I was good friends with a group of three roommates who would break out the acoustic guitar and sing his songs late at night. Because I’m an asshole, i once ruined their little vibe with bursts of loud rap music, and i swear they got so mad that they tried to fight me

His album Born To Run got so much hype in the 70s, I had to buy it. It has to be good. I got it and played it, and I'm like, "I don't get it." lol

Clearly you're not the only one not to get it. I never bought a single Springsteen album and I'm proud of it. Lol. BTW, this song came out in 1975 at the same time the aforementioned album came out. I've always liked this mellow tune.... so yeah I confess that I like this.

Not a fan either. I do like “Brilliant Disguise” but that’s about it. There were a few of his older songs I liked but once Born in the USA was released, they played all his stuff to death. I can’t.

Trivia: Who jumped on stage in 1984 with Springsteen, as an adoring fan ( Staged set-up)) only to become a soap star?

Enjoy the east coast, I’ve opened offices in soho and vacationed all up and down it. It’s a beast I enjoy leaving. Maybe Charleston, I could do that city. Miami if I was ready to be single again.

I suppose that's one take on it. If you take one non biased look at the downtown area, and discover who the culprits were to bring it to its current state, I'd venture a strong bet you wouldn't use the same words to describe it.

I hate going in for service and getting a loaner. I forget that the normal shifters are different than mine. I throw the shifter to the left and up for reverse only to realize I am now in manual sport drive. At least today no one was watching. And yes, I realized before I went forward.

I thought this was common knowledge but maybe that's because I've seen the MTV music video like a thousand times.

Yes, it is AFAIK.

How many of the single guys here have bed sets replete with coverlettes under the main down comforter, shams and decorative throw pillows?!

[1MOREMOD]

No straight ones

[Sedan_Clan]

I can't be the only one. It's interesting how most men give zero attention to their living space(s).

The softer side of Sedan. You crack me up. First the show towels, now throw pillows?

Oh yes! I find the enrichment and warmth of my living space to be of high importance. I'm not a 20 year old anywhere……where a mattress/box spring on the floor, a folding table and chairs masquerading as a dinner table and posters of athletes on the wall will suffice. I like to walk in and feel that coziness that comes with a nicely decorated place that has layers and character (…and doesn't smell like a bunch of sweaty jocks live there. Lol!).

I get it. There’s nothing wrong with taking pride in your place and decorating. It’s just not common with men in my experience. Even my ex who was crazy OCD clean and neat had ZERO decorative flair. Just please tell me your comforter and throw pillows aren’t girlie prints and fluff. Even I stay away from flowers and stuff and go for color block and geometric type stuff.

Actually it's a nautical theme. Prior to moving to traditional nautical colors and custom wall art, I was stuck on dark colors (…mostly black/browns/earth tones). I forced myself to go lighter. White admittedly really messes with my OCD, but it's working thus far.

The two wall art photos are what a buddy custom made for me. The world map is in my living room area and the nautical compass is in my bedroom. The bedroom photo was taken as I started making the transition to a more nautical themed bedroom.

Nice. I would lose the white and put some other solid color. The white would push me over the edge. Maybe a nice blue to go with the nautical. But if it works for you, it’s all good. Love the kitchen

Thankfully it's only me, otherwise the white wouldn't work. When the ladies visit, I keep them off the white.
