"Greedy Fly" by Bush, off their album "Razorblade Suitcase." This song came on for me today. I had forgotten how much I liked it. It's a reflection of how the lead singer, Gavin Rossdale, felt after being overwhelmed by the sudden success of their previous album "Sixteen Stone," which didn't do well for them domestically, but was huge when it hit North America.

Do yourself a favour: if you want to feel the impact of this song, listen to it and read the lyrics. But don't watch the video. Lol. It detracts from the beauty, in a very 80's way.

After another let down this weekend, I'm feeling this song. Whitesnake nailed the feeling of wanting to find true love and a faithful partner, and not...

I'm not wishing punishment or retaliation on anyone. I just think that if a member or a model decides to block you for no reason you can determine, you should be able to go back and remove your likes from their posts or sets. Or that it automatically removes it from all their posts. It doesn't seem right that they are benefiting from support

Yeah, yeah. It's been 16 months since I last shared a poem. Sorry, not sorry. 🤷♂️

I am in a spicy mood, so I thought I would share a sexual/intimate poem I wrote in my early 20's. Like, 25 years ago? I'm old. It follows a basic A/A, B/B pattern, and was deliberately made simple and to a 'in/out' pattern to help support

I decided that I wanted to share something on the GAUNTLET that I hadn't shared on SG girls previously, so I went with some older woodworking projects I created. I know that I already did the 7 assigned questions, and that the timeline is long since passed on the assignment, but I

This song and video came out in 1994 on the album "Weight," and it was my first exposure to Henry Rollins (with Rollins Band). It began my lifelong love of the man and his works. I've seen his Spoken Word 5 times, and introduced countless friends to him and his creations. I've read several of his books and poetry collections, watched innumerable interviews and...

5. A book or book series that you love.

At first, it was difficult to pick which book series I wanted to use for this entry on the Gauntlet. Between liking so many series, and some of the fantastic blogs other members have posted about series I love, I was having a real tough go of it. I considered "The Sword of

4. A video game that you have spent the most hours playing.

I had so many that I wanted to choose to answer for the Gauntlet, from games like X-Com, Quest for Glory, Fallout, Elder Scrolls, GTA, Mario Kart (or anything from the Mario universe), Golden Eye 64, and even Bubble Bobble. But, ultimately, there has been one game franchise that has

2. What is a piece of art that you have, or would love to have, hanging on your wall or sitting in your house?

I know this may seem an odd choice for the Gauntlet for a steadfast Atheist like myself, but I have my reasons. And no, it isn't for Adam's tiny unit. 😂

3. One of your comfort movies/series that you have seen more than 3 times.

I could have chosen quite a few movies or tv series to answer this question, and all would have been just as valid to me. I decided to go with a tv series, because they tend to last a long time to get through, so they feel more present in
