"I'll See You Again"

So a friend of mine and I ended up going through our music last night, showing each other different songs the other hadn't heard before. He absolutely loves Westlife, and while I do like them, I had kind of forgotten about them and had no idea they had 10 albums out! I think I have two... maybe.

Anyway, I just got their latest album and was just listening through it and the last song came on. It's called "I'll See You Again." I couldn't help but think about my grandpa, who passed away almost two months ago now. Now, for reasons unknown to me, my tears hardly ever work so I didn't cry when I listened to it, but I have a feeling that the average person would. Thus, I warn you that this song I am posting below MAY make you cry if you have lost someone close to you - especially if it was recent.

I really like the lyrics, so I am going to post those below the link for you to read if you so choose. The link is from YouTube and is just a user's interpretation of the song, taking video clips from certain films. Anyway, enjoy. :)

I'll See You Again: 

Always you will be part of me
And I will forever feel your strength
When I need it most
You’re gone now, gone but not forgotten
I can’t say this to your face
But I know you hear

Chorus:
I’ll see you again
You never really left
I feel you walk beside me
I know I’ll see you again
When I’m lost, when I’m missing you like crazy
I tell myself I’m so blessed
To have had you in my life, my life

Chorus

When I had the time to tell you
Never thought I’d live to see the day
When the words I should have said
Would come to haunt me
In my darkest hour I tell myself
I’ll see you again

Chorus x 2

I will see you again
I’ll see you again
I miss you like crazy
You’re gone but not forgotten
I’ll never forget you
Someday I’ll see you again
I feel you walk beside me
Never leave you, yeah
Gone but not forgotten
I feel you by my side
No this is not goodbye

Facebook ... "Friends"

First of all, thank you all for reading my blog. Secondly, why does no one ever comment!?! :( If I didn't have a tracker embedded into my page, I would think that no one reads it and might stop posting. *hint hint* Yes, please comment so I know you are all alive! :) AND... if you have a blog, give me the link and I will comment on yours!!

Now, onto today's topic: facebook friends. Some people have 100 or less, some have over 1,000. But how well do we really know all of our facebook friends? Most of us are 'friends' with them because we at one point in our lives were actually friends, but have since gone our separate ways and may not make contact for years at a time now. I know a lot of people who "facebook purge" every now and then and delete a huge chunk of their friends because they haven't talked with them in over a year, etc. I totally understand that, yet I cannot will myself to actually do that... and this is why.

Somehow, for reasons I do not know, I always have a few random run-ins/"reconnections" each year. Someone who is on my friend list whom I barely know will randomly reappear in my life. I had a friend from middle school whom I had not seen since 2000, and found out she had moved to L.A. So when I moved to L.A., we actually met up. I never thought I'd actually see her again, but because I didn't delete her, we did! Exact same scenario but with a friend from high school, also.

I've gotten work a couple of times from friends I went to school with (and haven't seen since) who knew I did sound and knew of someone who needed a sound person. Had I deleted them... no work! Also, there have been instances where I never thought I'd see the person again and he/she ends up in the same complex or ward! That has been the latest.

I have been 'facebook friends' with an old friend's ex-boyfriend ever since they dated... 3 years ago. I just never got around to deleting him, but as it turns out, it's a good thing I didn't because he just moved into my ward! I just can't make myself delete people! But in my defense, I *do* know all but about 3 on my list. And those few whom I don't actually know are for networking purposes. They work in film, we have about 30 friends in common, and they want to keep me on the back burner for the next time they need a sound person. I'm okay with accepting adds for work possibilities!

Anyway, this is a very random post of strange thoughts of mine that I happened to write out. Enjoy.
