The Ugly Truth

From the cradle to the grave You will always be a slave To the quiet darkness of your memories

Music for the Weekend

Don't Worry About The Government

I see the clouds that move across the sky
I see the wind that moves the clouds away
It moves the clouds over by the building
I pick the building that I want to live in

I smell the pine trees and the peaches in the woods
I see the pinecones that fall by the highway
That's the highway that goes to the building
I pick the building that I want to live in

It's over there, it's over there
My building has every convenience
It's gonna make life easy for me
It's gonna be easy to get things done
I will relax alone with my loved ones

Loved ones, loved ones visit the building,
Take the highway, park and come up and see me
I'll be working, working but if you come visit
I'll put down what I'm doing, my friends are important

Don't you worry 'bout me
I wouldn't worry about me
Don't you worry 'bout me
Don't you worry 'bout me

I see the states, across this big nation
I see the laws made in Washington, D.C.
I think of the ones I consider my favorites
I think of the people that are working for me

Some civil servants are just like my loved ones
They work so hard and they try to be strong
I'm a lucky guy to live in my building
They own the buildings to help them along

It's over there, it's over there
My building has every convenience
It's gonna make life easy for me
It's gonna be easy to get things done
I will relax along with my loved ones

Loved ones, loved ones visit the building
Take the highway, park and come up and see me
I'll be working, working but if you come visit
I'll put down what I'm doing, my friends are important

I wouldn't worry 'bout
I wouldn't worry about me
Don't you worry 'bout me
Don't you worry 'bout ME..........

You Are Beautiful

I've had mixed feelings on some of Dove's campaigns over the past few years. But this one nails it.
As a corporate communications manager, I have been amazed at how often my female colleagues will complain about photos taken at events or ask me to remove photos of them from intranet postings. Not for any reason other than, "I look horrible." We have just a scant number of intact photos of my grandmother. In most photos she not so delicately used her fingernail to punch a little hole where her face belonged. So sad. Embrace your face ladies.

Don't let nobody push you down.

At 3:20..."Don't let nobody push you down."

Wrapping The Week

 Eugene Delacoix, The Unmade Bed, 1828

Painting tonight and all day tomorrow. Decided on Lamb (a soft white) for bedroom. A nice addition to Heavy Goose in the living room. An entire menagerie of paint colors. After all these decisions about paint, I want a peaceful respite in our room. Nothing. Still. White. Looking forward to my first nap in the new house...probably sometime in April. Happy Weekend to you.

Always a fan of Sultan's lemons.

I'd share a drink with anyone at this place.

These green chairs!

Can't explain how much I love this redition of Don't Explain.

Inferna

Inferna is a poem-cycle by Stefene Russell, a contemporary underworld journey in miniature, told through nine cycles of three poems each and is the first installment of a planned trilogy that will mirror Dante's Divine Comedy.

Stefene and I worked on 52nd City Magazine together and she is part of the annual Kick Ass Awards. She is involved in countless wonderful causes around town. Her heart is huge and her talents are boundless. And if you can't already tell, I think a lot of her.

Isn't this so great? Apparently there is a feature-length documentary in the works.
