A cheer for Cancers...

And I mean the astrological sign. People born under the sign Cancer, around this time of month actually, tend to be my favourite people to associate with. Humorous, intelligent, emotional and sensitive. I can dig it.

One of my best friends, Ryan, who just recently came back into town, i see him about four months out of the year. He's a Cancer. His birthday is at the end of June, and I could honestly say, he's probably the only man I connect with on almost every single level except sexually.
Dave, He's a cancer too,a close friend, our conversations usually consisting soley of teasing and banter.
Josee, an old co worker of mine, who I would deliberately take my coffee break with at the end of her shift, and I swear, that I would have tears running down my face by the end of my break from laughing so hard. Unfortunately for me, Josee moved to Fort McMurray, and I haven't seen her in about six months.
Devin, well, I adore that man. For my own reasons, which He cant see, or chooses not to see, or maybe even does see. I don't know anymore. Regardless of what goes on between us, I've never stopped. I don't think I ever will.

Lately I've been listening to Alicia Keys, "Diary of Alicia Keys" album. It's quite good, and for the frame of mind I've been in lately I'm not sure if it is helping or making things worse. She sings about love. Like most singers do, but almost all of her songs are about it. A few of her songs are quite similar to the first album she put out, being "Songs in A Minor" which was very good as well. Somehow Alicia, put a spin on it this time, maybe because her first album was designed to be more acceptable to every group, but this time it makes her sound more, well... Black I guess, for lack of a better term. There's some funk tossed in there, like the song "Heart burn" which amusingly enough in my head the first few times I heard it, I couldn't shake the notion of it being a commercial for Pepto Bismol. (Tastes so good, makes my stomach ache? LOL!)

Other than that, it's totally funkedelic, and quite enjoyable. *shrugs* The porno style bowmp chicka bowmp bowmp, guitar in it is another reason to dig it. Another song on it titled, "When you really Love Someone" that is reminiscent of "A Womans Worth" from her first album. Similar, but obviously not identical. All in all, it seems like a good album, but it's one that I bought on impulse, listened to it for the first time, kinda went, "Naaaah..." And put it on the shelf for a few months. I decided to give it a second try. It grows on you. Sorta like those warts the doctor said needed to be burned off.
