Grateful On a Friday ssc

I am a man of modest means, who has worked his entire adult life. Yet I am rich in music, friends and family. In the past my heart has been ripped out, stomped on, and betrayed in ways which are hard to imagine, and I care not to go into it, but I never let any of it keep me down for long. Lies about me have hurt me, but I never let those lies define me. Life is too short to let anyone steal your happiness for an extended period of time. I am grateful I collected the tools along the way to turn those wounds into barely noticeable scars.

Eventually I just keep on laughing and enjoying what life has to offer to a guy like me. It offers a great deal. You simply have to see the glass as half full and drink heartily from the glass.

A sense of humor, friends, music, and a general love of life is the key. And in time I kept right on dating even when my friends could not understand why. "Why" is simple. I like the company of women, and women are not all alike. Shall I blame an entire gender for the behavior of half a dozen? No. Of course not. And women - all men are not alike either.

In time, I forgave. And that, perhaps, is the biggest key. I made mistakes myself. All human beings do. I forgave their lies, selfishness, and or betrayal, not so much for them as for me. Holding a grudge does not work for me. It slowly eats you up inside. Forgive and you are set free.

I know this is a different tone from my usual TGIF "Let's raise some hell" posts but it is what is on my mind at the moment and we are most certainly going to raise the roof this weekend anyway!

Just wanted to say "Thank You" to Keno for having this place and putting in all the work involved in running it, and to all the Gassers who make it a fun, cool place to hang out. I think of my great friend, Sophie, devilsadvocate, who is simply one in a million, for too many reasons to list here. Bryan, MakeMeRun, who has sent me enough CDs over the years to give me an incredible collection all on it's own. (Come back Bryan!) Human Riff, for the same reason, Jivin' Sister Jan, for her incredible mischievious blue eyes and her great sense of humor! Keefer, for all of the above. Rock on brother! Dano, for securing those Packers tickets for me a few years ago and feeding me brats and beer, and everyone else who adds color to this place in their own unique style... Payphone Al, 2000 Man, Pluto, Teiz, manny, whls, Sahaira and on and on...

I am grateful to you all!

And I am grateful I will be at the Parkway Brewery drinking a bounty of "Get Bent Mountain IPA" by 6PM tonight with a beautiful blonde by my side. Life is good! A live band inside and happy people and friends mixing outside on picnic tables. Spring is here baby!

Raise Hell responsibly this weekend!
