Smashing Pumpkins. Here's Rock 'n Roll Fridays!
1. 1979 “Shakedown 1979, Cool kids never have the time. On a live wire right up off the street, You and I should meet”.
Where were you in 1979?
I was 7 years old...so I'm thinking I was either at Ft. Hood, Texas or we were in West Berlin, Germany (my dad was in the Army)
2. BELIEVE “And if they steal your life, your heart is still mine. Your song, you sing, a truth, there’s no other. I want to believe in you dear.”
What song do you love to sing along with?
Oh, I sing along to most every song that is on my long list of favorites.....and anything else that has a beat and has lyrics that aren't offensive.
3. BULLIT WITH BUTTERFLY WINGS “Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage. Someone will say what is lost can never be saved. Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage”.
When was the last time you felt like a rat in a cage?
if you mean trapped, in a situation I can't get out of or be free of....that would be most of the time--be it finances or the lack thereof, or emotions etc that I can't freely express, or the never ending work and projects I have to do (both at home and at work)....no rest for the weary, no peace for the soul,
4. CHRISTMASTIME “I remember dreaming, Wishing, Hoping, Praying for this day. Now I sit and watch them, the little ones I love”.
What day are you dreaming, wishing, hoping, praying for?
the day that I stop second guessing myself, that I stop being insecure and stand up for myself and demand the respect I deserve...I feel like I'm ready...but then I get terrified of what will happen and question if I'm worth it.
5. DISARM “I used to be a little boy, so old in my shoes. And what I choose is my voice. What’s a boy supposed to do?”
What did you bring to SHOW n TELL as a child to school?
I took my dog one year...well...my mom brought him to school. We had a German Shepherd named Stanley....he was as friendly as they come, loved to be outside. He was forever getting out when we opened the door....one day he did and we couldn't find him.
6. THIRTY THREE “Supper’s waiting on the table. Tomorrow’s just an excuse away. So I pull my collar up and face the cold, on my own. The Earth laughs beneath my heavy feet.”
When and where do you generally eat supper?
in the dining room, each evening at around 5-530
7. TODAY “To cleanse these regrets, my angel wings were bruised and restrained. My belly stings.
When was the last time your belly “stung”?
hmmmm....not really sure what this means....I had some stomach pains not too long ago....but that's about it.
8. TONIGHT TONIGHT “Time is never time at all, you can never ever leave, without leaving a piece of youth. And our lives are forever changed. We will never be the same. The more you change the less you feel.”
Despite the number, what age do you think you really are?
I feel alot older than I am...between my growing list of aches and pains and my ever growing list of not so pleasant life experiences....I'd say OLD
9. APPELS AND ORANJES “What if the sun refused to shine? What if the clouds refused to rain? What if the wind refused to blow? What if the seas refused to wave? What if the world refused it’s turn?”
Do you believe the 2012 catastrophe will happen? If so, how are you preparing for it?
um...no....the Earth as we know it will end when the Lord decides it is time for it to end..and not a moment sooner
10. CHERRY “Stay with me, I’ll set you free. ‘Cause I can tell you once were pretty. Rose, so sad you’ve lost your petals. Lost the luster off your tattle tales.”
What celebrity has not aged well?
I don't really follow all that stuff....so I really don't know....
11. CRESTFALLEN “Who am I to you? Along the way, I lost my faith. And as you were, you’ll be again. To mold like clay, to break like dirt. To tear me up in your sympathy.”
What was the last thing you made out of dirt or clay?
out of dirt.....I don't actually remember; clay, however, I have made many things....in high school art class, I made a bowl; I volunteered for a while in college at a residential youth treatment center in the ceramics dept and I helped pour and clean greenware, and I have made dog out of sculpey clay for a diorama for my son a couple years ago
12. EYE “Is it any wonder I found peace through you? Turn to the gates of heaven, to myself be damned. Turn away from eye, it’s not enough, just a touch.”
How do you find peace?
I journal, I pray, I read my scriptures, preferably someplace quiet and where I can be for the most part undisturbed. I find nature peaceful....water, trees, the sky....a gentle breeze as I walk.
13. MA BELLE “You must hold your truce alone. To make love happen, the moon must send you home. There’s no place that I’d rather be”.
When was the last time you walked in the moonlight?
it's been too long...my husband and I take walks at sunset often, but we haven't walked by moonlight in quite some time....thanks for the idea....we'll have to do that soon
