It's been so long since you've been a friend of mine.
Another one of my picks for Musically Challenged.
Today i feel blue. I don't really know why.
343/365
For Musically Challenged and
Bench Monday
When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
Tears stream down on your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down on your face
And on your face I...
Tears stream down on your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down on your face
And on your face I...
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
Two weeks in NOLA for the mardi gras 2017
Founded in 1993, the Krewe of Orpheus takes its name from the musically-inclined son of Zeus and Calliope. Founding members included Harry Connick, both the junior and senior.
In New Orleans, the krewe established themselves as a superkrewe with their first parade in 1994, which rolled with 700 riders. They were the first super Krewe to allow both male and female riders.
The Krewe's throws include a number of popular items including emblem beads, stuffed animals, signature beads, light-up Orpheus medallion beads, cups, three different types of doubloons, and 4-foot-long stuffed dragons.
They have a number of notable floats including the Dolly Trolley, the horse-drawn bus that was used in the opening of Hello Dolly with Barbra Streisand, the Smoking Mary which is a six unit float that looks like a steam locomotive, a Trojan horse and the Orpheus Leviathan Float, which is a three unit, 139-foot float, and the first Carnival float to use extensive fiber optic lighting.
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Fats Domino wass the honorary grand marshall for 2014. His eldest son, Antoine Domino III, rode in the parade and perform his 85 year old father's music.
In addition to Fats Domino, Quentin Tarantino reigned as the krewe's celebrity monarch.

Everything will be fine
Everything in no time at all

And know your name
And go your own way

My tenor sax is my baby...well, between the flute, piano, and this, it's definitely my favorite. Makes me feel sexxxay hehe, like Lisa Simpson (sexy-nerdy?).
It was INCREDIBLY windy tonight. Just imagine: my sb600 remotely attached to a ball-head, attached to a flash stand, about 8ft in the air -- I had to take this shot, FAST! But I'm quite happy with the result :-) Playin' the blues, but don't worry, I'm not feelin' the blues!
Day 293 Year 3 And freezing in the process. Hahah oh my! This.....was not an easy situation today.

Rubber Duckie~ by Ernie!
Rubber Duckie you're the one
You make bath time lots of fun
Rubber Duckie I'm awfully fond of you
Rubber Duckie joy of joys
When I squeeze you, you make noise
Rubber Duckie you're my very best friend it's true
I find a little fellow who's cute and yellow and chubby
Rub a dub dubby
Rubber Duckie you're so fine and I'm lucky that you're mine
Rubber Duckie I'd like a whole pond of you
Rubber Duckie I'm awfully fond of you
Lady GaGa~Poker Face
This is my best poker face. I bet you can't guess what I'm thinking here...;-) This is such a cute song. This was a quick shot to get something posted. I will be so glad when this week is over so I can get back to living my life.
I wanna rock-n-roll
I wanna give my soul
I'm wanting to belielve
I'm not too old
Don't want to make it up
Don't want to let you down
I want to fly away
But i'm stuck on the ground

I got absolutely zero writing done today, despite spending seven hours at the coffee shop. I did, however, get a lot of reading done. Sometimes there are days like this. Especially right after super productive days like yesterday was. I don't mind. I'll be back at it tomorrow. :) And we have a bye in soccer tonight, which means I get to relax at home with the hubs. Good day. Hope yours was too.

