My Dragon Fly and Me

If I could be a Dragon Fly
and wing my way through the sky
I would never be shy
just me and my Dragon Fly!

By moonlight we ride the wind
chase the comets tail for fun
by day we would hide from the sun
our fragile wings would come undone

On darkest nights we would use
fireflies as our guide
we would dip and we would glide
through the heavens open wide
and scatter diamonds in the night sky
my Dragon Fly and me...

And we would wing past our lovers
silent in the night...
to kiss their face in our flight
much to their surprise and delight
my Dragon Fly and me in sight...

Such a view do we share
away up here in the air
of breezes soft through our hair
my Dragon Fly and me a pair...

It’s odd these days to have a 5:30 appointment.

It’s a chilly yet lovely day. Clouds are rolling in it’s plain to see and it is expected to be cooler tomorrow.

[WayzataJOHNN]

its 36 here, and a slight breeze, but awesome. A walk is bracing, but enjoyable. (And the hot tea afterwards is sooooooo good!)

[potlatch]

Lol, that’s cute!

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A day after New York City came up with a $1,000 bagel, a local restaurateur unveiled a $25,000 chocolate sundae on Wednesday, setting a Guinness world record for the most expensive dessert. Stephen Bruce, owner of Serendipity 3, partnered with luxury jeweler Euphoria New York to create the "Frrozen Haute Chocolate," a blend of 28 cocoas, including 14 of the most expensive and exotic from around the globe. The dessert, spelled with two Rs, is infused with 5 grams (0.2 ounces) of edible 23-karat gold and served in a goblet lined with edible gold. At the base of the goblet is an 18-karat gold bracelet with 1 carat of white diamonds. The sundae is topped with whipped cream covered with more gold and a side of La Madeline au Truffle from Knipschildt Chocolatier, which sells for $2,600 a pound. It is eaten with a gold spoon decorated with white and chocolate-colored diamonds, which can also be taken home. "It took us a long time to experiment with all the ingredients and flavors, and more than three months were needed just to design the golden spoon," Bruce told Reuters. Four years ago, Bruce unveiled a $1,000 ice cream sundae called Golden Opulence, a staple on his menu and a favorite with rock stars, socialites and other celebrities. Both desserts are sold only with advance orders. Bruce said he has received inquiries about his latest creation, mostly from Europeans planning to visit New York. "I wouldn't be surprised if soon we get a call from a Middle Eastern prince or Shah willing to give something sweet to his many wives on his next trip to the city," Bruce said. On Tuesday, New York chef Frank Tujague of The Westin New York hotel at Times Square unveiled the $1,000 bagel, topped with white truffle cream cheese and goji berry infused Riesling jelly with golden leaves. Sales will help raise funds for culinary school scholarships.

[NY Attitude]

What mischief are you up to?

Just out and about here at work and creating hate and discontent wherever I go. Damn, I just love it.

[NY Attitude]

Eat all you can while they last.

Is there anybody out there?

Hello... hello... hello
Is there anybody in there
Just nod if you can hear me
Is there anyone at home
Come on... come on now
I hear you're feeling down
Well I can ease the pain
And get you on your feet again
Relax... relax... relax
I'll need some information first
Just the basic facts
Now can you show me where it hurts

There is no pain, you are receding
A distant ship smoke on the horizon
You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying
When I was a child I had a fever
My hands felt just like two balloons
Now I've got that feeling once again
I can't explain, you would not understand
This is not how I am
I have become comfortably numb

I have become comfortably numb

Okay... okay... okay
Just a little pinprick
There'll be no more aaaaaaaah!
But you may feel a little sick
Now can you stand up... stand up... stand up?
I do believe it's working, good
That'll keep you going through the show
Come on it's time to go

There is no pain, you are receding
A distant ship smoke on the horizon
You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying
When I was a child
I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown
The dream is gone
And I have become
Comfortably numb


Comfortably Numb (Waters, Gilmour), Pink Floyd

[Soaring Feather]

WOW song lyrics really get to the nub of things don’t they?

Thanks Lady.

[Lady Jag]

[Lady Jag]

That is from Pink Floyd's, The Wall, album and movie, avante garde for its time and still highly popular today.

[Soaring Feather]

I never got into Pink Floyd so I am really ignorant of his work.

[NY Attitude]

Great stuff. Love the album.

[Lady Jag]

If you ever want to read an analysis of it, http://www.thewallanalysis.com/Intro.html

It's better to hear the music or watch the moving first, although whatever you do first could be confusing. It's just the way it is in its provocativeness.

[Lady Jag]

Check out my post just above, 354 I think. It’s the link for some fascinating info re the album.

Have you seen the movie?

[NY Attitude]

No, I have not seen the movie. However I would like to.

[Lady Jag]

It’s almost never on TV or cable. The album is still making big bucks and the movie might be, too.

Oddly enough, some network like PBS ran it last New Year’s Eve.

I’d like to see again, not having watched it for ages. Frankly, the movie was quite a shock, especially since I couldn’t understand a lot of the lyrics on the album.

[NY Attitude]

If I remember correctly the album eluded to groupies and drug use as well as unwanted parental oversight. Of course they let their prejudice show too.

[Lady Jag]

It’s an autobiography of one of the Pinks.

LOL..Good luck with MRI and PT!
