Do you keep the ones that are linked to sad times or maybe better times?
I have tossed out lots of photos from the past or physical reminders of sad times.
I don't know what to do with a bunch of stuff I have right now.
Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away

    I think these particular photos and memories should be saved, but put not in my house. I think maybe bringing them to my parent's house is a good idea.
    Thanks cutback.

    i'm the same way. i'm horribly sentimental :o

    keeping them somewhere else is a great idea, if you don't want to keep them in your home, that way you have the best of both worlds :)

    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    Most of them, but I'll get rid of any of an ex-gf if I don't particularly like them anymore (which is usually the case). Those are about the only ones I'll trash.

    I throw out most things that aren't relevant to me anymore. Old birthday cards, pics w/ ex-boyfriends, etc....

    I don't see any reason to hang onto them.

    I saw a photo yesterday that made me unbearably sad but I'd never want to throw it away, it's just something that I need to be around, even if it hurts to see it. Some things are important enough that you need a reminder of them, even if they don't represent something happy in your life.
    "I remember one night at Muzdalifa with nothing but the sky overhead, I lay awake amid sleeping Muslim brothers and I learned that pilgrims from every land — every colour, and class, and rank; high officials and the beggar alike — all snored in the same language"

    Funny, I am the exact opposite. I no longer have a single photo of my ex wife or us together. 7 years of my life, poof, gone. I don't even remember throwing them out but I'm the anti-packrat of all time. Wonder if she keeps momentos of our relationship.

    Here a song I wrote just for her:

    Stumble My Way

    I gave up on forever
    and ever and ever
    before it even began
    something like love
    turned into hate
    the second that ring
    touched your hand
    I let go of the rope
    fell into the dark
    and out of the light
    made my stand

    You thought I had slipped
    just out of your sight
    but god I was so far away
    I don't want to come back
    I don't want to be found
    I know
    I can never be saved

    I crawled to the shore
    of a high mountain lake
    where even my own face
    seemed fake
    I built a home
    and I lived alone
    as I stumbled my way
    into grace
    I forgot about us
    let myself be
    and I can't even picture
    your face

    You thought I had slipped
    just out of your sight
    but god I was so far away
    I don't want to come back
    I don't want to be found
    I know
    I can never be saved

    one foot in front
    of the other
    as I stumble my way
    into grace
    one foot in front
    of the other
    as I stumble my way
    into grace

    No, no, I just used that verse and created a whole new song.

    Photographs and memories
    Christmas cards you sent to me
    All that I have are these
    To remember you

    Memories that come at night
    Take me to another time
    Back to a happier day
    When I called you mine

    But we sure had a good time
    When we started way back when
    Morning walks and bedroom talks
    Oh how I loved you then

    Summer skies and lullabies
    Nights we couldn't say good-bye
    And of all of the things the we knew
    Not a dream survived

    Photographs and memories
    All the love you gave to me
    Somehow it just can't be true
    That's all I've left of you

    But we sure had a good time
    When we started way back when
    Morning walks and bedroom talks
    Oh how I loved you then
    So I'll just lie down and wait for the dream
    Where I'm not ugly and you're lookin' at me

    If jamie were here he would be thinking of this:
    Im outa luck, outa love
    Gotta photograph, picture of
    Passion killer, youre too much
    Youre the only one I wanna touch
    I see your face every time I dream
    On every page, every magazine
    So wild and free so far from me
    Youre all I want, my fantasy

    Oh, look what youve done to this rock n roll clown
    Oh oh, look what youve done

    Photograph - I dont want your
    Photograph - I dont need your
    Photograph - all Ive got is a photograph
    But its not enough

    Id be your lover, if you were there
    Put your hurt on me, if you dare
    Such a woman, you got style
    You make every man feel like a child, oh
    You got some kinda hold on me
    Youre all wrapped up in mystery
    So wild so free and far from me
    Youre all I want, my fantasy

    Oh, look what youve done to this rock n roll clown
    Oh oh, look what youve done

    Photograph - I dont want your
    Photograph - I dont need your
    Photograph - all Ive got is a photograph
    Youve gone straight to my head

    Oh, look what youve done to this rock n roll clown
    Oh oh, look what youve done
    I gotta have you

    Photograph - I dont want your
    Photograph - I dont need your
    Photograph - all Ive got is a photograph
    I wanna touch you

    Photograph
    Photograph - your photograph
    Photograph -
    Photograph - I need only your
    Photograph - Im outa love
    Photograph - Im outa love
    Photograph - youre the only one
    Photograph - I wanna touch
    Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
    And I don't feel right when you're gone away

    Hey, you shush about that. Oh, and something is fucked on our myspace site. It kept playing the wrong song when I just tried. I'll tell the guitar player to go fix it.
