After the personal events that took place this past week and which caused me much heartache. I did some serious reflection. Many aspects of this Pearl Jam song seem to hit on issues of this past week. The first paragraph best describes an ex-girlfriend, just replace "he or his" with "her". [One doesn't need a degree in Psychology to figure it out. HA!] And the first and second paragraphs best describe the ex-beau. [Yep, they coulda' been something. . . . .]

NOTHINGMAN
Album: Vitalogy
Written By: Vedder & Ament

once divided there's nothing left to subtract
some words when spoken can't be taken back
walks on his own with thoughts he can't help thinking
future's above, but in the past he's slow and sinking
caught a bolt of lightning...cursed the day he let it go
nothingman...
nothingman...
isn't it something, nothingman?
she once believed in every story he had to tell
one day she stiffened...oh yeah...took the other side
empty stares from each corner of a shared prison cell
one just escapes...one's left inside...oh well
and he who forgets will be destined to remember...oh, oh, woh...
nothingman...
nothingman...
yeah, isn't it something, nothingman?
oh, she don't want him
oh, she won't feed him after he's flown away...yeah
oh, into the sun...yeah, into the sun
burn, burn, oh burn...
nothingman...
nothingman...
oh, isn't it something, nothingman?
oh, nothingman...nothingman...
oh, coulda' been something, nothingman
