Smell the catfood in your bank account


They want what they’re not
And I wish they would stop saying
Deputy dog dog a ding dang depadepa
Deputy dog dog a ding dang depadepa
D – Don’t Let’s Start, They Might Be Giants

 

Don't don't don't let's start
This is the worst part
Could believe for all the world
That you're my precious little girl
But don't don't don't let's start
I've got a weak heart
And I don't get around how you get around

When you are alone you are the cat, you are the phone
You are an animal
The words I'm singing now
Mean nothing more than meow to an animal
Wake up and smell the cat food in your bank account
But don't try to stop the tail that wags the hound

D, world destruction
Over and overture
N, do I need apostrophe
T, need this torture?

Don't don't don't let's start
This is the worst part
Could believe for all the world
That you're my precious little girl
But don't don't don't let's start
I've got a weak heart
And I don't get around how you get around

No one in the world ever gets what they want and that is beautiful
Everybody dies frustrated inside and that is beautiful
They want what they're not and I wish they would stop saying,
Deputy dog dog a ding dang depadepa
Deputy dog dog a ding dang depadepa

D, world destruction
Over and overture
N, do I need apostrophe
T, need this torture?

Don't don't don't let's start
This is the worst part
Could believe for all the world
That you're my precious little girl
But don't don't don't let's start
I've got a weak heart
And I don't get around how you get around

I don't want to live in this world anymore
I don't want to live in this world

Don't don't don't let's start
This is the worst part
Could believe for all the world
That you're my precious little girl
But don't don't don't let's start
I've got a weak heart
And I don't get around how you get around

Thinking Shminking

There are two ways to slide easily through life: to believe everything or to doubt everything; both ways save us from thinking. – Theodore Rubin

What did you say?


I know that you think that you understand what you think I said, but I’m not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant. – Robert McCloskey

Forgiveness: It's what for life


To be able to move on, one has to learn to forgive not only the person (or people) who have done one wrong but also oneself  - Eugenia Tripputi

Science and Technology!

The sun is a mass of incandescent gas
A gigantic nuclear furnace
Where Hydrogen is built into Helium
At a temperature of millions of degrees
