Yep every cat lover knows what this feels like. Cats are their own creatures and do what they want.
T.S. Eliot really knew what he was talking about in his Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats. Yep cats do what they want, and you can’t do anything about it.
Just try telling them what to do. All you get is a stare, a meow, and the cat doing exactly what you asked them not to.
And what about when you try to read a book or go on your laptop? Instant rubbing, stepping, and messing with.
But as much as they ignore you, mess with your stuff, and just do what they want..they are utterly adorable and you love them. After all:
And cats are always there for you when you need them:
Well here I go, the second to last post on our “Getting Over a Heartbreak” list:
30) Here I Go by Relient K
So here we are, another Relient K song. I think if you look at the whole list you’ll see a majority of the songs are either Journey or Relient K. I can’t help it! That’s what I was digging after my break up.
So the reason why I put this second to last on my “Getting Over a Heartbreak” series, was that I thought It really expressed how one feels after you have been through everything and are 100% over that other person.
But over in the sense that you aren’t angry, you don’t care about that other person, you have completely moved on and are just focusing on what is coming next in your life. Enjoying being yourself and being alive. Here I Go!
Yeah!
Oh, believe me I have tried
to work this out from the inside
then I finally realized I need to move on with my life
Gotta make something happen
not just sit around and wait for it
this place is like a prison I think I’m going to have to make a break for it
whoa-o here I go it’s like I made it for the first time
whoa-o here I go and I think it’s the first time I felt alive
Yeah! Alive!
I’ve been so depressed I’ve been let down
been pushed aside been pushed around
there’s one thing that I need
something you can’t take from me
Gotta make something happen
not just sit around and wait for it
this place is like a prison I think I’m going to have to make a break for it
whoa-o here I go it’s like I made it for the first time
whoa-o here I go and I think it’s the first time I felt alive
whoa-o here I go it’s like I made it for the first time
whoa-o here I go and I think it’s the first time I felt alive
Move up, move on
you blink I’m gone
we only have one life to live
I’ll live it now
you have no doubt
I’ll prove you wrong
this is the only thing that I know
so here I go
[Chorus]
whoa-o here I go it’s like I made it for the first time
whoa-o here I go and I think it’s the first time I felt alive
whoa-o here I go it’s like I made it for the first time
whoa-o here I go I think it’s the first time I felt alive.
Forget the past
Live your life

Most important:

So guys, here we are another post on the “Getting Over a Heartbreak” series:
28) Any Way You Want It by Journey
Another Journey song, I know but I can’t help it I love them. They capture emotions so well and can really get their message across.
So this song was released in the ’80s. It was written by lead singer Steve Perry and guitarist Neal Schon. In 1979, Journey was touring with Thin Lizzy and were greatly influenced by them.
The reason I put this on the list was because after a breakup you need to focus on yourself and what you want. And as you are single you should not only can do what you want but you should do whatever you want.
Any way you want it
That’s the way you need it
Any way you want it
She loves to laugh
She loves to sing
She does everything
She loves to move
She loves to grove
She loves the lovin’ things
Ooh, all night, all night
Oh, every night
So hold tight, hold tight
Ooh, baby, hold tight
Oh, she said,
Any way you want it
That’s the way you need it
Any way you want it
She said, Any way you want it
That’s the way you need it
Any way you want it
I was alone
I never knew
What good love could do
Ooh, then we touched
Then we sang
About the lovin’ things
Ooh, all night, all night
Oh, every night
So hold tight, hold tight
Ooh baby, hold tight
Oh, she said,
Any way you want it
That’s the way you need it
Any way you want it
She said, Any way you want it
That’s the way you need it
Any way you want it
There is also the awesome Rock of Ages version:
After all, once you know what you want go after it:
And never settle for anything else:
You may be:
But the right guy will come around and love you no matter what:
Music is awesome and helps you overpower anything. One such song being:
26) Whip It by Devo
Whip It was created by Devo in the ’80s. The lyrics were inspired by the book Gravity’s Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon. The whole purpose of the song was to overcome adversity by “whipping” or defeating any problem you may face. Devo wears their trademark black, sleeveless turtlenecks, and their red Energy Dome headgear.
This song has been covered by tons of people; everyone from Alvin and the Chipmunks, to Moby, to Korn.
Crack that whip
Give the past a slip
Step on a crack
Break your momma’s back
When a problem comes along
You must whip it
Before the cream sets out too long
You must whip it
When something’s goin’ wrong
You must whip it
Now whip it
Into shape
Shape it up
Get straight
Go forward
Move ahead
Try to detect it
It’s not too late
To whip it
Whip it good
When a good time turns around
You must whip it
You will never live it down
Unless you whip it
No one gets away
Until they whip it
I say whip it
Whip it good
I say whip it
Whip it good
Crack that whip
Give the past a slip
Step on a crack
Break your momma’s back
When a problem comes along
You must whip it
Before the cream sets out too long
You must whip it
When something’s goin’ wrong
You must whip it
Now whip it
Into shape
Shape it up
Get straight
Go forward
Move ahead
Try to detect it
It’s not too late
To whip it
Into shape
Shape it up
Get straight
Go forward
Move ahead
Try to detect it
It’s not too late
To whip it
Well, whip it good
Of course one of my favorite depictions comes from Raising Helen.
Remember:
To start the “Getting Over a Heartbreak” series from the beginning, go to If It Means A Lot to You
And if you have been following me lately, you’d know that one thing this magic protects against is a broken heart.
Yep, if you haven’t guessed it…this is another step in the “Getting Over a Heartbreak” series.
25) The Lining is Silver by Relient K
This song comes off the album The Bird and the Bee Sides, the same CD that Up and Up came from. The title of the song comes from the idiom “that every cloud has a silver lining”. Which means that you can always find good in bad.
Now the song takes it in a new direction. It does cover that in bad you can find good, but also that the silver lining is in you. You are the good in the bad situation, it resides in who you are. You are golden, you are awesome.
I found my new black shoes
While cleaning out the bones left in my closet
They were there with the bad excuse
Bon Voyage
Bye thoughts
And I found a back up plan
I’m grateful that I didn’t have to use it
But it’s made of real good friends
Bon Voyage
Isn’t it nice to know
That the lining is silver
Isn’t it nice to know
That we’re golden
Well I found a list of flaw
That I saw in myself and other people
And I threw it away because
Bon Voyage
Isn’t it nice to know
That the lining is silver
Isn’t it nice to know
That we’re golden
Yeah we’re golden
Oh
When it all falls apart and you can’t see
The forest for the cemeteries
Isn’t it nice to know
Isn’t it nice to know
Isn’t it nice to know
That the lining is silver
Isn’t it nice to know
That we’re golden
Oh
Isn’t it nice to know
That the lining is silver
Isn’t it nice to know
That we’re golden
Yeah we’re golden oh
I found a love in me
I always somehow knew that it existed
It just needed to be set free
Bon Voyage
