So, troops, go on out there and be nice till you can't be nice no more. Cressida PS Really, I'm not as much of a flake as I come off around here. Sorry for the length, but here it is. First of all, not that it has anything to do with anything, I am old enough to be the parent of most of the people on this list. After a disastrous marriage and divorce, I promised myself that I would never be unhappy in a relationship again.
Life's too short to be miserable.
I had been involved in a long term relationship with an extremely nice woman, but there was something lacking. She did not grow up as a music addict, and consequently did not share my insatiable desire to listen to music, tour etc. IMHO, the music bug is something that you are born with, or is ingrained early in life. While she never interfered with my music, I eventually realized that I missed the musical companionship, and that I was unable to share many of those special moments in my personal life with the one that I loved. After much soul searching I realized that I would never be truly happy in that relationship, and I broke it off.