The Bells
E.A. Poe, 1849
I
Hear the sledges with the bells-
Silver bells!
What a world of merriment their melody foretells!
How they tinkle, tinkle, tinkle,
In the icy air of night!
While the stars that oversprinkle
All the heavens, seem to twinkle
With a crystalline delight;
Keeping time, time, time,
In a sort of Runic rhyme,
To the tintinnabulation that so musically wells
From the bells, bells, bells, bells,
Bells, bells, bells-
From the jingling and the tinkling of the bells.
II
Hear the mellow wedding bells,
Golden bells!
What a world of happiness their harmony foretells!
Through the balmy air of night
How they ring out their delight!
From the molten-golden notes,
And an in tune,
What a liquid ditty floats
To the turtle-dove that listens, while she gloats
On the moon!
Oh, from out the sounding cells,
What a gush of euphony voluminously wells!
How it swells!
How it dwells
On the Future! how it tells
Of the rapture that impels
To the swinging and the ringing
Of the bells, bells, bells,
Of the bells, bells, bells,bells,
Bells, bells, bells-
To the rhyming and the chiming of the bells!
III
Hear the loud alarum bells-
Brazen bells!
What a tale of terror, now, their turbulency tells!
In the startled ear of night
How they scream out their affright!
Too much horrified to speak,
They can only shriek, shriek,
Out of tune,
In a clamorous appealing to the mercy of the fire,
In a mad expostulation with the deaf and frantic fire,
Leaping higher, higher, higher,
With a desperate desire,
And a resolute endeavor,
Now- now to sit or never,
By the side of the pale-faced moon.
Oh, the bells, bells, bells!
What a tale their terror tells
Of Despair!
How they clang, and clash, and roar!
What a horror they outpour
On the bosom of the palpitating air!
Yet the ear it fully knows,
By the twanging,
And the clanging,
How the danger ebbs and flows:
Yet the ear distinctly tells,
In the jangling,
And the wrangling,
How the danger sinks and swells,
By the sinking or the swelling in the anger of the bells-
Of the bells-
Of the bells, bells, bells,bells,
Bells, bells, bells-
In the clamor and the clangor of the bells!
IV
Hear the tolling of the bells-
Iron Bells!
What a world of solemn thought their monody compels!
In the silence of the night,
How we shiver with affright
At the melancholy menace of their tone!
For every sound that floats
From the rust within their throats
Is a groan.
And the people- ah, the people-
They that dwell up in the steeple,
All Alone
And who, tolling, tolling, tolling,
In that muffled monotone,
Feel a glory in so rolling
On the human heart a stone-
They are neither man nor woman-
They are neither brute nor human-
They are Ghouls:
And their king it is who tolls;
And he rolls, rolls, rolls,
Rolls
A paean from the bells!
And his merry bosom swells
With the paean of the bells!
And he dances, and he yells;
Keeping time, time, time,
In a sort of Runic rhyme,
To the paean of the bells-
Of the bells:
Keeping time, time, time,
In a sort of Runic rhyme,
To the throbbing of the bells-
Of the bells, bells, bells-
To the sobbing of the bells;
Keeping time, time, time,
As he knells, knells, knells,
In a happy Runic rhyme,
To the rolling of the bells-
Of the bells, bells, bells:
To the tolling of the bells,
Of the bells, bells, bells, bells-
Bells, bells, bells-
To the moaning and the groaning of the bells.
-THE END-
El claustre major, gòtic, va ser fet construir el 1313 per Jaume II, per substituir-ne un de més antic, d'estil romànic, del qual es conserva el templet hexagonal del lavatori. Cal destacar-ne la decoració dels capitells, que representen un ampli repertori d'iconografia medieval. Des del claustre podem pujar al dormitori, que és una gran sala amb arcs apuntats. Des d'aquí, es pot accedir a la Torre de les Hores i al cimbori.
La sala capitular és de planta quadrada, i allí és on podem trobar diferents tombes dels antics abats del monestir. Les voltes són sostingudes amb columnes.
______________________________________
El claustro actual se debe a la mano del maestro inglés Reinard de Fonoll, a cuya obra dio continuidad Guillem de Seguer, quien probablemente ejecutase la tracería de los ventanales. Es de un refinado estilo gótico exultante en sus arcuaciones, en las estilizadas columnas, en las bóvedas de ojiva y en la exuberante ornamentación de los capiteles de gran riqueza iconográfica, con motivos vegetales, animales, figurativos y narrativos con escenas bíblicas. Contiene las tumbas murales de algunos nobles catalanes, y quedan restos de pinturas, una de ellas representando la Anunciación.

Santes Creus is a Cistercian monastery in Catalunya, Spain. It was started in 1158 and is today considered one of the finest preserved monastic sites in Southern Europe.
[edit] History
The monastery was started in 1158 and was finished within 50 years. In its early period, the monastery was a center of intellectual and political activity and was comparable to the Poblet Monastery. Fortified in 1375 by Pedro IV, it played an important role in the creation of the Order of Montesa, a refuge for Aragonese Knights Templar after the abolition of their order.
The activities of the monastery continued largely uninterrupted until the Napoleonic invasion of Spain, which led to its eventual demise in 1835 at which time the monastery was sacked and burned. Shortly thereafter, several ex-monks erected it as a parish Church and worked slowly toward its restoration. It is today in the hands of the Generalitat de Catalunya.

