Just Listening....  (Even a tree knows when it's time to bend, when it's time to grow and when it's time to fall).

Not a bad song in the bunch really.  Youtube him... seriously.

Our Creation

This is my video I made for my human rights class.  It took countless hours.... But, I think my first video turned out ok!!!!  Good night world!  I'm grateful for time.... it has told me what I needed to know; perfect as always.  As Maya Angelou said, when people show you who they are, believe them the first time!

In a Very Unusual Way

In a very unusual way one time I needed you.
In a very unusual way you were my friend.
Maybe it lasted a day, maybe it lasted an hour.
But, somehow it will never end.

In a very unusual way I think I'm in love with you.
In a very unusual way I want to cry.
Something inside me goes weak,
Something inside me surrenders.
And you're the reason why,
You're the reason why

You don't know what you do to me,

You don't have a clue.
You can't tell what it's like to be me looking at you.
It scares me so, that I can hardly speak.

In a very unusual way, I owe what I am to you.
Though at times it appears I won't stay, I never go.
Special to me in my life,
Since the first day that I met you.
How could I ever forget you,
Once you had touched my soul?
In a very unusual way,
You've made me whole


Thank you Barbra Streisand for the beautiful music! Happy Birthday!!!

Distractions

Music, like air
is always there
even when life is not fair;

lifting

anyone who
dares to let it In-
Side-Tracked.

in your face isn't always a bad thing

The Sound of Winter

Going through changes

not afraid, but maybe i am.... at least a little

so i've heard, half the battle is to be able to ask for help. why is that so fucking hard for me? just don't want to put anyone out.... certainly don't want them to feel anything other than wonderful because of me. but yea, i kinda need it.  i've always been the rock to everyone in my life, except my own. don't know how to do that. everybody else has always meant more to me than myself. i'm disposable, so i was always told.  i want to fight, hard.... but i just don't know where to begin.  taking care of me has never been a top priority for me....  bob dylan said it, "times, they are a changing",  i hope i can get a piece of that.... i need a little anger right now, seem to have lost it along the way. now is a good time for my empowering word, the one that pumps me up, always.... FUCK IT!!!

crap-a-licious

My heart hurts,

my head, even worse.

my life sucks

but fuck,

it ain't gonna spoil my day

at all.

Life! It's crap-a-licious!!!

Tweet It

Twitter twat tweets and facecrack pipin'.... It's all crazy, but amusing to me. It's people watching at its best!  But the madness of it all  motivated me to re-write the lyrics of  Michael Jackson's Song "Beat It". After his death, I listened to a lot of his stuff over and over, but one day while listening  I found myself saying "tweet it" instead of beat it.

I sat down to write, and here is what I came up with. I hope it's not illegal, but I had a helluva great time writing it!!!

Sing it to the beat of "Beat It".  That's the song up there in case you can't remember:

TWEET IT

Everybody’s gettin’ into the twitter cheer
Don’t wanna see your face, don’t have to be sincere
Got such a small space so your words are really clear
You tweet it, just tweet it

You type a ton even when you’re on the can
You just don’t seem to get, you ain’t no anchorman
Don’t have to tell all but you do it again
You tweet it, cause you wanna update

CHORUS

Just tweet it, tweet it, tweet it, tweet it
Everyone is so conceited
Sharin’ every boring thing in your life
It doesn’t matter if anyone cares
Just tweet it, tweet it
Just tweet it, tweet it
Just tweet it, tweet it
Just tweet it, tweet it

You’re out to friend, trying to get all you can
Doin’ everything to show that you’re really not bland
Don’t wanna be a dive, better do all you can
So tweet it, just tweet it

You have to show them that you really do care
You’re lyin’ through your teeth, but you better beware
They’ll pick you then delete you
Cause you’re puttin’ on airs
You tweet it, cause you wanna update

“Happiness is the longing for repetition”
Repeat Chorus until you’re happily insane….

From “Beat It” by Michael Jackson
