Given the media coverage, it is certainly no secret that this coming week will see both the chilliest weather in southeast Texas so far this season and a major outbreak of very cold air over the eastern 2/3 of the country. What may not be so clear is that the cool-down this week will usher in a colder than normal period that will persist until late November.

I don't wish to tempt fate, especially given the quiet hurricane season we've had in the Gulf of Mexico and with the strongest hurricane of the 2014 season bearing down on Bermuda, but Friday does bring a key date in the hurricane season for the Galveston County area.

It's wet out there.
Rains over the past few days have guaranteed that Galveston Island and most of the County will have the wettest September since 2008.

A combination of moist, unstable air from the Gulf of Mexico and additional moisture coming in from the remnants of former Hurricane Odile to our west, should keep showers and thunderstorms around through the end of the week. Locally heavy rain will be possible in some areas, depending on where the showers and thunderstorms develop and rainfall amounts of 1-3 inches will be possible over all of Galveston County.
One morning at the end of summer, just like that, the light changes. It's a gradual process, but it strikes me the most after a cold front has passed and cleaned the air of static and dust, making the light clear and brilliant.
Fans of The Beach Hut, 731 Seawall Blvd., on the island, were hoping the bar and live music venue's recent closure was only seasonal. Alas, it isn't.
A cold front slipped off the Texas coast overnight bringing a fresh, autumn breeze to the area. While the front may not pack as much punch as some can in mid-September, it will still bring lower humidity levels and milder temperatures to Galveston County. Lows on Sunday morning are expected to dip into the lower-70's and I would not be surprised to see them drop to the 60's over the northwest part of the County.
The Daily News Press Run is Saturday and I'm ready for my first, official 10k. Thanks to readers of this occasional blog for good advice that I gratefully heeded.
Biz Buzz is filed for Thursday and I'm already working on next week's column. One Buzz item of note is about a mother and daughter — Natalie Malphrus and Darcie Malphrus-Schlegel – who have co-written a book "Galveston: Beyond the Beach."
As much as we appreciate people traveling to Galveston and how local business thrives off visitors, after Labor Day, the locals issue a gigantic, cleansing sigh. The summer vacationers have left. It is island-reclamation time. The beaches at sunrise are deserted, the miles belong to the residents.
From a climatological point of view, September is a month that finds many of us in Galveston County waiting. We wait for the first "real" cold front of the season, looking for a break from prolonged summer heat. We find ourselves waiting to move beyond the peak of hurricane season (which statistically comes around September 10). We tell ourselves that if we can only make it a few more weeks, we will be out of the woods for another season. And, we find ourselves looking for some respite from the onslaught of mosquitoes, thinking more fondly of the coming winter.

Nature's Variety Instinct Grain-Free Pork Formula Canned Cat Food Customer Reviews
Nature's Variety Instinct Grain-Free Pork Formula Canned Cat Food 17 17
My cat's new favorite flavor! I was a bit worried about trying this flavor as I've had some hits & misses among the other NV canned cat foods - but just the smell of the pork sends all 3 of my cats into a frenzy, every time. Needless to say there is never any leftover food when this is served! February 16, 2013
Finally a new flavor my cat can eat! I have a 19 year-old cat with ibd and very finicky tastes, so it's always a struggle to find foods that she CAN eat and is also WILLING to eat. Nature's Variety Instinct canned is one of a very few brands she can tolerate, and thankfully she dove right into this new pork flavor. Prior to this she would only agree to duck and rabbit, so we're both happy there's another flavor in the rotation. June 3, 2013
product has great ingredients My cats like the pork.but i prefer natures pride over natures variety since they like the mince pieces better than the pate type.i wish the pork was minced too. April 18, 2014
My cat loves Natures Variety Pork Formula The Pork Formula is one my cat's favorite foods. My cat is diabetic and this formula is a good source of high protein and low carbs. March 24, 2014
unusual protein Pork is hard to find in animal foods but is a good protein to add for variety. Nature's Variety Instinct seems to offer appropriately-balanced canned foods for cats. My cat accepted this food immediately. March 23, 2014
My Cat Loves Pork This is the best smelling canned cat food and my cat LOVES it.. March 16, 2014
Mini Mouser's Favorite Mini Mouser is an orphan rescue who was malnourished and barely had any fur when we found her. We started both her and her sister on Nature's Variety Instinct Grain Free Canned Cat Food and they both have beautiful shiny coats and are healthy girls now. Chili Pepper, Mini's sister, loves all of the flavors but the pork is Mini's favorite. March 7, 2014
Irresistible to my cats. The smell of this cat food is quite good and must taste as good as it smells, as my 2 cats get a wee bit impatient waiting for me to get it into their bowls. :) Having single protein foods to choose from while trying to identify food sensitivities/allergies is a must. I also appreciate the quality ingredients this company adheres to. February 22, 2014