She's totally committed
To major independence
But she's a lady through and through
She gives them quite a battle
All that they can handle
She'll bruise some
She'll hurt some too
But oh they love to watch her strut
Oh they do respect her but
They love to watch her strut
Her Strut by Bob Seger

Ok, show of hands, who else fights with seasonal depression/seasonal affective disorder? *raises hand* It hasn't been as bad since I started taking SAM-e at the advice of my friend Lori, but I still feel it lurking there, just beneath the surface. So instead of feeling depressed, I just feel...weird and unsettled. Just curious if anyone else deals with this every winter. It'd be nice to have someone to chat with who understands.
I took these shots right after an early evening nap. I had to get up ridiculously early this morning to drive up north for a hearing. And since we were supposed to have a massive winter storm, I had to leave myself an extra hour to make the drive. Of course we didn't get the kind of killer storm that was predicted, but I didn't know that until I was on the road. So I got to court way early and could have slept longer. Awesome. Anyway, I wanted a relatively easy shot today, so I dipped into the bag of goodies that Kel-Z sent me recently and decided to play with her sequins. Thanks Kelsey!

I love Rock n' Roll
I saw him dancing there by the record machine
I knew he must have been about seventeen
The beat was going strong,
playing my favorite song
And I could tell it wouldn't be long
till he was with me, yeah, me
And I could tell it wouldn't be long
till he was with me, yeah, me, singin'
CHORUS:
I love rock 'n' roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock 'n' roll
So come and take your time and dance with me
He smiled, so I got up and asked for his name
"That don't matter," he said,
"'cause it's all the same."
I said, "Can I take you home
where we can be alone?"
And next we were moving on
and he was with me, yeah, me
Next we were moving on
and he was with me, yeah, me, singin'
CHORUS
I said, "Can I take you home
where we can be alone?"
And next we were moving on
and he was with me, yeah, me, singin'
Our Flickr friend Nina posted this texture and said she was waiting to see what I did with it. I combined it with this shot of an angel on a building in Fort Worth (Bass Performance Hall) and also a great texture from skeletalmess to achieve this look.

Maeve: “Who are your heroes?”
Elliot: “Musically: Nina Simone, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and Led Zeppelin. And for every reason: whoever stands out from the ocean of noise as a pure drop lying in it. I mean the kinda drop you can see from sea miles away even if there ain’t no lighthouse nearby. There’s gotta be something special about a person until I can call them my hero. I guess… one of them could be my sister Indy. Yeah, she can survive from anything. She’s my hero number one. And Gauri from the International Fashion Royalty Jet Set Diva contest. But that’s ‘cause I saw her up-close when I went to Paris after a bass that got lost along the way when I moved here, so I know she’s a foxy lady. And… yeah, special. And then this li’l girl named Olga, who wrote me a letter to ask for such a simple thing as a poster. Those are my heroes.” (He smiled brightly. Clearly he likes talking about his heroes. No mention of Sybil, though. Hmm… But you have to remember that this interview happened on the day of his latest gig at Honey’s, when Sybil was still seeing Hallam. There must have been some bitterness in the air.)
Maeve: “Fans want to know – are you still an eligible bachelor?”
Elliot: “Eligible? That’s a joke, right? Hell no! Never was. Bachelor? I’ve a feeling I may be that for the next 50 years! Har har har…” (He laughed with his eyes closed. Umm… No, Elliot. You couldn’t be more wrong, as you have noticed by now. About being a bachelor, I mean. I can’t comment on whether or not he is eligible. Figure it out by yourself.)
Maeve: “What's your dream date?”
Elliot: “Ahh… It’s been so long since I’ve been on a date… Ummm…" (Here he took a long thinking pause, during which he lighted a cigarette. Ay-ay… I keep telling him to quit smoking.) "Sitting on a river bend in the moonlight, playing a guitar for her, while eating a big hamburger… No! Spaghetti! From a shared plate, next to a garbage can, Lady and the Tramp style. Or sitting at a long table, eating soup without a spoon… until the gal offers me one, Beauty and the Beast style. ‘Cause I’m like that Tramp, or that Beast. Gosh, I love Disney! But the difference between me and a Disney hero is… after the dinner I’d stay over at the gal’s. And we wouldn’t be reading books.” (He winked suggestively. But of course…)

