Valentine’s Day Is Near, So You’re Sort of Obliged To Think And Write About Love


 

     Once, I saw a meme that says, “the truest sign that she secretly loves you is when she (unreasonably) blocks you (on social media).” And a lot of people agree, some even commenting that ignoring or not reading your message is the most intense and most loving kind of response. And these people show no signs that  they are joking.

     It is something that will send you reeling and confused or exasperated.

     Can you really express love with indifference or hate? I mean, you like someone, and you show it but all this someone does is ignore you and avoid you for years, blocking you on social media not only once or twice—and then, one day, it will turn out that this person actually likes you back. Is this thing really a thing? I mean, can it really happen? Someone running away from you when all they actually want to do is run to you and give you the tightest embrace?

     Why would they run away in the first place? They are not sure of what you feel for them? Are they afraid that you’d eventually abandon them? But they won’t know it unless they dive into your arms. Are they hiding something that they think is never lovable.  But love means ignoring (unintentional) flaws. Haven’t they heard of the saying ‘love is blind?’ That the past, however dark or sordid, when you regret it, is irrelevant when it comes to love? Or is it the case of liking you but not really thinking that they can settle with you for life because they  think they deserve better? The reason why they are trying all their might to ignore you and drive you away.

     The thing here is, I believe love is always best expressed with affection. It can only be expressed with affection.

    And don’t let a meme say otherwise.

"Hey, This Song Has Built A House Inside My Head!"

Image
If you'd notice, I'd put a little musical thingamajig somewhere on this blog and I called it Last Song Syndrome. Last Song Syndrome, of course, happens when a song you just heard refuses to leave your mind for hours or even for days. You sing it or hum it while working or while taking a bath or changing your baby's or your granddad's diaper or taking your dog for a walk or just bumming around. I listen to a lot of Pink Floyd songs so most often than not, it is a Pink Floyd song that will always swirl inside my head. But I also listen to other musicians. I'll try to dissect and write a small background of every song that I will feature in this blog. The Final Cut is one of my fave Pink Floyd songs. Very emotional, very depressing and has great vocals by Roger Waters , it is one of the songs from the album The Final Cut (an anti-war CD that was released in 1983), the last album where Roger Waters (Pink Floyd's main songwriter) took part in. After that album, Water...

AND HERE'S SOME BAD NEWS...

Image
Seventeen years ago, Maureen Hultman, 16 years old, Roland John Chapman, 21 and Jussi Olavi Leino, 24, were returning home from a party when they were accosted and confronted by Claudio Teehankee Jr, 45. Teehankee, who was unknown to the three, demanded some identification. Leino took out his wallet and showed Teehankee an ID. Chapman approached them and asked Teehankee: “Why are you bothering us?” Teehankee drew out his gun and shot Chapman in the chest. “Why did you shoot me?” Chapman asked Teehankee as he was crumpling to the ground. Chapman died on the spot. Teehankee then ordered the now hysterical Hultman and Leino to sit together on the sidewalk. While seated, unarmed and begging for mercy, the two were gunned down by Teehankee. Hultman was killed while Leino survived and later identified Teehankee as the gunman. The nation was enraged with that senseless crime and demanded that the death penalty be restored. Teehankee was sentenced to one count of reclusion perpetua (ranging f...
