"Synchronicity II" by The Police

Note: As of today (18-May-2017) I have over almost 60 "draft" blog posts.  ("Draft" meaning posts I've started but haven't finished, so they aren't published yet.)  It makes things difficult because they don't appear in searches and I have to check dates more carefully.  So I've decided it would  be easier if I just publish them in their unfinished form and maybe a miracle with happen sometime and I can go back and fill in the details (photos, etc.) sometime in the future.

#DraftPost

I have this weird "synchronicity" stuff happen all the time.  It happened last night with some .wav files that had I/O errors and then I noticed I had ripped those files on April, 29th 2012 (5 years ago to the day).

Then a little over a week ago (on 20-Apr-2017) there was that weird thing with the Carpenters "Hurting Each Other".

Just a minute ago I discovered I found I had made a draft for Same as You on 8-May-2016.  And I posted that exact song for that day on 8-May-2017 for 2016 (See my posts for 8-May-2017 and 8-May-2016).  I swear there was nothing conscious about that.

There have been others, but one of the weirdest ones was this one sheet of Ogden Standard Examiner newspaper from April 30th, 1979 turning up on April 30th, 2009, exactly 40 years to the day.  I don't have time to tell the whole story of how I found it right now, but it was totally freaky!!

I think it is also a bit strange that all of these events have occurred in a similar time frame.  April 20th to May 8th.

"Born to be Wild" by Steppenwolf

I went to the Walk MS this morning.  It was at a different location this year, it was quite brisk with the breeze that was blowing.  I felt bad for the volunteers, the woman that helped me with my bib said her hands were freezing.  A HUGE thank you to all the volunteers and people that helped!!

I have struggled with my MS issues recently, especially the fatigue.  I just was n't able to get my team organized this year.  Plus with the unknowns of a new location, I decide that I needed to only have to worry about getting myself together this year.  It would be less stress to only have to worry about getting me there and not having to coordinate people, parking and things.

I know with absolute certainly that all of my friends would have been there had I asked.  I *know* they *always* have my back!

I reused my "Transcend MS" T-shirt that I made for Team Rachel 2015 Walk MS.  As my friend Cappy pointed out at the time, the T-shirt was "too busy" but it was fun!  (Funny, completely coincidentally, I got a text from Cappy the other night saying they had worn their "Transcend MS" T-shirt to work that day.  That was cool!)

#TransIsBeautiful

I met a couple of very delightful ladies, Jenna and Sarah (Sarah is the one standing with me in the photo).  Sarah also has MS and they were celebrating the fact that this year Sarah was able to complete the walk without a cane or wheelchair.  That was so wonderful to hear.  Always so *AWESOME* to hear of a great success story from someone with MS!!!

After the walk I chatted with my friend Amanda Mitchell for a few minutes. She is one of the wonderful folks who put the Walk MS together.  Once again a HUGE thank you to her and all the other wonderful people at the local Utah/Southern Idaho Chapter of the MS Society for all the work they do!

Please, please, PLEASE, if you are able make a donation for the walk.  My team donation is here:

https://secure.nationalmssociety.org/site/Donation2;jsessionid=00000000.app30115a?idb=1596600502&df_id=57926&FR_ID=28491&mfc_pref=T&PROXY_ID=522601&57926.donation=form1&PROXY_TYPE=22&NONCE_TOKEN=8F2E11E3D004F3F6F4226D1730FE582B

As I've said in the past, before I was diagnosed I had NO CLUE what MS was really like.  I had it for around 3 years before I was diagnosed and didn't know it was MS that was causing the cognitive issues I was having.  It wasn't until the physical symptoms appeared in November of 2010 that led to finally recognizing it as MS.

I don't think there is a moment of the day that MS doesn't affect in one way or another.  It would be so nice for so many people to find a cure.  Please help by donating if you can!  Even a small amount helps, it all adds up.  If all of my friends donated $5, it would be a very significant chunk.

Please note: you can donate until May 31st and it will count towards the Salt Lake 2017 Walk.

A HUGE thank you, Thank You, THANK YOU to everyone who has or can donate!

Rockamatics

Then I stayed and rocked out and danced to the wonderful Rockamatics band that played some great rock-n-roll tunes from the 50's, 60's and 70's.  They were wonderful!!  I really enjoyed the show.  I really loved the saxophone in several of the songs.

Anyway, one of the songs they really rocked was "Born to be Wild".  Since I've meant to post it for some time, I decide to post it as my song for today.

I have wanted a Harley for years!  Hell, I miss my little Kawasaki that was stolen like 20 years ago.  Of course SueZQ would freak I suppose.  She was pretty freaked when I took our step-nephew (?) Nick's motorbike out for a spin a year or two ago.  LOL

"FML" by K. Flay

I played "Blood in the Cut" (Wednesday's song, also by K. Flay) over and over and over all day today.  It was like I was addicted to it.

