Just like that, I’m back. Ready to kick the tires and light the fires. All is well in my world.

Another song that hits close to home is Kid Rock’s “When You Love Someone”.

I tell you it will shake the earth beneath your feet
The light that shines will redefine your old beliefs
What you reap is what you sow and so it goes
Where you plant your needs is where your garden grows
Before you think about yourself
Think of someone else, it will make you feel

Each day ain’t wine and roses
I doubt it’s meant to be
Always a cross to bear salvation don’t come free
A heart that beats is a heart that bleeds
And you know that’s true
So don’t deny yourself of something good for you
Before you do it for yourself, do it for someone else
That makes it real

‘Cause when you love someone
It don’t matter what you say
When you love someone
You will dance the night away
When you love someone
There ain’t nothing you can’t do
Ain’t that right
Yeah I want to love someone tonight

Will you believe in love or just sit around and judge?
Can you forgive someone or will u hold a grudge?
Cuz above selfishness there lies a bright blue sky
And wealth and happiness can be a long and lonesome ride
Yes it’s hard to steer yourself
Without that someone else to take the wheel
Take the wheel

Do you believe in the art of growing old
Do you believe that rock n roll can save your soul
Do you believe in everything you do
Cuz when you do that’s when it all comes back to you
Before you think about yourself
Think of someone else
Do it for yourself
And do it for someone else

I find it more difficult to forgive myself, than it is for me to forgive others. Linkin Park’s “What I’ve Done” just played in my playlist. Somehow, it rings so true for me right now. The lyrics are below:

In this farewell
There’s no blood
There’s no alibi
‘Cause I’ve drawn regret
From the truth
Of a thousand lies

So let mercy come
And wash away
What I’ve done

I’ll face myself
To cross out what I’ve become
Erase myself
And let go of what I’ve done

Put to rest
What you thought of me
While I clean this slate
With the hands of uncertainty

For what I’ve done
I start again
And whatever pain may come
Today this ends
I’m forgiving what I’ve done!

What I’ve done
Forgiving what I’ve done

“You know, it’s funny. Some of us will never, ever find true love. Like, take for instance, me. And I’m pretty sure that guy, right there. And that lady with the sideburns. And basically everbody at table nine. But the worst thing is that me, fatty, sideburns lady, and the mutants over at table nine will never, ever find a way to better the situation. Because apparently, we have absolutely nothing to offer the opposite sex.” – The Wedding Singer

Seinfeld makes a few good points. I know I could relate to a few of the things he said.
