why can’t forever be forever and nothin’ more?
who’s the one that makes you happy?
or maybe, who’s the one always on your mind?
and who is the reason you’re livin’ for?
who’s the reason for your smile?
everyone needs somebody
and you know, everybody needs someone
well, and yes it’s true
everybody needs a special kind of love
and you’re the only one I’m thinkin’ of
you mean the world to me
you are my only!
it’s not what you got, it’s what you give
it ain’t the life you choose, it’s the life you live
kale ‘n garlic
… along with rapini … my favourite greens, hands down! Very healthy, and easy to prepare/make too. I grab the bunch, and chop off the bottom (thicker) stalks/stems … wash and rinse 3-4 times quickly, shaking off excess water, yet leaving it wet … heat up my pot, add a couple of tablespoons of olive oil and throw in the kale. You can immediately hear it crackle as the cool, watery leaves interact with the hot oil … season liberally with salt, black pepper and put a lid on it. A few minutes later when it’s wilted somewhat, I add the slivered garlic (I find they’ll burn if I add them along with the kale), allowing them to get golden, by that time it’s all done. All that remains is the plating, and tossing on a few chili flakes too. Enjoy!!
I can’t get any lower still I feel I’m sinking
So now you know who gets mystified
Show me the power child I’d like to say that I’m down on my knees today
Yeah it gives me the butterflies gives me away
Till I’m up on my feet again
change of plans: português comida
… sorry Tiff. Stopped at my fave Sunday haunt and got roped into a Portuguese food feast. Good bud Alex didn’t even bother to ask if I wanted a beer today, he just ordered it … and he even remembered my brand, Stella (best the bar offers). He did ask if I wanted to join him/them for lunch, his treat … I can’t tell you how many times I’ve douched out and declined … not today. A few pics y’all …
Alex and me (grunge photoshopped, lol)
vino (and bread)
cabbage, carrots, and potatoes
… pic #2
… and 3
meat: chorizo, chicken, pork … unsure of the rest?
… pic #2
my plate (1st of 3 helpings)
2 bottles (these are the bigboybottles btw) down, 1 to go
after dinner espresso and double shot of brandy (bowl is deep)
Final thoughts; those three bottles of wine were drunk ‘tween eight manly men dining (seven actually … stuck with my Stella). Every Sunday, anyone who wants to eat/drink is welcomed. The bill is calculated as a whole, then divided by the number of people … roughly calculated too (no nitpicking), making paying easier. Today it was $20/head … ALL IN!! My lunch included three beers (typically $6-7 at any bar), all the food I could eat, a double shot of brandy and espresso … to call it a good bargain would be the proverbial understatement. Thanks again Alex, you’re good people!!
we got real shit
see baby we’ve been too strong for too long and I can’t be without you baby
… chemistry was crazy from the get-go
If Lowes was a lady, she’d be my mistress!!
… ’cause she does me SOOOOOO good … OVER and OVER and OVER …
Tiffany K’s TopBox
Must admit, really don’t fully understand it … and if this was her blog maybe she’d explain better, but it ain’t. And I do know she’s signed up for others – beauty boxes … Luxe Box, Loose Button … come to think of it, something tells me those two are actually one in the same?! The fuck do I know, lol? Anyways, I do remember reading in my TO Star that TopBox was the most desirable of this dollingoutsamplesbeautyboxbunch … AND, that there was a waiting list to sign-up. As luck would have it, my credit card membership permitted me front of the line privileges and Tiff scored huge … not your regular TopBox either, this one came with twice the goodies offered regular subscribers. Can’t remember all that’s supposed to be inside, do like the packaging … a couple of pics y’all …

… for now’s what I mean … don’t hold yer breath, and I don’t wanna hear smack from any of ya when ya see more, lol!! Love ’em both, 1st pic ’cause he’s looking so casual … shirt unmotherfuckingtucked … with a hint of a smile, both rare for him … unsure of the year, guessing ’53-’55 … do know it’s a cultural event (another reason I cherish these particular photos), he was extremely proud of his roots, of his ancestry and heritage. The 2nd pic, taken February ’57 … is of him with friends, love it as well ’cause he was always the best looking one of the bunch … GREAT hair as always, contrasting colours; jacket and pants … AND check out his flatly folded hankie … spank-yie very much, snot-rag stylin’ shit motherfucker had goin’ on!!
if brown food tastes good, blackened food must taste GREAT?!
Stewing beef (3 lb, nicely cubed too btw), thanks butcher bud … today was prep day, beautifully blackened for my EuroStew (just made that shit up, DON’T plagiarize please!!) tomorrow (stay tuned folks), ready for my Rival Crock-Pot® … The Original Slow Cooker … yep y’all … b l a c k e n e d …

See my lonely life unfold I see it everyday
I was gone for fourteen days
I coulda been gone for more
Held up in the intensive care ward
Lyin’ on the floor
I was gone for all those days
But I was not all alone
I made friends with a lot of people
In the danger zone
I think I lost some weight there
And I-I’m sure I need some rest
Sleepin’ don’t come very easy
In a straight white vest
See my lonely mind explode when I’ve gone insane
I wanna get outta here
I wanna get outta here
I-I’ve gotta I’ve gotta get outta here
I-I gotta get out of here
I gotta get out of here
I gotta get outta here
I gotta get outta hereYa gotta let me out of here
Let me outta here
I gotta get outta here
I gotta get outta here
See my lonely life unfold
I see it everyday
See my lonely mind explode
Blow up in my faceI grabbed my hat and I got my coat
And I-I ran into the street
I saw a man that was choking there
I guess he couldn’t breathe
I gotta get outta here
I gotta get outta hereYa gotta let me out of here
Let me outta here
I gotta get outta here
I gotta get outta here
See my lonely life unfold
I see it everyday
See my lonely mind explode
Blow up in my faceI grabbed my hat and I got my coat
And I-I ran into the street
I saw a man that was choking there
I guess he couldn’t breathe
Said to myself this is very strange
I’m glad it wasn’t me
But now I hear those sirens callin’
And so I am not free
I didn’t wanna be
I didn’t wanna be
I didn’t wanna be
See my lonely life unfold
See my only mind explode
When I’ve gone insane
liar liar lance on fire
… knew it all along. your denial-a-mile-long-lie was wasted on me. saw through you and your deceitful words. then … and especially now. karma … bitch.
you’re a shining star no matter who you are
when you wish upon a star
dreams will take you very far, yeah
when you wish upon a dream
life ain’t always what it seems, oh yeah
once you see your light so clear
in the sky so very dear
shining bright to see what you can truly be
that you can truly be
shining star for you to see what your life can truly be
shining star for you to see what your life can truly be
shining star for you to see what your life can truly be
shining star for you to see what your life can truly be
shining star for you to see what your life can truly be

Canada’s climate change
Snapped this January 13 while out Sunday driving. Best I could do under the circumstances, keeping hands on the wheel, eyes on the road … it’s a VW convertible with the top down in the dead of winter. The day before we hit 15° C setting a record. It even felt warmer, was a beautiful, bright, sunny day … today was pretty much the same in the temp. dept. … sans the extra warmth of the sun. Old man winter, gotta love him!! 😎