November 28, 2014
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The House has overwhelmingly approved legislation to allow patients facing long waits for care at Veterans Affairs facilities to get VA-paid treatment from local doctors.
Tuesday's 421-0 vote was Congress' latest response to the outcry over backlogs and falsified data at the VA.
The bill is similar to a broader measure that the Senate plans to debate soon.
The action comes with the VA reeling from growing evidence that workers fabricated data on veterans' waits for medical appointments in an effort to mask frequent, long delays.
A VA audit this week showed that more than 57,000 new patients waited at least three months for initial appointments.
Republican Rep. Jeff Miller of Florida, chairman of the House Veterans Affairs Committee, says the VA's handling of patients is a national disgrace.

Kumbayah… The Juneteenth Story
Alaina L. Lewis
For too many Black Americans, the real meaning of Juneteenth gets lost between the satisfying of ones appetite for good food and company, followed by the pouring of Spirits to top off the annual commemoration. Every June, we're ready for the celebration, but do all of us know why we've come together and do we know the real history behind its significance? No. So quite like the hour before our captivity, even now we're still eclipsed by the same blindfolded journey: they had no knowledge of the road they were going, and many of us know not of the road we've been.

Lost souls' lives intersect in serendipitous erotic thriller

They used to call New York the Naked City, but maybe L.A. deserves that suggestive sobriquet, judging by the goings-on in Powder Blue, an alternately thought-provoking and erotic thriller written and directed by Timothy Linh Bui. The film boasts one of the most star-studded casts for a flick that went straight to video, starting with Oscar-winner Forest Whitaker and Emmy-winners Lisa Kudrow and Ray Liottta, and also including Sanaa Lathan, Kris Kristofferson, Patrick Swayze and Jessica Biel. Plus, the internet has been abuzz about Biel's nude scenes, but still no theatrical release for this offbeat indie adventure.

Review: "This Child Will Be Great" by Ellen Johnson Sirleaf
Terri Schlichenmeyer
Being a political animal can be very rough.
Just the getting there is daunting, with the months-long campaigning and the lack of rest that comes with it. Once you're in office, you're responsible for things both light and heavy. Everybody knows your business, and they all have opinions about it.

Five Things Weird Al Critiques in Mandatory Fun
By Steve Brennan
By Ashley Zimmerman
Born on hip-hop and driven delirious by dancehall's sub-bass and garage's ADD beats, U.K. grime is new enough to have more energy than it does discipline which makes it both exhilarating and barely listenable. Vertically Challenged, the first stateside offering from 18-year-old London MC Lady Sovereign, suffers from a similar crisis of maturity. For those not accustomed to grime, the first step is a doozy. Dry synth stabs and slabs of quirky electro embellishments clang above swells of seemingly bottomless bass lines. And while its immediacy and novelty are jarring, the flimsy rhythms at the heart of the tracks make repeated listening unwarranted. Sovereign's easily excitable flow doesn't help matters out either. She effortlessly soars from stoned sneer to fluttering sing-song, but often, she seems oblivious to the beat (not that we could blame her). Of course, that isn't to say that Vertically Challenged isn't good for a few laughs. On "Get Random," she quotes J-Kwon's "Tipsy" along with Luda's "Move Bitch" and concludes that "J. Lo's got a backy/But you can't see mine cuz my trousers are baggy." Yeah, it's silly-stupid, but it's also kinda fun.

