Tuck and Patti

Tuck and Patti have been performing for over 20 years and I have been aware of them about that long.

 

I got their first CD “Tears of Joy” in the year it was released and I loved it and them.

 

I have 5 of their CDs – though I seem to just have the cover of one of them so presume that the CD remains in the car of an ‘ex’. I introduced Tuck and Patti’s music to the ex.

 

Speaking of said ex – I have never seen Tuck and Patti live and they have been to Australia at least once.

But the ex took the girl she was sleeping around with to see them, whilst we were still together! I know it’s been over 5 years but the bitch in me says “I bet she doesn’t love the music like I did!”

 

Anyway this isn’t meant to be about past bitterness – this about sharing Tuck and Patti with you all – find them – there is a lots of live footage on you tube – despite video recording via telephone Patti’s voice is amazing – my favorite track “In My Life” – by Lennon & McCartney – ya know those 20^th century poets I mentioned yesterday.

 

Here’s a peep:

Listen to them – they are worth it

 

MInd altering Shakespeare?

So I quoted William on FB today, as follows:

"Doubt thou the stars are fire, Doubt that the sun doth move, Doubt truth to be a liar, But never doubt I love." Hamlet Act 2, Scene 2

And it was suggested I was heavily medicated, and hey, I am but...

That's my fave quote, it indicates to me that love is serious, I'm telling the world that my love is serious, I am serious, seriously! :) Okay so maybe I am a little medicated.

Next I'll be quoting those great poets of the 20th century, Lennon & McCartney...

I have a crush, actually I have a few but most I don't take seriously. Only 1 I believe might be real...ish!

My first issue is that we work for the same organisation and I have a rule -
"I don't do the crew!". I have never actually 'done' the crew, though there has been potential and I have also seen how doing the crew has damaged many a professional relationship so hence the rule.

Secondly when I first came across her - I didn't actually like her much. However the like factor was fairly influenced by others which I usually try to avoid but failed miserably in this case - I believed the hype or lack of it. So far things don't look so good huh?

I had a dream about her - and yes it was a sex dream. And yes, I know sex dreams are normal - but sex dreams with people you are not particularly thinking about are not. I only see her randomly - maybe twice a week and only in passing and for a few minutes to say hey how ya doin etc, and I'm pretty sure I hadn't seen her in the week I had the dream so I could not for the life of me work out what the trigger was that made it her.

I came to the conclusion that I was just opening doors. So the door opened and...

I still only see her maybe once or twice a week but I have noticed she seems to have become more confident in talking to me, I don't know if that is because I am scary or she lacks confidence generally, but I am a little 'puffed up' and proud that she is warming to me. Each time I see her she thinks of new things to discuss, mostly about me playing golf but it means she's thinking about the connection I guess.

So here's the deal - she plays her cards very close to her chest, I have no idea if she's gay much less interested in me. I have googled her (not much to find I'm afraid) and we have had a little more conversation. I am not totally selfish I have asked her a couple of questions. And it's been a while since I've done this and I am feeling a little kicked about in that arena,

It was only 5 years that I was a bit of a player, certainly not scared of being shot down. But now I feel so uncertain of how and where to take the next step. I think I'm gonna have to bite the bullet and ask her out for coffee and see what happens.

All I know is I smile, I get great pleasure of seeing her fleetingly once or twice a week for a few brief minutes. I like it. It's gotta mean something doesn't it?

the last 6 months

the last 6 months or so have been a struggle. I knew it; I recognised the signs of depression but just wasn't strong enough to remove the dark cloud that hung over me. However I also recognised the signs that meant it could be worse. As long as I was eating, all could be okay. However, at home, alone, I avoided reality by hiding on the internet, reading short stories, playing games - but I wasn't writing.

Writing is something I do when I am in my darkest moments but I couldn't commit to that. I couldn't even commit to my study - dropped out of 1 class and barely scraped in a pass in the other.

So now - now I am feeling better, not 100% but better. I have a couple of health issues - need to have the gall bladder removed - should only be an overnighter. However I spent a week in hospital with pancreatitis and during my stay spent mostly on morpheine on fluids I had a dream, a good one and I think its a basis for a novel...

so the desire to write has returned - now I have to buckle down and do it - as well as work, uni and golf :0 kinda nice to be busy again!
