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

I’m tired and broken and I lost my way

I don’t want money I don’t need no fame
You’ll have to carry me back to where I belong
So if you please mama can you save me before I blow this life to hell
I’ve lost my way I’m so alone and all I want is to come home

And while that’s a good’un, gonna have to romantically go with Gaye … sing it with me y’all … come on come on come on come on come on baby stop beatin’ ’round the bush … damn, am just see my title boo-boo. Yep, def should read spurs on, lol. Giddy-up!! 😈

… you know what you can do with your life, introduce it up your jacksie.

No one’s really there fighting for you in the last garrison.
No one except yourself that is, no one except you.
You are the one who’s got your back ’til the last deed’s done.

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

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

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

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

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

It’s a beautiful day, it’s just a beautiful day

It’s a beautiful day
People on the street when the sun comes out
It’s a beautiful day
Still like it just a little better when the sun goes down

It’s a beautiful day
It’s just a beautiful day
It’s a beautiful day
It’s just a beautiful day
It’s a beautiful day
Another beautiful day
It’s a beautiful day

Demolition woman can I be your man?

Love is like a bomb baby c’mon get it on
Livin’ like a lover with a radar phone
Lookin’ like a tramp like a video vamp
Demolition woman can I be your man?

Razzle ‘n’ dazzle ‘n’ flash a little light
Television lover baby go all night
Sometime anytime sugar me sweet
Little miss innocent sugar me yeah, yeah

C’mon take a bottle, shake it up
Break the bubble, break it up

Pour some sugar on me
Ooh, in the name of love
Pour some sugar on me
C’mon fire me up
Pour your sugar on me
I can’t get enough
I’m hot, sticky, sweet
From my head to my feet, yeah

Listen! Red light, yellow light, green light, go!
Crazy little woman in a one man show
Mirror queen, mannequin, rhythm of love
Sweet dreams, saccharine, loosen up
Loosen up

You gotta please a little, squeeze a little, tease a little more
Easy operator come a knockin’ on my door
Sometime, anytime, sugar me sweet
Little miss innocent sugar me, yeah
Give a little more

Take a bottle, shake it up
Break the bubble, break it up

Pour some sugar on me
Ooh, in the name of love
Pour some sugar on me
C’mon fire me up
Pour your sugar on me
Oh! I can’t get enough
I’m hot, sticky, sweet
From my head to my feet, yeah

You got peaches, I got the cream
Sweet to taste, saccharine
‘Cos I’m hot, say what, sticky sweet
From my head, my head, to my feet

Do you take sugar? One lump or two? 

Take a bottle, shake it up
Break the bubble, break it up

Pour some sugar on me ooh, in the name of love
Pour some sugar on me c’mon fire me up
Pour YOUR sugar on me oh, I can’t get enough
Pour some sugar on me oh, in the name of love
Pour some sugar on me get it, come get it
Pour your sugar on me ooh
Pour some sugar on me yeah, sugar me

baked chili

… my favourite dish/way of utilizing leftover chili (especially on a cold, blustery, wintry day) … well, maybe not … LOVE chili dogs too … chili cheese fries, spaghetti chilignese (just made that shit up, so don’t be pilfering … at least give credit where it’s due if ya do) are motherfucking awesome as well … shit, now I’m confused/over-thinking it, lol. This was day five of the chili (still have enough for day six, AND I did freeze some, so I can enjoy those chili dogs for a quick meal). In my Le Creuset stoneware I layered basmati rice (leftover too, of course … be sure to add extra water/liquid as it tends to greedily sop up moisture) and an equal layer of the chili, with a generous layer of cheddar topping it all. Bake it hot and long to really get the cheese bubbling, and with blackened little crispy bits beginning to form around the edge … this means you’re done. A couple of pics y’all. Know it’s hard to visualize (individual) portion-wise, but trust me they’re perfect … served in my newly and proudly purchased terra-cotta chili/soup bowls handmade in Portugal. Sliced & spatula-ed, sour creamed & served … alongside a FROSTY (today at least, lol) tall cool one … lighten up baby I’m in love with you!!

I bring my song into the world and I sing it everywhere

music holds the secret to know it can make you whole
it’s not just a game of notes it’s the sounds inside your soul
magic of the melody runs through you like a stream
the notes they play flow through your head like a dream
like a dream like a dream

I sing this song for the common man for the people in despair
I bring my song into the world and I sing it everywhere
the simple truth lies waiting here for everyone to share
so hold on and I will take you there
hold on and I will take you there

hold on hold on to your dreams
hold on even though it seems
everyone around you has their little schemes
listen to your heart and hold on to your dreams

can’t you feel the magic feel it everywhere
can’t you hear the music there’s something in the air
there’s a celebration deep within a song
celebrate this feeling you know it can’t be wrong

I wish I understood, it used to be so nice, it used to be so good

When you’re gone
How can I even try to go on?
When you’re gone
Though I try how can I carry on?
When you’re gone
How can I even try to go on?
When you’re gone
Though I try how can I carry on?
When you’re gone
How can I even try to go on?
When you’re gone
Though I try how can I carry on?
