November 22, 2011

I’m really tired tonight. I had to come in to work early today and the rest of the next two weeks due to co-workers being on vacation (get ready for a couple of weeks of whine) and I didn’t get much sleep. On top of that I had to work later than usual, so for my six photos on Sixpack Monday, I’m just going to take six random photos on the way home and match them up to videos when I get there. I hope I can stay awake for the walk.

We gotta get outta this place,
If it’s the last thing we ever do.

Stoned love,
I tell you, I ain't got no other,
Stoned love.

Well, any other man stops and talks,
But the walking man walks.

People running 'round it's five o'clock,
Everywhere in town it's getting dark,
Everyone you see is full of life,
It's time for tea and meet the wife.

I can hear music,
I can hear music,
The sound of the city, baby, seems to disappear.

Rollin', rollin', rollin',
Though the streams are swollen,
Keep them dogies rollin',
Rawhide!

Just walk away Renee,
You won't see me follow you back home.

Carl Wilson was the best singer in the band. Mike Love was ok,,,in his prime, now he just basically shows up for a check. Favorite James Taylor song is "Summers Here". Song "Stoned Love" was best Supremes after Diana left.

@Jason: I think it's supposed to clean out the earwax, but no one's getting near my ears with a candle! They're damaged enough!

@Professor Dungpie: I hear you! I'm planning on sleeping in Thanksgiving and then drinking about 8,987 beers. Cheers to you, Professor!

@Al: I agree about Carl, Mike Love was and is a total asshole. I didn't realize until last night that Stoned Love was done without Diana Ross, proves that she wasn't the only talent in the group!

I love this time of year. Especially the part where everyone lights their ear candles and gather to sing the traditional ear candling songs. (I'm waxing poetic.)

@MAD: E-vol, attempting to wane enthusiasm for waxing.

Kids these days, with their ear candling and those little fish that eat the dead skin off their feet. Why doesn't anyone go barefoot anymore? And why is it that the only Q-Tip you can find is on some god awful rap radio station...oh, excuse me, internet playlist? Anyhoo, Rickie Lee Jones and Walk Away Renee are two of my favorites, so thanks for posting! And good luck with work.

@csp: I got your Wayne whore right here!

@Biff: I had no idea about the little fishes, I need to go Google that. Glad you like the Rickie Lee Jones tune, a great cover of that song!

@tehennessey: Happy early turkey jerky day to you and the rest of the clan! I hear you on the beer, my thanksgiving day feast is going to be mainly liquid!

hey MAD you're not bound any rules or regulations...you're "a free bird" ,a strange bird, and don't have to tell you, you can do what you want any ol' time...i, for one, enjoy your mixtos and also all the comments that they generate....i can take the whine as long as you supply the properly refrigerated cheese warmed to room temperature...

Anyone who isn't confused really doesn't understand the situation.
