Did you miss me, Yeah, while I was away,
Did you hang my picture on your wall?
Did you kiss me, Yeah, every single day,
although you couldn't kiss me at all?


Well, after a brief hiatus, I'm back. I'd like to thank everyone who asked or got in touch to ask if I was okay and find out where I'd gone - [livejournal.com profile] sesquipedality, [livejournal.com profile] autumn_storm, [livejournal.com profile] interior_lulu, [livejournal.com profile] stickette, [livejournal.com profile] puddingcat, [livejournal.com profile] faerierhona, [livejournal.com profile] student_heaven, [livejournal.com profile] hiromasaki, [livejournal.com profile] cygny, [livejournal.com profile] omentide, [livejournal.com profile] karohemd and [livejournal.com profile] eddyfate thanks all of you - and special thanks to [livejournal.com profile] ukmonty, for ringing from San Francisco to find out what was up, [livejournal.com profile] cryx for ice cream and then hippo- and bananaphone- related nonsense at just the right moment*, and [livejournal.com profile] rosamicula, for the largest steak I've ever seen in my life.

Where did I go? Well, without going into too many details, I was bloody miserable and then I cheered up again. Life's like that sometimes.

One of the things about being bloody miserable (at one point I found myself almost emitting the eternal cry of the pathetic - "Life hasn't turned out the way I wanted, and it is everyones fault but my own! Oh, woe!". That's how down I got) is that it really puts life into perspoective - and the perspective I got was that, whilst I might be down right now, I normally have a bloody great time of it and browsing through photos brought that all back.

I've been thinking of doing the grand David Lj photo retrospective for a while, and looking at all those memories made me think; "Yeah. It's been great, hasn't it?" Of course, any photo retrospective needs a soundtrack and with that thought I had to decide...Little Angels' "Too much, too young?", perhaps? Or Kiss' "God gave Rock and Roll to you"? But really, given my cheese-rock heritage, there really was only one song to choose.

Yesterday, there were so many things
I was never told

Now that I'm startin' to learn
I feel I'm growin' old


'Cause yesterday's got nothin' for me
Old pictures that I'll always see

Time just fades the pages in my book of memories
Hands in my pockets but no hand in destiny
I'll keep on movin' along with no time to plant my feet


'Cause yesterday's got nothin' for me
Old pictures that I'll always see

Some things would be better if we'd all just let them be

Yesterday's got nothin' for me
Yesterday's got nothin' for me
Got nothin' for me

Yesterday there were so many things
I was never shown

Suddenly this time I found
I'm on the streets and I'm all alone

'Cause yesterday's got nothin' for me
Old pictures that I'll always see
I ain't got time to reminisce on novelties


Yesterday's got nothin' for me
Yesterday's got nothin' for me

Yesteray's got nothin' for me
Yesterday
