To My Dear Friends

(who probably don't know this blog exists or read it)

Say whatever you have to say, I'll stand by you.
Do whatever you have to do, to get it out and not become a reaction memory
To hurt the ones you love, you know you never meant to but you do
Oh yeah you do.

Be whoever you have to be, I won't judge you.
Sing whatever you have to sing to get it out and not be come a reclues about how to come out.
I know you never meant to but you do.
Oh but you do.

Still I need your sway, because you always pay for it.
And I, and I need your soul because you're always soulful.
And I, and I need your heart, because you're always in the right places.

And take whatever you have to take, you know I love you.
Come however you have to come, and get it out and get it out.

Take it out on me, take it out on me.
I'll give it you all, I give it you all.
I give you all, I give it you all, yes, I will give it you all.

'Cause I need your sway, because you always pay for it.
And I, and I need your soul because you're always soulful.
And I, and I need your heart, because you're always in the right places...

Lyrics of "Sway" by the Kooks from their album Konk.

"Correct" English

Even if you do learn to speak correct English, whom are you going to speak it to?
--Clarence Darrow

There's Gotta Be More!

There must be more to life than having everything.

Don't be Afraid

The follies which a man regrets most, in his life, are those which he didn't commit when he had the opportunity.
-- Helen Rowland
