Things that make me cry.. life .. lol. ..bad weather.. ..hahaha..I
mean..like reeally bad weather.. ..when it's dark for ages ..and shit
happens. (I live in sweden..and wintertime gets me real depressed at
times).
hm..what else.. I dunno really..
Once I saw a puppy lying face up on a trashpile when I visited Gambia..
..and the puppy had wounds and couldnt move. I didnt cry then.. Guess Im
hardened ..and only cry when I feel there's hope.
Seeing my dad locked up.. ..shit like that.
Why am I saying all this?
Because..if books and music make you cry..you must be real lucky and have a
pretty damn good life. So Be happy.
Until recently..I had never cried listening to a song. Sobbing is one
thing..I guess I did that as a kid watching bambi. lol.. But I mean real
tears.
There's this great girl in my life right now. She is so insanely
beautiful. Her smile makes me cry. And when she speaks.. ..hahahaha..
..man.. Do I cry.
:-D
If you can cry about your own life..you're lucky.
If you can cry for somebody else..you're blessed.
If you can cry listening to a song..you're close to heaven.
If you can cry listening to a song..The gods are impressed.
If you can cry listening to a song..then..my friend..You are fortunate.
"Speachless" -- Michael Jackson .
Michael is on trial now. ..I know.
But perhaps when he's declared innocent..you won't mind listening to the
song. :-) ____________________ Jameel |

God..I fucking love you guys! :-D *deeply touched*
..man..I'd forgotten how beautiful humans are..
..damn.. ..Im a bad motha fucka..Im not supposta be touched by all your
talk about songs and books and stuff.. ..shit.. :-D
Thanks yall.. I thought I was dead inside.. ..guess not.
Yeah.. one more thing. You all disgust me! :-D yeeeesh!
Now Im gonna have to download all those songs you talked about..
I've been sitting here reading everything..like a manic depressive..
You all should be very happy if the only thing that makes you cry..is a
song.
Some people cry when they watch movies.. ..some cry when they hear songs..
..Some cry about their lives. Some hardly ever cry at all. You all sound
very lucky to me.
Be happy about that. |

*wondering how the dam broke*
Anyway...
Book: A Child Called It ...good trigger for some seriously bad
flashbacks, tons of sobbing...
Movies: Dumbo ...if you've been there, you know... Dangeous
Liasons ...the breakup scene...and what follows...(i'd name names, but
my spelling sucks at 4am)...
Music: Night Bird by Deep Forest...the chorus...well, it sounds
like the purest, most profound soul's cry of grief...and loss...
Snow on the Sahara by Anggun...it just says a lot about how I
feel...about...things...
One and One by Robert Miles...don't ask me why...Maria Nayler's
voice is akin to nails on a chalkboard, but something about it just does
something to me...
Come to Me by Vangelis...this song has served as a conduit for
many things, all of which usually end in tears, not necessarily of pain,
nor of joy...also Fields of Coral ...hard not to cry when the music
cries too...
Blood of Eden by Peter Gabriel...beginnings...and endings...
Iris by Goo Goo Dolls...
Universe and Gunning Down Romance by Savage Garden...
and there's also some music files that someone I cared for a great deal
sent to me...
That's why music is such a profoundly private thing...it's tied to so
much...I don't sing in front of or play music for people unless I really
trust them...
Poetry:
When You are Old
WHEN you are old and gray and full of sleep
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;
How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true;
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face.
And bending down beside the glowing bars,
Murmur, a little sadly, how love fled
And paced upon the mountains overhead,
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.
William Butler Yeats
since feeling is first
who pays any attention
to the syntax of things
will never wholly kiss you;
wholly to be a fool
while Spring is in the world
my blood approves,
and kisses are a better fate
than wisdom
lady i swear by all flowers. Don't cry
- the best gesture of my brain is less than
your eyelids' flutter which says
we are for each other; then
laugh, leaning back in my arms
for life's not a paragraph
And death i think is no parenthesis
e.e. cummings
Personally:
I do lots of stupid things. It's human nature, I guess. And I cry over
the boneheaded decisions I make that cost me more than I wanted to part
with.
And the flashbacks...it's fun being tormented by shit I can't change...
Fortunately, I've learned to make the best of bad situations...and bang my
head against the wall creatively...
As for the bad shit...well, when it comes, it comes...
Time to shut up...I'm babbling...

