A "Strange Gentleman" Reminisces... : The 39 Week 41.3 Round Up/Update [T39W41.3RU/U]
Two posts in one week? Yes... it's a rarity, but I had to share a li'l more than I had shared on Thursday
am I a "strange gentleman?"
I've been told several times - especially lately - that I apologize too much as well as thank people too much
in particular I've been told not to apologize for things that I cannot control, EVEN if they're my responsibility
honestly, I'd always thought that was the right thing to do?
when I mentioned that to one person I was told that I'm too much a "strange gentleman"
personally I think that sounds kinda cool and would look great on a business card, but nonetheless... *ponders*
I was reminded of this song this week, when it suddenly popped into my head after years... so of course I had to play it, then look for the video!
I used to sing this song to myself my first year at WHS, though I doubt over half the people had any idea what I was sayin', let alone where it came from...
I was on the cusp of becoming the person that people now seem to know and love - quite unlike the person I'd been before, the person the people thereafter never knew...
this song had been a sort of anthem to me
I WAS scared but strong - and wished nothing but the worst for most of the people who only knew the "darker" me, the me that never really was me
while, yes, I have my darkness... but it's wired the way *I* want it to be, and not at all the way those fake-friends, those hanger-ons who never knew ME, thought
they feared me (for good reason at the time), but once I broke away from them and that world *I* had no reason to fear me, for I finally knew who I was
...and the many friends I made after leaving that world behind, those friends from WHS and the many years after, they actually cared to know ME
and I appreciate the each and every one of them, those I haven't seen in years and those I'll never see again
to them I offer this anthem, in a different light, that they have nothin' to fear from me nor a need to fear whenever I'm around
and so ::
""Hey man, I think I like bein' scared and I wish you all were there..."
