Why Everybody Wants Somebody?

[THOTH]

Sip - what kind of an Armenian are you? LOL

 

There is a great contrast between the way my Armenian side (family/relatives...etc) has always show their affection as opposed to my other (Northern European/mixed) side. My Armenian relatives were/are much more physically (and emotionally) affectionate...including - with some - that cheek thing...where your cheek can hurt the whole rest of the day...LOL (I find myself doing that now even sometimes [to my nephews & nieces and kids & such...]...LOL)

 

But its ashame that that doesn't do anything for you - as I find touch - even holding hands or a little hug etc to be such a positve thing that makes me feel good. Even some of my (male) friends and I hug when we see each other (no kissing...OK with some...[Europeean friends] we kliss cheeks & such...the French way...LOL]- and I think this is part of our closeness...our bond...and makes us closer - stronger friends and such. I think it is very important. And I think this is indicative of a problem for you - unable to be intimate. While you may deal OK with that now (it probably doesn't at all bother you I would guess)...I think at some point down the road you may crave/need this etc - and you may be unable to experience it...and this may really hurt you...

[THOTH]

wow, thoth you still think/lust about her??? but isn't that like cheating in your heart? i'm just wondering!! i'd die if my husband (someday!) thought of his girlfriends in that way!!! ~~~thoth, that made me sad just reading it~~~

Well - its not like I think about her all of the time...or even often..but yeah I do (at times...yes...)...and its (to a large part) indicative of the great love I had for her...and probably to some extent still do have....and I have some of these feelings about other gals I have known in my life too - to varying degrees (some more lust - some more love etc ...LOL...somewhat joking there...but perhaps some truth to it as well)...and I don't think that this lessens at all the love I have for my wife...not in the least (she is even very well aware of some of my feelings..towards certain ex's, others [very good long time friends...] and such - some of whom I even keep in contact with a bit...others who are my good friends even now...)....but thats just me - I have a very big heart...with room in it...for many - I think (I know)...LOL. And my wife is very cool - and understands me well - very well - and gives me a pretty good (amazing really) leash in a lot of ways...(a few years ago I even went up to another city to visit an ex [who is still a good friend - and was before we ever dated and such....though haven't seen her in a few years...] for the weekend and we went out clubbing and having fun together...all with my wifes blessing as it were...and we have both visited her together as well...she is a fun gal! LOL) . And I have no qualms whatsoever about my wife feeling and expressing these type of cares etc for others (we trust each other and are very open towards/with each other...maybe a recepie for martital success eh?)...and in fact we have remained friends with one of her (long time) ex's - and occasionally (as they are on the West coast) see and do things with him and his family (wife & [like aged] children). I don't have or see any problem with this at all....(so don't be sad!)

 

...and on the lust side...well guys lust about all kind of gals (all the time)...so nothing unusual there...LOL...and I know gals do to (regarding guys they see/know or what not...and movie stars and that sort of thing...etc)...perhaps it is different then how guys are/do (understood)...but not entirely and in many ways somewhat/very much the same...(and its all natural and in good fun)...so I see nothing at all wrong with it...(and particualry since I had such incredible experiences with her in particular [and we did some very crazy/fun things...!]...just thinking of things we did sometime can get me very worked up...LOL)

[Sip]

[...where your cheek can hurt the whole rest of the day...LOL (I find myself doing that now even sometimes [to my nephews & nieces and kids & such...]...LOL)

Look on the bright side ... you may be doing them a huge favor by helping them turn into little "me"s

 

But its ashame that that doesn't do anything for you - as I find touch - even holding hands or a little hug etc to be such a positve thing that makes me feel good.

 

For me, it's usually the opposite. The only "touch" I have never minded at all and actually crave at times is the occasional punch in the stomach or shoulder (or if they miss in the face) by one of the brothers But that usually involved very strong retaliations which feel just as good, if not better.

 

I think at some point down the road you may crave/need this etc - and you may be unable to experience it...and this may really hurt you...

 

Yah lots of unknowns and maybes in life... I just can't justify changing things now based on how I "may feel" a long time later down the road. I'll deal with that hurt much like I've dealt with other "hurt" that I have had so far when the time comes. That's what life is after all I think. Although I will admit that including foresight in current decisions can be VERY good thing to be able to do (or also disasterous at times).

[Sip]

Thoth, one thing to always keep in mind when you consider your regrets ... if you had done any of those things that you say you wish had done, it would probably have resulted in you developing in a very different person than you are today. So now the question is, what exactly would have been the differences ... and I simply don't believe EVERYTHING would have been better.

 

Often there is some good that comes out of even the biggest mistakes one can make.

[THOTH]

OK Sip - perhaps you are right of course...who is to know...not that any of it makes any difference now...what we chose and what we acted on i the past - well its already happened and cannot change (and yeah though - regrets...I have a few...hmm heard that somewhere before...and i am the type to run over past scenarious over and over and think what could I have done different etc...not good perhaps...but I can't help it...). And it really does suck getting old (even if for the most part I really don't feel all that much differently then I did when I was in my 20s...for the most part...physically/mentally [so far..] etc...)

