Eeeeehhhh

Eeeeeehhhhh.  Fyi, 2 margarita's on an empty stomach is not a great decision.  And, it is only day 2 of my blog, I am still in the beginning stage, I can't just wake up semi hung over and I try to write something worth reading...eeeeehhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
Hmmmmmmmm.  I was thinking last night about Barry Manilow.  Hold on, lemme explain!  I was thinking about why I wanted to write songs, or poems, when others might want to be a doctor, a lawyer, a teacher, etc...and then I remembered his song with Marty Panzer, 'I write the songs to make the whole world sing'.  And I guess it made me think, I wanna write songs that make the whole world THINK.  It's not like I wanna make the world as neurotic as I am, but sometimes I think that if we just took the time to think about our actions as opposed to blindly acting, we would learn a lot more about ourselves and others.  It's just a thought.  And then maybe, if we understand others better, we wouldn't get so pissed off all the time, and the world could be just a little more peaceful :)

             The Dark Side

I’m not one to look on the dark side, I’m not                

All I want to do is take care of the worldly rot

I’m not one to look on the dark side, I’m not

But if I turn my head to the left my mind gets in knots

The people, the workers, you and I alike

Are sitting closely and miserable in sight

We’re not listening on this disconnected side

And this sight, unnerving, it makes me want to hide

But I’m not one to look on the dark side, I’m not

But if I turn my head to the right, my mind gets all tight

The sad and the homeless, drunks with vermouth

Are sitting closely, and yelling its truth

Today it seems that dark runs the show

Just turn the news on, and violence owns the shows

But I’m not one to look on the dark side, I’m not        

But how can I help tune out this school of thought?

Let’s get together and turn the light on bright                 

Come forward with me; let’s ignite some sight        

Cuz we’re all gonna die, and we all seem to lie

Let’s help each other find some peace to rely

I’m just a woman, simple and struggling

But, I know what I want, and it’s not troubling…

What do YOU want, it’s important to know                  

So little things won’t deflect you from your own show        

Maybe the sides that are seemingly light only        

Hide the universal darkness of night

But what do I know, what do YOU know,   

What do we know, all that I know,

I'm not one to look on the dark side...not yet.
