Good Morning GoofyDad. Are you off today?

Good Morning GoofyDad. Are you off today?

Nope. Yesterday I was off. I watched "Not Another Teen Movie" ( love Marilyn Manson's cover of "Tainted Love" and forgot that song is featured in that movie), "Talladega Nights" (Shake, & Bake!), and "Memoirs of a Geisha" (to try to balance out the schlock vs. artsy-fartsy equation). Technically I didn't watch all of "Memoirs"... I fell asleep about halfway through, early in the afternoon. And I didn't do a damn thing about laundry all day.

Last night was Adam's Christmas concert. It was quite good, except there was a gas leak nearby that closed a bunch of the roads near the school. Because people had trouble getting there, it started late. It was an enjoyable evening. The band director announced honor band members last night, and Adam had a very nice surprise. So now he's 4th chair alto sax in the honors band. We didn't get back home until after 9:00.

I finished watching the rest of "Memoirs of a Geisha" last night. And I finally finished reading "Eragon" last night too. Adam's really wanting to see it, and I always like to read the book if possible before seeing the movie. We'll probably go see it early next week. My problem with the book was that it never really grabbed my attention. So I plodded through. And stayed up too late last night (sometime past midnight). So I'm tired this morning. 5:30 rolled around too friggin' early.

This weekend we're carting most of the presents down to KAMommy's parents house. Most of our Christmas get-togethers will be there. Plus, we'll have to handle the backup of laundry (that stuff I didn't do yesterday).

I agree with y'all about Christmas. However, I'm married to 'one of those'. We had our trees up before Thanskgiving (unlit though), and all of the decorations were out later that week / weekend. Me? I could take it or leave it. I really enjoy the stretch from, say Dec. 23-26, but the rest of the hubbub I could do without.

 

[GoofyDad869]

Time for some cheesy 70s music.


When I was young
I never needed anyone
And POSTIN' LOTS was just for fun
Those days are gone

DISin' alone
I think of all the friends I've known
But when I POST MY POSTS
Nobody's home (GREEN LIGHTS ARE OFF)

All by myself
Don't wanna be POSTIN'
All by myself anymore
All by myself
Don't wanna live
All by myself anymore

Hard to be sure
Sometimes I feel so insecure
And love so distant and obscure
Remains the cure

All by myself
Don't wanna be POSTIN'
All by myself anymore
All by myself
Don't wanna live
All by myself anymore

You feeling lonely GD? I'm here!

You will appreciate this. . . I just found out that the Rose Parade grand marshall will be none other than George Lucas! The geek in me is giddy! I can't believe I will be there in person.

Tomorrow I get to lead a bus of 52 strangers to the Crystal Cathedral (near Disneyland) to see the Glories of Christmas. It is an amazing Christmas pageant but I have seen it twice already. I'm terribly nervous that I'll lose a passenger too.

Very cool!

 

[GoofyDad869]

Oh please...

Don't make me sing again.

 

[GoofyDad869]

OK, here goes...

Clears throat...


Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide-
No escape from reality-

Open your eyes
Look up to the skies and see-
I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy-
Because I'm easy come, easy go,
A little high, a little low,
Anyway the wind blows, doesn't really matter to me,
To me...

Mama, just killed a man,
Put a gun against his head,
Pulled my trigger, now he's dead,
Mama, life had just begun,
But now I've gone and thrown it all away-
Mama ooo-ooooooo-ooooo,
Didn't mean to make you cry-
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow-
Carry on, carry on,
As if nothing really matters-

Too late, my time has come,
Sends shivers down my spine-
Body's aching all the time,
Goodbye everybody- I've got to go-
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth-
Mama ooo-ooooooo-ooooo- (any way the wind blows)
I don't want to die,
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all-

