Can't somebody please ban me forever with some smirky reason like "Get a job" (OK, I have one) or "spend more time with your children" (Which my job currently prevents by me again sitting alone in a hotel)...
Here I am, on the road again,
There I am, upon the stage,
Here I go, playing star again,
There I go, turn the page...

Well, at least nobody sees me shed a tear about a dog. Which was part of our family for 12 years and now had to die because of lung cancer. Its easier to be alone and have the space for it, than to be with customers and be professional, but its much harder to be far away and alone then, compared to having your family around. And its pretty annoying to feel painfully sad, when I am thinking about the memories that made me laugh last week and at the same time I know that those times are again over. I would prefer trading the time for posting this for just having some minutes to play with him again. But damn, I can't. The time is gone again.