Black Beauty, the newer movie version that came out a few years ago.
Whenever it gets to the part where he sees Ginger's dead body being hauled
away on a cart, I bawl.
And again, at the end when he is reunited with his old groom. I'm a sucker
for crying during movies..I absolutely love it. ____________________ Wind me up and make me crawl to you, tie me up until I call to you. |

chameleon... the song was "Return to Pooh Corner" and it was by Kenny
Loggins. I used to sing that to my twins when they were born, especially
the one I had to stay at the hospital with overnight once when he had to
have a minor operation. That song has choked me up since childhood... the
part where he says, "When all's said and done, I was watching my son, lying
there with my bear by his side." Since I sang that song to him so much in
the hospital, I gave him the one remaining teddy bear I had left from my
childhood. The twins take turns sleeping with it. It chokes me up when I go
to check on them at night and I see one of them sleeping with it.
daria... any hans christian anderson story can be cause for tears, but for
me, The Little Match Girl was always the one that caused full-on
depression... to freeze to death while watching all the illusions of
everything she couldn't have, and not realize that she was the one dying
when she saw the star fall... brings me to tears every time. And then when
the people find her frozen body in the snow, surrounded by burnt matches...
and they say, "She was trying to keep warm." *sob*

I did not know that! Maybe that's why I liked it...
Don't worry about the whole crying thing. The first Johnny Cash song I
ever heard was Ghost Riders in the Sky when I was like...eight or
something. The first time I heard it again after he died, I almost burst
into tears in the middle of a crowded student center. ____________________ Okay, dazzle me. |

Johnny Cash did a song like that a long time ago, I think it's called "long
black veil". It's the very same storyline... a man is killed, and the
killer looks a lot like the song's patron, and he's tried, and all he has
to do to save his own skin is tell them where he was that night, but yes he
was sleepin with his buddies girl so he kept his mouth shut and hung for
it. It's a good song, rather folky, but good.
Oh, and they played a Cash song on a commercial the other night and I was
high on nyquil and sick as a fucker and already crying in misery, and it
made me just BURST into tears. I don't even remember what song it was...I
think it was "I walk the line" which isn't a sad song, but hey, the
circumstances, folks. Poor michael thought I'd lost my mind. He was like
"What is WRONG now?!" and I just bawled "I MISSSSS HHIIIIMMMM OOH MY GOD
I'M SOOOO SAAAAD WAAAAAAHHHHHH!!"
I'm such a douchebag sometimes, I swear. ____________________ Trapped in time. Surrounded by evil. Low on gas. |

I love the original version of Snow White. Especially the part where Evil
Mom is forced to put on shoes of white-hot iron and dance herself to death.
I don't care who you are, that's fun for the whole family to enjoy. And in
even older versions of the story, it's not her stepmom doing all the
jealousy murder stuff, it's her actual mother. Fun times!
And I also like the grave digger. Dave Matthews in general strikes an odd
chord with me, mostly due to my mother and sister playing him all the
freaking time. But when I heard grave digger on the radio for the first
time, I couldn't turn it off. It is a really moving song. There is another
one of his, and the name escapes me right now, about a man who is charged
with a murder, but has an airtight alibi. He was sleeping with his brothers
wife. Instead of revealing her, he takes the wrap and gets hung for the
crime, and every night the wife stands by the grave. Also very sad. Kind of
chokes me up just thinking about it. ____________________ Okay, dazzle me. |

Disney perverts quite a few old "classics" because they are oriented
towards children, and most of said "classics" are far too grisley in nature
to be an animated adventure for the whole family I liked the
original version of the little mermaid a LOT better, just like you. Can
you imagine if disney did the ORIGNAL version of "snow white"? That'd be a
hoot.
On the actual topic, I don't know if I was in a bad mood or just way dopey
from the cold medication, but I was watching MTV 2 and Dave Mathews has a
new song out called "grave digger" and I was stunned by what a good/sad
song it is.
"Little john (somethingorother) 1964-1975, rode his bike like the devil,
until the day he died." (showing a little boy speeding on his bike through
his neighborhood, right into the path of an oncoming classic chevy) "grave
digger, won't you dig my grave, make it shallow, so I can feel the rain"
I'm not a huge dave mathews fan, but I've liked a selected few of his songs
a LOT, and this one is fantastic. Very emotional song. ____________________ Trapped in time. Surrounded by evil. Low on gas. |

