That sound
July 30 2005
So, you are sitting at home watching tv and the phone rings...it's 830 in the morning on a saturday and you don't even know if you want to answer it. so you check the caller id and it's the person who hasn't called you in a about a month, so each that person needs something, or they have something to say...
thus is the story of today. My phone rang and it was U2's "Where the streets have no name." (the default ring on my phone). thus it can be just about anyone. Well that song was definately appropriate for the call i received. the first verse is
"I want to feel the sunlight on my face
I see the dust clouds disappear without a trace.
I want to take shelter from the poison rain
Where the streets have no name."
Well, anyone's first guess about this song is that it is referring to heaven. Well, my phone call was to tell me that one of my friends, and someone who used to work at wal-mart, died early this morning in Manchester. Now when the person who is calling you is crying, it is all that you can do to not cry too because you know they are calling you to hold them up and to be supportive. thus i had to run out of the house this morning and go straight to her because in a time like this everyone needs a friend regardless of whatever that have done to you in the past.
I managed to hold back the tears until i went to work and had the privacy of my milk cooler. a place where i can think and reflect on life in general. the only thing that i could think of were the lyrics to an old Poison song..."Something to Believe In (acoustic version)":
"But when I want to bitch about growing old, I think how many never had a chance."
Stopped in the prime of life, and here i sit taking the every next day for granted, when all i have to do is take that step backwards and fall 250 feet into a rock quarry. Unfortunately I will never have the chance to see Amber again, but i know that she is in a better place. yet it still sucks that someone has to lose there life so young (she was only 21). So take today and embrace it, don't put off something to tomorrow has you may never have a chance for whatever it is.
The simple sound of a ringing phone, and everything changes. The phone rings and even if you know who is on the other side, you don't know what they will say.
