cool change

i need a break/vacation/holiday/retreat/cool change in the worst sort of way, but am pretty sure that it's not going to happen. if you are out there....and you care: pray for me. please.

Time for a cool change

I know that it's time for a cool change

Now that my life is so prearranged

I know that it's time for a cool change
I've never been romantic

And sometimes I don't care

I know it may sound selfish

But let me breathe the air, yeah

Let me breathe the air

star

you know who you are:

So they've made you a star

Now your head's in a cloud

And you're walkin' down the street

With your feet are off the ground

They read in the press all about your success

They believe every word they've been told

After all you've been through tell what will you do

When you find yourself out in the cold

Ah tell me Ah tell me

When you appear on the stage

There's a standing ovation

You really live out your performance

You're the biggest sensation

You breeze through the door and when you take the floor

You expect to have it all to yourself

After all you've been through tell me what will you do

When you find yourself back on the shelf

Ah, tell me Ah, tell me

(thanks to stealers wheel for the tune. gerry rafferty...we'll miss you!)

the filth and the fury

was watching "the filth and the fury".....a doc on the band, the sex pistols. discovered that my bird, geddy, likes their music. rock.

art for art's sake.....

had some random stranger ask me yesterday if i was an "artist." i can't even count how many times i've been asked this question. apparently the way i look and dress gives other the impression that i'm terribly creative!! i love it....especially considering that my mode of dress isn't nearly as ecclectic as it used to be, or as i would like it to be. so...yeah. made me happy to be asked yesterday. thank you!! you made my heart smile!

our ms brooks:

our brooksley will be a wonderful present for JESUS in heaven this christmas. gonna miss you swee-swee!

first anniversay............

it was 1 year ago today

sami* pepper put the smokes away.

i miss it like a phantom limb and it would have been nice if my family had said "congrats." ah well......maybe one day i'll be glad i did it.

yesterday..........

Yesterday,

All my troubles seemed so far away,

Now it looks as though they're here to stay,

Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Suddenly,

I'm not half the man I used to be,

There's a shadow hanging over me,

Oh, yesterday came suddenly.
