A little slow today...need some motivation, a plan....may as well check out the PPL catalogue, always a good place to start...let's see, what will get me going today...something uplifting, something energizing...maybe I'll pluck something from the new CD, Craig probably has something which will light the fire....
" And I sure do miss you now
Morning ‘til the sun goes down
I believed beyond a doubt, when the time was right you’d be around
But the only thing I’m sure about tonight
Is I sure do miss you now"
Well, not quite what I had in mind, ....something else perhaps....
"Somewhere down that lonely track
There’s a lover leaving and she won’t be back
There’s a heart that’s breaking as the sun goes down
And the silence of goodbye is such a lonely sound "
No, no, that's not it, another great song but not quite what I'm looking for.....plenty more..let's check out another...I know Craig will get this day moving in the right direction..never fails....
" All your pictures went up in smoke
With every letter you wrote
I cleaned out your closet, there ain’t nothing left behind
I’ve done everything I could to get you off my mind.."
Hmmm.....maybe I'm taking the wrong approach, it must be me......keep looking it's there somewhere....
let's go Craig, make it happen for me buddy.....
"You better believe nobody needs you, be ready to bite the hand that feeds you
As you’re choking on the words you swore you’d never say
That’s just the cost of doing business these days"
....huh?...you're killing me here...maybe I was right after all, .....a new approach needed, this isn't working at all....not even close.....go back in time maybe...that's it....take it back to to the 70's....
maybe a little something from The Lizard will do the trick, from TLH, ah..there it is.....
" When I think of all the times we spent together seems like the rain begins to fall, 'cause in your eyes I see no hope for you and me..."
Memories ??? Geez, I don't need this kind of memory...hit the button...fast...move to '76 ....
OK, good ole George will have something, he always did...which one...give this a shot....
"It's been a long cold winter, bare black trees against an orange sky and your dreams go fading like the snow, if I could I would fly.."
...thanks George, gee I feel better already....maybe this wasn't such a good idea....wait another track...this will be the one...optimistic as usual....
" I don't know if I want to go on living, I don't think that I will even try, life is harder than I ever imagined, without you standing here right by my side, I just break down and cry.."
...............................................numb.....................speechless...........................a conspiracy, I'm certain.............who did I offend, when?..........never mind........one last shot..........wait-- the phone, be right back...............
" Hi Mike " " Try what ? " " OK, anything is worth a shot at this point, thanks."
" We'd like another round of drinks bartender, and would you please take all the empties away"
...hmmm, possibilities....a step in the right direction for sure.....what's that other one he said ? ....here it is....
" well won't somebody tell me what I did last night I can't seem to recomember a thing ..."
...a segue?...a before and after thing ?..what 's he trying to tell me ?...and what in God's name does recomember mean ? ....I'm having a hard enough time without deciphering something even Webster never heard of.... thanks anyway ...at least it took me in another direction..........................I know, Gill ! He's a cheerful little bluegrass boy.....
" I'm so cold and all alone in room 459.."
...wow...right back in the dumper, that didn't take long....who is this Janny Lou ?? ah, this is going nowhere...no wonder he ended up in the National Enquirer.....thanks for nothing pal.....
......it wasn't meant to be I guess.....there's the phone again...can't be bothered....who cares.....
"Craig ? " " Hey I wasn't poking fun, and I didn't write that stuff, you did ! "..........." I was simply looking for a plan of action for today, no big deal OK ?" " Calm down.... what's that ? "... " Really ? " " OK, I'll take your word for it....I guess I missed it on the first pass..... alright I'll try it....thanks..."
....well it's back to where I started.......going full circle.....I guess it's just one of those things........let's see what Craig's idea of a plan is, can't hurt .....
"Cause without you here shoutin’ in my ear
I could do just what I like
Lay around on the couch all day
And go out on the town all night "
Now we're talking !! Talk about uplifting, this looks like it's right up my alley !! Heck I was already on the couch for hours, it was easy !! I can do this, no problem, I really can ! In fact, somehow I think I may have done it a few times before........I knew it, a solid realistic plan is in the works...and a real fine one I might add ! I feel better already. I must leave now, time to get things rolling while I'm so energized.
