Day 2, The soundtrack

Woke up at the crack of dawn to this the reality that my relationship was over.  And just as I attempted to go back to sleep, the voice of a strong and beautiful black drag queen took over my sad thoughts and said: " Girl, you better get your ass up and hit the mountain... If you are gonna get dumped, at least you need to look good".  With that very thought and the vision of RuPaul watching over me, I got my ass up and in hiking gear in record breaking time.  Got into my car , Princess Prius and turned on my Ipod to Anastacia's "One Day In Your Life" which made me cry hysterically as I was singing the lyrics (see below).  Got that out of my system and hit the hill and once I got on top, I sat down on a rock overlooking the city I have called home for the past 16 years and as Anthony Kiedis so appriopriatly sings in Red Hot Chili Pepper's "Under The Bridge":


Sometimes I feel like I don't have a partner
Sometimes I feel like my only friend
Is the city I live in, the city of angels
Lonely as I am, together we cry

So together, the city and I cried... And just as I was drowning in my own mini pool of tears and drool, a sympathetic doggie licked my hands as if to say "It's going to be ok" which of course made me snap out the depressing film playing in my head where I was a poor orphan in Poland, post World War 2 destitute and hungry.   Rest of my soundtrack so far today includes:
*Coldplay's "Fix it"
*George Michael's "I can't make you love me"
*Cee Lo Green's "Forget You" also know as "F**k You"

Best advice/email of the day award goes to my friend Mark who so eloquenly said: 

"You set your bird free and if he does not come back then he may be lost and must find himself."

Anastacia's "One Day In Your Life"
 I know 
that's just it goes 
and you ain't right 
for sure 
you turned your back on love 
for the last time 
it won't take much longer now 
time makes me stronger, way 
there's nothing more to say 

One day in your life 
said love would remind you 
how could you leave it all behind 
one day in your live 
it's gonna find you 
with the tears that left me cry 
and baby I'm stronger then before 
you gotta play it on the line 
maybe one day in your life 

My love 
did you think I'd break down 
and cry 
this thing we had 
it mean the world to me 
guess I ... 
it won't take much longer now 
see time makes me stronger way 
and I know you'll be coming round some day 

One day in your life 
said love would remind you 
how could you leave it all behind 
yeah 
one day in your live 
it's gonna find you 
with the tears that left me cry 
and baby I'm stronger then before 
you gotta play it on the line 
maybe one day in your life 

You called me in the midnight hour 
with your ... lights 
so many sleepless nights, I wonder 
is it time to say goodbye? 
oooh yeah 

One day in your life 
said love would remind you 
baby 
how could you leave it all behind 
could you leave it all behind 
yeah 
one day in your live 
it's gonna find you 
with the tears that left me cry 
and baby I'm stronger then before 
you gotta play it on the line 
maybe one day in your life 

ooooooooone day 

One day in your life 
said love would remind you 
yeah yeah yeah 
how could you leave it all behind 
oh oh oh yeah 
one day in your live 
it's gonna find you 
with the tears that left me cry 
and baby I'm stronger then before 
you gotta play it on the line 
maybe one day in your life