No clouds in my storms
Let it rain, I hydroplane in the bank
Coming down with the Dow Jones
When the clouds come we gone, we Rocafella
We fly higher than weather
And G5’s are better, You know me,
an anticipation, for precipitation. Stacked chips for the rainy day
Jay, Rain Man is back with little Ms. Sunshine
Rihanna where you at?
[Rihanna]
You have my heart
And we'll never be worlds apart
May be in magazines
But you'll still be my star
Baby cause in the dark
You can't see shiny cars
And that's when you need me there
With you I'll always share
Because
[Chorus]
When the sun shines, we’ll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be a friend
Took an oath I'ma stick it out till the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh eh eh eh)
These fancy things, will never come in between
You're part of my entity, here for Infinity
When the war has took it's part
When the world has dealt it's cards
If the hand is hard, together we'll mend your heart
Because
[Chorus]
When the sun shines, we’ll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be a friend
Took an oath I'ma stick it out till the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh eh eh eh)
You can run into my arms
It's OK don't be alarmed
Come here to me
There's no distance in between our love
So go on and let the rain pour
I'll be all you need and more
Because
[Chorus]
When the sun shines, we’ll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be a friend
Took an oath I'ma stick it out till the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)

It's raining

Finally broke through my plateau. I'm officially down 31 lbs since I started working to lose weight in June. These jeans I'm wearing in the picture? They haven't seen the light of day in five years. For five years they've been buried at the bottom of various drawers, gathering dust. No more! The free shopping out of my own closet has begun. I'm only about halfway to my goal, but it feels good to finally have the scale moving down again.
Still no dead groundhog (thank god).

I get the feeling that it's two against one,
I'm already fighting me so what's another one?
the mirror is a trigger and your mouth's a gun,
lucky for me I'm not the only one
and if it looks to me like you and your reflection
plan to add your own fire to this dimension
then tell it that this is ain't no free for all to see
there's only three... it's just you and me against me

OK, everyone has to do this cliché shot sometime.... and I thought it suitable for Great Big Sea's Mari-Mac. I searched out our copy of Dickens's Great Expectations for this especially, given that this is what marriage is all about.
However it's also about Confrontation..... Any marriage that doesn't have "confrontation" in it probably won't last. Natalee & I have been together 27 years now (married for 20) and hardly a week (day?) goes by when we don't argue at some point. Much healthier for a relationship to work out differences when you need to. Some of our friends who are now divorced / separated used to say "Oh we never argue...."

There's a neat little lass and her name is Mari Mac
Make no mistake, she's the girl I'm gonna track
Lot of other fellas try to get her on her back
But I'm thinking that they'll have to get up early

Mari Mac's mother's making Mari Mac marry me
My mother's making me marry Mari Mac
Well I'm going to marry Mari for when Mari's taking care of me
We'll all be feeling merry when I marry Mari Mac

