How awful am I? I cannot stand that song. It makes me cringe whenever I hear it.

We currently have a pure bred dog, as does my mother and my father. I don't think I'll buy a pure bred for a breeder again. I grew up w/ lab/shepard mixes and I think that mixes have the best temperment and, it seems, that they don't have as many health issues as pure breed dogs do. Example, in the last year my extended family has lost 3 pure breeds due to illness that is common w/ their breed (goldens and shepards). It's strange but there seems to be something really great about the mutts of the world! I don't have a problem rescuing a pure breed but don't think I'd buy one from a breeder again (oh, and our dane has wobblers - hits danes, horses and older dobermans).

I can't stand it either. Dude you're gettin' scammed. He'll just return them tomorrow after she's dead. I'm not really thinking that but the sappiness gets to me, so I act like a jackhole. <img alt="cool.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/cool.gif">

Sorry to hear that. My condolences. 
Yea, that's a tough one for me, too. They played that at my buddy's funeral. Brutal. 
That is a shame. Again, my condolences. 
The Akron Aeros field (Canal Park Stadium) has seating in right field. I don't think there's any in center or left, though.

Noni: If you have some idea about what you would like, you can search for breeds on petfinder.org. Found 2 of our 3 pets (both from shelters) there.

Yipee its Friday! 
Im procrastinating more so than normal. I have more work to do today than I did all week, WTF?! 
Didnt make it to the gym yesterday. Just felt kinda shitty physicaly and mentaly. Will try today. This week hasnt been good for me exercise and eating wise. 
My grandpa ( who was already in the hospital since Wednesday evening due to shortness of breath and chest pains ) goes for his first radiation treament today. 
Thoughts and prayers out to Colleen and PTom's family and friends QOD Right now nothing comes to mind as being overly sad in the song department. I remember crying to songs after my ex-girlfriend and I broke up. They were songs that we claimed as our songs. 
Songs that make me happy, U2 songs as they make me thing of a certain Greek goddess. Maroon5 songs as my favorite French teacher comes to mind <img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif"> The them song from Weird Science makes me smile too <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif">

I love my pound puppy and my purebread.

KP · Jan 18, 2008

songs that moves me...not so much to tears, but it hits home when I hear it: 
"I'll Be" - Edwin McCain, was the song Tonya and I had our first dance to. Not the album version but a great acoustic version with Warren Haynes from the "Warren Haynes Christmas Jam 1999 Wintertime Blues" CD 
"Steady As We Go" - Dave Matthews Band, read the lyrics <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"> 
"Blue Sky" - Allman Brothers Band, matron of honor quoted some of the lyrics during her toast and I always think of Tonya when I hear it: You're my blue sky, you're my sunny day. 
Lord, you know it makes me high when you turn your love my way, 
Turn your love my way, yeah. 
yeah, I'm a sap.

How can I forget the most obvious answer to my own QOD? Where the Streets Have No Name makes me spontaneously cry no matter where I hear it -- the car, Spinning class, on a run, in concert in the middle of Madison Square Garden, etc. It was playing as I crossed the finish line of the 2005 San Diego Rock & Roll Marathon, so every time I hear it I am transported to that last 1/10th of a mile where I heard it, knew I was going to finish, and thought, "Bono is pulling me to the finish line!!!" Total basket case, but they are tears of pure joy and pride.

govandals · Jan 18, 2008

Hi all. 
Just joined in, so I'm not caught up... 
I can, however, answer the QOD -- 
Songs that make me (almost) cry -- 
Cats in the Cradle - Harry Chapin 
I Am -- Train 
Songs that make me happy -- TONS of them! Here's a few: 
The Boxer - Carbon Leaf 
Baker Street - Gerry Rafferty 
25 or 6 to 4 - Chicago 
Saturday in the Park - Chicago

Next time I hear the Rocky theme song, ill think of Moe and Moon as that was the song playing as we started to run in Philly <img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif">

HighHeat · Jan 18, 2008

Really? I'm the only one who thinks this one has tear-jerker potential (almost <img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif"> ) ?

Maples · Jan 18, 2008

running through your office at lunchtime saying hello! *zzooooooooooom* <img alt="wave.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/wave.gif">

Beaker · Jan 18, 2008

Oh, I forgot one of my ultimate tear jerkers. Dante's Prayer by Lorenna McKinnet. DH loves this song and we played it at our wedding, as a way to honor our mothers. It was beautiful, the dance floor was packed, we were both all welled up as well as many of our family members. But it was a beautiful tribute in my opinion. Dante's Prayer lyrics When the dark wood fell before me 
And all the paths were overgrown 
When the priests of pride say there is no other way 
I tilled the sorrows of stone 
I did not believe because I could not see 
Though you came to me in the night 
When the dawn seemed forever lost 
You showed me your love in the light of the stars 
Cast your eyes on the ocean 
Cast your soul to the sea 
When the dark night seems endless 
Please remember me 
Then the mountain rose before me 
By the deep well of desire 
From the fountain of forgiveness 
Beyond the ice and fire 
Cast your eyes on the ocean 
Cast your soul to the sea 
When the dark night seems endless 
Please remember me 
Though we share this humble path, alone 
How fragile is the heart 
Oh give these clay feet wings to fly 
To touch the face of the stars 
Breathe life into this feeble heart 
Lift this mortal veil of fear 
Take these crumbled hopes, etched with tears 
We'll rise above these earthly cares 
Cast your eyes on the ocean 
Cast your soul to the sea 
When the dark night seems endless 
Please remember me 
Please remember me

1! But I think it's really only a problem for our bosses. <img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif">

Nettie · Jan 18, 2008

I don't know most of these songs y'all are naming. Maybe I'd be more likely to know them if I heard them. I can't think of any tearjerker songs for me, but I know I have them...my brain just doesn't work right!

Runnin-from-the-Law · Jan 18, 2008
