Tracy Chapman - Give Me One Reason

|


Give me one reason to stay here - and Ill turn right back around
Give me one reason to stay here - and Ill turn right back around
Because I dont want leave you lonely
But you got to make me change my mind

Baby I got your number and I know that you got mine
But you know that I called you, I called too many times
You can call me baby, you can call me anytime
But you got to call me

Give me one reason to stay here - and Ill turn right back around
Give me one reason to stay here - and Ill turn right back around
Because I dont want leave you lonely
But you got to make me change my mind

I dont want no one to squeeze me - they might take away my life
I dont want no one to squeeze me - they might take away my life
I just want someone to hold me and rock me through the night

This youthful heart can love you and give you what you need
This youthful heart can love you and give you what you need
But Im too old to go chasing you around
Wasting my precious energy

Give me one reason to stay here - and Ill turn right back around
Give me one reason to stay here - and Ill turn right back around
Because I dont want leave you lonely
But you got to make me change my mind

Baby just give me one reason - give me just one reason why
Baby just give me one reason - give me just one reason why I should stay
Because I told you that I loved you
And there aint no more to say

wipe it off with a drag

A guy in a salon just had his hair dyed and the dark dye had left a ring of dark around his temples and neck.
He suggested a remedy to remove the dye from the skin without harming the newly dyed hair:
apparently, if you put a moist towel into cigarette ashes and then rub it into your skin, it removes the dye from the skin but not the hair.....
(before using this technique, the stylist tried all the products designed to do this task)
(They all failed)
I stepped outside, lit a cigarette and held onto the ashes in a small cup.
Once inside with the cup of ashes, the client used a wet towel to dab the ashes up and proceeded to rub them into his forehead, ear-lobes and neck.
--It worked!
where there was once black dye framing his face was just slightly reddened skin.....

as he left, he gave another word of hair-color wisdom:
if you ever get a bad color, use Prell.
guess this shampoo will strip the hair of color.
(didn't test this one....)

I watched this a few weeks ago and it entirely captured me......
It says so much and is a tribute to all who've contributed.....

challenge or test?



it's only 28 days.
february is a short month.

i'll get so much more done.
i'm bound to make better decisions.

maybe be on time for deadlines and appointments.
the month of february has beccome a personal challenge i've never completed or previously undertaken: An entire month of sobriety.....
sounds simple enough, but understand working in a bar, going to multiple art shows and having a love of wine makes such a thing quite challenging.

3days in and attending an art show:

i run into my favorite photographer (
whom i harbor a long standing crush).
i'm invited to join him and his 2 bosses (
who happen to own and operate a highly successful and admired graphic design firm).
they are heading back to one of the owners homes to partake in cellared wine and discuss art, the scene and what ever else....

i HAD to decline.

i saw no way possible to say no to wine in that setting.

i almost folded.

this is a business opportunity....

aw, the wine that may be pulled....

life and this business is all about networking....
(then the conscious)
there will be other invites....
geesh, i really hope so!

after meeting my 'at least 10 new people' quota, i leave the show and head home. i stop into albersons and pick up some cookies and decide my caloric intake will come from keebler tonight.....
as i'm walking out of the grocery store, my beautiful russian friend calls to say that she is with the owner of an animation studio and his hot brittish friend.
(they are going to some swanky bar and want to take us both out.....
Is this a test?

What is the passing grade?


.....instead of rubbing elbows and tasting celared vino or sipping overpriced martini's, i sit home with a mint cookie belly ache, buying music on iTunes and documenting that i have made it 3-whole-days......

oh, this should be an interresting month.....
