The Steel Woods - Old News

What settles your nerves after a long stressful day, and an anticipated longer anxious night? I don't know about you, but for me it's some 6 hour boiled in beer slathered in sauce barbecue broiled pork short-ribs, some good American (southern) whiskey in a frozen glass (neat), sitting out back, watching the sun dip behind the mountains, and best of all cranking up some good tunes. Like this one, right here. Might not be such a bad night, after all...
THE CATFISH SONG
Down at the bottom of that dirty ol' river
Down where the reeds and the catfish play
There lies a dream as soft as the water
There lies a bluebird that's flown awayWell, to meet is like Springtime
And to love is like the Summer
Her brown eyes shone only to me
Then Autumn fever, the fool come a fallin'
Rain turned to freezin' inside of meI'll kindle my fires with the words
I can't send you
And the roads I can't follow
And the songs I can't singWell, all you ladies
That dream of tomorrow
While you're a listenin'
These words I will say
Cling to today with its joy
And its sorrow
You'll need your memories
When your youth fades awayWell, the angel of Springtime
He rides down the Southwind
The angel of Summer
He does just the same
The angel of Autumn
She's blue and she's golden
And the angel of Winter
Won't remember your nameDown at the bottom of that dirty ol’ river
Down where the reeds and the catfish play
There lies a dream as soft as the water
There lies a bluebird that’s flown awayThere lies a bluebird
It’s flown away

Ive caught and ate catfish plenty of times. I just hope our definitions of "catfish" are the same.
-
i did catfish once. i sent a girl a pic of my younger brother. needless to say it didnt work out. Ive learned that transparency is the key to any relationship
-
@chewie how do you prepare your catfish?
...as for the other type of catfish. i like to be the cat that catches those catfishers and gobbles them up. Nom nom nom.

-
@Lazz you know, i'm going to whip up some catfish today. I love catfish!
Not catfishers lol
-
@Lazz LMAO indeed one is the victim the other a masked villian
-
@chewie That's a good lesson. Me, I've only been on the other side. As dumb as a catfish
to nibble on a fisher's cast line, even though I could see the hook. Come to think of it, saw the mask, too. 
LOL Live and learn, right?

The lesson took a paradigm shift within my own mind. Selfishness and Pride were the true enemies.
-
well reality is the only place to get a decent meal
-
a catfish is better than no fish at all. LOL
-
@Lazzthere is no misteak. i am a candy loving carnivor. yes wookies love candy.

@Rei_90 i usually fry it, but have grilled and broiled it. I'm open to trying new foods or even new ways to prepare well know foods. I'm from a small town with hardly any outside cultural influence. It's nice to adventure into the unknown, even if it is only by taste.
-
@Sassygirl Yaaaaaaasssss.
-
@Lazz catfish, lol.
when i hear music like this, i definitely think about a nice, cold beverage with some yummy grilled meat...with a circle of friends chillin' outside.

@Rei_90
. o O ( Catfish?! ) Nudge, nudge, wink, wink
-
@Rei_90 Sure, sure. Everything you share looks SO Good, but just seeing the pics is enough to get me (and, I'm sure many others, here) HUNGRY!!
And, I agree, catfishers are NOT good at all. Nope, nope
-
@chewie Maybe so, but probably not
The main difference is: You catch one, the other catches YOU