 

And Sip - if we ever meet - well prepare youself...LOL...yeah I'm very touchy-feely (and I don't care if it makes you uncomfortable)...LOL...yeah - big (lobster claw like) pinch on the cheek comming up!

[Stormig]

The title of this thread reminds me of that song that goes "Everybody wants somebody sometime"/"... some place" and farther on you had "your love is well worth waiting - - - for someone, like youuuuuuuu"...

Sounds good but don't hug too hard (or pull my finger) ...

Hey wasn't that by Dean Martinian the famous Armenian dude from the 50s/60's?

[BitterSweet]

Sip

 

that's interesting... so do you ever feel the need to "want somebody?" .. and what kinda need is that to you?

[Sip]

Sip

Well, there was this one time around 3AM ... it was a pretty hot summer night ... I was walking along in one of the UCLA engineering cooridors going back to my office. I had a crumpled up napkin in my hand ... as I was walking along, I was passing by a trash can that was about, I don't know, maybe 10-12 feet away (that's ~4 meters for non US folk). So I said what the heck and did this AWESOME sideways hook shot with the right hand (trash can was to the left) as I was walking by quickly. It was NOTHING BUT CAN!!!! The sweetest shot I have ever made and that's when I looked around ... there was NO ONE to see that! I made the greatest single shot of my life and no one saw it. Not even the janitor (absolutely true story by the way).

 

So now, joking aside, there are plenty of times during the day that a healthy 27 year old male "wants" somebody, and I'm sure the other guys would back me up on this. But at least in my case, it's rarely due to "emotional want" reasons. So I guess that may shed some light on the "need" part.

 

On a related note, I find myself checking forums like this quite often at times. I find them to be a great way to get some of the "stuff" out of my system that only other humans would understand and/or appreciate. The other benefit of a forum like this is that you are not commited to anything. You are free to come and go as you please, when you please, and most often, you won't be missed if you don't come back ... in other words, NO PRESSURE what so ever. Furthermore, there is almost no "cost" associated to switching from whatever you are doing to a forum like this and then switching back to work.

Uh!! - you started a single line of a song running through my head, but I couldn't remember anything else of it except "everybody wants somebody sometime". To get it out I had a look at www.lyricmania.com to try and find the song - but nothing is listed under that title. But, nearby, I did notice Leonard Cohen's "Everybody knows"

 

Everybody knows that the dice are loaded

Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed

Everybody knows that the war is over

Everybody knows the good guys lost

Everybody knows the fight was fixed

The poor stay poor, the rich get rich

That's how it goes

Everybody knows

Everybody knows that the boat is leaking

Everybody knows that the captain lied

Everybody got this broken feeling

Like their father or their dog just died

 

Which lead me to the page for Leonard Cohen...

 

And there are no letters in the mailbox

and there are no grapes upon the vine,

and there are no chocolates in the boxes anymore,

and there are no diamonds in the mine.

 

Now see what you have done, I hope you're happy! Coz I won't be if this prompts me to blow the dust off all my copies of LC's old albums and play them for the first time in about a decade!

 

PS

 

None of this helped find the song I was originally looking for. Then I realised that the line I was remembering wasn't "everybody wants somebody sometime" but "everybody's got to learn sometime". It's by a 1980s band named The Korgis

 

EVERYBODY'S GOT TO LEARN SOMETIME

 

Change your heart

Look around you

Change your heart

It will astound you

 

I need your loving like the sunshine

And everybody's got to learn sometime

Everybody's got to learn sometime

Everybody's got to learn sometime

 

Change your heart

Look around you

Change your heart

It will astound you

Bell, I went thru my collection, and look what I found

I like the Rolling Stones version better

I'm so glad to be here tonight and I'm so glad to be home.

And I believe I've got a message for every woman and every man here tonight that ever needed somebody to love

You know, sometimes you get what you want

And then you go and lose what you have

And I believe every woman and every man here tonight listen to my song

And it save the whole world.

Listen to me.

You gotta need too, baby

See you through

Gotta be two to see it thru

[Sip]

Ahhhhh memories

Well, now look what YOU did

 

M-M-M-M-Memories light the corners of my mind

Misty water-colored mem'ries of the way we were

 

Scattered pictures of the smiles we left behind

Smiles we gave to one another for the way we were.

 

Can it be that it was all so simple then

Or has time rewritten every line

If we had the chance to do it all again, tell me, would we, could we

 

Memories may be beautiful and yet

What's too painful to remember we simply choose to forget

So it's the laughter we will remember

Whenever we remember the way we were.

 

The way we were.

