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

Did I disappoint you? Or leave a bad taste in your mouth?

Is it getting better? Or do you feel the same?
Will it make it easier on you now? You got someone to blame

Well did I ask too much? More than a lot
You gave me nothing. Now it’s all I got
We’re one. But we’re not the same
See we hurt each other. Then we do it again
And I can’t be holding on to what you got
When all you got is hurt

I hurt myself today to see if I still feel

I focus on the pain the only thing that’s real
The needle tears a hole the old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away but I remember everything

What have I become my sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away in the end
You could have it all my empire of dirt
I will let you down I will make you hurt

I wear this crown of shit upon my liar’s chair
Full of broken thoughts I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time the feelings disappear
You are someone else I am still right here

Ain’t got no quarrels with God

When you grab a hold of me
You tell me that I’ll never be set free

I swim but wish I never learned
The water’s too polluted with germs

Two pints of booze
Tell me are you a badfish too? Are you a badfish too?

Ain’t got no time to get old
Lord knows I’m weak

Won’t somebody get me off of this reef

but if this ever changing world in which we live in makes you give in and cry

when you were young and your heart was an open book
you used to say live and let live
you know you did you know you did you know you did

say live and let die

Oh Lord and Master, beholding it’s some fucking Black Hole you’re falling into … Sun

Stuttering, cold and damp
Steal the warm wind tired friend
Times are gone for honest men
And sometimes far too long for snakes
In my shoes, a walking sleep
And my youth I pray to keep
Heaven sent hell away
No one sings like you anymore

what do you do when all your enemies are friends

I still remember every single word you said
and all the shit that somehow came along with it
still there’s one thing that comforts me
since I was always caged and now I’m free

LOVE this one … and the elevator music ain’t shabby either, lol. Big Me!!

I’ve seen pigs out sitting watching a picture slide

I’ve seen old men crying at their own graveside

but I never seen nothing like you

===========================================================================

heard this the other day, the original version (must plead ignorance – never heard/knew of it) by The Move, not ELO – but still Jeff Lynne. Confusing, lol? Just listen y’all!! 😎

playing passenger, done with the driving

… passively too – maybe I was sedated, lol?! Truthfully – LOVED it!! Was nice (but strange for a change) not lifting a finger doing any work getting food on the table … ‘nstead giving the two runts full run – complete carte blanche of my kitchen … my domain. And I promise never to bring up the mess again, mentioning it for the last time (yeah, probably will , lol) you left for yours truly … and ain’t complainin’ (but it was REALLY REALLY messy, lol) … the meal was fantastic … and the break from the EXPECTED (just sayin’) dinner duties was greatly appreciated (and needed). You done good!! Should be a TV show ’bout you twos

butternut squash, double smoked bacon & roasted red pepper soup …

smoked herring fritter (a la crab cake), arugula & toasted squash seeds (& curry sauce) salad …

pan seared whitefish, quinoa & roasted veggies, white wine & lemon, dill & cilantro reduction …

AND the best part – dessert (no pic – sorry). Bread pudding with fresh blackberries & raspberries, drizzled with hot caramel & dollops of cool whipped cream. AND from start to finish – took 3 hours total 2 working as a team … kudos!!

“and all you highfalutin food blogging people I don’t care if you don’t understand” – danistrulytheman

this is in reference & response (with a bit of Skynyrd thrown in for fun, lol) to a lot of what I see lately, and my little bit o’ rubbin’ it in rebuttal re: previous post. too often too many have tunnel vision for nouveau-chic-cuisine that needs immediate braggin’ rights & blog love. not me. love my old school gems, love a good meal at a steal of a deal. yesterday was def a blog worthy meal. forgot to mention – working girl animatedly & emphatically told me I was gonna love it – yep, I did. + 2 soups + 2 buns + tip = $5.50. beat that foodiebloggingbitches.

