February 13th – He left me where I stood

It’s February 13th, 2024; This mid-tempo country rock asks why she can’t put him out of her mind because he’s the cheatin’ kind. This original song offers steel guitar and melodious guitar riffs. It’s a heartbreak song sung by a female. She says he chases after flames that burn him down. Why does he look to always be rejected?

Country song about cheating

Here’s the forty-fourth new music post for 2024, as I continually share a song a day to entertain and be consistent. This song has our female exploring the cheatin’ kind. It’s a story I know too well.

Why do people cheat?

Sadly, I grew up with a daddy who cheated on my mama. My Mom and Dad loved each other passionately and stayed married for 60 years! But my Dad was a “lady’s man” and my mama was my best friend, even as a child, I was her Personal Confidante (whether that was a good thing or not–many therapists have said that was not a good thing). I think I grew up fast because of Mom always confided in me. I was never raised on a schedule (like my cousins) because Mom would take me out late at night (from the time I can remember) to try to “find dad” or “catch him with another woman.” UGH Mom even sued Dad for divorce and left him once, but she called it off when he begged her to come back. To say I had a chaotic childhood would be putting it mildly.

The ripple effects of my parent’s dysfunctional relationship created upset within our little family, as well as established patterns with me. It took me years to unravel and do my best to understand why I later married the cheatin’ kind–twice! Now, people can cheat in lots of ways, not simply cheating in a sexual way with another person, but also with booze and drugs. Any kind of cheating is not good. It’s betrayal. If you love someone you do not cheat. To me, it’s that simple. If you do not love someone, you’re in lust, not love. Or you want to control another or not want to be alone. Whatever your reasons are, you are not in love if you lie and cheat.

So, why do people cheat? I think there are many reasons. But one of the biggest reasons I feel is because they aren’t happy and fulfilled within themselves. They have a hole inside that they feel only another can fill. They find someone who they think loves them, but then they hold that person up to an impossible standard. They often try to fix that other person and try to control them. That is not love. That is manipulation.

How love found me again

By the time I had been divorced twice and went through a LOT of individual and group therapy, I developed such a sense of self that I was determined to break this cycle. I would date someone and at the first hint of dishonesty, I would break it off–or they would dump me. I had no qualms. Ending a relationship (or getting dumped), even if I cared for the other person, got easier and easier. And I learned to live quite happily, alone. I found so much joy in traveling (for my work) and my two doggies, that I didn’t want a relationship again.

Me (several years after my second divorce and before I met Richard) at a family reunion with Dad and Mom (2001)

That’s when Richard came into my life. Two friends of mine wouldn’t take no for an answer and had me draft up an online bio and put it out there, but I was really not looking. I made up such a list of requirements for the next man, he almost had to ‘walk on water’ to be a fit for me! Haha! Looking back, it’s no wonder I only had three potential suitors–and that did NOT hurt my feelings! I was going to be super picky and NOT needy! Because I truly didn’t need anyone in my life! My life was full! I was happy and doing well on my own. I only joined the online dating app because those two other gals coerced me and had found love again on that site and I wanted to shut them up.

Thus, Richard was such a surprise. He was definitely a breath of fresh air. But he’s always known if he was ever in the slightest way tempted to be with anyone else, I would tell him, “Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on your way out”! And he has always known, I meant it.

Richard and me (about a year after we met)

It’s not that I am bitter. It’s because I am strong. I can live just as happily alone as with him–though I have loved him for more than twenty years. I would grieve if we ever parted, yes. But I would always want the best for us both. And I’m thankful to say, we’ve always been ‘in love’ all these years. We are yin and yang. We understand each other as much, I think, as any two people ever can. We complete each other’s sentences, and he often says out loud whatever I am thinking just seconds before I am going to speak. Before we fall asleep each night we thank God for the day and feel blessed to have each other. We know our relationship is rare. But it is a choice to ‘be in love’ and one each of us makes every day.

February 12th – Turn me loose

It’s February 12th, 2024; This fusion of country rock brings this original song to life with some strong guitar riffs and a mid-tempo beat. It’s a love song of a couple that meets in a grocery store and he sees her shopping for one. Another microwave entree in front of the TV. This is for someone who allows another to wind ’em up. This is for someone who isn’t sure they’ll ever love again. Eventually, we hear him sing “Wind me up to turn me loose to be with you and see what our love can do.”

Country rock song

Here’s the forty-third new music post for 2024, as I continually stay true to sending out a song a day and work on my consistency. This song talks about a couple getting to know each other to see if they might find love. Ice cream can sweeten a conversation. They looked into each others and felt something.

Not everything is as it appears

We enjoyed the Super Bowl football game last night, and we laughed out loud at several of the commercials–the biggest laughs came from the NFL Sunday Ticket commercial where the players flew around like different kinds of birds! What a hoot! And the Wicked commercial–oh my God! I can’t wait to see that movie! I’ve seen the stage play and loved it. I went with my daughter-in-law at the time (she’s passed now, so of course, I thought of her when I saw this ad). And my daughter and I were texting about which ads we liked most and she was super excited about Wicked. The great thing is that we’ll be able to go see that together when it comes out!

Unfortunately, Big Pharma still spoiled the evening a bit for me with a couple of their ads. I don’t want to see those–ever!!! Nor do I understand how Temu could run three big-budget ads. Do they really make that much money on their junk to be able to afford those? And that tagline? Shop like a billionaire? Who are they selling to–idiots? Billionaires buy quality merch, not junk! I thought THAT was outlandish! And while I loved the little snippet of Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool trailer, they said we had to go watch the full thing on YouTube or such. I noticed another movie ad did the same thing. Guess those movie studios didn’t want to spring for an ad as long as the Temu commercial! Ha!

It was an exciting game though with both teams ahead for some amount of time and then tied a couple of times to wind up going into overtime. My daughter and I were texting about the Ben Affleck and Matt Damon ad (yes, it was supposed to be J. Lo’s ad, but it turned out more to be about them). And I shed a tear for that ice skating girl and her grandpa in the Kia SUV commercial. That was sooo touching. Oh, and the Bud Lite commercial was much better than last year’s too (About time they figured that out).

Las Vegas

I was happy to see some of the sights around Las Vegas during last night’s Super Bowl game. Last time I was there I saw the Penn & Teller theatre at the Rio where I was attending an ASEA Conference in 2019. I had a blast and was so glad I went. And seeing the game last night brought back good memories of that trip. I’ve been to Vegas three times in my life, all for short trips of two or three days, so I’ve not seen it all by a long shot.

p.s. We talked a lot about our dear friends, Wanda & Jim–Wanda, who passed away (Crossed Over to the Grand Beyond) a few days ago, and her husband, Jim, (who has also passed), while we watched the game last night as they were both HUGE football fans. They used to get so wound up over the games that they wouldn’t watch with anyone, though in later years, Wanda and I used to text each other during the commercials (just like my daughter and I did last night). That made the night very special for me.

Wanda also loved Usher, so though Richard and I would have skipped the halftime show, we watched it for her. I had to ask my daughter who all the performers were he brought out with him, as I only barely recognized Alecia Keys and had no idea of the others. She knew them all except the last guitar girl that came out. Lil John, Will I Am, and Ludacris. We just aren’t into rap much at all. We haven’t even listened to Tom MacDonald (indie rapper) yet, who we only knew of thanks to Roseanne’s podcast.
