Sometimes you just have these feelings inside and you try your best to describe them but you can't. Then out of the blue you hear a song that describes them for you. I was listening to this cd someone left behind and there was this song that describes the feelings inside. Now I don't know what to do with them.

Eighty dollars round trip, anywhere you fly
Well, that sounds like a winner, but before I book the flight
Hey, talk me out of Tampa
Well, tell me 'bout New Orleans, just when is that Mardi Gras?
Well, then how about Chicago?
Is it cold there now or not?
Talk me out of Tampa

I mean surely there's a hurricane due to hit there any day
Won't that close the beaches and the airport?
Or maybe it's still way too hot or did I hear
Somewhere you stopped flyin' into that part of the country?
You can think of somethin' can't ya?
Just talk me out of Tampa

Between that first ride at Busch Gardens
And room eight, Bayside Motel
There's no way around the memories
Don't let me do this to myself
Talk me out of Tampa
I'd just wind up at his front door
He's still living there, I bet
Oh, but what if he's not there alone
There goes what pride that I've got left
Talk me out of Tampa, please

I mean surely there's a hurricane due to hit there any day
Won't that close the beaches and the airport?
Or maybe it's still way too hot or did I hear
Somewhere you stopped flyin' into that part of the country?
You can think of somethin' can't ya?
Just talk me out of Tampa

Put me somewhere, nowhere even close
To where I feel when my heart broke
Exactly six months ago this weekend
I just need to get away
Without your help, ma'am, I'm afraid
It wouldn't be a getaway at all
You can make up somethin' can't ya?
Just talk me out of Tampa
Eight dollars round trip, anywhere you fly

I guess it's because the truth,

is the hardest thing you'll ever face.

Because you can't change the truth,

in the slightest way. I tried.

So Ive been reading and seeing all over the internet guys talking about their towns gay pride parades and posting pics and stuff. So I thought I would take my camera and hop in my truck this past Saturday and go looking for my towns gay pride parade. I looked down main street which you can cover in about 2 minutes going the speed limit of 25 mph and didn't see any signs of a parade. Turned down some side streets and still no parade. I asked a couple old timers had they seen it and they said nope they ain't seen hide nor hair of any parade today. Ok that part about the old timers I made up cause if I asked if anybody seen a gay pride parade I'd be missing ever window in my truck right now. So I reckon I missed the parade by a hair but oh well maybe I'll catch it next year. Anyway while all y'all was out celebrating gay pride this is how my little town celebrated it.
