You Are Transparent and Real |
 You are a somewhat shy person. You often feel overwhelmed by the chaotic world around you. You have a gentle touch with others. You try to be subtle and compassionate in all your actions. You are very loyal. Once you find something (or someone) you love, you stick with it. You are a bit of a skeptic. You avoid fads and new fangled ideas. You're a bit old fashioned that way. |
That vid had the best sound quality; this one is from a live performance.
You know how certain songs remind you of places and/or people? This tune reminds me of a lovely young lady I dated many years ago. It was "our song". Regrettably, I was a little too wild for her. -sigh- I run into her sister now and then around town and she says her sister asks about me when they see each other. It always makes me think "what could've been" and how my life would have been different now. (perhaps not for the better, but it WOULD have been different, I'm sure)
When I see one of my aunts, she almost always reminds me about something I said before my first (blind) date with the girl. "Is she a good girl?" asked my aunt.
"I hope not." I told her.
"Not your grandma's phone book"
This link was posted in a political forum I sometimes frequent and people got all up in arms over the supposed invasion of privacy, but after visiting I saw much of the information was wrong and other had to have been gleaned from online public records.
For example, it lists my age as several years older than I am and takes about fifteen years off the length of time at my current residence. Not only does it get the time wrong, it lists my house value at 1 million dollars.
I wish. (it also says my neighborhood is "under average", which is correct, but what am I doing in a mansion in a lower middle class neighborhood?
The most annoying thing about my personal info on the site is the list of interests. Some things are true and must have been shared from websites I've joined and surveys I've taken. It has a lot wrong, such as I like country music and that I own dogs, among other erroneous "facts". It also under-represents my education level.
I checked several members of my family, and found the same pattern of wrong information. I also plugged in the names of a few of my online friends and found what I think are errors. Under the photos tab I did see my sister's picture, but there are no photos of me online, at least none that are connected with my "real name".
Of course, to get the sensitive data such as credit reports and criminal background, you'll have to pay. If they get the simple stuff wrong, it makes me wonder about the validity of those "private" things.

You may remember this tune from "Silence of the Lambs" in the Buffalo Bill scene where he dresses up in drag and dances in front of his video camera.

Take your brain out of the jar

There's not a lot of people who play, but *most* of us that do are some brainy folks!
*most* excludes me. I win when no one else plays. -sigh-
