Have Cheese Will Whine

I am a dry Quirky.

I don't drink red wine, white wine, dry wines, or even wet wines.

But every once in a while I will indulge a good whine.

That "while" was on Friday.

Now for the few men who read my blog? Don't read any further. It's gonna get messy. Real messy.

Unless you like and can appreciate an emotional, weeping, whining woman, click away!

*hiccup*

Actually, I do not want to expound on the reasons why I was feeling so emotional. It was what it was. It might have been because I had only gotten four hours of sleep the night before. It might have been because I forgot to take my anti-depressant. It might have been because I want to be a vampire. It might have been because I want a werewolf and a vampire to fight over me. It might have been because Oprah is quitting her show. It might have been because I couldn't find any Law and Order episodes on television. It might have been because I couldn't find my favorite white tee-shirt. Or maybe it was because they are already playing Christmas music on a radio station, which is so, so wrong!

Or it might have been because when I woke up Friday morning there was NO diet Dr. Pepper in the house. How on earth did I let that happen?

So what did I do? That's right I fired up the computer. I took refuge in the internet. I've made music playlists at website: playlist.com. Once again, my PC completes me. Is that a bad thing? Wait. Don't answer that. I don't want it to be wrong. Because if loving the web is wrong? Then I don't wanna be right.

You all know that I absolutely LOVE music. Especially rock music.

But once in awhile when I am feeling weepy and whiny I need cheese. As in cheesy love songs.

These are the ten songs I could not stop listening to in a cathartic effort that was not successful. Unfortunately.

1. Seasons in the Sun by Westlife. I even liked the original by Terry Jacks, but these Westlife guys are hot and Terry Jacks? Not so much.


2. Sukiyaki by 4PM "For Positive Music." It's all because of you, I'm feeling sad and blue." It's all because of this line that made me want to hear this song over and over again. Oh, and take note: great lyrics does not a love song make. In fact the more trite, the better.


3. Wind Beneath My Wings by Bette Midler. First of all the Divine Miss M has a set of pipes on her unlike any other. She has a fantastic singing voice. And yes, this song always gets my tears flowing easily. It's an emotional spigot. I want her on my emotional wall. I need her on my emotional wall. I cried some more.


4. Always by Atlantic Starr. I know it's cheesy, but I like this sweet love song. It just makes my heart start dripping every time I hear the song. A good heart drip can be quite cleansing and refreshing. It's a form of slow emotional torture. Always a good trait of a cheesy love song.


5. Time, Love, and Tenderness by Michael Bolton. The ONLY Michael Bolton song I can stand to listen to. He's a screamer. I never knew you could scream a sweet soft ballad. Mr. Bolton found a way. "When love puts your through the fire, when love puts you through the test, nothing heals a broken heart like Time, Love, and Tenderness!" Yeah. Scream it Michael.


6. The Rose by Westlife. I know, I know. I was just complimenting the Divine Miss M on her pipes, but the guys from Westlife? (look at number one again, if you don't remember.) They're hot. And Miss M? She's not. At least not for me. I don't play on that team. *smile*


7. Forever and For Always by Shania Twain. No this is NOT a country song, at least not in my opinion. This was one of her crossover songs from Country to Pop. I probably would not have heard it, if it weren't for that. And now? This song makes me weep because she and her love Mutt Lange are separated and divorcing. I guess she's not keeping him forever and for always. I wouldn't either, if he had cheated on me. And why did he cheat on her? She's gawgeous! That wasn't enough for him? Yeesh.


8. Baby, What A Big Surprise by Chicago. Now this is not a cheesy love song. It's a classic rock love song. Much more up my alley. What a big surprise, eh? Ha! Obviously pun intended.


9. Always Be My Baby by David Cook. Dang! This guy has one SEXY voice. rrrRRRrrr! Gives me shivers. If I were twenty years younger, and not married, and had one more boob? Oh yeah baby, I'd be ALL over that!


10. Across the Universe by Rufus Wainwright. I know it's a John Lennon cover, but I like Rufus's voice better than John Lennon's. *gasp* A musical sacrilege! I wonder how many followers I will lose for admitting such a personal opinion. After all, he was one of The Beatles! *yawn* Now this is not a typical cheesy love song, but I can listen to this song and never get sick of it. It touches a whimsical chord within my twisted psyche. And yes, I am twisted in a loony sort of way.

So there you have it. Even a rocker Mama like myself needs a good cheesy love song diversion every once in awhile.

Whines can be good for your emotional health and well-being.

And now excuse me while I go to my happy place.

It's been awhile since I've been there.

I like my happy place.

Lots of cowbell.



B.S. No cheese was harmed during the production of this post and thankfully, Quirky finally got over it. Now? It's time to rock!