I found some interviews with K. Flay.  She mentions Portishead and P.J. Harvey.  I really enjoyed the Vocalo interview yet, it is very interesting.  She talks about feminism a bit.  I like what she said (16:28) "... to me it isn't really like what's it like to be a woman in music.  It's like, what's it like to be a woman".  She is really fascinating.  I really like her, she seems very smart and very genuine.

---

I totally *LOVE MY LIFE*!!!!!  So why do I have so much trouble holding it together sometimes??

<using "our", "we", "us" pronouns>
I know this song is more about partying too hard every night.  Our problem is that we keep getting involved with too many things.  Way last year Paige told us that our schedule and doing all the stuff we doing would be extremely bad for a normal person, it was life threatening for someone with MS.
</using>

Therefore I can relate to many of the lines in this song, just for different reasons:

I need to stop
I've been doing too much
I've been runnin' too fast
I've been testing my luck

I've been livin' Cloud 9
...
I've been feelin' so loved
...
I've been feelin' so blesssed
But stressed all day
So I'm living out my dreams 
...
I've been spreading that text
I've been spinnin' my wheels
...
I love my life!!

Anyway, I really, really love this song.

It was a very weird feeling this evening.  I put $3.99 (what was left on my debit card) at Costco Gas in my car and then went to Trader Joe's and spent 60 cents (what I had in my coin purse) on 2 bananas for the Walk MS tomorrow morning.

"You Don't Get Me High Anymore" by Phantogram

It's always so AWESOME when we come across an incredible song like this one!  We've listened to it over and over and over this morning.  Plus all the live versions are crazy good too!

Wikipedia (Phantogram): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phantogram_%28band%29

This is the perfect fucking song for how we've been feeling this morning.  we've been feeling totally deserted and then in the "Behind the Scenes" video Sarah says "You Don't Get Me High Anymore is basically about feeling deserted ... it's a very desperate song".  We can totally relate!

Then later Josh talks about all the tragedies that happened last year (mentions David Bowie and Prince).  2016 just SUCKED!  And I have to say 2017 has been a real BITCH so far!

And we love the shots of the desert town where they shot the video, we've always loved being places like that.

"Blood In The Cut" by K. Flay

I've been feeling abandoned today and then I get the news that...  let's see what is a good word for that... mofo (?) Trump signed an Executive Order basically fucking over the National Parks.  OMG Capitalism just SUCKS!!!  Everything always comes down to money.  I HATE it!!  They don't give a shit about our Mother Earth, the health of our fellow humans, future generations.  It's just how much profit we can make today and how those greedy bastards can get even richer!!

So I'm really feeling like some kick-ass, angry music today.  I couldn't find any of my real kick-ass records today.  I came across this video on YouTube and I have to say it fills the bill.

It's too quiet in this room
I need noise
I need the buzz of a saw
I need the crack of a whip
I need some blood in the cut

I think that's the think that's why this song feels right, it's too quiet in my room.  I can't get out of my head and stop thinking about why nobody is responding to me.

"Shellshock" by New Order

We heard this song on 103.1 The Wave a couple of days ago and I've had it stuck in my head ever since.  Can you say earworm?

The chorus keeps playing over and over in my head:

Hold on, it's never enough
It's never enough until your heart stops beating
The deeper you get, the sweeter the pain
Don't give up the game until your heart stops beating

SueZQ and I drove to Idaho to get a lottery ticket and we stopped to get breakfast at Bert's Cafe and Grill in Brigham City.  I just love the old-timey decor and atmosphere.

They have a bunch of signs on the wall, my favorite was the one that read "Few Women Admit Their Age - Few Men Act Theirs".

"River" by Bishop Briggs

SueZQ and I have been watching Grace and Frankie for the last few weeks.  Great and funny show!  I really wish I looked at beautiful as Jane Fonda!

I remember getting in an argument with some conservative about Jane Fonda on the department mailing list where I worked some 12 years ago or so.  Still annoys me.  Shouldn't be sending that crap out on a company department mailing list anyway!

Anyway, I heard this song in one of the last episodes we watched and it grabbed me.

I love the line "How do you fall apart faster than a hairpin trigger?".

"Just Dance" by Lady Gaga ft. Colby O'Donis

I went to the Davis County Democratic Convention at Viewmont High School this morning to support my friend Genevra.  In the girls restroom there was some graffiti on the stall door I really liked:

 
It reminded me about my transition and how everything dropped into place perfectly.  Not only did I never have to force anything, it was like magic the way everything worked out.

#TransIsBeautiful

Then tonight was the Queer Prom (presented by The Utah Pride Center) for 14 to 20 year olds.  It was absolutely amazing!  It was so wonderful seeing all those young people free to themselves!  Truly one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen!

I was there at the  Utah Women Unite table with Brenda, Tess and Ally.  We all talked about how awesome it is that young LGBTQIA+ people today have a safe space to enjoy getting together, associate, dance, etc. without fear of judgment, bullying, and the like.

