Perfume and Valium

I have been accused of not being in touch with my feelings.  You might expect this from such a beastly character.  I've come to find out it's not true.  Maybe that was the case a number of years ago but not now.  I am actually quite in touch with them.  I don't know when the change occurred.  I'm glad to know the truth of it and not believe someone else's opinion.

Turns out I'm a bit of a romantic too.  I always considered myself pragmatic in the ways of love.  And this is true at the beginning but after my heart is in it, I do turn into a sap.  It took some insight from a friend for me to realize this.  I still hate Valentines Day and I do things on my own terms.  That's just my way.

Most of you know I'm a Black Crowes fan so I thought I'd share some lyrics with you.

and how you made this cold boy smile
from the storm you took me weathered weary & tired
how you showed me the lessons of simple things
how love made this cold boy sing

Some say that love is the poor walk of life
Some say that love is the pain of being alive
Some say there's nothing on the other side
Some trade their souls for just a good time

My sentiments exactly and a tall order to fill.  It will be tough to make this cold beast smile.  Unless you have candy, that almost always works.