I see a little silhouetto of a man,
Scaramouche, scaramouche will you do the fandango-
Thunderbolt and lightning- very very frightening me-
Galileo, galileo,
Galileo galileo
Galileo figaro -magnifico-
But I'm just a poor boy and nobody loves me-
He's just a poor boy from a poor family-
Spare him his life from this monstrosity-
Easy come easy go-, will you let me go-
Bismillah! no-, we will not let you go -let him go-
Bismillah! we will not let you go -let him go
Bismillah! we will not let you go -let me go
Will not let you go -let me go
Will not let you go let me go
No, no, no, no, no, no, no-
Mama mia, mama mia, mama mia let me go-
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me, for me-

So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye-
So you think you can love me and leave me to die-
Oh baby -can't do this to me baby-
Just gotta get out -just gotta get right outta here-

Nothing really matters,
Anyone can see,
Nothing really matters-
nothing really matters to me,

Any way the wind blows....

Hello darkness, my old friend,
I've come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence.

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
'Neath the halo of a street lamp,
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of
A neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence.

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
People talking without speaking,
People hearing without listening,
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence.

"Fools" said I, "you do not know
Silence like a cancer grows."
"Hear my words that I might teach you,
Take my arms that I might reach you."
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
And echoed
In the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed
To the Neon God they made.
And the sign flashed out its warning,
In the words that it was forming.
And the signs said, the words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls.
And whisper'd in the sounds of silence.

 

[fabumouse]

You go, GD!

 

[GoofyDad869]

Now here you go again
You say you want your freedom
Well who am I to keep you down
It's only right that you should
Play the way you feel it
But listen carefully to the sound
Of your loneliness
Like a heartbeat.. drives you mad
In the stillness of remembering what you had
And what you lost...
And what you had...
And what you lost

Thunder only happens when it's raining
Players only love you when they're playing
Say... women... they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean... you'll know

Now here I go again, I see the crystal visions
I keep my visions to myself
It's only me
Who wants to wrap around your dreams and...
Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?
Dreams of loneliness...
Like a heartbeat... drives you mad...
In the stillness of remembering what you had...
And what you lost...
And what you had...
And what you lost

Thunder only happens when it's raining
Players only love you when they're playing
Say... women... they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean... you'll know

 

[GoofyDad869]

When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful,
A miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical.
And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily,
Joyfully, playfully watching me.
But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible,
Logical, responsible, practical.
And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable,
Clinical, intellectual, cynical.

There are times when all the world's asleep,
The questions run too deep
For such a simple man.
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
But please tell me who I am.

Now watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical,
Liberal, fanatical, criminal.
Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're
Acceptable, respecable, presentable, a vegetable!

At night, when all the world's asleep,
The questions run so deep
For such a simple man.
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
But please tell me who I am.

 

[GoofyDad869]

You go, GD!

Any requests, Fab?

 

[fabumouse]

A little Soft Cell, perhaps?

 

[GoofyDad869]

Knew a man Bojangles and he danced for you
In worn out shoes
Silver hair ragged shirt and baggy pants
The old soft shoe

He jumped so high
He jumped so high
And he'd lightly touched down

Mr Bojangles Mr Bojangles Mr Bojangles dance

Met him in a cell
New Orleans he was down and out
He looked to me to be the eyes of age as he
He spoke right out

He talked about life
He talked of life
He lightly slapped his leg instead

He said the name Bojangles and he danced a lick
Across the cell
He grabbed his pants and took a stance
And he jumped so high

He clicked his heels
And he let go a laugh
He let go a laugh
Shook his clothes all around

Mr Bojangles Mr Bojangles Mr Bojangles dance

We danced for those at minstrel shows and county fairs
Throughout the South
We spoke in tears of fifteen years
How his dog and him

They travelled about
The dog up and died
He up and died
After twenty years he still grieves

They said I dance now at every chance and honky tonks
For drinks and tips
But most the time I spend behind these county bars
Cause I drinks a bit

And he shook his head now
He shook his head
And I heard someone ask please

Mr Bojangles Mr Bojangles hey Mr Bojangles dance

 

[GoofyDad869]

A little Soft Cell, perhaps?

You got it.

In mic:
Here's one for you Lovers out there!

