Karaoke Forums

Sorry to hear that Mike. But it wasn't a younger woman I was after....she was a couple years older than me actually. I just had a feeling that we connected in a special way besides the karaoke thing. I would always rather talk to her than to try to sing. But she always requested songs from me that she liked to hear me sing. We'd talk about personal stuff alot. She had a live-in boyfriend that talked to me sometimes too. And I'm sure he wasn't happy about our little supposed friendship, but would tolerate it. I'm lucky the guy didn't break me in half. He looked like Hulk Hogan.
Anyhow, my joy of singing was brought on by her, but I've continued since then. I just feel like it doesn't matter much anymore....not a priority.
I work alot of hours and I'm still trying to put a song in here on my day off, but I don't really have time to listen to everyone. It's kinda like I don't want to totally let go of singing, but it hurts when I try.
I'm making it though. I just have to stick with stuff that doesn't have love involved in the lyrics.

so very sorry to hear that Mike...I am not sure how a woman could turn their back on a man who so very obviously adored her. huggs my friend

I have asked myself that question too, because I would have done anything in the world for her. The only answer I have is that there are some people in this world who are never happy with what they have. There are some people that are just born to cheat. She was one of them. I have been told by some people, friends, that it was obviously just about the chase to her. I was not intrested in getting involved with her in the beginning. She pursued me and I finally became convinced that she was sincere....she wasn't. Now I'm just a brokenhearted cowboy! I guess that is what makes country music though, sad tales and broken marriages full of lies and deceit. It only hurt for a while! There are still a lot of women handing me their numbers! I just need to call one of them I guess! Thanks for your very kind words!--Mike

Mike you are very wise, sadly she does sound like a "grass is always greener" person and you are better off without her...if only others were that wise instead of blaming other external influences for all their woes. There is a time when intelligent folk just stand up and take responsibility for their actions and stop blaming web sites and karaoke hosts and errr trying to sound like the original singer...but I digress, I know it must still hurt like hell cos I sat and watched your happiness as the time got closer for your wedding.
But you know the old saying...Love like you've never been hurt...get back out there Mike and I am sure you will find someone deserving of that committment you showed hugggs

PC - I think it comes down to - why do you sing?

I sing because I enjoy it. I don't do it for others, I do it for myself. If there is 50 people in the bar or 3 it doesn't matter to me. The feeling I get from singing gives me a sort of high. I'm never going to be a famous singer and don't care. It's like any hobby. You do it because you enjoy it. I like to play softball also, but don't think I'll ever be on the olympic team.

P.C.

I'm confused you say in your first post that you have a loving wife or 27 years and here you are chasing after a K.J.

Maybe that's the problem all along.

YOUR MARRIED, QUIT CHASING

L.W.

You know that caught my eye too

I just figured it was before he met his wife.

Thanks so much vicki! You just would not believe the support I have had. Hundreds of people who have just come out of nowhere to tell me they could not stand to see me hurt like I was. It is always great to have people stand by you when your world is crashing down. It doesn't hurt so bad anymore since I have been able to objectively look at what happened, what she was doing to me, and where she went. I am always open to find someone who will really want a cowboy like me. I do have a big heart and I do have a lot to give. I am just a good guy who would never even think of doing something like what was done to me. I believe in my committments. It's just the way I was raised. I just keep wondering if the good ones are all gone now! Maybe one of these days, someone will come along who really wants to know someone really cares about them. Until then, I have a lot of country music to sing, a lot of smiles to enjoy from beautiful women, and a lot of great friends like you who stand by me! Thank you so much!--Mike

Babs, I do it because I like it as well. It's nice to do so in front of people and get applause, but I do it at home too.

Ml_texas, yeah, I would get dates from the cute karaoke assistants, too. My friend who was the host was puzzled by this as he was much better looking than I. I just shrugged and said I don't know why either....still don't. He sure did try, though.

PC, did you expect the people here to just let your post slide by? You say some valid things, but it seems like you have a chip on your shoulder sometimes. I suggest just clean the sand out of your vag and have fun, and don't sweat the small stuff.

