Welcome to the other side
It's lookin' quite different now
Lookin' like the world's upside down
I guess this is what change feel like, yeah (Uh)
Now I've changed, not the same again, got no time for fakes
Don't be comin' here and tell me how you helpin' me
You don't even know what I'm dealin' with inside
Are you helpin' me when my mind is homicide
Man the devil's busy knockin' tryin' to get inside
But I'll never let that happen coz I'm with the Christ
Told you that I'll meet you on the other side
I was walkin' on water seein' the storms of life (Uh)
Now I'm feelin' stronger yeah my life is purified
This is so precious what I have now got inside
And I'll never sell my soul tryna reach the high
Independently I'm gonna be me till I die (Let's get it)
I ain't changin' who I am just for bunch of guys
I will always be a servant of the most high (Most high)
How can you gimme your money and just take my soul
I would no longer be livin' coz my soul is gone
Welcome to the other side
It's lookin' quite different now
Lookin' like the world's upside down

Welcome to the other side (Welcome to the other side, yeah)
It's lookin' quite different now
Lookin' like the world's upside down
I guess this is what change feel like
Even though I'm not used to the changes here
They're helpin' me to turn into a better man
I will surely be the thinker and just make a plan
And go fly above my problems like a superman
Feelin' like the gravity can't hold me too long
Livin' high above the clouds that's where I belong (Belong)
Gravity can never limit me I'm Armstrong
Walkin' on the moon and slidin' by myself on top
Other side, other side
I am prolly gonna be alright
I'm free from all the voices that were right inside my mind
I feel like these days I'm high, but I ain't even takin' drugs
When you meet me just say "Hi"
Coz I'm still humbled like those times
Other side, other side, yeah, yeah
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh




Other side, other side, yeah, yeah
Oh, oh, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah

Time to Wear a Miraculous Medal
Miraculous Medal 5
The Miraculous Medal is a special medal design based on mystical visions of St. Catherine Labouré in the 19th century. It’s a popular devotional item and is associated with miracles and conversions.



1) I am being reminded daily to “listen to my Mother”.
Almost 200 years ago Our Blessed Mother instructed Saint Catherine Laboure to “have a medal struck upon this model. Those who wear it will receive great graces, especially if they wear it around their neck.” Our Blessed Mother also told Catherine, “Now it must be given to the whole world and to every person.” For almost two hundred years this message has been available to us.

2) It’s Known as the “Miraculous Medal” for a Reason, and I Love a Miracle!
When the medal first came into being, it was called the Medal of the Immaculate Conception. In less than ten years it became known as the Miraculous Medal because of the many graces and wonders that quickly became associated with wearing it. According to one source, between 1930 and 1950, more than 750,000 favors were granted and registered in just the city of Philadelphia alone.

Our Blessed Mother wants us to ask her for prayers. Our Lord wants us to go to Him and tell him what is on our minds and in our hearts. Having this medal around our necks at all times is a constant reminder to pray. And as Mary promised, those who wear it will receive great graces.

3) Heroic Men and Women Have Worn It and Encouraged Others to Wear It
Two particular individuals come to mind: St. Maximillian Kolbe and Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta. Before St. Maximillian courageously gave his life for another man, he started a movement and an organization, known in English as the Knights of the Immaculata. He made the Miraculous Medal the insignia of the group and had each member wear the medal. He said it was a “silver bullet” against evil.

Mother Teresa of Calcutta, known for her charitable work throughout the world, called it a “medal of charity” and gave it out by the hand full. She said that the medal is a sign that God loves each and every individual at each and every moment of our lives.

4) It’s a Reminder to Ask for Help
The images on the medal were designed by the Blessed Mother and spoken to St. Catherine Laboure. Our Blessed Mother said that the rays coming from some of her fingers demonstrate the graces God gives through her to those who ask and are open.

There are some fingers where no rays are shown. Mary said that is to demonstrate the graces that are not given because they were not requested of her. Just another reminder of Matthew 7:7; “Ask and it shall be given to you”.

5) It’s a Symbol of What’s Most Important
If signs and symbols are important for the lesser things, why not show my enthusiasm for the greatest blessing of all – faith in Our Lord and the love of our Mother.