November 24, 2014
McALESTER, Okla. (AP) - Felony embezzlement charges have been filed against the director of Talihina's Conservation District alleging he used state property for services valued at $470.24.
Aaron Grey of Blanco is due in Pittsburg County District Court on July 24.
When contacted by phone Grey said he could not talk about the charges by telephone but offered to meet with a reporter next week.
He's accused of using a Department of Agriculture trailer to transport a rented bulldozer and of using a state bulldozer to grade a private road and his driveway.
The charges were filed following an investigation by the Department of Agriculture.
The conservation district is one of 88 in Oklahoma that administers programs and technical help to producers and landowners.

News in Brief
The Senate Appropriations Committee on July 17 approved by voice vote a bill that would spend $500 million less on defense IT than requested by the Obama administration, while maintaining a keen focus on cybersecurity.
A committee summary of the fiscal 2015 defense appropriations bill justified the reduction to the administration's request by saying that "trimming IT funding will help prioritize and better target non-cybersecurity IT investments in an era of fiscal constraint." The Defense Appropriations Subcommittee had approved the bill, including the $500 million reduction, on July 15.
The bill would put $75 million toward the Rapid Innovation Fund, which helps small businesses develop advanced national security technologies. It would also boost investment in DOD medical research by $789 million, or 5 percent more than the fiscal 2014 Senate bill. Subcommittee Chairman Richard Durbin (D-Ill.) hailed the legislation for protecting "America's leadership at the cutting edge of innovation."
There is no scheduled date for the full Senate to consider the bill, a committee spokesman said.
Much of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation's information may be at risk because the agency has not fully implemented its information security program, a Government Accountability Office report suggests.
Despite having acted on 28 of 39 recommendations issued from 2011 to 2013, the FDIC did not fully implement controls for identifying and authenticating the identity of users, restricting access to sensitive systems and data, encrypting sensitive data, completing background reinvestigations for employees and auditing and monitoring system access, according to a report released July 17.
Specifically, GAO found the FDIC was not thorough enough in fully documenting and implementing information security controls, ensuring that employees and contractors received security awareness training, conducting ongoing assessments of security controls for all systems and remediating agency-identified weaknesses in a timely manner.
Talk of a new cold war has some lawmakers worried about U.S. reliance on Russian-made rocket engines for access to space.
"The United States is scrambling to maintain access to space and has no immediate options if the current supplier in Russia decides to cease export, or if geopolitical circumstances dictate that the U.S. is no longer able to engage in a partnership with its supplier," Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said at a July 16 hearing.
At issue is the Russian RD-180 engine embedded in the Atlas 5 rocket, which the U.S. military uses to launch spacecraft.
While acknowledging that "long-term U.S. national security interests would be enhanced by shifting from the RD-180" to American-made engines, Alan Estevez, principal deputy undersecretary of Defense for acquisition, technology and logistics, insisted at the hearing that "the United States is not dependent on Russian technology to launch our critical space assets."
GCN reports that the Army has been eliminating unused applications and migrating other enterprise applications and systems to designated core data centers as part of a Defense Department-wide initiative and the Army's consolidation of more than 1,100 data centers.
About 800 unused apps have been terminated to date, out of about 11,000, saving on licensing fees and upgrades. Fewer apps also mean less potential for malware.
Washington Technology reports that the Government Accountability Office has recommended the Air Force re-evaluate proposals from Abacus Technology and D&S Consultants for the $5.8 billion NetCents 2 small business contract. Two other firms' protests were dismissed.
NetCents 2 covers network operations and infrastructure solutions for the Air Force. Nine losing bidders filed protests when the Air Force made awards to 12 companies in March. Decisions on the remaining protests are expected later this month.

