UPDATE: Thy “Missy” She Is Mending… …This Time.
Well, My Peeps…
…I Think The Official Word Of “Mending” Is Highly Appropriate Here.
She’s Still A Touch Lethargic…
…And She’s A Touch Touchy…
…BUT…
…She Has Eaten More In The Past TWO-DAYS…
…Than She Ate Over The Previous TWO-WEEKS!
I Have To Keep Telling Her To Slow Down, And To Remember To Breathe!
Sheesh!
That’s One VERY Hungry Kitty, Fo Flippin’ SHO!
😀
She Doesn’t Listen, Of Course, But I Know She Knows What The Hell I’m Saying!
😉
So What’s Next For Her?!
Well.
Today Is Her Last Day Of Antibiotics…
…And She Has A Few More Days Of Steroid Pills To Pop.
I Sincerely Hate Hate HATE Having To Give Her Meds At All.
I Know How They Screw-Up My Systems While They’re Healing Me…
…And I Imagine What She’s Going Through Is Similar.
Just Gotta Get Through A Couple More Days Before I Give The “ALL CLEAR” Signal.
I Don’t Wanna Jump The Proverbial Gun…
…But I Do Believe She’s Gonna Be Okie-The-Dokie…
…This Time.
THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR KIND WORDS AND THOUGHTS.
I…
…And “MISSY“…
…Both Kindly Thank You.
Let’s Just Hope We’re Not Going Through This Crap Again For A Long While…
…Fo SHO Fo SHO, My Peeps!

When A Line Of Lyrics Stands-Up And Screams “NOTICE ME!”
“Here Is The House…
…Where It All Happens…
…Those Tender Moments…
…Under This Roof…
…Body And Soul Come Together…
…As We Come Closer Together…
…And As It Happens…
…It Happens Here In This House…”
… …
“HERE IS THE HOUSE” Is One Of My All-Time Favorite (Lesser Known) Jams From DEPECHE MODE, And It’s Off Of Their Hit 1986 Album “BLACK CELEBRATION” !!!
… …
“…And I Feel Your Warmth…
…And It Feels Like Home…
…And There’s Someone…
…Calling On The Telephone…
…Let’s Say Home…
…It’s Cold Outside…
…And I Have So Much To Confide To You…
…With Or Without Words, I’ll Confide Everything. …”
… … … … … …
… …
The Biggest Reason I Love This Song…
…Odd As This May Seem…
…Is The Final Line Of Lyrics I’ve Presented Here To Y’all.
With Those Words Alone…
“…WITH OR WITHOUT WORDS, I’LL CONFIDE EVERYTHING…”
…I Was Sold On This Particular Song…
“HERE IS THE HOUSE“
by DEPECHE MODE
🙂 🙂
😀
Y’all Know Me.
Y’all Know I’m A Huge DEPECHE MODE Fanboy.
Y’all Have Seen Me Post Something Of Their Music Many A Time Before Now.
But I’ve Never Really Talked About One Simple Line Of Lyrical Brilliance (at least to me) Before.
“…WITH OR WITHOUT WORDS, I’LL CONFIDE EVERYTHING…”
…Honestly Says So Much.
It Resonates With Me.
Very Much So In Fact.
It’s The Basic Gist Of A Personal Life.
To ME…
“…WITH OR WITHOUT WORDS, I’LL CONFIDE EVERYTHING…”
…Is A Key Factor In The Game/Art Of Life.
It’s Something I’m Handily Horrible At, To Be Honest.
I Don’t Really Confide Much Of Anything…
…In Anyone…
…Ever.
I Have A Couple Key People In My World Who Know Enough About Me To Sink My Proverbial Ship.
And Those Are People I’d Trust…
…Not Only With My Words…
…But With My Life.
With A Couple Other People…
…I’d Confide A Few Things.
Things That Others Don’t Know…
…Or Couldn’t Know…
…But That Sincerely Couldn’t Harm Me Toooo Much If They Came To Light.
And That’s It.
The Rest Of My World Honestly Doesn’t Know Very Much About Me.
They Think They Do…
…But They’re Handily Mistaken.
I’ve Made Sure Of That.
But When It Comes To Life…
…There Are Other Ways To Confide In Someone.
And It Truly Does NOT Have To Be With Words.
It’s Done With Actions…
…Or, More Often, Inaction.
And I Think It’s That Way For The Bulk Of Civilization.
Period.
So I Think It Makes That Simple (yet brilliant) Line Of Lyrics Even More Special.
More Profound.
More Tangible.
Most Everyone Has Someone, Or Multiple Someones, They Confide In.
And They Do So In Their Own Ways.
Others Have No One They Truly Confide In.
Regardless…
…It Doesn’t Take Away The Power Contained In One Simple Line Of Lyrics.
It’s With Lines Such As These That Have Truly Made Me Love AND Appreciate A Band Like DEPECHE MODE.
Their Songs Are Loaded With Lyrical Bullets Such As This.
So Don’t Scoff At My Music, Kids.
I Don’t Just Enjoy The Pleasant/Pounding/Quirky/Odd’ish/Rhythmic Beats.
For ME…
…The Lyrics Are THE Important Part.
They Are What I’m Listening To.
Sure…
…The Beats Are Important…
…But It’s The Words That Sway Me…
…And Sell Me.
And So…
…I TAKE NOTICE.

Since I Can’t Sleep, I’m Watching “PATTON”!!! And While I’m Sure I Have More To Say About The Flick Itself, This Little Reblog Will Do For Now. It’s A Classic Among Classics, Fo SHO, And An All-Time Fave!
So Why Not Give It The Reblog, Ya Know?! Sure You Do!
