    Soulshine

    By Warren Haynes
    When you can't find the light
    That guides you through a cloudy day
    When the stars ain't shining bright
    And it feels like you've lost your way
    When those candle light of home
    Burn so very far away
    Well you got to let your soul shine
    Just like my daddy used to say

    Chorus
    He used to say the soulshine
    It's better than sunshine
    It's better than moonshine
    Damn sure better than rain
    Hey now people don't mind
    We all get this way sometimes
    Got to let your soul shine
    Shine 'til the break of day

    I grew up thinkin' that i had it made
    Gonna make it on my own
    Life can take the strongest man
    And make him feel so alone
    Now and then i feel a cold wind
    Blowin' through my aching bones
    I think back to what my daddy said
    He said, boy, in the darkness before the dawn

    [chorus]

    Sometimes a man can feel this emptiness
    Like a woman has robbed him of his very soul
    A woman too, god knows, she can feel like this
    But hey, when your world seems cold
    You got to let your spirit take control

    How to Un-Friend Someone

    Several years ago, someone who was newly hired at the company I worked for at the time befriended me, pretty much against my will.
     
    Right from the start, I found this person to be over-cheery, too perky, and generally annoying. I don't say this to be mean; the fact is that this person tries too hard. I have no idea who she really is, because she's always trying to be who you want her to be.
     
    Anyway, while we worked together, we got along just fine. A close knit group of co-workers, we spent a lot of time together outside of the office. We had a lot of good times together, as a group.
     
    Then, this person was let go from the company. We kept in touch, initially because her dismissal was such a shock, and just kind of kept it up. Shortly afterward, she became pregnant, and we kept in touch thru that, too.
     
    As time went on, and we had less in common in our day to day lives, our contact with each other became sporadic, as is to be expected. Truth be told, I dreaded her calling me--she'd talk forEVER about people I don't know, things I knew nothing about, and things I didn't really care about (like the time her high school best friend's sister's fiance cheated on her...her being someone I had never met, nor heard of before this conversation). But I'd talk to her, about once a month or so, and listen to her jabber away.
     
     
    It's tricky, this business of being "friends". Really, our "friendship" was based on nothing more than the fact that we worked at the same company for a period of time. I have no idea why she even liked me, as I showed no particular interest in her and tolerated her at best. Once I realized this, I stopped taking her calls. Maybe that was cowardly--I probably should have been up front and just told her that I didn't want to talk to her any more (which is the truth)...and while I'm sure that's the mature way to handle things, it seems harsh.
     
    So how do you do it? How do you unfriend someone? I literally haven't taken or returned her calls in a year, and she calls every.single.week. Every week. She never leaves a message, never emails or messages me on Facebook, yet she feels compelled to call my number every week.
     
    She's tenacious. I'll give her that.
