Day 109 = Running + WTF Is with Bonnie Tyler?

I went out for a run tonight and it probably wasn't the safest thing to do. It was about 9:30 when I started out. And dark. But it feels so good to run. And sometimes it's just nice to hear my breath.

I had my iPod with me and the song "Holdin' Out for a Hero" came on. I realized that Bonnie Tyler's hit songs that I know are all about her issues with men. Her Wikipedia entry doesn't say anything about relationships and being scorned. When I got divorced, somehow the song "Total Eclipse of the Heart" ended up on my MP3 player (which at the time was a DVD player). The picture here is of me fake singing the song into a hair brush on a night train to Prague in 2002. I could finally relate to this song. Every word of it. At 28 years old. It was on this trip (post-divorce) that I realized we were living in a powder keg and givin' off sparks in my marriage. I did, however, learn that Ms. Tyler is from Wales. You're welcome for the useless factoid.

Anyway, I was thinking about another song, "It's a Heartache." Well, yeah it is if you're so co-dependent on him, girlfriend! People are gonna let you down and that's OK. People are human.

So back to "Holdin' Out for a Hero." Again with the big dreams. I'm just holdin' out for a guy who can fix the cord on my ceiling fan. The song does have a good beat. I'll give her that.
