And Now For A Mental Health Break

If you need a boost this will give you one.

If you’re doing super you get to sit there and say,

” I know, I know “

and feel all superior.

So this is a win-win for us all.

“I’m On My Way”

by the

Proclaimers

I’m on my way from misery to happiness today
I’m on my way from misery to happiness today
I’m on my way to what I want from this world
And years from now you’ll make it to the next world
And everything that you receive up yonder
Is what you gave to me the day I wandered

I took a right, I took a right turning yesterday
I took a right, I took a right turning yesterday
I took the road that brought me to your home town
I took the bus to streets that I could walk down
I walked the streets to find the one I’d looked for
I climbed the stair that led me to your front door

And now that I don’t want for anthing
I’d have Al Jolson sing “I’m sitting on top of the world”

I’ll do my best, I’ll do my best to do the best I can
I’ll do my best, I’ll do my best to do the best I can
To keep my feet from jumping from the ground dear
To keep my heart from jumping through my mouth dear
To keep the past, the past and not the present
To try and learn when you teach me a lesson

And now that I don’t want for anything
I’d have Al Jolson sing “I’m sitting on top of the world”.

Mom, I Don’t Want To Go To School

When I  in grade school part of our lessons involved  memorizeing  poems or math or English lessons.

To this day I can still remember what it felt like to go up to the blackboard and have to recite those lessons in front of the class with the teacher sitting there with his or her green ( and later red ) grade book.

Nah, I wasn’t scared I used to blow it for fun.

Just to see the look on everyone’s face.

Or I’d bust out with a song from School House Rock.

Those were the days.

Looks COUNT.

Skin color COUNTS.

What sex you are COUNTS.

Your religion COUNTS.

Then

 WHY does it feel like

so many of us

DON’T MATTER

Hey! Other Important Stuff Happens

Who cares what Uncle Bill and Auntie Hill

 and all the other

Ommpa Loompas did today in the Land of Skulduggery.

They Found Life On Mars

Yay!

And When She Was Bad…

All About Eve is one of my favorite movies.

I like it, because no matter how you dress it up- with the censored version that made it to the screen or the original version where Eve not only tastes but indulges in the bitter fruit of her wicked ways-

all of the characters remained patronizing and vapid.

Not to mention self indulgent.

So I really enjoyed seeing something like Eve show up and set the house on fire.

It’s also worth noting that the women in this movie- from Airy Fairy Karen to Self Adoring Margo to our Wonderfully Wicked Eve

 kicked some serious backside.

In High Heels no less.

Morning Edition, January 21, 2008 · Said the real-life actress Celeste Holm, once upon a time, about the fictional actress Eve Harrington: “She had the manners of an ambassador and the morals of a pirate.”
