Afghan Whigs - Gentlemen

i have to say, Gentlemen by the whigs is one of my personal faves. the altimate breakup album i think.

music always helps, there's always someone who knew just how you feel and wrote a song about it (like "broken heart" by the spiritualized). i'd also recommand Doves ("sea song", "satellites"), i think they have the same epic, warm sound that MMJ have.

wish you Love and all the best
take care

Right now I'm always thinking it was a good thing she broke up with me, 'cuz I'm really creative at the moment. I've started painting, I'm drawing, I'm writing a lot of songs...

[wordawg]

It's good to hear that O.
Keep it going.

Okay, glad to hear you're getting over it O.

But if you still feel some depri mood is coming up and you don't know what music or song you should play, well I've always thought that "From the edge of the deep green sea" or "apart" by the Cure fetches the mood of lost love perfect.

It almost makes me cry while I didn't broke up with my girlfriend.  Moving.

Just for a second I thought you were going to say "It's almost a shame I didn't break up with my girlfriend".  ;)

Ouch!

[Oz]

Nah, that was just a lousy joke.

[Oz]

But still: Ouch. Fuck.

[lfish]

No Prob man.

A lousy joke once and a while is appreciated over here.

I know how you feel, O, cuz exactly the same sort of thing happened to me just before christmas, and i also know that it doesn't really matter what anyone else says cuz you're still gonna feel a bit shit. But eventually you'll start seeing other people and you'll wonder what you ever saw in her in the first place.

I also felt that we couldn't really speak in an adult way, so maybe it was all for the best... But then again, if we had worked on that, I think we could have made it. And now I wanna talk to her, but she doesn't want to. So it's acceptance on one hand, frustration on the other. And I still have my breakdowns. But you know... People caring, asking me how I am, stuff like that, it helps a lot.

Oh, if I start to sound like a teenager, tell me. She was my first love and all, so it's really a bit childish. Anyway. Thanks for asking.

Hoo boy O--I remember the first one to this day and I definitely relate to not being able to speak in an adult way together.  I still believe if there wasn't such an a-hole factor in me back then I would have married that beautiful person who I lost some time ago.  The first loss is definitely the most crushing and painful.  I feel for you.  Try to take some solace in the fact that anything can happen in this life--you may someone even better....

Update me O.
How goes it, pal?
Any easier?

[Oz]

I thought it was getting really better, until she updated her weblog yesterday and I was foolish enough to read it. Reading about how she's going on with her life, well... it sucks. But like I said, I'm painting, photographing, playing music. And I hardly ever cry about her anymore. So there's some progression. Some.

[Oz]

Okay, a quick update: She already has a new boyfriend. I got totally wrecked when I heard that, as you can imagine. Then again, I met a girl as well, with whom things seem to be going in the right direction. So we're both in rebound, I suppose.

[Oz]

That was just for those who want to stay in touch. :)

[lfish]

Je laat er ook geen gras over groeien O?  ;)


Go all the way brother!

[Oz]

I have to, I'm afraid. Right now, I'm haunted by visions of her laying in bed with another guy. The only way to get rid of that, is getting someone else in my bed, too.

[lfish]

That almost sounds like a pervert talking?


Kidding,

I wish you all the best and remember always brush your teeth before the ...

[wordawg]

Can't think of anything to say O, but I'm glad you kept us up to date.  Lot of good feelings towards you from this forum.

weather the storm, brother...just ride it on out. soon enough the sun will poke through.