Gotta love those sweet smiles from those sweet country wimmin.

. I suggest just clean the sand out of your vag and have fun, and don't sweat the small stuff.

Lord, you're trippin' me out. I'm not gonna argue anymore about this, but you're the one who made the first offensive comment to me. If you thought my post was offensive, you should've avoided it.

Vicki, I read your little in between the lines comments also. I'm not blaming anybody for anything. You were obviously never a very good cyber-friend to begin with without a forgiving soul. I'm sorry we had our differences....but again, you attacked me first....remember?

Babs, you're just awesome....you could rip me to shreds and I'd say....thank you very much! I totally enjoyed that!

LW, you're totally right. But y'all gotta consider, we're talking over 25 years here! Most people don't make it through marriage for 1/2 of that time! Things were not going so well is why I might've been searching.

I notice most everyone replying to me here is older and maybe, not confirmed, wiser than me, so I'll take the criticism as positively as I can. But I will always defend myself when I have to. I wasn't flaming anyone here, but received personal responses as if I was? Have a nice day.

nah I didnt attack you Perry...I suggested you get a grip and take responibility instead of blaming anything and everything else for your woes perceived or imagined. You make victim a proffession and sorry I cant be your cyber friend cos I like to surround myself with positive people.
EVERONE has speedbumps in their lives from time to time. Pause for a moment, acknowledge life aint great then move on, stop trying to blame KS, SS, you feeling like you are a 2nd rate citizen because you have false teeth (I think I still have that email somewhere), people who didnt acknowledge your comment that you left on their sub, People who didnt pm you to say good job when you subbed listen only, the KJ who obviously didnt place such a huge store by your fondly recalled little intimate chats, your wife for not understanding your needs (poor woman if she has to listen to the rehash of everything you type here) Lordairguitar for giving you a reality check or ME for holding my hand up and saying NO SORRY PERRY I NO LONGER WISH TO PUT UP WITH YOUR WHINEY-ASS "POOR ME" CRAP ANY LONGER

Ohmygosh PC - can you not sing for the joy of singing? Reading how many stipulations you put on singing, I feel sad that you don't see music for what it is - a form of entertainment for yourself and others fortunate enough to share it with you - singing in your own voice because they are there to be with you.

When I hear music that I connect with, the joy of it just wells up in me and has to burst forth - out of my chest, out of my head out of my entire body. My friends feel the joy of it if it is a joyful song and the melancholy of it if it taps into the sadder moments of life. But whatever the gist of the song, it is wonderful, passionate and totally consuming. You don't have to be a good singer to touch someone else with it, you just have to feeeeel it. That is why I sing - to connect with the audience. They all may not listen because not all of them love music the same way. Some may be there to listen and others may be there just for the experience of being with other folks. Whatever, there is usually some person there (that I will probably never meet or even see again) that will feel that one song because of me. I have no plans to be a singing star. I have no agenda other than to share the music in me. What a high. After a night of singing it takes me hours to come down.

I used to be in a choir at work. The Director of our state department decreed there would be a Holiday Season choir. We decided we would have no tryouts, which meant we would probably have some folks joining the choir who were wonderful, some who could not sing as well as others and some who could not sing at all. You know what I've always found? Those who could not sing at all were every bit as important as those who were so sure of their own worth to the choir. The joy of being allowed to share their love of music put a smile on their face that I rarely saw on the 'wonderful' singer. Because of that, our choir grew each year. We started out singing in unison with about 10 folks performing for a few minutes in each of our 2 buildings. Then, because I knew their love of music would allow them to sing anything, I started choosing more intricate 4 part music. When the choir disbanded due to the retirement of most of its long time core members, we were 40 strong and singing for most of a week by request in all the state buildings including the State Capitol and local government buildings. Those people who "couldn't sing" were still inspiring everyone around them because of the magic of wanting to make music.

If joy rolls off you whether it is from making music or just living life, people will love being with you.

I loved that post jbsinger, that pretty much said it all..........

Thank you Vicki! I feel very blessed and fortunate to know such good people like you and others who are a part of SS! --Mike
