Well, it took 21 months to get here, but I made it. I've been trying to figure out what to say on this occasion, and was inspired by RocketmanTex's 1000th post. Back in 1981, I had graduated from high school and was in college for the first time. Things were not going well. I was 18, living with a girl in a really bad relationship, and broke. I was expirimenting with different drugs and drinking way too much. I really was at a serious crossroad of my life. Then I heard a song that changed my life. Now I know many of you may say how corny this sounds, but it happened. Today I am happily married for 14 years, have three wonderful kids, a great job, and am a member of the best damn internet community on the planet! I'm not saying all of this happened as a result of this one song. But to this day, in times of trouble, I reflect back on the words to this song and realize that I can conquer any obstacles life may throw at me. I hope this helps just one teenager out there. Thank you Billy Squier. From his "Don't Say No" album: NOBODY KNOWS I may get around...I may laugh alot... Now you'd think that I'd be happy with the life I got Nobody knows...nobody sees Ain't nobody really knows the inner side o'me... I may seem secure...I could have it made... You might think you see a lucky man who made the grade Nobody knows what dreams I see Ain't nobody really sure just who they wanna be... But everybody has a place and time... A chance to live...a need to find We all got somethin' that we care about I propose you find it out... It's not in a book...or a magazine... Or the stars who guide our fortunes on the silver screen Nobody knows...it's up to me Ain't nobody who can say it like it outght to be... I see my future at the rainbow's end Happy hours...timeless friends And if I ever chance to find my way Rest assured...I will stay... You may see your life as a compromise You may live to find the promise dancin' in your eyes Nobody knows...it's meant to be... Let the magic of the moment say it all to me ------------------ Behad Sergeant at Arms of the Clutch BBS
