Happy Halloween!

I know it's a bit late but I thought I'd get it out anyway. Over here in England, it's not that big a deal but I'm into my horror stories and dark twisty stuff so I like it :-D

I'm busy with work which means I don't have time to update. And this time around - it's busy in a no distractions allowed kinda way. After work is out of the question as I spend my evenings unwinding and catching up on my tv shows. I don't even like to talk to people on the phone! As usual my weekends are taken up by social butterfly demands, so I still dont have time to update.

Every now and then ofcourse, I get inspired and write. This song flashed on my ipod today at work and I thought it was very fitting. It's one of my favourite Joe songs. I remember having this conversation with one of my male friends after listening to it (on constant repeat)one night. I stated that I would love to meet some guy who could understand the meaning and express the sentiments behind that song to me. To my surprise, he actually suggested one of his friends who would fit the bill and gave me his number (after checking with him ofcourse). This was the night before valentine's day at about 3am. My friend said the guy would still be awake, so I called.

Mr Guy was quite friendly so the conversation wasn't too awkward. He asked (I asked?) if I had any plans for valentines day and I said no. As he didn't either, we agreed to meet up for dinner. As first dates go, it was nice. I had a really good time and we gelled. Things didn't quite work out in that sense but we became good friends in the end. Sigh ... I miss being young and carefree enough to do random shit like this.

Anyways the song is still beautiful and I still wish I could find a guy that wants to say all this to me.

Joe - I Wanna Know.





It's amazing how you knock me off my feet, hmm
Everytime you come around me I get weak, oh yeah
Nobody ever made me feel this way, oh
You kiss my lips and then you take my breath away
So I wanna know

I wanna know what turns you on
So I can be all that and more
I'd like to know what makes you cry
So I can be the one who always makes you smile

Girl he never understood what you were worth, hmm no
And he never took the time to make it work
(You deserve more loving, girl)
Baby I'm the type of man to show concern, yes I do, oh
Anyway that I can please you let me learn
So I wanna know

Tell me what I gotta do to please you
Baby anything you say I'll do
Cause I only wanna make you happy
From the bottom of my heart, it's true

I wish that I could take a journey through your mind, alright
And find emotions that you always try to hide babe, oh
I do believe that there's a love you wanna share, oh, oh
I'll take good care of you lady, have no fear, oh
So I wanna know

ouch
hmmm
i feel you

all of it
not just half of it
but every line

don't we wish

i think it takes a certain kind of man to be that vunerable becuz it does require them to let go of their ego and admit that they don't know it all