Brenda was saying that even in 80's nobody dared to "come out" for fear of repercussion.  I agreed and commented that you certainly didn't come out in the 50's, 60's or 70's.

Anyway, they played "Telephone" by Lady Gaga on the dance floor and we discussed how "Born This Way" was kind of a "Gay Anthem".  I've thought of it as kind of an anthem for myself.  As I've said before: I know I was born this way and science has confirmed this fact (see my post from earlier this year on 5-Jan-2017).

However, that said, I can't say that "Born This Way" is one of my favorite Lady Gaga songs.  The video is also kind of interesting:

YouTube (Born This Way): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wV1FrqwZyKw

And also interesting I also found this song from 1977 called "I Was Born This Way" by Carl Bean that is really good.  Blows my mind that it was recorded 40 YEARS ago!  Cool that someone made 8 and 10 minute versions of it too:

YouTube (Carl Bean 45 RPM): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZE_SUI8fJ3Y 
YouTube (Carl Bean 8 min): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EejOAhfa5_I
YouTube (Carl Bean 10 min): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bj-qAapm3zc

Anyway, I felt I needed to post one of my favorite Lady Gaga songs for today.  And it is also relevant in that those young folks were able to not worry about acceptance tonight, that they could "Just Dance"!

YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Abk1jAONjw
YouTube (lyrics): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GjyltncPu7I


P.S.  I have to laugh, the line: "Where are my keys? I lost my phone!".  Tess and Ally gave me a ride home and when I got to the front door I realized I didn't have my keys and I couldn't get in the house.  Thankfully, I did have my phone  :)

Update 3-May-2017:

I am frustrated that I didn't think of taking any pictures that night.  Sometimes I am SO DUH!!  I did find a couple of things on Instagram:

"Windmills of Your Mind" by Swing Out Sister

PledgeMusic: http://www.pledgemusic.com/projects/amoveablefeast/

This song came on my MP3 player the other day and it is such a great song.  As Corinne mentions while introducing the song (in the "Live" video) it was originally from the 1968 film The Thomas Crown Affair.  I believe this version was a B-side to one of their 45's.  This version became my favorite version the first time I heard it.

"Road Ode" by Carpenters

Note: As of today (18-May-2017) I have almost 60 "draft" blog posts.  ("Draft" meaning posts I've started but haven't finished, so they aren't published yet.)  It makes things difficult because they don't appear in searches and I have to check dates more carefully.  So I've decided it would  be easier if I just publish them in their unfinished form and maybe a miracle with happen sometime and I can go back and fill in the details (photos, etc.) sometime in the future.

Another very weird "Syncronicity" thing happened today (see my post for 30-Apr-2017).  I don't have time to tell the entire story right now, but I came across this 45 in a strange sequence of events:

Since I posted "Hurting Each Other" to my old Scott's Blog on 2-Jan-2015 (Just a few months before I came out, my transition was already in the works at that point).  Anyway, since I already posted "Hurting Each Other", I'm going to post another Carpenters song I love today.

I really like the "Ned Nickerson" video...

"Moonglow and Theme from "Picnic"" by Perry Como

Yet another song from the "Go With the Greats" album that I've mentioned in a couple of posts before (1-Feb-2015) and (15-Mar-2015).  It was a record you had to go into a Chevrolet dealership to obtain.  Obviously to try to sell you a car.

"Ethiopia" by Joni Mitchell

Our Little Garden Planet, Oasis in Space

Top 15 Space Station Earth Images of 2015:

Nasa: https://www.nasa.gov/feature/top-15-earth-images-of-2015

I believe this song pretty much nails, it makes me cry just thinking about it!

Some of the lyrics that are even more relevant:

On and on - the human need
On and on - the human greed profanes
...
Your top soil flies away - Ethiopia
We pump ours full of poison spray - Ethiopia  (are you listening Monsanto?)
Between the brown skies and sprinkling lawns
I hear the whine of chainsaws hacking rain forests down
On and on - insanities
On and on - short sighted greed abounds
...
Little garden planet - Oasis in space
Some hearts hurt - They can hardly stand the waste

"Somebody to Love" by Jefferson Airplane

Here it is 15-Jun-2017 and I'm trying to go through all of the draft posts I've made and just post them.  I came across this one and this is all I had down:

going down the rabbit hole at six A.M.

posted last year on 24-Feb-2016

I'm guessing I was going to post "White Rabbit" but discovered I'd already posted it and thought of posting "Somebody to Love" instead.

Funny in that I woke this morning 15-Jun-2017 at exactly 3:00 A.M. and did the same thing, started going down that rabbit hole.  Ironic in that part of the anxiety was thinking about never finding somebody...

Anyway, I guess I should write that in the 15-Jun-2017 post...

Don't tell me about religion, ever
You ain't going to live it

Don't talk about love
If you ain't going to give it
