The Obvious Child

I'm accustomed to a smooth ride
Or maybe I'm a dog who's lost its bite
I don't expect to be treated like a fool no more
I don't expect to sleep through the night
Some people say a lie's a lie's a lie
But I say why
Why deny the obvious child?
Why deny the obvious child?

--Paul Simon

home to paul simon singing to me ... yeah.. im doing just fine. =-)

yeah you won't sleep better alone. i know i dont. My body aches from carrying my messenger bag waaay too much. And that guy was kinda a jerk to me... but he doesnt know that I know he was a jerk to me... but seriously if you're going to make fun of someone, have the decency not to let them hear you.

sigh.

not everyone is gonna like you
just push back

why do these things just seem like the wrong approach?
Just cuz i can't get over it.. here's a song for guys like you. guys like you who make the romantic in me wanna cry.

Guys Like Me

Guys like me
we don't know how it feels
absentee even closing the deal
but every player there's a payoff in the final reel
but never with guys like me

cuz guys like me
we look good at the gate
you'll agree
with the odds on the slate
and put your money on the
bona fide heavyweight
and take it off guys like me
and take it off guys like me

they pull you close but never really
looking warm but feeling chilly
you'll describe us as empassioned
when it's just a front we fashion

cuz guys like me we all vow to become
clear and free of the fife and drum
block the circulation till we're all completely numb
let's hear it for guys like me
let's hear it for guys like me
let's hear it for guys like me