Little Spoon Cafe Is Now Open
Little Spoon Cafe opened today at 15th and South Streets, in the former (and a bit weird) home to Baja Room. The space has been transformed into a super attractive cafe that is open for breakfast, lunch, and on some nights, dinner. We stopped in for a late lunch and enjoyed a BLT served with crispy bacon, on excellent bread.
The cafe is owned by area residents, Jeanne French and Julia McMeans. The chef is Lauren Geary, who was once the chef down the street, at the now closed Pumpkin Market. The cafe opens at 7 a.m. and offers quick breakfast options, plus breakfast sandwiches and burritos. Daily breakfast specials include a rotating selection of scrambles and galettes, a rustic pastry with seasonal filling.
Lunch offers soups, salads, sandwiches and a rotating choice of grilled cheeses. Little Spoon also stocks ice cream from Franklin Fountain, plus treats from Shane's Candies.

Emerald Buddha Temple (Wat Phra Kaew) was just amazing. Take a camera. Architecture and decoration out of this world. Grand Palace was just as amazing. The gardens were wonderful and architecture superb. Not alowed inside because this is a residence of the King. Get your picture taken with a guard and be respectful, and you will have a wonderful experience. Guide was knowledgable and very willing to help with photographs and a very friendly person. Language was not a problem.
We visited the Grand Palace on our last (and hottest!) day. Our guide was great and the temples were beautiful. It really is a must see when visitng Bangkok.
Amazing, great guide and very easy transport etc. A must see at a great value.
This tour was conducted by the same company as the Bangkok Temples Tour. As with that one, this one was wonderful! Very knowledgeable staff willing to answer all questions!

We were lucky and had the guide to ourselves. So before the palace we went to markets etc. The Palace itself is amazing. One visit is not enough to do it justice.
Great outing with great guide. This met our expectations. Knowledgeable and friendly guide. He also showed us through the nearby flower and fruit markets which were really an added bonus.
Our guide Chai was amazing with his knowledge of this location. Loved each aspect of this tour.
Both really enjoyed. Good guide.
Amazing, amazing, amazing. I loved This tour. Our guide was funny and sweet. The Grand Palace is very grand. You definitely get enough time to see everything. We also got to see the town of Bangkok on the way there and the guide explained a lot about the architecture and history. I would definitely recommend this tour.

First off, this line of "fashion" jewelry is SENSATIONAL!! Very well made with a lot of "substance". The workmanship is superb. I like the vibrant colors of the rings and the bracelets. This ring is GORGEOUS! It is surprisingly comfortable for its design. I also ordered the tanzanite coil necklace to match this ring but the color doesn't match 100%. I also love that I got quite a bargain on this ring,...$20.99! I could have purchased it at $12.60 but was afraid it would sell out. I must say that I own 12 of Joan's pieces and every one of them is FANTASTIC! I sure hope TSC brings her back because this fashion jewelry is QUALITY and BEAUTIFUL!!!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Love These Rings!
By Savvy shopper
from Alberta
I have four of these rings...I have worn them for a month now....no issues whatsoever. They are fun rings, with a great touch of "bling". I also have Joan's pave cigar rings...all four...again, no issues whatsoever, only compliments! These are a great bargain at this price. Thank you Joan!

I have both the cute kisses ring...four of them, as well as all four of the pave cigar rings. I have worn them all, and have had nothing but compliments. They are such fun rings, and I am glad I purchased them!

I purchased this ring in the clear diamond and the black diamond.I wore this ring ONCE and my finger turned green!!! I contacted The Shopping Channel to tell them about this and i wanted to return this ring and they said because it was just over the 30 days they would not allow me to return it and get my money back!!! Very very disappointed!!!!!!
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Where is the so call guarantee??
By GoldenPond
from Way up North.
Very pretty ring. When I heard Joan Boyce talk about this ring she stated clearly that her jewelry comes with a lifetime guarantee...well I hope so, have worn my ring three times only and the stones are falling out already....hmmmm. I thought that since a guarantee was mentionned that there would be some sort of paper work atesting to that in the package when I received it...nope, nothing. Will be contacting the Shopping Channel to see about exhanging the ring...

