Default I think I'm cracking up; best place to get help?

I always thought of myself as a very capable, self confident individual who, if you'll pardon the expression - had his s*** together.
Lately, I've been under a lot of pressure at work, and things have been a little strained at home too. Perhaps I'm trying to justify the unjustifiable.

I'm ashamed to admit that recently I've started to listen to country. No-one is more surprised than me. I started out doing a little Shania Twain. I thought I could handle it, keep it quiet. Just my little thing. No-one need know.

They said that she's a gateway artiste, and in my arrogance I scoffed at that, but I have found myself starting to dabble in LeAnn Rimes. I'm worried that I'm on a slippery slope.

Please, please can someone recommend a place to get some professional help? I'm very scared and I wish that I had never embarked on this trip. I think people are starting to suspect. My health is suffering and I'm not sleeping.

Has anyone else been through this? Is there hope?

I can sympathise.

I started listing to SIRIUS 60 New Country purely ironically. Or, at least, I told myself that.

Now, six months later, I'm on it 40 minutes a day. And I know the words to the songs.

Waaaah!

This. Oh, so this. That's how it was for me. I started listening just to be smug and feel superior to my gf. And now I'm down on her level. Well, below her level because she spent a lot of time in Colorado Springs and Texas, and she doesn't know any better.

I do listen to Johnny Cash, but what guy hasn't? He's not country really.

Roland, I have XM. The only way I've managed to keep it together at all has been because of XM150 - the uncensored comedy channel with Sonny Fox.

Thank God for Lewis Black and Craig Shoemaker.

Incidentally, what type of sex is enjoyed by 9 out of 10 people?









A: Gang rape.

SNORT!

I feel guilty laughing.

Wifey likes Raw Dog comedy. They overplay Dane Cook, but it's still pretty good.

I think you are both now officially required to:

1. Hand in your British passport
2. Hand in your balls (unless these were lost through marriage).

Maybe it's an argument for evolution. One adapts to survive in one's environment.

Tee hee! We've only been here a matter of months and my husband has turned into a country lovin' freak too! What is it with that music? All those bendy warbles and twangy notes... not my cup of tea thank you very much - I'll stick with the Foo Fighters interlaced with a bit of Kanye West!

(Did anyone see the grammys last night? What was that Brad Paisley chappie singing about checking ticks on his girlfriend for????)

I don't like new country, not at all. But I love roots country and the Outlaws.

Waylon Jennings ~ Amanda

Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings and Kris Kristofferson perform Highwayman

And Johnnie Cash's cover of Hurt is incredible.

John Conlee No I don't remember loving you This one gets to me, it seems so sad. Perhaps I first heard it at a bad time.
