I've Always Lived Life By My Own Rules

Tim McGraw..........Girl, Put Him On A Biscuit And
Lets Eat It!!


I have never done well with rules set by others. Then instructed that I HAVE to follow them. Who's rules are they? They ain't mine. They may be right for you....but they don't mean shit to me. Even in school. Report cards would always be marked "Needs to follow directions". I would lie and say that i would do better, but i never did.

Marriage has changed this to an extent. No longer is it only my own personal feelings involved. Now, whatever I say or whatever I do reflects back not only onto me but to Mark as well. I have no problems with this. What I still have a problem with is when someone (not Mark) says that I MUST or I HAVE to do this, SAY this, WEAR this, BUY this, LISTEN to this or WATCH this.

I never listen to Critics. Totally a waste of time in my opinion. So what if YOU like it. Good for you. That's your opinion. So what if YOU DON'T like it. Again...good for YOU.
Who cares if YOU don't think I am living my life the way YOU think it should be. None of Your business anyway.
What brought this particular entry to life was when I heard Tim McGraws song "WHO ARE THEY?" As i listened to the words...I couldn't agree more. Take A Look

"Who Are They?"

They say not to have too much fun
They say not to get too much sun
Democrat, Republican
I guess I'm screwed, I'm neither one
Don't say 'hell', say 'what the heck'
Do what's politically correct
Don't pray in school, but have safe sex
Isn't that what they expect?

Who are they?
Yeah you know what they say
Who are they?
Someone I gotta pay
Who are they?
They're probably living in LA
And I don't care anyway
Who are they?

They probably own the Village Voice
The Nashville Scene, The People's Choice
To me it's all a bunch of noise
Decided on by funny boys
They say who does and don't belong
They say our hair's too short or long
They say who's right and who is wrong
As if we'll all just come along

Who are they?
Yeah you know what they say
Who are they?
Someone I gotta pay
Who are they?
They're probably living in LA
And I don't care anyway
Who are they?

Well I wonder if they've got a life
A broken car and two ex-wives
Do they drink beer on Friday night
I wonder if they like to fight
And I wonder if they've got a soul
Or if they like their rock-and-roll
Where do they live, I've got to know
So I can tell them off
Or where to go

Who are they?
Yeah you know what they say
Who are they?
Someone I gotta pay
Who are they?
They're probably living in LA
And I don't care anyway
Who are they?
