October
And the trees are stripped bare
Of all they wear
What do I care?

October
And kingdoms rise
And kingdoms fall
But you go on and on

Due to the climate of political correctness now pervading America,Kentuckians, Tennesseans and West Virginians will no longer be referred to as "HILLBILLIES".

We always hear " the rules "
From the female side.
Now here are the rules from the male side.

These are our rules!
Please note.. these are all numbered "1 "
ON PURPOSE!
1. Men are NOT mind readers.

1. Learn to work the toilet seat.
You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down.
We need it up, you need it down.
You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.

1. Sunday sports It's like the full moon
or the changing of the tides.
Let it be.

1. Crying is blackmail.

1. Ask for what you want.
Let us be clear on this one:
Subtle hints do not work!
Strong hints do not work!
Obvious hints do not work!
Just say it!

1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.

1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do.
Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.

1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument.
In fact, all comments become Null and void after 7 Days.

1. If you think you're fat, you probably are.
Don't ask us.

1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one

1. You can either ask us to do something
Or tell us how you want it done.
Not both.
If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.

1. Whenever possible, Please say whatever you have to say during commercials..

1. Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we.

1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings.
Peach, for example, is a fruit, not A color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.

1. If it itches, it will be scratched.
We do that.

1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," We will act like nothing's wrong.
We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.

1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, Expect an answer you don't want to hear.

1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine... Really .

1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as baseball
or golf.

1. You have enough clothes.

1. You have too many shoes.

1. I am in shape. Round IS a shape!

1. Thank you for reading this.
Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight;

But did you know men really don't mind that? It's like camping.

Rainy day that chills the skin
The two of us, not believing in this separation
The radio was playing inside the car

Saying goodbye is meaningless
If we're able to meet again someday
Don't you think it'll be a beautiful thing?

Are you able to hear my voice?
1 o'clock at night, on heart station
A dial that doesn't need tuning
A secret hertz
Are you receiving the frequencies of my heart?
Heart station of sinners
A secret only God knows
I miss you...

The more I think I need to forget
The more these thoughts remain

Even if we are apart
You are right here
In the middle of my heart

I thought I heard your voice
1 o'clock at night, on heart station
Two pulses, always beating somewhere
Are you receiving the frequencies of my heart?
Heart station of lovers
We're receiving a request again tonight
"I Love You"

Are you able to hear my voice?
1 o'clock at night, on heart station
A secret hertz that still connects us
Are you receiving the frequencies of my heart?
Heart station of sinners
A secret only God knows

i'm writing this because i have no other way off "expressing' what i feel, no one to talk to. no one who will understand. today 2 of my friends had their 3rd baby. a little girl. i was there at the hopital for a little while, but left. had to leave because i kept having all these visions of what it would be like for me be there with my wife. and then the reality of the fact that i will never be there squezzes my heart so tightly.
i'm so alone in this world. never had anyone love me, not even for a moment. it seems i'm doomed to spend my life being the living embodiment of the thing called "envy". always jealous of others for what they have, that i can't. so angry that i can't stand to be in the company of people.
