They call him KID ROCK

So, Chris and I went to a Kid Rock concert last night. Can you believe it a Kid Rock concert. It was alot of fun. Rev. Run from Run DMC was there. He was awesome. The show was called the Rock-N-Roll revival. His last album was called 'Rock-N-Roll Jesus' There was a full crowd. It was not a show for kids but believe it or not I saw several children there. I think the youngest I saw was about 5 years old. I couldn't believe it. I mean before we even got the tickets I knew what to expect. There would be drinking, there would be potty mouths, there would be half dressed women, there would be all that goes along with the image of Kid Rock. I was really surprise that I did see any women flashing. I will say the cursing didn't bother me as much as I thought that it would. However, there was alot of bad words. I don't think I have ever heard that may bad words in a three hour block. Except when Danielle was around.(Clint's ex-wife, thats another story)

I am a fan of only some of Kid Rock's work. I like his country softer side. I like songs like Picture, Cold and Empty, and Only God Knows Why. I do enjoy some of his more upbeat stuff like Cowboy. However, I hadn't really listened to his new album Rock n Roll Jesus. However, I didn't listen to it this weekend, and I have to say there is a couple of songs that I really enjoyed.

There was one song that really got to me. You know he writes his own stuff. I really dig the lyrics to this song. I really think it has a message. The only problem is when he sings it he puts the GD word. I have taken it away so that everyone including myself could read and really give some thought to the message. Well done Kid Rock. The song is titled 'Amen'

Amen

It's another night in hell

Another child won't live to tell

Can you imagine what it's like to starve to death

And as we sit free and well

Another soldier has to yell

Tell my wife and children I love them in his last breath

C'mon now amen, amen, amen

Habitual offenders, scumbag lawyers with agendas

I'll tell you sometimes people I don't know what's worse

Natural disasters or these wolves in sheep clothes pastors

Now I'm scared to send my children to church

And how can we seek salvation when our nations race relations

Got me feeling guilty of being white

But faith in human nature, our creator and our savior, I'm no saint

But I believe in what is right

C'mon now amen, amen

I said amen, amen

Stop pointing fingers and take some blame,

Pull your future away from the flame

Open up your mind and start to live

Stop short changing your neighbors

Living off hand outs and favors, and maybe

Give a little bit more than you got to give

Simplify, testify, identify, rectify

And if I get high stop being so uptight

It's only human nature and I am not a stranger

So baby won't you stay with me tonight

Rant Of Nothingness

Nerves!

Today I am feeling like a failure at being a wife and mother.
So, if you don't feel like reading a rant of nothingness I understand.


I feel like I am on my last nerve.
I am tired. I am tired of the day to day rut.
I am tired of my childrens rooms not being clean.
I am tired of the laudry not being done.
I am tired of my car not being cleaned out.
I am tired of my dresser not being how I want it.
I am tired of my tiny bathroom off my bedroom not being clean.
I am tired of my fridge not being cleaned out.
I am tired of trying to come up with a plan to get it all done.
I am tired of writing lists to get it done.
I am tired of fighting with my family for help to get it done.
I am tired of the shelf not being up in the girls room.
I am tired of the bathroom not being finished.
I am MOST TIRED of being the only one who seems to care about these things.

I am sick of being asked what I'm doing all day.
I am sick of being told all I do is sit on my rump all day at work.
I am sick of being told I don't do enough.
I am sick of someone keeping a tally of my movements when they sure don't take a correct tally of themselves.
I am sick of having to be sure not to rock the boat.
I am sick of trying to be everything and then falling short everytime.
I am so SICK & TIRED of the same conversation over and over where there is no resolve.


I love my husband I really do, let me rephrase. If I didn't love my husband I wouldn't still be here cause it's the only thing that keeps me here.

But sometimes..... I dream of being gone.
I dream of a place where all is fair.
I dream of a place where someone notices me.
I dream of a place where the man that I love can realize all that I do and am.
I dream of a place where people see that I share everything that I have with everyone that I love with not expectation of getting a share of what they have.
I dream of a place where a husband does nice things for his family just because.
I dream of a place where someone could just walk a mile in my shoes and then explain to me how to do it.
I dream of a place and time where I have it all figured out and I am really happy.


Happy is something I gave up on a long time ago. I have settled for even for a long time.

Maybe tomorrow will be a better day. I don't think so but maybe.
