Been a whole lot easier since the bitch left town

It's been a whole lot happier without her face around

Nobody upstairs gonna stomp and shout

Nobody at the back door gonna throw my laundry out...

So let's talk about one-hit wonders...

 

(Yeah, I know, all of a sudden all four-hundred-and-thirty-two fans of Spin Doctors are going to comment with death threats. Please hear me out first.)

 

Trying to label someone a "one-hit wonder" is more than a little problematic. If we simply use the criteria that they are an act that has had only one top-forty hit, then there are numerous musicians out there who qualify, and yet were incredibly influential or otherwise had very successful careers: Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Grateful Dead, Iggy Pop... And then there are plenty of others out there who qualify, yet no one remembers the band or the song (who the fuck is "Mad Cobra"?). Still others may have success with only one song as a cross-over hit, yet continue to perform strong on alternative charts like country or R&B. And sometimes an act that qualifies as a one-hit wonder in one area of the world continues to enjoy success in another. After all, while USAmericans my only know Frankie Goes to Hollywood for "Relax", Brits can list any number of their songs that charted in the UK.

 

As well, it's not unusual for one-hit wonders to actually produce one entire album of really good (or at least pretty good) tuneage. Like Spin Doctors. While best known for "Little Miss Can't Be Wrong", their 1991 debut album is actually a decent assembly of music. In fact, out of ten tracks, only the last one is a song (or medley -- "Shinbone Alley/Hard to Exist") I find nigh-on unbearable.

 

So while I recognise that there are those who may want to disagree with my characterisation of some of the following as one-hit wonders, the fact of the matter is you can all just eat me.

 

Here are some of my favourite one-hit wonders...

I am missing my childhood days ... No worries .. No responsibility .. No heartaches .. No pain .. Just plain fun and Innocence..

Me taken today. Inspired by a little some I have called asthma :)

More Macro photography for Photo Club. This is with a DIY light tent. The figures are about 1/2 inch tall and the box is what they came in. You are supposed to tell them your worries and put them under your pillow at night. By Morning the worry people will have taken your worries away.

I've had a roll of film in my original viv for over 9 months. It's been a busy time but I've missed those plastic pleasures. Nice to be back

Silhouette of a little statue

Don't worry, I didn't just take a bunch of pictures of another doll and completely forget about this! I tried to upload it a little earlier and it "bonked" on me. But here we are at long last!

 

Three names you go by:

1. Christine

2. Dr. Price

Five dolls that will hopefully answer this...

I can never keep track of who's done this before, so I'm just going to say: everyone who wants to do it! I mean it, I want to see anyone and everyone! Go forth and take pictures of your dolls! (But I know Holly would really like to know more about WonderousBeef's Keane!)

What situations in your life do you need to declare "no worries" over? It´s time to put up the "stop sign" to worry because all worry does is steal your peace and distract you from God´s best. Are you having a struggle in a relationship today? No worries! God is the restorer. Are you having challenges with your job, fearful about layoffs? No worries! When you are faithful with the little, God will make you ruler over much. He is the One who brings promotion. Do you need a place to live or a better car to drive? No worries! God promises to supply all your needs according to His riches in glory. He provides shelter for the birds of the air, and He will take care of you! Make the decision today to close the door on worry so you can set your mind on the good things that God has in store for your future!

Worry is an emotion in which a person feels anxious or concerned about a real or imagined issue, ranging from personal issues such as health or finances to broader issues.

It's a Worry Hat! D'awww. I even got the blonde wig head out.

The top is much longer on this as it is made for someone with a fairly largeish head. If you're interested in knitting one, I can put the pattern up somewhere, it's insanely easy. :)

This is Tom Bond. He was running to become the president of our students' union – a job for a year. This was the day of the election.

 

He has little to worry about, he won, by quite a majority.

According to legend. Guatemalan children tell one worry to each doll they have when they go to bed at night, and place the dolls under their pillow. In the morning the dolls have taken their worries away.

Looks like the grammar went out the window then.

this is my brain, this week.

Last one to the hyperboloid structure is a rotten egg!

“Look at the birds in the sky; they do not sow or reap, they gather nothing into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are not you more important than they?

 

Can any of you by worrying add a single moment to your life-span?”

 

~Matthew 6:26-7

Besides one of the worst days of weather I remember since living here for 11 years - got a flat tire. On a Sunday. Luckily we made it back into the garage okay and my hubby saved the day changing it out. Even got it repaired at no charge the next day. Yea for for nails!!!

Why do children worry and fear? Already they feel loss and recognize trouble. It's good practice for later life.

Polaroids are a way to express yourself. They're full of surprises: when you take one, you never know what you will see in 2-3 minutes. Colours, texture, frame, everything is different in the polaroid world. And they are instantly ready. Santa's gift to the impatient kid.

That's why I say, save polaroid!

Don't worry, I didn't risk my life too much to get this shot!

 

This is on the Metro Blue Line, going above-ground at Pico near Staples Center. Apparently, at night they only ride one train from Union Station to Long Beach, which was the west track, so I stood on the east side and grabbed this picture as it was coming south from Union. Don't worry, I wasn't on the tracks!

 

In just over a year, the under-construct Metro Expo Line will share this same track with the Blue Line, but will cut off at USC and head west towards Santa Monica.
