Dunno!
Just having a sad day. This past week I have been reminded of my inadequateness and at the weekend I have too much time on my hands to dwell on such matters.

I'll snap out of it soon.

You're are not Inadequate in any way ms blousie
you are lovely and kind and beautiful in your own way and that's all that matters.

whenever i'm feeling blue i remember the film "Clockwise" with John Cleese...
right at the end, when the police are taking him away in the car he utters the line:
"it's not the despair. i can handle the despair. it's the hope!"
maybe that helps, maybe not...

Synchronicity
That line's been one of my mantras my whole life. It's a particularly poignant and pithy one. I've said it to other people too, and just the day before yesterday the Fella said it back to me...

Right,
for once I'm not sad. In fact, I'm all sunshine and mutherfuckin happiness at the minute, but am gracing this thread of woe with my nauseatingly joyful presence to tell you - yes, you - BGB that you are not remotely inadequate. I really will have to meet you and tell you this in person.

My god, is this what they call... pandering?

I'm off to take the family dog for a walk.
My dad went on a pub crawl yesterday so I don't think he's going to be in any fit state to do it and my mum is in Mexico.

Catch you later.

Well, I personally am not having a sad day....but
Am a bit concerned about Mr Psyche. He's under serious pressure at work, pay cuts and now 2nd wave of redundancies. And he's not the type to admit he's having a hard time. Last night he called me at 1.30am, and after 4 years of it only being drunken calls, I was shattered and rejected the call. (But then the age old wake-up-needing-to-pee kicked in) when I got back to bed there was a message from him. He wasn't drunk, just sad.

In 4 years he has NEVER called me up in the middle of the night wanting to talk because he's sad. I felt terrible because there's really nothing I can do other than be there for him. I wish I could wave a magic wand and make it ok.

I'm sad too
I'm really lonely.

All my friends have moved away.
I've got no friends.
( Mrs Entity is in hiding., Sun 28 Jun 2009, 9:32, Reply)

Ditto...
After 18 months you forget about friends. You get a dog and start talking to him. Then you prepare to move to London and have to remember what social skills are.

I have a spare bedroom in our house, and as long as you don't mind sharing with TGB, you can live with us!

Aaaaw BGB
There's no reason to be sad, kitten. You're intelligent, sassy, sexy and in your prime.

Get out there, grab a young studmuffin* and shag him into REAL exhaustion! Yes, it may be meaningless sex but, after all, it's also meaningless sex! Win-win!

As an alternative here's some big beardy man hugs from CP.

There's something in a sunday that makes a fellow feel alone....
:( Bollocks. 6 months of no cash followed by several close friends moving away does not do wonders for your social life. Any friendly B3ta'ns fancy adopting me?

you can come and live in our under-stairs cupboard if you like...
or i can set you up a bunk at the unit. it's a bit dark, damp and subterranean but nice and quiet...

I think I, too, have a place on this thread.
It's a Sunday.

And I can't go to see Ms Crow because I'm at fucking work. I've got to spend my Sunday trying desperately to crack out some data for a talk I'm apparently giving on Tuesday. And tomorrow I will probably have to spend most of the day packing the instrument and its associated guff up for a test flight which may or may not happen on Thursday.

Christ, I need a rest.

Oh, and my computer's being slow and crap.

And it's hot in my office.

*flounces*

Trying and failing?

My sads are being compounded by a sod of a hangover.

Good choice, sir!
I do love this one.

It's amazing.
I love the line where he sings "The moment's already past, yeah it's gone. And I'm not here, this isn't happening". Hrm. I should get some more cheerful music

Good cover.

*edit* And her version of Teardrop is very good too.

( girlinthehole, Sun 28 Jun 2009, 13:18, Reply)

It was that
Or Johnny cash - Sunday morning. Why are there so many depressing songs about sunday?

EDIT: The last song you posted? Is it a cover? I like it
(Fredz A graveyard of hopes, a dump of ambition, Sun 28 Jun 2009, 13:23, Reply)

I know...
"Lazy Sunday" by the Small Faces always makes me want to top myself...
(LongJohnBaldry, Sun 28 Jun 2009, 13:24, Reply)

I havent heard that.
I'll youtube it. Maybe we should all compile a playlist of miserable sunday songs?
(Fredz A graveyard of hopes, a dump of ambition, Sun 28 Jun 2009, 13:26, Reply)

(Might have been taking the piss with that one)
But I could certainly chip in to a proper compilation...
(LongJohnBaldry, Sun 28 Jun 2009, 13:27, Reply)

Hrm. Start it here, or in a new post?
what do you reckon?
(Fredz A graveyard of hopes, a dump of ambition, Sun 28 Jun 2009, 13:29, Reply)

Time for a new thread, I think
(In which it might be worth making clear that suggestions "Lazy Sunday" and U2's "Bloody Sunday" will be met with universal derision)
(LongJohnBaldry, Sun 28 Jun 2009, 13:30, Reply)

Fair enough.
Just thought of another also. :D

Interesting....
I saw the one called if it aint hell they aint happy on the other listening section. Might have to get me some....

I'll toss one out there.

I too am having a bit of sad time- it's a bit quiet and lonely here at the moment and too fucking hot to be outside for any length of time. Add to that that my friends are all either sick or have dropped off the face of the earth into the void, and it's a tad bit grim at the moment...

At the same time, that's not altogether a bad thing. I find that I do my best creative work when I'm slightly depressed.
