~ Chapter 1: ...why isn't the Title working? [I guess this'll have to be for now.] ~

Currently on is '1963' by New Order.

Alright, for some reason I can't type in the title. I don't know what's up with that, nor do i want to investigate that at the moment. I'm sure I'll figure it out. Eventually.

Otherwise, here's what's been going down.

Yesterday Mike left for home. Finally. At around 7- to near 8-ish. And I miss the kid already. I wanted to let him know about this blog, and the fact that I hope he has a safe journey, but as his dad was around and Mike himself was in a rush, I couldn't say a word. After I got back to my apartment I sorta cried about it. I was such a baby--well, not quite. That and, my heart just broke along the way. I had never had such a heartache like that.

So Mike, if you're reading this, just so you know, I still love you. But you shouldn't have told me to get going so suddenly. That was... bloody hell. That was just wrong. Otherwise, I hope your summer goes well. And yes, you're welcome to visit anytime. [Just, well, just call me in advance, okay? Thanks.]

*sigh* There. Got that off my chest. Thank God.

Next up, there's the biggest event of the month: Morrissey at the Hard Rock Live in Orlando next Sunday night!! EEEEEEEEEEEEE!! [Can you tell I'm extremely excited?]

I mean, I've been listening to New Order since I was a kid. Same with the Cure. And so it is with the Smiths. Now, for those who DON'T know, Morrissey was the lead singer for the Smiths. And yes, he still does music. He's got about 7 or 8 solo albums, 'Viva Hate' being his first, 'Ringleader of the Tormentors' being his latest. I still love his Smiths stuff the best [in fact, I have a mix full of 18 Smiths songs!!], and I listen to it from time to time. 'There Is a Light That Never Goes Out' happens to be my favorite Smiths song too. That and the following...

Rubber Ring.
Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others.
How Soon Is Now?
This Charming Man.
Shakespeare's Sister.
William, It Was Really Nothing.
The Headmaster Ritual.
Panic.
Bigmouth Strikes Again.

...that'll round out my Top 10 all-time favorite Smiths songs. W00t!! :-)