@@MrAce607 my roots are so opposing and other than I was exposed to young teenage parents that were just the right age to be summer of love Beatles, Three Dog Night, ect but by the time I was old enough to start being influenced or could able to have the this moves me or remember that this is more than music this is a spiritual or addictive vibe I'm feeling I had already at maybe 5-6 experienced a deeper inspiration from certain sounds voices sounds than my adult parents were ever able to understand. They unfortunately had made a house hold change to the early 70s country and western and on rear occasion I would hear something that would just hit that spot but most of the time I would think that stinks. I found a box in a coat closet and it was full of 45s immediately I was told not to drag those out there getting tossed. I saw one with Green Apples on it and a few with a dog with patches. I begged for a couple days swore to find a neat place in my room and would play them on my broke up wobbly third hand turn table.
In that box was the most beautiful most moving the greatest voiced and some other songs that made me unable to keep from moving.
I heard the perfect harmony and youthful energy of the Beatles and I thought if this is in a box why are they listening to Hee Haw stuff on the radio they must not like that goose bump feeling I get. Then after seriously a couple hours of two non stop Beatles I put another one on and imediately I thought I'm not going to like this. And after a couple chorus rounds of No you don't know me!!!!
Bam like a gut punch I heard the first single voice that took that my breath felt like a hug from God and after two plays I still couldn't recall anything butthat smooth voice from heaven. I remember the ladys a little and when that voice came out that little speaker I couldn't tell you if it was guitar or piano violin just the rich from the soul voice of Ray Charles you don't know me. That is so different from those young guys and harmony It was kinda more like Hee Haw stuff but I never felt the pain and sadness from head to toe from a voice. Didn't really recall the words but no need his voice expressed sadness and pain I have no doubt it a sad song. By age 8 and being an abused child raised in fear alcoholism drug abuse and a almost daily physical beatings that consisted of my ninth baby tooth was the first one I got to pull the first eight were slapped out by one three tooth loss for eating to loudly and four were the result of being thrown into a refrigerator for getting in his way and one well just a bitch slap for not setting still enough during a hair cut to the ungodly documented events unheard of in today's world without intervention. My first hospitalization and life long physical scaring event consisted of 64 vivid belt shaped laserations several required a stitch or two three were so hard on a 7 year old stomach that they required a horseshoe shaped set of over 20 stitches. The one that did the most physical damage was a misfire and as the buckle came out of his hand he hit himself in the nuts only enraging him to keep swinging but the buckle first tore part of my ear away from my head the next broke a rib another put staples on my scalp and the last broke my eye socket left cheek bone dislodged my eye and tore my retina. I had been taken to their bed room and the door was locked. See I had done the ultimate sin. Mom purchased a hand held easy to use hair layering comb. Aka the scalping torture device. It was brutal as hell and God only knows I tried to be still and I begged to just have it cut but you ungrateful little bastard you get something special bought just so you can look nice and neat but you don't care about anyone else or what we have up at 16 just instead of thinking about how much better off our lives would be if we said suck his brains out and flush him. Its a goddamn shame we couldn't have known what a selfish bastard you would be. Crying and begging I'm sorry momma please nope I will let him know he will be here in about 15 minutes I bet he can cut that retarted alfalfa cowlick so you don't go to school looking like some inbred retard and that only makes me look bad. Please do it. My God I am 55 but I am a life long powerlifter bodybuilder I am old lol but 6'1 and still about 280 I've been in jail hell you name it but expressing the fear that 430 pm bought me for e thousand years from the age of 5 to about 15. And my old scared up been stabbed gang beat, been imprisoned had worked the doors or private security for some of the unfit for humanity places. And I set here shaking and I am soaked with perspiration and I 50 yrs later can still taste the fear in the air, I can still feel my gut draw up and the true to God prayers fot for you to please zap me kill me and please don't send me to hell God. I don't want to be so evil please God you know I ask every night to be able to be better. You know if I have a chance to choose I always want to do good. If it's a bad one God please just let it kill me but only if you don't put me in hell.
I am now pissing every three or four minutes I have been throwing up all while mom says your so gd stupid and nasty puking won't help you. You see there were a few kinds of your ass Is mine things you could do.