I ordered several rings in various colours and I must say my absolute favourites are: Tanzanite, Fuchsia, Clear with silver and The black diamond.All the rings are so beautiful but my absolute favourites are the tanzanite and the fuchsia. The are just stunning and match perfectly with my matching bracelet. Perfection. Love it.
( 5 of 13 customers found this review helpful)
I did order several rings of this design and love them all. Since I am a perfectionist, I would like to have the jewellery presented in a fabulous box. Some of the jewellery pieces are in black an some are in blue boxes. Joan, you know better than that. You can have a fabulous box designed for your jewellery. If the presentation was better, I would give the product five stars. In my opinion, presentation of the product is everything.

Big, Bold and Beautiful! If you want to make a statement then you have to buy this ring. Workmanship is impeccable, very comfortable to wear. Definitely a keeper, no regrets here.Ladies if you want to make a statement then buy from this line.

Massachusetts is a beautiful place – from Plymouth and pilgrims to Nantucket and whaling. Boston is an iconic city full of history and one of the great cities of the world with beautiful architecture, excellent restaurants and culture. There are spirited college towns and Provincetown's long history of openness. There are the beautiful beaches from Cape Cod to the south and to the north, seascapes of Cape Ann – with seafood and sea winds and wild nature everywhere. Western Massachusetts is a bucolic scenic world of hills, wilderness and mountains, skiing and snowboarding, as well as the world-class music of the Birkshires's Tanglewood. When seeking a place to vacation and relax, think Massachusetts.
Oklahoma Bed and Breakfast

Bed and Breakfast Illinois
Select Registry helps you find the best bed and breakfast Illinois has to offer. Here are a few of our members in Illinois.
Harvey House Bed and Breakfast
The Harvey House Bed and Breakfast, situated in the quaint village of Oak Park, is the closest suburb to Chicago. Originally established as a dry community (local ordinances prohibited the sale of alcohol), Oak Park remained a bastion of conservatism until the 1973. Its close proximity to the Loyola Medical Center and the University of Chicago encouraged a new wave of settlers interested in rehabilitating and repurposing the community's homes, most of which were built in the 1800s.

Bed and Breakfast NC
North Carolina is known for its rich history, traditional values, and southern hospitality. Many of its homes were built prior to the Civil War and its owners have maintained their historic architecture. It was become an increasingly popular trend across the state to turn many of these historic homes into bed and breakfast inns. With over twenty different North Carolina Inns, guests have many different options to choose from.
New York Bed and Breakfast
New York was one of the original thirteen colonies of the United States. Known as the Empire State, New York is one of the most visited states in the country, and it is home to the largest city in the United States, New York City. Staying in a bed and breakfast in New York could be the ideal way to relax and get away from the challenges of everyday life.

For 98% it has been smooth?
As part of the unlucky 2% I strongly believe my group is much larger than 2%.
In fact, the top-level Kaiser officials would do well to check with their own administrative personnel to learn of the "smooth sailing" Kaiser has experienced in dealings with Covered California.
The main problems? Covered California is over-staffed and over-funded as a sales and marketing operation. As such, there was never a good time to "launch" it's leaky ship.
Forgotten in the madness to "sign people up" are niceties such as accuracy and attention to detail; two-way communication with customers/responsiveness; familiarity with the subject matter being hawked (health insurance, health care, health care financing); clear application and followup instructions; and concern regarding the privacy of personal information.

I rarely do this but I would like to publicly thank God for keeping my husband safe. I saw the weather warnings on Friday but took a load and sent my husband to Clarksville, AR for a delivery on Sunday afternoon. I was keeping a close eye on those storms and was pretty much making him crazy calling every 15 minutes asking what the weather was like.No, I don´t think the Good Lord in heaven kept those storms away from him in particular but I´m still grateful.

