I hate them. Fake Plastic Trees and Fake Plastic anything.
The title has no reason, except I couldn’t download Radiohead’s In Rainbows from their site because their site crashed. It is the first song that came to mind when I thought of them, when I was reminded this evening that their new stuff was available via download. I haven’t listened to, or thought of, them in some time. Fake Plastic Trees is a great song, if you haven’t heard them you might want to take a trip to this old song via the link.
I have been writing papers all day. My hands are almost bleeding, although I’ve been typing not writing, and some of the time I’ve been online, or eating, or grocery shopping, or gathering acorns which ended up having bugs in them, much to my surprise.
No fear, my night was made right when someone sent me this link via my contact form, with the note “for you because I know you desire much the older man over younger”.
The cat has my tongue and my words are gone.
I don’t know where the email came from. I’ve had more perplexing emails, but I want to suggest something.
Older to me can be good. When you’re on you tube though, please consider older and dead. That is where it’s really at.
When Your Strange
When you’re strange
No one remembers your name
Alice

I’ve been with my older man now for 23 years … no regrets at all. Older is better in many ways.
People are strange.
Who’s the blond?
Wait a couple days on Radiohead. It’s not an emergency.
In college I dated a girl obsessed with Jim Morrison, her walls were covered with him. I mean this was a shrine. One day I got sick of looking at him and reminded her that he died of a probable heroin overdose, or was murdered by his junkie girlfriend, in a bathtub in Paris, and I questioned her fascination with the long dead musician.
I never saw her again. Wonder whatever happened to her.
People are strange.
I am so glad that I am no longer in university. I would be wigged out if I got an anon note describing my wants … It’s the strange intimacy that blogging creates.
Radiohead is top 10 of my year.
Hmmm…I used to like Andy Williams. The lip sync is bad on that, but she’s got the leg thing down.
Fake trees are ugly when you’re alone.
The blong is Christie Brinkley, ex of another old guy, the piano player one.
Your fan’s note is chock full of ardor, and even charming in an English-is-not-my-first-language way.
But the youtube serenade is frightening.
Harriett: I’ve always thought so, for many reasons. Congratulations, Twenty-three years is almost as long as I’ve roamed the earth.
John: According to you tube it Denise something or other. Some British pop stat or porn star. Not really sure I didn’t look her up. I prefer brunettes.
Jacob: It’s funny to think of you and some obsessed girlfriend. Yup, people are strange. Isn’t that great though?
xine: You’re right you know. I never gave it much thought because if I did it would be more than enough to creep me out.
That Old Soul: I’m Shocked. Kidding of course. I still haven’t heard it.
Kellypea: She’s got something down.
Doug: Dogs don’t care if trees are fake though do they?
Sandra: So much frightening out there isn’t there? I was laughing so I really did not see the perverseness of it at first.
Jacob’s comment made me laugh also
You know the only older man for you
Honestly after giving this subject much thought and practice I think it’s best to be with somebody similiar in age just for the cultural references
Though one of the happiest couples I know – she’s 20 years older and it’s real love. That she’s mega-rich has little, or nothing, to do with it. Really.
In my ineptitude, I’ve tried plus 7 years and minus 7 years to my age. Age doesn’t matter, their maturity, interests shared and intellect (of me or her) made the difference.
Once your past 23 or 24, if you date a person double your age, that’s only a problem for your parents. If you connect on whatever level, spiritual, intellectually, sexually, professionally, it is up to you to handle it.
People are strange, but toss money, sex, fidelity, politics or religion in the way, and they get plenty stranger. Becoming the 3-dollar bill of perversity and irrationality.
Yes, people are strange.
But just for the record, in case people are confused, I do not have your tongue. And, yes, I do know that’s not Christie Brinkley in that tube.
People are strange, that’s the only possible explanation.….….Alice.
I haven’t bothered going to the site. In a few weeks is soon enough for me. I’m not a hard fan.
After a certain age …age… it doesn’t matter.
Freaky weird readers who think they have an intimate relationship with you does matter.
And with Halloween coming and all…
This is so wrong.
Your inability to download Radiohead, that strange video accompanied by a provocative / semi stalking note, your continued preference for dark haired poets, all the way through me watching Michael Stipes dance, with the sound off, in the video above.
It’s just so wrong.
Dark haired poets? I see.
I like strange, or eccentric people.
Not stalkers, but people who don’t always follow the
expected path.
I seem to get here these days on those rare posts where you shut off comments. I haven’t seen that Doors video in years. The first video is creepy because Any Williams looks like a stalker with that sickish smile.
You’ve got me hooked! Great tune.