but let me say one thing mama, sugar I do as I please

outside the wind is blowin’ it seems to call your name again

where have you gone

I’m just tryin’ to find me

a pretty smile that I can get into
it’s true I’m lost without you

why is it life turns out that way
just when you think you got a good thing
it seems to slip away

it’s warm outside no clouds are in the sky
but I need myself a place to go and hide
I keep it to myself
I don’t want nobody else
to see me cryin’ all those tears in my eyes

All Along the Watchtower

… sorry Jimi, takin’ ’bout Jehovah here … not that I endorse ANY religion, or prescribe to the concept of organized religion for that matter … ’cause I motherfucking DON’T  … and I ain’t lookin’ for Holy Rollers to click [follow] so please don’t … it’s not like one’s better (or worse) than any other … and for the record, I’m affiliated with none … and PROUDLY lettin’ ya know. I do believe in a higher power, am extremely aware and attuned to daily occurrences in my life that are outta the ordinary and difficult to explain, and while not sure how to classify it … maybe it’s God, (or A God) … maybe not, I dunno, but I do believe there’s more to this (life, I mean) than this!! Today (in my eyes) was proof of it … and my first thought was … Sham … but thinking and rethinking it deeper and further, backpedaling to the beginning … realized it WAS Angelo who set the wheels of this wonderful day in motion. Thanks for comin’a-knockin’ when you did … and thank you for the literature, and good luck helping/guiding others in your noble pursuit. Hmmm, Angelo – that means Angel, no?!?! And in a life comes full circle, a yinn’-yangin’ pushme-pullme equilibrium spiritual kinda way … attribute today’s good fortune to you my friend!!

and tomorrow we might wake on the other side

~don’t look at me~

every day is so wonderful
then suddenly it’s hard to breathe
now and then I get insecure
from all the pain I’m so ashamed

I am beautiful no matter what they say
words can’t bring me down
I am beautiful in every single way
yes words can’t bring me down oh no
so don’t you bring me down today

you are beautiful no matter what they say
words can’t bring you down oh no
you are beautiful in every single way
yes words can’t bring you down oh no
so don’t you bring me down today

’cause we are beautiful no matter what they say
yes words won’t bring us down oh no
we are beautiful in every single way
yes words can’t bring us down oh no
so don’t you bring me down today

the big bosomed lady with a Dutch accent who tried to change my point of view

you’re ageless timeless lace and fineness
you’re beauty and elegance

you’re a rhapsody a comedy
you’re a symphony and a play

you’re an essay in glamour
please pardon the grammar
but you’re every schoolboy’s dream
you’re Celtic United but baby I’ve decided
you’re the best team I’ve ever seen

I’ve been really trying … trying to hold back this feeling for so long … we’re all sensitive people with so much to give … many sad sacks appear to have both in spades, leaving me scratching my head wondering how you do it?! ‘Cause trust me, I ain’t the biggest loser of the lot – motherfucking far from it, and I know you have loyal followings … ‘CAUSE YA KEEP TELLING ME, lol … and ya incessantly keep begging me to whore myself out, pathethicattempting adding to yer lists, LOL!! Me? My huge slice of humble-handsome-pie? … I can proudly count my true-blue backers on two fingers … ardent readers (ok, glancers … sideways too – at best, lol … but I digress) of myalloverthefrickenmapbrilliance … and if I were to lose those 2fingers … trust me (again) … one way or another … would STILL def-give y’all the 1finger salute!! 😈

know it sounds funny but I just can’t stand the pain

seems to me girl you know I done all I can
you see I begged stole and I borrowed

I wanna be high so high
I wanna be free to know the things I do are right
I wanna be free – just me

why in the world would anybody put chains on me?

everybody wants me to be what they want me to be

… is why I’m easy – easy like Sunday morning

if you want to get your soul to heaven trust in me

now don’t you judge or question
you are broken now but faith can heal you
just do everything I tell you to do

Jesus Christ why don’t you come save my life now

open my eyes blind me with your light now

choices always were a problem for you
what you need is someone strong to guide you
deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow
what you need is someone strong to guide you
like me like me like me like me