Elveeta Presley, being the great-granddaughter of Elvis' unknown but musically ingenious sister Elvette, decided to dedicate her life to music.
"I know that Elvis casts a long shadow; he is The King. But I'm not trying to fool anybody into thinking I'm a female Elvis, even if I am wearing this 'Chicks Rule' T-shirt," Elveeta recently told Rolling Stone magazine before performing at a small music venue. "I'm just being myself, entertaining people by doing what I love."
An up-and-coming singer, Elveeta, unlike Elvis, wrote most of the music she performed. Yet, she loved to pay homage to the early days of Rock by singing such songs as Fats Domino's "I'm Gonna Be a Wheel Someday," one of her favorites.
"I love that song because it's about feeling that you're important even if someone breaks up with you or doesn't like you; you can move past a situation where you were rejected.
"Plus, to me, the song's also about how you can't let someone else make you feel inferior; you're still valuable as a person and we're all trying to progress in life--well, most of us," Elveeta explained.
"I'm gonna be a wheel someday
I'm gonna be somebody
I'm gonna be a real gone cat
Then I won't want you
Everything's gonna go my way
And I won't need nobody
I'm gonna be a real gone cat
Then I won't want you
You can cry, you can sigh
You'll be wonderin' why I don't look at you
When I go strollin' by
I'm gonna be a wheel someday
I'm gonna be somebody
I'm gonna be a real gone cat
Then I won't want you..."
--"I'm Gonna Be a Wheel Someday" by Fats Domino
Day 8 - Travel to NOLA - February 2024
Founded in 1993, the Krewe of Orpheus takes its name from Zeus and Calliope?s musically inclined son. Founding members include musician/actor Harry Connick, Jr. and his father, Harry Connick, Sr., former New Orleans district attorney. With their first parade in 1994, the Krewe of 700 members established itself as a super Krewe. They were the first super Krewe to allow both male and female riders.
The krewe?s throws include a number of sought-after items, including light-up Orpheus medallion beads, three different types of doubloons - Captain's, Krewe, & Musical Legends, four-foot-long stuffed dragons, and their prized throw is a custom decorated tambourine.
Notable floats include the Dolly Trolley, the horse-drawn bus that was used in the opening of Hello Dolly with Barbra Streisand. There?s also the Smoking Mary, an eight-unit float that looks like a steam locomotive. And everyone loves the three-unit, 139-foot Orpheus Leviathan Float, the first Carnival float to use extensive fiber optic lighting.
Over the years, Orpheus monarchs have included Fats Domino, Quentin Tarantino, Sandra Bullock, Glenn Close, Whoopi Goldberg, Stevie Wonder, Laurence Fishburne, Forrest Whitaker, Brad Paisley, Anne Rice and Toby Keith.
Unlike many Carnival events which are members-only, visitors are allowed to buy tickets to the black-tie Orpheuscapade, a musical extravaganza after the parade in the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center.
Year founded: 1993
Membership: 1500 male and female riders
Number of floats: 38 floats (including tandems)Day 8

Thats for damn sure! It's April 19th and it is once again snowing outside. Don't get me wrong, the sun was out earlier and it was a balmy 31 degrees. Come on Mother Nature, lets switch tracks and try something a little warmer?!?!
I shot this a few weeks ago when the sun was actually out and the weather was OK.

As soon as I love her it's been too long
Talks of future with you caves me in
Swallow my sugar kiss and eat it alone
Hearts get light and smash any dreams of love
These girls fall like dominos, dominos
These girls fall like dominos, dominos
These girls fall like dominos, dominos, dominos
Three words we shared said too early on
Stuck with forever float upon a tear
Swimming with the fear where we slowly drown
Ending at never arching melody
These girls fall like dominos, dominos

Make-up shot for 256.365 and my week hosting Musically Challenged. Haha..
The day I had planned on taking it, Amy Winehouse passed away. And I'm the kind of person that doesn't like to do things that appear to be as if I'm looking or asking for attention; because I'm just not purposely trying to do that. So, I waited b/c I didn't want it to necessarily be a tribute to Amy, in lieu of her death, but rather b/c I like the song. And I love Stella Artois - but not from a can.
Meet you downstairs in the bar and hurt,
Your rolled up sleeves in your skull t-shirt,
You say "what did you do with him today?",
And sniffed me out like I was Tanqueray,
'Cause you're my fella, my guy,
Hand me your stella and fly,
By the time I'm out the door,
You tear men down like Roger Moore,
I cheated myself,
Like I knew I would,
I told you I was trouble,
Upstairs in bed, with my ex boy,
He's in a place, but I can't get joy,
Thinking on you in the final throes,
This is when my buzzer goes,
Run out to meet you, chips and pitta,
You say 'when we married",
'cause you're not bitter,
"There'll be none of him no more,"
I cried for you on the kitchen floor,
I cheated myself,
Like I knew I would,
I told you I was trouble,
You know that I'm no good,
Sweet reunion, Jamaica and Spain,
We're like how we were again,
I'm in the tub, you on the seat,
Lick your lips as I soak my feet,
Then you notice little carpet burn,
My stomach drops and my guts churn,
You shrug and it's the worst,
Who truly stuck the knife in first
I cheated myself,
Like I knew I would
I told you I was trouble,
You know that I'm no good
Get it together
Another sunset.......... I know thats two days in a row.... which for England in April is quite an acheivement anyway.

