Fulmer" Subject: ET: Compromise of the MTV stations Ok, After switching between VH1 and MTV for the past half hour...I've come to the conclusion that they should like do something TOGETHER and like even if it's putting a small caption of the other while they play their video...That way then you can know if a Better video is on. I mean...If WWSYS is on one and YWMFM or FG is on the other...WHICH ARE YA GONNA PICK? :) Now, I had the pleasant(sarcasm) chance to decide between Natalie Merchant and Madonna...That was easy...NOT!! Well, my roomie picked out the proper video cuz even though Madonna's from his home state of Michigan, he prefers Natalie better...so the choice was made but I'm like switching back and forth because who knows WHEN a better video is coming on and I'd be soooo mad if I missed an Aerosmith "I don't wanna miss a thing" or a Natalie Imbruglia "Torn" video while a semi-good video like say Iris(Goo Goo Dolls) or "One Week" by Bare Naked Ladies was on...or even if both good videos are on at the same time...Maybe it's just me but as Castor Troy(with Sean Archer's face) says in "Face Off"..."Oooh! What a predicament!!!" So, I say to the MTV stations...One of you...be the one to play the GOOD videos and the other one play crappy videos and stuff I'd never watch...so then I can just jam the channel up and down keys and stay on that station...Hey, I don't think I'd care if they played "I don't wanna miss a thing" by Aerosmith 24/7...Well, that's enough of my little babbling escapade...Have a Fantastic Day everybody! :=) Seth Fulmer mailto:usfulmer@mcs.drexel.edu mailto:st96t879@post.drexel.edu mailto:kaosking@voicenet.com webpages: http://www.voicenet.com/~kaosking Cool Quotes and stuff :) "You're a big fish in a small town bowl...You're a legend in your own mind..." - -Patty Scoboria - "Movin' on" ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 20 Oct 1998 16:03:02 -0500 From: Summer Burton Subject: ET: My CD story Yay... this was compiled from Joni Mitchell's live album "Miles Of Aisles" - *The last time I saw Richard* was right after the heartbreak of me and *Carey*'s love affair. Richard and I always seem to run into eachother at *Peoples' Parties" and this was the same. Talking by Mrs. Craig's *Cactus Tree*, I could FEEL the spikes burning into me, even though I was several feet away from it. "*All I Want is you back" he said, and the spikes burned deeper. I loved him, but I couldn't stand the thought of being with him agian. "*Love or money*, it's all the same to you. You would give me up agian. You gave me up for a JOB! I had my heartbroken by you and then..." - I paused. I couldn't take this anymore. I walked by Mrs. Craig's dog *Jericho* and I recalled the FIRST time I saw Richard, in my parents picture album. Between the section on Woodstock (my parents really are hippies) and the trip to Europe, there were several pictures of my mom's old best friend Jenny, "*A woman of heart and mind*" they always said of her, and her baby. Richard. My age. Everyone assumed we would be together and get married, and we almost did, at 17. But he passed me up for a job in another city, where he just rode around town in a *big yellow taxi*, and according to him later, thought about me and dreamt about me and... He put it beautifully - "I have *a case of you*", he said. When he left I was *blue*, but I finally got out of it when I met Carey. It was fun and exciting, he made my knees weak and my heart beat. HE said things like "you're beautiful" and whenever he turned on the radio he sang "*you turn me on, I'm a radio*". We spent long hours in our '*Rainy Night House*' - his apartment in New York. We stayed there more and more often, and I ran into Richard often, him with the sad eyes. I saw *both sides now*, because suddenly I felt as if I was the one who had broken HIS heart. It was like a *circle game* with no end, and I felt that even more when Carey left me. We had one last night, we slept curled up together on the kitchen floor with strawberries, tears and the fire roaring. He wrote me a poem "*Cold Blue Steel And Sweet Fire" and left me in the morning. But that's all over now and now it's Richard standing over there by the cactus calling to me as I walk away "I can make you feel *real good for free*."... A typical cheesy line from him, but it made me pause. And when I looked back at Richard I realized that he had never really wanted to leave me, he had only wanted me to feel good for awhile. It wasn't because of a job, it was because Richard never made my heart beat faster like Carey did, and he knew it. He needed to experience something else and so did I... But I realized then, looking at him, that I did love him. And he loved me. It wasn't the kind of fun crazy affair that Carey and I had - I'll always treasure that time for what it was. But what Richard and I had went back into our souls. It was calm. It was a peaceful Joni Mitchell song, it was drizzling rain, it was LOVE. I went back to him and I left the cactus spikes far away as I held him tight and it faded to blue. - -- Love, Summer summie@bonbon.net http://www.bga.com/~melissab "I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
