MyPod Birthday Shuffle IV - Day 13 - Something About You

"Now, how can it be That a love carved out of caring 

Fashioned by fate could suffer so hard 

From the games played once too often 

But making mistakes is a part of life's imperfection 

Born of the years Is it so wrong to be human after all?"

There are SO many things I can say about this song.

The song came out in 1985.

High school graduation and starting college.

Meeting UL 2 (unrequited love) who would later cause a lot of heartache

and hardship over the next three years.

This was the first of many I consider "his songs."

And, this one is so fitting because there were a LOT

of games played, and a LOT of mistakes made

on both sides.  I really wish I could go back and tell

18 year old me not to do it.

Don't fall in love.

But I did, and years later this song

still reminds me of a time in my life when I

thought I could have anything I wanted...

Boy, was I wrong.

I thought I would share this version of the song as well.

It came out in an episode of "Grey's Anatomy" and

I downloaded it to my iPod.

#1661 - On Kismet

Do you believe in fate?

My mother always used to tell me that everything happens for a reason.

I used to think it was to keep me from being disappointed

from whatever teen drama was occuring at the moment,

but as I've gotten older, I've come to realize

that where I am is where I was lead to be.

When I stop and think back on certain decisions in my life,

I realize that those simple choices, like staying in San Diego

during college, or picking one med school over another

have certainly directed me to where I am now...

And, who's to complain?

It's a pretty good place...
