OUCH!

You tell me lies, lies, lies
Sweet little lies
When I cannot bear the truth
You tell me lies, lies, lies
Sweet little lies
Help me make them all come true

Tell me that the rain won’t fall today
Tell me that the tax man lost his way (oh, oh)
Tell me that the hurtin aint gonna hurt no more
Tell me that somebody stopped the war (please tell me)

Tell me lies, lies, lies
Sweet little lies
When I cannot bear the truth
You tell me lies, lies, lies
Sweet little lies
Help me make them all come true

I said yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I said yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Tell me that the whole world’s wonderful (yes it is)
Tell me that the bank account’s too full
Tell me that we all got plenty of time, time, time (tell me somethin)
Tell me that I ain’t gonna lose my mind

Tell me lies, lies, lies
Sweet little lies
When I cannot bear the truth
Tell me lies, lies, lies
Sweet little lies
Help me make them all come true

And you know I’m just a man
With my heart in my hand
You tell me things at home
And go once more and leave me alone
And even though I got no place
For I’m on the run from the man
Just hold on to me
Just hold on to me

Everytime I need a prayer
Everytime I need to share
Everytime I need someone to hold on to me

Tell me lies, lies, lies
Sweet little lies
When I cannot bear the truth
Tell me lies, lies, lies
Sweet little lies
Help me make them all come true

Help me make them all come true
Help me make them all come true
Help me make them all come true
Help me make them all come true
Help me make them all come true
Tell me that the whole world’s wonderful

Sweet Little Lies, Michael Franti

There was a lot of "monkeying around" this week.

Here are some random video clips that I took during the week…a bit silly…

When the rain is blowing in your face,
And the whole world is on your case,
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love.

When the evening shadows and the stars appear,
And there is no one there to dry your tears,
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love.

I know you haven’t made your mind up yet,
But I would never do you wrong.
I’ve known it from the moment that we met,
No doubt in my mind where you belong.

I’d go hungry; I’d go black and blue,
I’d go crawling down the avenue.
No, there’s nothing that I wouldn’t do
To make you feel my love.

The storms are raging on the rolling sea
And on the highway of regret.
Though winds of change are blowing wild and free,
You ain’t seen nothing like me yet.

I could make you happy, make your dreams come true.
Nothing that I wouldn’t do.
Go to the ends of the Earth for you,
To make you feel my love.

Make You Feel My Love, Adele

Last week was the week of the cupcake. On Thursday Gail and I made the pilgrimage to Kind Food in Burlington to indulge in the world’s best cupcakes. These cupcakes are: butter-free, casein free, dairy-free, egg-free, gluten-free, lard-free, peanut-free, refined sugar-free, soy-free, kosher, vegan and fucking AMAZING! 12 of these bad boys came home with us and from Thursday to Sunday I had a cupcake a day. Despite the cupcake insanity, on Sunday I was still a welter weight. If there is a greater power, it wrapped me in its embrace this week.

Many a hand has scaled the grand old face of the plateau
Some belonged to strangers, some to folks you know
Holy ghosts and talk show hosts are planted in the sand
To beautify the foothills, and shake the many hands

nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop
And an illustrated book about birds
See a lot up there but don’t be scared
Who needs action when you (got) words

finished with the mop then you can stop
And look at what you’ve done
The plateau’s clean, no dirt to be seen
And the work it was fun

nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop
And an illustrated book about birds
See a lot up there but don’t be scared
Who needs action when you (got) words

Many a hands began to scan around for the next plateau
Some say it was Greenland, and some say Mexico
Others decided it was nowhere except for where they stood
But those were all just guesses, wouldn’t help you if they could

Plateau, Nirvana

Technical Sparring w/ Wayne – 2

This is the round that I mentioned earlier. The one in which Wayne comes close to knocking me to my knees with a right to the solar plexus.
