What If....

So I'm thinking, just kinda wondering, really...
What if you found out you were wrong? About everything? Hmm? I mean, I know you think you were right, you were justified, but I don't think, I prefer not to think, you're that stupid. There's gotta be a glimmer in there somewhere about how that train got derailed. And I understand you painted yourself into a corner with your friends, your family, I don't care, I mean, I'd rather not be 'dissed' (did I get it right that time?) but I understand you have to live with them now, I don't.
But what if you were wrong? Entirely? I mean, if you realized it, would you ever acknowledge it? How would you? What would you do if you realized you were wrong tomorrow? In a month? In 5 years?
I just wonder what you think sometimes, what it was worth to you. Obviously not a lot, but that whole thing, was, well....
And afterwards, when you sent me that email with the Monday deadline - that was when I got pissed off. I mean, really pissed off. The whole bit where you were staying with your parents, "afraid", according to Mom, that was sad and pathetic, maybe a necessary drama to justify some extraordinary behaviours, but the high tone you took in that email, well, that pissed me off.
By the way, I'm not wrong. I won't bring it up again, I know when I'm wrong, I apologize, I do what I can to make things right. Sometimes nothing can be done, but I acknowledge my error. I'm not wrong in this.
Another Saturday Night...

Hey Baby!,
What'cha up to? Good night last night, out again tonight, or is it a kid weekend?
Thanks, by the way, for packing the "Muse - Origin of Symmetry" CD. I know I probably killed it, still listening to it...boy pleads for mercy, but that just means "Play it louder!".
"Everything about you is how I wanna be
Your freedom comes naturally
Everything about you resonates happiness
Now I won't settle for less
Give me all the peace and joy in your mind
Everything about you pains my envying
Your soul can't hate anything
Everything about you is so easy to love
They're watching you from above ..."
Followed by...
The underneath is no big surprise
Now it's time for changing
And cleansing everything
To forget your love"

You remember, the puppet-master? Until November 1st or so...saw it in FFWD.
Long drive...If I get the tickets, will you get the gas? Can you get a sitter for Thursday?
"Billy Twinkle is a middle-aged cruise ship puppeteer who dazzles audiences with his Stars in Miniature marionette niteclub act. His saucy burlesque stripper Rusty titillates the tourists, octogenarian Bunny invokes sidesplitting laughter with the inflatable balloon in his pants, Bumblebear juggles and roller-skates and steals the hearts of every audience, and society dame Biddy Bantam Brewster brings a bit of highbrow hilarity to the high seas with her drunken aria. Billy is the best in the business and on top of the world as he floats along through life.
Until he is fired by the cruiseline. Standing at the edge of the ship contemplating a watery demise, Billy is abruptly called back to reality when his dead mentor Sid Diamond appears as a hand puppet. Sid literally will not leave his side, and forces Billy to re-enact his life as a puppet show in order to remember and rekindle the passion Billy once had for puppets, people and the dream of a life that sparkles.
For anyone stuck in the middle – mid-career, mid-love, mid-life - caught between our own past and future, this requiem for a golden boy shines a little light on the wonder of youth meeting the wisdom of age with a kick in the pants to finish what we started."
Baby! It's us...
