Ain’t no doubt about it
She’s just my kind of girl
Too bad she lives so far away
----John Lyle, musician, songwriter, blogger's cousin
.
I walked into class today listening to my mp3 player.
I had been sitting outside on a bench in the warm sunshine listening to a renditon of the Faces doing "Flying".
Great line in there - about being in jail "for being hungry tired and poor."
I have about 1200 songs on my player - all guilty pleasures.
.
Jay-Z was playing as I headed into the room.
My "boys in the back" joked that I was listening to Snoop Dogg.
I am not sure they believed me when I told them I was listening to Hova.
"I got 99 problems but a b*tch ain't one - hit me"
Don't much care.
.
I listen to my for my pleasure, but it is interesting how much we stereotype.
.
I went for a long walk tonight to clear my head.
The walk felt good but my head is still a mess.

Yo Cuz!..

JUST MY KIND OF GIRL
.
I asked her what she did for fun
she said she didn’t know
She said the days seemed shorter now
Love had lost its glow
.
She said all her bags were packed
And waiting on the bed
And if I thought I had a chance
I’d better shake my head
.
-Ain’t no doubt about it
She’s just my kind of girl
Too bad she lives so far away
She’s half asleep and far too deep
Into this crazy world
Ain’t no doubt about it
She’s just my kind of girl
.
She said she’d given up on hope
and all that it implied
She looked at me and said I see
Sadness in your eyes

She said when you stop arguing
With what has to be
You’ll learn the only lesson
You’ll ever learn from me
.
nice, huh?
bittersweet, sad, accepting
night nigh

Carumba!
Walls too! Severe water damage inside the walls and in the wood.
What a stressful time for you.
Does your insurance cover the store income loss?

Every Crisis is filled with Possibility - Chinese saying

Maybe the re-walled store can be shaped a bit better to meet your needs.
Besides - we're tough
It's the Irish Icelandic blend....
Be strong kiddo