[Stormig]

EVERYBODY LOVES SOMEBODY

Dean Martin

- words and music by Irving Taylor and Ken Lane

 

Everybody loves somebody sometime

Everybody falls in love somehow

Something in your kiss just told me

That sometime is now

 

Everybody finds somebody someplace

There's no telling where love may appear

Something in my heart keeps saying

My someplace is here

 

If I had it in my power

I'd arrange for every girl to have you charms

Then every minute, every hour

Everybody would find what I found in your arms

 

Everybody loves somebody sometime

And though my dreams were overdue

Your love made it all worth waiting

For someone like you

 

 

If I had it in my power

I'd arrange for every girl to have you charms

Then every minute, every hour

Everybody would find what I found in your arms

 

Everybody loves somebody sometime

And though my dreams were overdue

Your love made it all worth waiting

For someone like you

OK - let's add another -

 

 

 

 

Anybody Seen My Baby (M.Jagger/K.Richards/K.D. Lang/B. Mink)

She confessed her love to me

Then she vanished on the breeze

Trying to hold on to that

Was just impossible

 

She was more than beautiful

Closer to ethereal

With a kind of down to earth flavor

 

Close my eyes

It's three in the afternoon

Then I realize

That she's really gone for good

 

Anybody seen my baby

Anybody seen her around

Love has gone and made me blind

I've looked but I just can't find

She has gotten lost in the crowd

 

I was flippin' magazines

In that place on Mercer Street

When I thought I spotted her

 

Getting on a motor bike

Looking rather lady like

Didn't she just give me a wave?

 

Salty tears

It's three in the afternoon

Has she disappeared

Is she really gone for good

 

Anybody seen my baby

Anybody seen her around

If I just close my eyes

I reach out and touch the prize

Anybody seen her around

 

Anybody seen my baby

Anybody seen her around

If I just close my eyes

I reach out and touch the prize

Anybody seen her around

 

Lost, lost and never found

I must have called her a thousand times

Sometimes I think she's just in my imagination

 

Lost in the crowd

[THOTH]

OK - enough of the sappy stuff (yet still, perhaps along the same lines...well it is somewhat on topic..)...LOL

 

Van halen -

 

Everybody Wants Some!!

 

You can't get romantic on a subway line.

Conductor don't like it, says you're wastin' your time.

But ev'rybody wants some.

I want some too.

Ev'rybody wants some.

Baby, how 'bout you?

I seen a lotta people lookin' for a moonbeam.

Yeah, ya spent a lot. Ya got lost in the jet-stream.

But ev'rybody wants some.

I want some too.

Ev'rybody wants some.

Baby, how 'bout you?

I like the way the line runs up the back of the stockings.

I've always liked those kind of high heels too. You know, I...

No no no no, don't take 'em off, don't take... Leave 'em on, leave 'em on.

Yeah, that's it, a little more to the right, a little more....

Ev'rybody wants some.

I want some too.

Ev'rybody wants some.

Baby, how 'bout you?

Ev'rybody wants some.

Ev'rybody needs some.

Ev'rybody wants some.

Ev'rybody needs some.

While we're at it:

 

Frank Sinatra: All by myself

 

When I was young

I never needed anyone

And makin’ love was just for fun

Those days are gone

 

Livin’ alone

I think of all the friends I’ve known

But when I dial the telephone

Nobody’s home

 

All by myself

Don’t wanna be, all by myself anymore

All by myself

Don’t wanna live, all by myself anymore

 

Hard to be sure

Some times I feel so insecure

And love so distant and obscure

Remains the cure

[ED]

so to finalize this trend it’s nice to add/finish it with Nat King Cole

 

The Greatest thing in life is to love, and be loved in retur~~~~~~~n

 

 

May Eros struck you with an arrow

[Arpa]

As long as we're talking about that great philosopher. Ole Blue Eyes, why don't we go "All The Way". Why is he using the masculine pronoun "he"?

 

Artist: Frank Sinatra

All the Way

Frank Sinatra

Writer(s): Cahn/van Heusen

 

When somebody loves you

It's no good unless he loves you - all the way

Happy to be near you

When you need someone to cheer you - all the way

 

Taller than the tallest tree is

That's how it's got to feel

Deeper than the deep blue see is

That's how deep it goes - if its real

 

When somebody needs you

It's no good unless he needs you - all the way

Through the good or lean years

And for all the in between years - come what may

 

Who know where the road will lead us

Only a fool would say

But if you'll let me love you

It's for sure I'm gonna love you - all the way, all the way

[Sip]

Nairi .. DAMN YOU Now I got STUPID saline dion going through my head ... AHHHHHHH (never heard the Sinatra version)

[Sip]

This is my updated version of that "Sinatra" song (that's how I actually sing the Saline Dion version in the car):

 

When I was young

I never needed anyone

And upgrading was just for fun

Those days are gone

 

Livin’ alone

Think of all the hardware I’ve known

But I don't even have a phone

Got DSL at home

 

All by myself

I wanna be, all by myself evermore

All by myself

I wanna live, all by myself evermore

 

Hard to be sure

No firewall is so insecure

And love so distant and obscure

Norton's the cure

[Azat]

Oh please why would anyone listen to that monkey ass(Celine Dion) when there is the Sinatra version

[THOTH]

Well...why would anyone listen to Sinatra...when there is Aznavour! LOL

[Azat]

OH Thoth you have found the key to my hearth. If only you were a woman I would pay for your dinners all the time.

[DominO123]

Oh please why would anyone listen to that monkey ass(Celine Dion) when there is the Sinatra version

That monkey ass Celine even uses sick children to make publicity. I am disgusted to even explain that. So I'll let Vava doing that.(that was out of subject I know... but I had to say it).
