I'm STILL a self confessing, self professing know-it-all, or so I think!

pin me down show me how

looking back to find my way never seemed so hard
yesterday’s been laid to rest changing of the guard
I would never change a thing even if I could
all the songs we used to sing everything was good

I remember watching you once upon a time
dancing from across the room in another life

a little bit of resolve is what I need now

I feel the question of your loneliness

confide ’cause I’ll be on your side
you know I will, you know I will

my friends are so distressed
and standing on the brink of emptiness
no words I know of to express
this emptiness

best grocery store pizza Toronto!

… bar none! Helps that Metro had a 3 day sale; XL 16″ for $7.99 making it an incredible deal. But what separates it from others is that it has a thick crust, and more importantly retains heat, unlike those other garden grocery store varieties that lose heat immediately, before you even get it home … reminds me of frozen quality pizza! For both quality&quantity … not to mention the price … we’re talking yer basic pepperoni pie (loaded w/ lotsa cheese too) here folks, I’d pick-up this bad-boy over those other well known pizza chains any day!

Boy oh Barolo!

Special ordered this December 2 … I blame falling for AMEX’s front of the line privileges afforded me! Arrived yesterday – was well within their 8-12 week delivery window! Beautiful attention to detail regarding package and delivery! Very impressed! Oh, and what’s w/ that awesome order number 95959 … it’s a prime, a palindrome too! I love it, it’s a sign from my number God, means wine’s def got to be exceptional! Can’t wait to try, and I know exactly what I’ll be cooking … more pics then, I promise! Oh, and for all inquiring minds – $100 for the deuce!

“I am me, I am not you” – danistrulytheman

I can’t anticipate, dictate, or control the actions of others! I can’t think what your thinking, I can’t make you think what I’m thinking! You are wholly responsible for your thoughts/actions, as am I!! Fifty years … finally got it figured out!! Age begets wisdom!!

Make up your mind and I’ll make up mine. Don’t worry about me, I’ll be fine!

Those words that you said to me, why wasn’t I listening?

and do this for the last time, and do this for the last time, and do this for the last time

chili chouriço

I’m the culinary king of adapting, if I do humbly say so myself!! Ok, maybe king of making shit up on the fly, but king nonetheless! So when my Portuguese lady friend Lina recently offered some of her home made chouriço (she smokes the shit herself in her backyard smoker too, y’all), I knew exactly how to put it to good use!! Make my SuperBowl chili as per usual, then slice&toss these badboys into the mix for that extra oomph!! And, with temps reaching minus 25 in these here parts, nothing beats a hot bowl of chili w/ grated Jack and a dollop of sour cream, along w/ plenty of crusty peasant bread (along w/ plenty of beer of course *wink wink*) on a cold Canadian wintry day!!

I got nothing to lose if I speak my mind I don’t care anymore I don’t care no more!

Well you can tell everyone I’m a down disgrace
Drag my name all over the place
I don’t care anymore
You can tell everybody ’bout the state I’m in
You won’t catch me crying ’cause I just can’t win
I don’t care anymore I don’t care anymoreI don’t care what you say
I don’t play the same games you play
‘Cause I’ve been talking to the people that you call your friends
And it seems to me there’s a means to an end
They don’t care anymore
And as for me I can sit here and bide my time
I got nothing to lose if I speak my mind
I don’t care anymore I don’t care no moreI don’t care what you say
We never played by the same rules anywayI won’t be there anymore
Get out of my way
Let me by
I got better things to do with my time
I don’t care anymore I don’t care anymore
I don’t care anymore I don’t care anymore

Well I don’t care now what you say
‘Cause every day I’m feeling fine with myself
And I don’t care now what you say
Ayayay I’ll do alright by myself
‘Cause I know

‘Cause I remember all the times I tried so hard
And you laughed in my face ’cause you held the cards
Don’t care anymore
And I really ain’t bothered what you think o’ me
‘Cause all I want of you is just a let me be
I don’t care anymore you hear I don’t care no more

I don’t care what you say
I never did believe you much anyway

I won’t be there no more so get out of my way
Let me by I got better things to do with my time
I don’t care anymore
You hear I don’t care anymore I don’t care no more
You listening I don’t care no more no more

You know I don’t care anymore

No more no more no more no more no more no more no more no more no more no more no more no more no no more
