Highlights from the soundtrack of my life.

ALMOST Forgotten Tune #77 + Random Songs in My YouTube Feed #29

I posted the song on Facebook on November 30 and I know I have posted it before either on my blog, on Twitter, or on Facebook. It makes me cry so much because having MS is different from quadriplegia but as time passes, I am finding that maybe it’s not so different. It’s crazy how much you can miss going out to eat like in the video without so much help! I think I may need a minute to compose myself.

ALMOST Forgotten Tune #74+ Random Songs in My YouTube Feed #26

To round out the trio of movies set to songs I posted this one on November 19. It was the song that was the last song I sing in public with a microphone, on purpose. It was at my cousin Al’s Quince. This one owas a little bit later than the other two but I sang it with Jimmy playing the guitar and Luis playing the drums.

“… Details Can Somehow Slip Your Mind…”

I watched Hope Floats yesterday because I was by myself and it was free OnDemand. That movie came out in 1999 and was during the time I had a brief country music kick. Hearing some of the songs from that movie, Took me way back to my Junior and Senior years of high school and waiting tables at Lonestar Steakhouse and Saloon. I had to pause the movie to listen to this song:

I know that I’ve referenced this song a few times in my blog somewhere but this is a crystal clear memory I have of walking. That restaurant is no longer a Lonestar but rather an IHOP now.

I know that I was not diagnosed with MS until I was 18 and I walked, ran, and played sports in Grade and high school; but now when I think about it, I can’t remember having control over my body and on days like today with the rain, I can’t remember my body NOT hurting. Those details have somehow slipped my mind.

i’ve listened to this song over and over probably about six times as Sean made us breakfast. I can clearly see in my mind walking from the bar to my tables across the restaurant. I had two bottles of beer intertwined in my fingers of one hand and. I held the handles of two chilled mugs in the other.

I can see everything crystal clearly in my mind down to how comfortable my jeans were that I wore to work. For a while, I had to wear my knee brace after ACL reconstruction surgery so it ripped the inside of my right knee but I didn’t care because the jeans were so comfortable. I wore them anyway.

That summer after high school graduation and before I started college at WMU, is the last time I can clearly remember walking. I remember that I really liked this song and I thought back then that my life would be so much easier than it is now.

Random Songs in My YouTube Feed #21

I searched all the way back to October 1, 2019 in my Facebook thread. I don’t think I have posted this song on my blog that I posted on Facebook on October 2. I guess I just am going to have to hire a blog manager because I think the numbers may be a little off.

Oh wait, you have to pay that person! Never mind. I will just have to check it out another day. This is such a great song!:


ALMOST Forgotten Tune #69 + Random Songs in My YouTube Feed #20

Just playing catch-up:

So, I know that I was posting tunes on my Facebook feed because I didn’t want to forget them because I usually see them in the middle of the night when I’m having difficulty sleeping. Because of all the Christmas festivities, I wasn’t posting these random songs that showed up in my YouTube feed on my blog but I was still posting them on my Facebook feed so as not to forget. Just playing catch-up! I seriously DID almost forget about this one! Ah, a middle school gem, for sure! I will continue to look head which song was the last one I posted but, either way, it’s a GREAT listen:
