeling sad that an observation coming from a place of love and caring gets attacked mainly because I suppose it was misunderstood 'cause I didn't express it that well initially but more problematically, because someone had a different experience and didn't gracefully allow me mine. Finding myself uncomfortable and was so looking forward to meeting and hanging with everyone at these concerts. I guess it is a micro chasm of how difficult it is for human beings to communicate. Wires get crossed in communion with the human race. Broken English leads to broken hearts. Just thought that sounded appropriately dramatic. I am not that upset. Just need some space. |

I'm not going to go look at the latest incident, but what I have never understood is when, all too often, people don't seem to be afforded respect based on long-established credibility and devotion. It's not unusual in human societies to crucify the newcomer or the outlier, but it seems unusual to crucify the Baldwin Sisters or Ike the shopkeeper. And yes I realize I just dated myself terribly.  You know, that reminds me of something more fun. Years ago on TV there was a western show called the Magnificent Seven. They did an episode where Oscar Wilde (played by the great Stephen Fry) came to town. I know Adam has a TV part lined up, but imagine the fun of some of the other TV shows he could have been on in the old days. I'll bet Walton's Mountain would never have been the same. |

I thought you expressed yourself beautifully. Thanks for the hug. I just had a PM from someone and she expressed it beautifully. "I think it's more of a subtle inner reading we got from him, not so much the exterior of what most people see and focus on. It's hard to explain if/when others don't pick up on stuff like that" and I would add or pick up something different because we all have our own inner barometers. That was the issue. I was not talking about an external expression of tiredness or the other descriptors I used. It was a subtle sense that his inner wellspring required more personal will on his part to connect to and bring forward. The concert was great. Everything people said was true. I was fascinated with this facet of the evening because I experienced it. Maybe it was just imagination and projection but you would be surprised at the PM's I have gotten. That is also troublesome because those members don't seem comfortable posting them. I understand the dampening effect of repetitive worry and complaining especially over things that happened in the past and can't be changed. I don't love that either but just skip over those things depending on my frame of mind. But this was my response to what I witnessed up close and personal.

And then being told repeatedly that your experience is invalid due to *reasons*... :-/ Ah don't worry. Just a week ago I met up with ATOPs, I thought I'd be a bit nervous and uncomfortable too since I'm a relative newcomer, but nah, this'll be water over the bridge by then and you'll have an amazing time with the Glamily. Trust! |