Aside: to band
Key of B, a lil up tempo

Sometimes I feel I've got to
Run away, I've got to
Get away from the pain you drive into
The heart of me
The love we share
Seems to go nowhere
And I've lost my life
For I toss and turn
I can't sleep at night

Once I ran to you
Now I run from you
This tainted love you've given
I gave you all a boy could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all

Tainted love
Tainted love

Sometimes I feel I've got to
Run away, I've got to
Get away, 'cause you don't really want
Any more from me
To make things right
You need someone
To hold you tight
And you think love is to pray
But I'm sorry, I don't pray that way

Once I ran to you
Now I run from you
This tainted love you've given
I gave you all a boy could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all

Tainted love
Tainted love
Don't touch me please
I cannot stand the way you tease
Babe I love you though you hurt me so
Now I'm gonna pack my things and go

Tainted love
Tainted love
Tainted love
Tainted love

Touch me baby
Tainted love
Touch me baby
Tainted love

Tainted love
Tainted love
Tainted love

Baby, baby, baby
Where did our love go
Oh, don't you leave me
Don't you leave me no more
Oh, tell me now,
Baby, baby, baby
Where did our love go
Don't you leave me
Don't you leave me no more


Such a sweet sweet love song.

 

[fabumouse]

Didn't Annie Lennox cover that (bojangles)?

Anyhow, DH is on the warpath - UPS dropped my christmas gift from dh (I think it's a biggie, since I'm only getting two of them) off the truck!!! They didn't tell us, and the company he ordered it from has no record of UPS damaging it - so they're going 'round and 'round and 'round. The company wants him to "wait a few days". Right - and then it will be too late for Christmas.

Oh, my man is in a *mood*.

 

[fabumouse]

Such a sweet sweet love song.

Makes me feel like a teenager again.

*sigh*

Gotta run.

Haven't showered yet.

Ewwwww.

 

[GoofyDad869]

Gotta run.

Ewwwww.

Later.

I'll just be singing my poor little heart out here.

Ahem.


Well, just - a look at that girl with the lights comin up in her eyes.
She's got to be somebody's baby.
She must be somebody's baby.
All the guys on the corner stand back and let her walk on by.
She's got to be somebody's baby.
She must be somebody's baby.
She's got to be somebody's baby.
She's so fine.
She's probably somebody's only light.
Gonna shine tonight.
Yeah, she's probably somebody's baby, all right.

I heard her talkin' with her friend when she thought nobody else was around.
She said she's got to be somebody's baby; she must be somebody's baby.
cause when the cars and the signs and the street lights light up the town,
She's got to be somebody's baby;
She must be somebody's baby;
She's got to be somebody's baby.
She's so....
She's gonna be somebody's only light.
Gonna shine tonight.
Yeah, she's gonna be somebody's baby tonight.

I try to shut eyes, but I can't get here outta my sight.
I know I'm gonna know her, but I gotta get over my fright.
Well, I'm just gonna walk up to her.
I'm gonna talk to her tonight.
Yeah, she's gonna be somebody's only light.
Gonna shine tonight.
Yeah, she's gonna be somebody's baby tonight.
Gonna shine tonight, make her mine tonight.

 

[GoofyDad869]

I'll be right back.

Set break for 30.

 

[GoofyDad869]

Where it began
I can't begin to knowin'
But then I know its growin' strong

Was in the spring
And spring became the summer
Who'd have believed you'd come along

Hands, touchin' hands
Reachin' out
Touchin' me
Touchin' you

Sweet Caroline (Bah bah bah)
Good times never seemed so good
I've been inclined
To believe they never would

But now I
Look at the night
And it don't seem so lonely
We fill it up with only two
And when I hurt
Hurtin' runs off my shoulders
How can I hurt when I'm with you

Warm, touchin' warm
Reachin' out
Touchin' me
Touchin' me

Sweet Caroline (bump bump bump)
Good times never seemed so good
I've been inclined
To believe they never would
Oh, no, no

Sweet Caroline (dah dah dah)
Good times never seemed so good
I've been inclined
I believed they never could
Sweet Caroline