Apparently, the WU bloggers who have been posting for a good many years are ignoring the blog referenced above and are using the general blog to post information on this dangerous system. You can find the "everyday" blog at:http://tinyurl.com/mn8d5n4There´s a lively miscellany of charts, radars, photographs, forecasts, severe weather warnings and comments.

The killer storm passed about 3 miles west of my home. We could hear it as it passed. There was a constant low rolling thunder quality to it. A few crescendos but nothing suddenly loud. The clouds were moving at a brisk pace to the North East. There was plenty of lightening as well. The storm moved away but the sound never just stopped. It just slowly faded away. Once it was gone, then the individual thunder sounds with each lightening strike was audible. And the air raid sirens (I mean storm warning sirens) were constantly on and off with the movement of the storm. There was no rain in our area during this. Just a very calm warm humid quality to the air. It was a bit surreal as the clouds were moving at such a notably fast pace yet the air around us was still.

Well, I wouldn´t go by the sensationalized forecasts in the daily mail piece. !00 twisters "set" to strike in the next week?How do they know that? Are they lined up at the border for a head count?And the map showing the graphic of the forecast shows the word "SEVERE" right on Missouri. Sorry to disappoint but our forecast here in central MO has zero severe weather for the rest of the week. We have 30% chance of "showers".Remember that even though there was an outbreak with a few deadly tornados - I do not mean to downplay them- the result was substantially less than the dire forecasts before the storms. Pay attention to local weather this time of year and leave the forecasting to meteorologists rather than tabloid media.

We had very good warning that this system was coming. Those of us who were in the path of the system kept an eye on where the storms were and made plans for our safety. We really don´t appreciate those who make snide comments about global warming or that the forecasters are being overly hysterical. The storms have always come, they will always come, we will survive and we appreciate the fact that we have much better knowledge of storms and their paths.

Coming our way in N. Ga by tonight. Everyone please stay safe.#6 is correct about the Daily Mail. Best to always take a story from the Daily Mail with a careful eye. I love to read it and do so every day but they are extremely careless with their editing and headline writing. They get names wrong, dates wrong, list the perp as victim and victim as the perp, etc. and put lurid and misleading headlines on stories.

On The Weather Channel, Mike Bettis found a woman whose house had just been destroyed, and had the nerve to ask her to show him around. She did. Must´ve been in shock, because she never lost her composure. He thanked her, but never offered a word of sympathy for this woman who´d just lost almost everything, yet showed him nothing but gracious hospitality, even as he asked her to risk her personal safety to reenter what had to be an extremely unstable structure. Fascinating, heart-wrenching TV.

The tornado made landfall 10 miles west of the Little Rock ´city limits´. Not 10 miles west of LR.Mayflower and Vilonia are not suburbs of LR either.Please pray for those who desperately need help now and those providing rescue and recovery.

Please everyone stay safe!I have been lucky in that I have never experienced a tornado and don´t want to start any time soon.However... this little headline did give me a chuckle:President Obama said in a statement: ´Your country will be there to help you recover and rebuild, as long as it takes´.Let´s just ask the ´Sandy´ victims if they are back to normal.I guess it all depends on which states voted for him or not.

Choke On This Lyrics - Senses Fail
Review The Song (28)
Half smoked cigarettes and your the trash that infests my sheets
Can't make a wife out of a whore, don't want your skin on me
And you're, you're addicted to the drug of lust
A de-toxing the cold sweat of shame
and I love your pain
I gave you these roses now but I left in the thorns
I'd rather hurt someone than hurt myself
I'll dispose of you like a lighter out of fuel
I'll lose you somewhere on a dusty shelf
So this love's been worn down, like songs on a tape
The sex has lost all of its fun, like gum loses taste
And you're, you're addicted to the drug of lust,
A de-toxing the cold sweat of shame
and I love your pain
I gave you these roses now but I left in the thorns
I'd rather hurt someone than hurt myself
I'll dispose of you like a lighter out of fuel
I'll lose you somewhere on a shelf
I'm here lying in your bed babe
Remember what you said to me
"You can be my James Dean, I'll be your sweet queen"
I said that you were my first, but you weren't even close no
Like a frame in a movie, you're just one of many
Can you grant me one last wish
Play russian roulette as we kiss
I'll be your cheap novelty
Blow your brains out on me
I gave you these roses now but I left in the thorns
I'd rather hurt someone than hurt myself
I'll dispose of you like a lighter out of fuel
I'll lose you somewhere on a shelf