1-2 1-2 Keep It On
Listen To The Shit Because We Kick It Until Dawn
Listen To The Abstract Got It Going On
Listen To The Ladies Come On And Let Me Spawn
All Your Eggs Then You Go Up The River
Listen To The Abstract That Freaky Nigger
I'm Ad Rock And I Shock And I Tick And I Tock
And I Can't Stop With The Body Rock
See I've Got Heart Like John Starks
Hitting Mad Sparks
Pass Me The Mic
And I'll Be Rocking The Whole Park
I'm The M To The C To The A And It's A Must
The Rhymes That We Bust On The Topic On Lust
And My Moms Is Not Butt, But Fuck It
Let Me Get Down To The Rhythm
Yes I'm Getting Funky And I'm Shooting All My Jism
Like John Holmes, The X-rated Nigger
Listen To The Shit 'Cause I'm The Ill Figure
Nobody's Getting Any Bigger Than This
Get It Together, Get It Together
Phone is Ringing, Oh My God
Get It Together
See What's Happening
Ad Rock Down With The Ione
Listen To The Shit Because Both Of Them Is Boney
Got To Do It Like This Like Chachi And Joanie
Because She's The Cheese And I'm The Macaroni
So Why All The Fight And Why All The Fuss
Becasue I Ain't Got No Dust
Yea, You Know I'm Getting Silly
I've Got A Grandma Hazel And A Grandma Tilly
Grand Royal prez And I'm Also A Member
Born On The Cusp In The Month Of November
I Do The Patty Duke In Case You Don't Remember
Well, I Freak A Funky Beat Like The Shit Was In A Blender
Well, I'm Long Gone Word Is Born
Don't Need A Mother Fucking Fool Telling Me Right From Wrong
I Don't Think I'm Slick Nor Do I Play Like I'm Hard
But I'm a Drive The Lane Like I Was Evan Bernhard
And I've Working On My Game Because Life Is Taxing
Got To Get It Together And See What's Happening
Get It Together, Get It Together
Get It Together
See What's Happening
I Go One Two Like My Name Was Biz Mark
But I Had To Do The Shit Just Let Me Embark
On The Lyric And The Noun And The Verb
Let's Kick The Shit Off 'Cause Yo, I'm Not The Herb
Well, It's Not The Herb But The Spice With The Flavor To Spare
The Moog With The Funk For Your Derriere
While We're On That Topic, Yes I Like To Mention
When It Comes To Boning I'm Representing
Spacing, Zoning, Talkin' On The Phone And
My Brain Is Roaming And I Don't Know Where It's Going
Talking Lots Of Shit A Little Tweaking On The Weekend
I've Got To Get Him By The Reigns Because I Know That I'm Freaking
Well, I'm A Funky Skull And I'm A Scorpio
And When I Get My Flow I'm Dr On The Go
So Q-tip, What You On The Mic For
Because I Had To Talk About The Times That I Rhyme
And When M.C.S Come In My Face, I'm Like Mace
Because I Back Them Off With The Quills
Nigger 'Cause I Tell You, Nigger 'Cause I'll Keep You Under Prills
Resting On Nine One One Sixteenth Ave Off The Farmes Boulevard
I'm From Manhattan M.C.A.'s From Brooklyn
Yea, M.C.A., Your Shit Be Cooking
Praying Mantis On The Court And I Can't Be Beat
So, Yo Tip, What's Up With The Boot On Your Feet
I've Got The Timbos On The Toes And This Is How It Goes
Oh One Two, Oh My God
One Two, Oh My God, I've Got Some Shit
I've Got The Kung Fu Grip Behind My Green Trap Kit
Never Ever Ever Smoking Crack
Never Ever Ever Fucking Wack
I Eat The Fuckin' Pineapple Now & Laters
Listen To Me Now, Don't Listen To Me Later
Fuck It 'Cause I Know I Didn't Make It Fuckin' Rhyme For Real
But, Yo Technically I'm As Hard As Steel
Gonna Get It Together, Watch It, Gonna Get It Together Ma Bell
I'm Like Ma Bell, I've Got The Ill Communications

Somedays aren't yours at all,
They come and go
As if they're someone else's days
They come and leave you behind someone else's face
And it's harsher than yours
And colder than yours
- Regina Spektor, Somedays
I can't believe I only have one more day left to get everything done before I leave. I'm jumping out of my skin to get on the road. And also getting my routine pre-trip anxiety. But that will all settle as soon as I'm driving, I'm sure. I think I'm mostly just getting a little anxious about being away from my husband and our pets for so long. But I will be seeing so many good friends and family along the way, that I'm sure the time will fly faster that I want it to. So I'm just going to enjoy myself! There's plenty of time to stress out when I get home and immediately start the installation for Art Fair! :)
