HI MARLO, PHIL, PATTY AND JOHN. ( IM USING CAPS TO HIGHTLIGHT MY WORDS NOT YELL ) AND BY THE WAY, WHOEVER IT WAS THAT GOT EVERYONE THINKING THAT WHENEVER SOMEONE USES CAPITALS IN THEIR COMMENTARIES IS "YELLING"???? IS A SERIOUS MORON! OK, IM HERE BECAUSE I JUST HEARD THIS AUDIO SESSION, AND I DONT KNOW IF IT IS A COINCIDENCE OR NOT? BUT LAST NIGHT I STUMBLED UP AN OLD VIDEO OF "BANDS UNITED" AND SAW PATTY GET BACK TOGETHER WITH THE REMAINING FORMER MEMBERS OF SCANDAL, AND COULD SEE A LOT IN PATTY. I WAS A TEENAGER IN THE 80s AND REMEMBER WHEN SCANDAL FIRST CAME ON MTV, AND I WATCHED THOSE VIDEOS ( THOUGHT PATTY WAS INCREDIBLY SEXY WITH A BIG TOUGH ATTITUDE ) AND I LIKED HER! I THOUGHT THE MUSIC WAS OK, BUT BEING A MUSICIAN MYSELF, AND OLDER FOR MY YEARS, I WAS ABLE TO SEE THROUGH MTV AND THE MUSIC BUISSNESS AND THE CRAP MUSICIANS AND BANDS HAD TO GO THROUGH, AND KNEW A LOT OF THE BANDS WERE JUST PUT TOGETHER TO MAKE A LOT OF MONEY, OR THE LEAD SINGER WAS PICKED OUT AND A BAND PUT TOGETHER TO BACK THEM, TO MAKE A LOT OF MONEY FOR THE RECORD COMPANIES. IT WAS A LOT OF BULLSHIT AND I KNEW IT, BUT SOMEHOW ALL THE MUSIC WAS GREAT! SO I UNDERSTOOD ALL OF THESE THINGS, AND CONTINUED GROWING UP. PATTY WENT ON TO SOME SOLO SUCCESS THEN THE 9Os CAME AND THERE WAS SUDDENLY NO MORE GREAT BANDS, NO MORE GREAT MUSIC AND NO MORE RECORD COMPANIES! : / IT WAS A REAL WTF MOMENT! I HAD ALSO HEARD OF JOHN WHEN I WAS IN MIDDLE SCHOOL, I WASNT INTO TENNIS, I PLAYED FOOTBALL AND HOCKEY, AND WAS REALLY INTO MUSIC, BUT ALL THE ATHLETES I KNEW, ALL KNEW ABOUT JOHN MCENROE. HE WAS FAMOUS MORE FOR HIS SPOILED BRATT ATTITUDE AND HIS DISTAIN FOR REFS THAN HE WAS FOR HIS TENNIS ABILITIES.. MAKING COMMERCIALS THROUGH THE 80s THAT ONLY FOCUSED ON THAT BRATTYNESS DIDNT HELP HIM ANY.. AND WELL, WHAT IM DOING HERE IS TO SAY THAT I COMPLETELY WHOLE HEARTEDLY DISAGREE WITH ANYONE WHO SAYS "OPPOSITES" ATTRACT! YES, SEXUALLY THEY DO! THERE IS AN ALMOST INSANE PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY AND ATTRACTION BETWEEN OPPOSITES AT TIMES. BUT IT NEVER WORKS BECAUSE ITS NOT RIGHT! IM A NON CHURCH GOING OR RELIGIOUS IN ANY WAY ( CHRISTIAN ) MEANING I ACCEPTED JESUS CHRIST INTO MY HEART, ASKED FOR FORGIVENESS OF MY SINS AND REPENTED AND WANTED TO BE RECONNECTED WITH GOD OUR FATHER WHO CREATES US ALL! I KNOW BECAUSE I KNOW GOD, AND JESUS, THAT GOD OUR FATHER MAKES PEOPLE FOR PEOPLE. HE MADE MAN FIRST, THAN