what I interpret | Reviewer: E | 5/13/11
I think when he says "I'd rather hurt someone than hurt myself" he means he'd rather emotionally hurt someone than physically hurt himself trying to make them happy. That makes total sense to me because that's how I feel.
Not rele "emo" | Reviewer: jay | 7/8/09
This song is about what the rest of u have been saying but senses fail always is about how they fucked with the girl and how worthless she is(When its about relationship) instead of most bands who write about how the girl fucked with them...I LOVE SENSES FAIL BEST LYRICS EVER!!!!
i think... | Reviewer: Lily | 6/6/09
Actually, i think the meaning of the song is that at first, he really was in love and tried to make the relationship work. But he realized that to her, it didn't mean anything and that she had cheated on him. He then stayed with her, and used her like she had used him.
yeah | Reviewer: anonymous | 11/10/08
so what i think is that he really cared about her and wanted to stay in the relationship then she completely crushed his soul. so he is now pissed off and instead of blaming himself he is lieing to himself and telling her to go screw off and kill herself. and the whole part about the first time thing, is just him making himself feel better that he kinda screwed her over too.
this song | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/22/08
this song i see that this guy was falling for this girl and she dicked his boots. now he is bitter as hell writing a song about her. recalling the things she said to him. he also said things to her that he just said to pull her in. he wanted to be with her but she didnt know what she wanted and left him and now hes bitter as hell. bitches are crazy man, just make money and screw bitches.
this song | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/22/08
reminds me of what i just went through. fuck her man! bitches...cant live with them and most certainly cant live without them. she hurt him so he makes a song about her in his perspective. its as easy as that.
great break up song | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/22/08
hes talking about some girl that broke his heart. she may not have realized it but it happend. reminds me and the girl i was rcently with. hes now bitter bc he was falling for her and she ran off with an ex or something. so hes mad bitter so he wrote this song. hes saying shit like i told u were my first but you werent even close now bc he wants to hurt her like she hurt him. its like catching ur lover cheating and coming back saying haha well i cheated tooo.
No, No, No, Seriously ? | Reviewer: Grace Elisabeth | 8/3/08
I Dont Think Either Way That Ones "Cheating" Or Really "Using" . Its About Being In A Relationship, &Getting Bored With It . You End Up Hating The Other Person, Wanting To See Them End Up Hurt Because You Are SomeWhat Attached To Them SomeWay Whether It Be Sexually Or Emotionally . Its A In Your Face KindOf Song . I Love It . Thats What I Think Of .
i think | Reviewer: Nick | 7/12/08
It is definately about the girl cheating on the guy. But he admits to using her also. It also started with him lieing to her about being his first love. So technically he started the relationship off with a lie but then fell in love with her and the roses symbolize that the thorns show the his pain from finding out about her. But all in all it is a really good song and Senses Fail is one of my top 3 favorite bands.
choke on this | Reviewer: Giovanne rodriguez | 1/10/08
I think you guys are close, but in my opinion it is about two single people. The singer is a lover scorned and bittered by his emotoinal attachment to the woman, who isn't reciprocated. The woman is a girl who enjoys being single and is addicted to lust and backs out of relationships when things start to get serious.
So keeps on lusting. So he is basically meeting his female counter-part, which completes the singer, but the female is completely apthetic to his obvious attempts at trying to be WITH her. The key part is 'cheap novelty'. So in a sense he's saying get over yourself, because your not that great and i played you first. I'd rather hurt you than hurt myself is about him feeling rejected and pushing her away.
