    This song is performed by Keane and appears on the album Under The Iron Sea (2006).Why do I have to fly over every town up and down the line?I'll die in the clouds above and you that I defend I do not loveI wake up, it's a bad dream, no one on my sideI was fighting but I just feel too tired to be fightingGuess I'm not the fighting kindWhere will I meet my fate?Baby I'm a man I was born to hateAnd when will I meet my end?In a better time you could be my friendI wake up, it's a bad dream, no one on my sideI was fighting but I just feel too tired to be fightingGuess I'm not the fighting kindWouldn't mind it if you were by my sideBut you're long gone, yeah you're long gone nowWhere do we go?I don't even know my strange old faceAnd I'm thinking about those daysAnd I'm thinking about those daysI wake up, it's a bad dream, no one on my sideI was fighting but I just feel too tired to be fightingGuess I'm not the fighting kindWouldn't mind it if you were by my sideBut you're long gone, yeah you're long gone nowYeah

    The only person qualified to answer that is her. I cannot think of any delicate way to go about it. I would, like Trab, suggest a slow start. Maybe a trip to the local Starbucks for a cup of coffee and talk. Let her know you're there for her in any way she needs. Elaborate a little more on each date and gauge her reaction. I normally don't like the slow drawn-out thing, but in this case I might suggest going that route to preserve her emotional stability.

    Today on RHF this appropriate joke appeared. It's relevant to this discussion:A friend was complaining that her boyfriend would not say "I love you,"even if explicitly asked to do so. The only exception, she said, waswhen they were in fact in the act of making love. Then, if asked, hewould say the sacred words.I suggested that she should not take too much comfort in the exception.When making love, I explained, men will say anything."He'd tell you he's the Easter Bunny if that's what he thinks you wantto hear," I told her. The conversation rattled on from there.A couple of weeks later, she related the following."We were in bed, making love. I said, 'Tell me you love me.' He said,'I love you.' I said 'Tell me you're the Easter Bunny.' He stoppedfor a second, and said, 'I'm the Easter Bunny.' So I slapped him."The poor guy probably still doesn't know what happened.

    I understand. If I owned a gun, 30 minutes on the road on any weekday and I'd have shot at least a dozen people.People who drive with a mobile phone in one hand* should be executed on sight. They're the worst but none of them THINK they are bad. * Bluetooth or other handsfree is okay

    For most of the adult world, Rad, your life is ultimately in your control. Sometimes it takes a lot of will and effort to turn it to the correct direction. Your life will never be perfect -- nobody's is -- but it can be close to or near what you want. Keep in mind you can't have everything you want. I want to live in London, but I can't afford it. That doesn't mean life sucks -- it's just a bit disappointing in that specific regard.Make your life what you want.

    For those with large backup issues (me for instance) and no budget issues:1. Get an AIT backup drive (firewire is way faster than USB) -- they over $1000 and the tapes about $50 but it's fast and you can put them in a fireproof safe ($150). 2. If you know your HD and/or computer is dying please REPLACE THEM before it happens. Do not put it off.3. There are companies (DriveSavers) that for a Large Sum of money ($750 to $2500) can recover data from hard drives that have been destroyed by fire, airplane crashes, and more. If it's that important it IS an option. I tried it once, but I was so clever at hand rebuilding the directory because I thought I'd fix it, I managed to render it worthless Moral: leave it to a pro.4. Don't run Windows. I'd love to go on a Mac sales pitch, but I won't. If you're running a PC, run Linux of some sort. Most PC crashes are related to Windows and not the hardware (most Macs and PCs now run on the same Intel chipset). Macs crash less. That's an unarguable fact proven time and time again, but the reason is often buried. OS-X is a GUI (like X-11) that runs right on top of BSD UNIX. So a Mac is running a forum of UNIX which is part of the reason it crashes less. The other being Microsoft will gladly release buggy software and not fix it for aeons. 5. RAID will solve most of your problems. Western Digital makes external 1TB RAID capable drivers for about $399 (not all WD ext HD are RAID compliant -- check the box and system requirements). For the Mac, you just plug it in, re-format it using Disk Utility, and you're done forever. For the PC, I have no idea. Once you're ready set it to MIRROR mode. Then you have two 500GB Hds which are always identical. If one fries you have a second copy.