If I can hear you crunch chew or slurp you are going to hear your ass get slapped out in the floor. Your not a dog or horse I can't stand it and it won't happen at my table.
There was the Pop most time a grown ass man bitch slap delivered to a skinny pail sickly little scared boy
Now we get to better not happen. Do you know how hard how long and how many hours I have to work so you can have it fucking made. You live in a nice house ride in a nice car cover your ass in nice clothes. Unless the house is on fire or Jesus himself actually talks back to you im person and says I need you to go get your dad. If my mom or dad comes here and needs me your mom needs help an atomic Bomb alarm no we are dead I am tired. But by God almighty if you do flips and knock a lamp over, if you forget that with your head phones on you sing that screaming hippie shit and bang on the guitar. My sleep feeds you.
But the one that was unwritten unspoken but dangerous even could be deadly. If I have to hear her fucking bitching mouth if I work 16 hrs and drive in half dead and get greeted by a bitching mouthy woman on my ass because you won't mind or act right I will stomp you into bone meal.
I deeply apologize for the rambling but I am certain that I survived and was able to go a thousand miles away and hide inside the places, the emotions, and even could Take a trip back in time to a land of castles and wizards Robert and Jimmie with those so unique so powerful drums it all allowed me to close my eyes and I could actually believe I was able to imagine exactly what they were trying to express. Or Led Zeppelin could keep it real and to me say "Whole Lotta Love". It was beginning in theory and with more expression more pow in the 50s this Rock and Roll and Little Richard and Jerry Lee Chuck and Johnnie B, from the beginning It would make you want to move but nothing like dance. A power a vibration a stomp on the floor. But by the apex of Zeppelin to most it was clear hear is that perfect example of "Rock and Roll" true and pure. A Whole Lotta and that perfect combination of exactly what without over lapping of generals or awesome groups that had several different categories or styles. But the true no doubt Greatest Rock and Roll band of all time only my opinion is without a second thought
Not band, not the most talented band that also played Rock and Roll not metal and hell not Pop.
This is why I am alive. The only place I could go to escape if only in thought or through endless hours and hours a ten year old sears and roebuck yard sale guitar and trying so hard to make one more sound like Prince Song I found. Eventually it expand new sounds different styles. These Eagles are kinda country but damn they sure jam and they talent was to me so clearly heard from the angelic hormones and those timeless words. Now at fourteen or fifteen it would make me sick to be summons to the house. Hey Kevin I would know the routine. He has never once ask me to play him a song or ever really knew me and guitar had been coming along but now it just sucks to be put on display like his pride and joy they would tell him how rare it is to just have that kind of self taught guitar picking and singing. I felt like a in prostitute he was the pimp his ego boost the cost bullshit to me. Even once being dumb enough to ask if he wanted to hear this song I had been learning now I have it down Pat. He said why In the fuck would he want to set around on his rare day off and do that stupid shit. I said ok but I am not the house band or the center of attention to be brought out so you can tell them about me. I have something that you have no right to you didn't even know I played you tell them how a year or so ago I just picked it up and took off . That would make me the future greatest of all time I've put in hours and hours a day for ten years. I know you plan on my speaking up getting me a good one. Im almost sixteen and I'm sure I will get hurt but from today till you say leave or you wake up and I'm gone. You have to fight me to ever hit kick push. I will do what I am told I will not disrespect you but you won't hit me ever again unless you want to have to fight me



@Yoder023

I love you mom. More than words could describe.

You were everything:
My mother, father, guardian, friend when there was literally none. You taught me everything from controlling my anger to expressing emotions to protecting me from further abuse to learning to trust.

You deserved much more than what life dealt you, but I know 1 thing that makes me smile always,

I'll see you on the other side.
Love you

Hold me ,Hold me tight , I’m falling, Far away , distant voices calling I’m so cold, I need you darling, yeah

My dad passed away last night. The biggest Ozzy fan you’d ever meet. He always bragged about how he got to talk to the Ozzman on a radio show while on a payphone, standing out in the rain (he was a truck driver and was on the road at the time). I always knew one day I would be dedicating this song to him. That day is today. R.I.P. dad, I miss you so much. Thank you for everything.
