You and Me

I can’t believe it. I’m back. After a long drought I’m back to some creative writing. I’m sitting here downloading songs and it just comes to me. I used to love that feeling of having inspiration strike and let it flow through you. After having said that, you’re really not going to like what I’ve written but this one speaks to me on a couple of levels.

It was inspired by 2 specific events that happened this week. One was by an action taken by Superman, which I really don’t need to discuss. I’m actually proud he took the step and – well, maybe pride is not called for, but – I’m happy for him.

The other event happened to me. Honestly, the actual event hasn’t happened but it’s been discussed. It’s only been discussed by one of the members of the event. Confused?

It’s about something I wish would happen, I’d like to happen but shouldn’t happen. Prepare your jaws to drop: it’s about an affair with a married woman.

{gasp!}

I know what you’re thinking. I can see that sly smile on your face. “I’ve done it before”, he says. “I know right where you’re at”, he says.

With that in mind, here is “All About You and Me” (p.s. – Superman, this is less about you than you think)



It makes perfect sense
It really does
It’s not about what it will be
It’s all about what it was

It’s totally filled with lies
That’s why it seems so real
It’s not about how it sounds
It’s all about how it feels

It’s almost like a dream
At least for me
It’s not about what you think
It’s all about what you see

You wake up, roll over and there I’ll be
Mistakes that will cost you, all of them free
You look up and wonder
The spell you were under
It’s all about you and me

It’s a practical fantasy
Someone else hurt
It’s not about the kissing
It’s all about dropping your skirt

It’s almost too funny
Us speaking like this
It’s not about the talking
It’s all about the kiss

It’s a primary challenge
It can’t be denied
It’s not about the passion
It’s all about someone who lied

You get up, call me and there I’ll be
Long distance missives, all of them free
You shake up your lifestyle
Because it’s been a while
It’s all about you and me

It makes perfect sense
If you’re asking me
It’s not about what it was
It’s all about what it will be

Top 10 Cartoon Duo's

This time out the subject is Top 10 Cartoon Duo’s. I was only going to make this a Top 5 list but I had so many entries to work with, I added the last 5. Here’s the list is no particular order – wait, that’s not right… 10. Ren & Stimpy: Call this entry the ‘Odd Couple’ of the group. A cat and a dog (I think) living together and making their way despite their obvious instincts to be sworn enemies. I have to admit that this cartoon was hard to watch sometimes because of the ‘gross’ nature of both characters – pooping and boogers a big part of the vernacular. “Oh, Re-e-e-n?”, “Yes, Stimpy!” 9. Inspector Gadget & Penny: An uncle and his niece go around solving crimes against Dr. Claw. It was actually Gadget and his dog, Brain, that tried to solve the crimes and Penny that actually solved them. She would tell Brain the solution and that crazy dog would expend a great deal of energy trying to make the Inspector understand the solution. Finally, when Inspector Gadget would ‘stumble...

The ‘Ol One-Two Punch

In an effort to follow-up on my job hunt, I must tell you that I was not offered a job from either company for which I interviewed. The first company I visited actually had me come back again. I saw this as a good sign. It is generally accepted to inquire about the status of the position a week after interviewing, which I was prepared to do. They couldn’t wait until Thursday and sent me a ‘dear john’ letter on Wednesday. The second company I was pretty sure wasn’t going to make me an offer. When I walked out of the office (after the interview) I just felt like they were looking for someone I’m not. Officially, the owner said he would have a decision made before Friday but, like I said, I’m not holding my breath. He said he had 4 or 5 candidates and – unless all of them decline – I’m not expecting to hear from him. Finding a job is tough. I spend a couple of hours a day looking through all the online postings, waiting to find one for which I’m qualified. It’s almost like begging, which ...

Only Always

Parents – You know, my parents celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary a few Saturdays ago and I didn’t even mention anything about it. That’s quite an accomplishment. The weather held out (meaning it wasn’t overly hot) but I’m finding that I got bit all to hell by the bugs. My legs are tore up from the floor up. Date – Yea, I had a date on Saturday but it was so un-interesting I didn’t even lead off with it. She had really pretty eyes but that’s all I can say that was positive. Everything else was neutral. I don’t know that I have much else to discuss. I was thinking this was going to be longer but nothing much is happening. Workdays are going by faster because there’s SO much going on and a lot of people are out. One of the women in Accounting just left so it leaves them short-handed. To catch up it is estimated they need about 12 people in that department. Currently there are 2. The woman that reports to me is out on vacation for another week so I continue to do her job. I shoul...