HE SAW MAN NEEDED A PARTNER AND HE CREATED WOMAN FOR MAN! THIS IS WHY THERE IS SO MANY PROBLEMS BETWEEN MEN AND WOMEN, BECAUSE WOMEN ARE HERE FOR MEN SPECIFICALLY! THEY ARE MOTHERS, THEY ARE HOMEMAKERS THEY ARE THE BRAINS OF THE PARTNERSHIP! THEY ARE SMARTER THAN MOST MEN TOO! BUT! MEN ARE DOMINENT AND WOMEN ARE SUBMISSIVE. BUT SOCIETY HAS BEEN RECONDITIONING EVERYONE AND TRYING TO MAKE EVERYTHING EQUAL ( EVENTHOUGH THEY KNOW MEN AND WOMEN ARE NOT EQUAL ) EQUAL IN HUMAN BEINGS YES. EQUAL IN GODS CHILDREN YES. EQUAL IN MIND, BODY, INSTINCT, SPIRIT AND SOUL? NO! I KNOW FOR EVERY MALE GOD MAKES? HE MAKES A FEMALE COUNTER PART FOR HIM! AND HE FOR HER! THE PROBLEM IS AGAIN, OUR WORLD AND SOCIETY! WE LIVE IN A GODLESS, EVIL WORLD, AND WE ARE ALL BORN CUT OFF FROM GOD. HE IS NOT CUT OFF FROM ANY OF US, BUT WE ARE CUT OFF FROM HIM ON PURPOSE! THIS LIFE IS A TEST! YES, SIMPLY A TEST FOR ALL OF US, INDIVIDUALLY, ALL AT THE SAME TIME. ( BECAUSE WE ARE ALL CO DEPENDENT OF EACH OTHER TO SOME DEGREE ) THE "TEST" IS? WHO AMONG US WANT TO BE RECONNECT WITH GOD? AND LIVE ACCORDING TO HIS WAYS? AND WHO DOES NOT? THAT IT IS.. AND IF YOU LOOK AROUND YOU WILL THIS IN EVERY TIME IN HISTORY SINCE THE VERY BEGINNING. THERE IS GOOD AND THERE IS BAD! THERE IS NO MIDDLE! WE CANT DO GOOD WITHOUT GOD AND WE CANT DO BAD WITH GOD! BUT THAT IS OUR INDIVIDUAL CHOICE TO MAKE FOR OURSELVES. SO GETTING BACK TO YOUR MARRIAGE PATTY AND JOHN? ITS REALLY NONE OF MY BUISSNESS, BUT SINCE YOU ARE PUTTING IT OUT HERE FOR THE WORLD TO HEAR ABOUT AND KNOW ABOUT, I AM GOING TO SAY WHAT I HAVE TO SAY ABOUT IT. PATTY AND JOHN? YOU ARE NOT EACH OTHERS SOULMATES! IF YOU WERE? THERE WOULD NEVER HAVE TO BE ANY "COMPROMISE"! PATTY? YOU ARE A MUSICIAN AND SHOULD BE WITH ANOTHER MUSICIAN. BECAUSE YOU NEED TO HAVE MUSIC IN YOUR LIFE AT ALL TIMES. ( I KNOW THAT BECAUSE I AM ALSO A MUSICIAN AND I DO TOO AND I CANT BE WITH ANYONE WHO DOESNT LOVE OR NEED MUSIC IN THEIR LIVES EITHER ) AND JOHN? YOU ARE A BASIC MAN! YOU ARE A SPOILED BRATT! ( MAYBE YOU HAVE MATURED A BIT OVER THE YEARS, BUT BASICALLY THAT IS WHAT YOU ARE ) I SAY THIS RESPECTFULLY TOO JOHN, YOU WERE GOOD AT TENNIS, YOU PURSUED IT, AND YOU BECAME A PRO. YOU BECAME VERY RICH ( SOCIETY PAID YOU OBSCENE AMOUNTS OF MONEY TO "PLAY A GAME OF PING BASICALLY"! ) THROUGH THAT, YOU BECAME A FAMOUS PERSON AND WERE ABLE TO GET ON TV, MAKE COMMERCIALS AND GET INTO THE PUBLICS EYE ( MOST PEOPLE ARE NOT TENNIS FANS ) THERE ARE MANY, BUT COMPARED TO THE 19 MILLION PEOPLE LIVING IN NEW YORK? NO, THERE ARE NOT THAT MANY! BUT REGARDLESS, YOU BECAME A RICH FAMOUS "ATHLETE" AND ARE LIVING AMONG THE "ELITES"... YOUR SOCIAL CIRCLES ARE AMONG THE ELITES.. ETC.. THAT IS YOU.. YOU SAW PATTY, A BEAUTIFUL SEXY, FANTASTIC WOMAN, AND SAID, " I WANT HER" . BUT! YOU DIDNT REALLY "SEE PATTY" YOU JUST SAW THE SEXY FEMALE SHE WAS, AND! SHE WAS ALSO FAMOUS AND RICH AND A CELEBRITY OF SORTS TOO! THE THING WAS THOUGH, SHE PROBABLY WASNT PRETENTIOUS AND LOOKING FOR ANYONES MONEY! SO THIS HAD TO BE A KICK FOR YOU! BUT YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE PROBABLY JUST GOING TO HAVE FUN WITH HER FOR AWHILE? LOL.. BUT THEN SHE MADE IT CLEAR ( MOST LIKELY ) THAT SHE WASNT GOING TO ALLOW THAT, AND BEFORE YOU BOTH KNEW IT, YOU BOTH WERE GOING TO HAVE A BABY AND PATTY WAS MOVING IN WITH YOU! LOL... THAT IS NOT "LOVE"... AND IM CERTAIN YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH EACH OTHER IS NOT COMPLETELY LOVE.. BUT, AGAIN, THAT IS BOTH YOUR CHOICES.. THE FACT THAT YOU BOTH LET EACH OTHER BE "WHO YOU EACH ARE"? ALLOW EACH OTHER TO "DO THEIR THINGS", "GO ON TOURS OR SEPARATE VACATIONS"???? SHOULD MAKE YOU BOTH SEE THAT IF ANY OTHER PARTS OF YOUR RELATIONSHIP DONT ALREADY MAKE YOU SEE IT! PATTY ALSO KEEP JOHN IN THE "PUBLICS EYE" BECAUSE A SEXY FEMALE ROCK STAR WILL ALWAYS TRUMP A PRO TENNIS PLAYER FROM A LONG TIME AGO! ( AGAIN, NO OFFENSE JOHN ) I JUST THINK YOU JOHN PLANNED THIS! AND I THINK PATTY GOT BLINDSIDED, AND I THINK THAT IS NOT RIGHT! SO I AM SAYING WHAT I THINK AND FEEL.. I HOPE EVERYONE ELSE REALIZES WHAT I AM SAYING HERE FOR THEMSELVES, AND REFUSES TO "SETTLE".. BECAUSE THERE IS NOTHING WORSE THAN LIVING YOUR LIFE KNOWING YOU ARE NOT BEING WHO YOU REALLY ARE, AND YOU ARE NOT DOING THE THINGS YOU KNOW INSIDE YOURSELF YOU NEED TO BE DOING EVERY DAY YOU ARE HERE, AND THAT YOU ARE GOING TO BED AND WAKING UP WITH AND LIVING WITH SOMEONE YOU JUST DONT BELONG WITH! AND THE ACHING QUESTION HAUNTING YOU DEEP INSIDE EVERY DAY OF " IS THERE SOMEONE OUT THERE ESPECIALLY MADE FOR ME? SOMEONE ELSE OUT THERE WHO IS JUST LIKE ME"????? : / YES THERE IS! BUT WE HAVE TO WAIT ON JESUS CHRIST AND GOD OUR FATHER TO HELP US CONNECT WITH THEM! ... GOD WANTS US TO MAKE HIM FIRST IN EVERYTHING! NOT WHATEVER WE WANT FOR OURSELVES! OK, THATS ALL I WANTED TO SAY........