Hans Christian Anderson's "The Little Mermaid" makes me cry EVERY time I
watch it. I hate hate hate the Disney version! It's such a perversion from
a beautiful (and sad) love story...
Another thing that makes me cry sometimes (if I'm in the right state of
mind) is seeing little girls out in town with their dads... I posted an
article about my dad issues once. That's all I'm going to say about that,
lest I break down and cry now.
There's also a song that I have to change the radio station should I hear
it while driving... I don't even know the name of the song, or who it's by.
I just know what I associate it with, and it's actually something very
happy. Too happy for me not to cry about it. The beginning lines are all I
really know off the top of my head: "Your love is better than ice cream.
It's better than anything else that I've tried. Your love is better than
ice cream, cuz everyone here knows how to cry." ____________________ "I've told you before, I don't comprehend religion, although
conviction is a concept I'm beginning to get. In any case, a person
with a real religious conviction is, I propose, a religious convict,
and deserves locking up." |

Getting back on the topic of sad and meanigful things...
As a Simon and Garfunkel fan, I find Scarborough Fair much more
tear-jerking than the Sound of Silence, and sometimes I feel like crying
when listening to I Am A Rock. THere's only been one song that has truly
made me bawl, and that was the theme song to the movie Jerry Mguire, Bruce
Springsteen's Secret Garden. Wait, let me add one more to that category ~
Hall and Oates song about WInnie the Pooh, oh hell, what is it called?
crap...
I'll remember eventually...
THe otehr day I saw a rerun of Mr. Rogers, and that made me cry a lot,
surprisingly enough. He was such a god guy, and definitely a good
neighbour. Man, you never know how much you miss something until its gone,
as the proverb goes. ____________________ The perfect mind is like a mirror. It grasps nothing. It expects nothing.

Whoo...something just happened that kind of choked me up.
I went to a community college in San Diego for three years before I
transfered up here to Spokane. Needless to say, the community is very
different than what I am used to. One of the things that I was very much
used to would be sitting outside on the community college campus, reading
whatever the hell I had due in an hour, and listening to the small drumming
circles that were scattered around campus. It was something that I really
enjoyed and got very used to.
Spokane is pleasant in it's own way, but it isn't home. So when I came
across a drumming circle as I hauled off across campus earlier today, it
caught me completely off gaurd. For one brief moment, I felt like I was in
SD again. It didn't last long, but it was enough to get my attention.
Christmas break can't get here fast enough. ____________________ Okay, dazzle me. |

poor rozz......1334....sniffle
as far as music goes vnv nation "forsaken" comes to mind. a guy from my
home scene put the vocal version to pictures of 9/11. it was moving.
especially "i'm supposed to walk away from here" gets me every time.
that day was hellish, i was in the army at the time. formations every hour
, they were worried our base might be hit next,etc. anyhow i cannot listen
to "forsaken" and not think about the worse thing that i have ever been a
witness to.
another song, "drifting" by lycia. when i hear that song the music brings
tears to my eyes. the music sounds like the ocean moving. i find that song
so beautiful it hurts.
of course there is also every song on catastrophe ballet. that is an album
of tears. ____________________

Court onions only make your eyes bleed if you jam the knife into your
eye.
And YES it's WAY creepy that so many people knew rozz. From what I can
gather he was an out and about and everywhere guy, but we were talking
about famous people at work, and how I know NO famous people (except for
some people in local seattle area bands, one is actually getting kind of
big they're called "Ruckus" and those guys are fucking idiots and assholes
'cept for the tall one named Jake, but HE's nice the rest of the guys are
fucking dickhead morons, believe me I went to highschool with them)
and she told me that she went to rozz williams wake (and gitane demone was
there too), and she met Ogre from skinny puppy at a party for the artist
who did his album cover art.

The twisted shit surrounding the "mystery of the birthdays".
(Keep in mind that the following are brithdays...not birthdates as the
years are different.)
My husband's birthday is one day before my ex-husband's birthday. My mother
in law's birthday is one day after my ex-marraige date. My wedding date is
the same day as my deceased brother in law's birtday. My grandmother in law
shares my middle child's birthday. (children-natural and step- and their
whereabouts -or lack of my knowledge of such- must be addressed at a later
date as to when I can actually handle addressing the issue... for now it's
somewhat repressed...okay enough of that) Continuing with the mystery of
the birthdays...husband's ex-wife's birthday is one day before my sister's.
Most of the similar birthdays cause me to get really weird and cry when
they come up. It's getting better over time, but it's still much weirdness.
There are more but that's enough for now. ____________________ "When choosing between two evils, I always like to try the one I've
