I was Inspired by Bijous posting of Doktor Zooms tweet yesterday:
So because Im feeling lazy this Labor Day, and because its been nearly 4 years to the day that I originally posted Once in a Lifetime I decided to repost this classic from my vault. Be sure to turn the music player on, its way more fun that way:
Once in a Lifetime
Originally posted August 30, 2010. I think youll remember the occasion:
This is so-ooo embarrassing. Here I am, thinking that the strange dress that looks like its already been caught in the rain was my biggest problem. So naturally thats what I focused my circuitry on, the dress; I failed to consider the whole frame. Nor did I feel I had to as the one thing Big Guy is really good at, as a rule, are the visuals, so I totally was not ready for this:
I was told there would be no geometry
Vanderleun even gave it a musical reference, in case you missed the point:
You may ask yourself
How do I work this?
You may ask yourself
Where is that large automobile?
You may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful house!
You may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful wife!
Talking Heads, Once in a Lifetime 1984
Inspired by Vanderleuns insight, I took the opportunity to illustrate the long version, with music - in case you still dont get it:
And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack
And you may find yourself in another part of the world
And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile
And you may find yourself in a beautiful house,
with a beautiful wife
And you may ask yourself-Well...How did I get here?
Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground.
And you may ask yourself
How do I work this?
And you may ask yourself
Where is that large automobile?
And you may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful house!
And you may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful wife!
And you may ask yourself
What is that beautiful house?
And you may ask yourself
Where does that highway go to?
And you may ask yourself
Am I right?...Am I wrong?
And you may tell yourself
MY GOD!...WHAT HAVE I DONE?

Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground.
Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...
Like I said: with Big Guy, its all about visuals.
Wow! 4 years later and everything - the economy, the national debt, the confusing strategies - is still same as it ever was, only worse. Especially the Jimmy Carter part: apparently both he and Big Guy still believe that Israel is the only thing standing in the way of peace on earth good will towards men.
Jimmy Carter, more delusional than ever, at the annual convention for the Islamic Society of North America on Saturday.
*sigh*
Same as it ever was...

Most too busy for church and Bible Study.....kids checking their smartphones and facebook to see who they are and how popular they are....many poor on drugs and alcohol where they beat their kids and spouse, steal at the local stores, see evil rewarded and good mocked....no morals, no ethics, no insurance....and then demand they live well on the backs of those who love God and His country and His world....all equals one big mess!
