April Fools

Food for thought, how do you "pick" your people?


No jokes here!

A good friend of mine posted this lovely poem-I thought I would share with ya'll:

"I opened a book and in I strode.Now nobody can find me.I've left my chair, my house, my road,My town and my world behind me.I'm wearing the cloak, I've slipped on the ring,I've swallowed the magic potion.I've fought with a dragon, dined with a king,And swam in the bottomless ocean.I opened a book and made some friends.I shared their tears and laughterAnd followed their road with its bumps and bendsTo happily ever after.I finished my book and I out I came.The cloak can no longer hide me.My chair and my house are just the same,But I have a book inside me." - Julia Donaldson
So dear friends-What's new on your side of the world? Here, not much. I think I'm getting caffeine headaches-which is pretty lame, and I speed-walked to the library in my beanie and jammed out to the Tarzan (Disney) soundtrack. It was fabulous. My poor book, it's been tossed aside like some old notebook filled with notes to someone you will never speak to again, harsh but true. I don't know if it'll ever be completed or not.  (okay, that's a wee bit far, It'll be finished-soon...maybe) There's still a butt load of editing to be done on Figment before it gets anywhere, but anywhere is somewhere, no? So-here's your daily inspiration:
And some song lyrics: It's going down, I'm yelling timber You better move, you better dance Let's make a night you won't remember I'll be the one you won't forget
Oooo... (Timber) Oooo... (Timber) Oooo... (It's going down) Oooo... (Timber) Oooo... (Timber) Oooo... (It's going down)
[Pitbull] Swing your partner round and round End of the night, it's going down One more shot, another round End of the night, it's going down Swing your partner round and round End of the night, it's going down One more shot, another round End of the night, it's going down
[Ke$ha] It's going down, I'm yelling timber You better move, you better dance Let's make a night, you won't remember I'll be the one, you won't forget It's going down (It's going down), I'm yelling timber You better move (You better move), you better dance (you better dance) Let's make a night, you won't remember I'll be the one, you won't forget (you won't forget!)
Oooo... (Timber) Oooo... (Timber) Oooo... (It's going down) Oooo... (Timber) Oooo... (Timber) Oooo... (It's going down)
[Pitbull] Look up in the sky, it's a bird, it's a plane Nah, it's just me, ain't a damn thing changed Live in hotels, swing on planes Blessed to say, money ain't a thing Club jumping like Lebron, now voli Order me another round, homie We about to clown, why? 'cause it's about to go down
[Pitbull] Swing your partner round and round End of the night, it's going down One more shot, another round End of the night, it's going down Swing your partner round and round End of the night, it's going down One more shot, another round End of the night, it's going down
[Ke$ha] It's going down, I'm yelling timber You better move, you better dance Let's make a night, you won't remember I'll be the one, you won't forget It's going down (It's going down), I'm yelling timber You better move, you better dance (you better dance) Let's make a night (Let's make a night), you won't remember I'll be the one (I'll be the one), you won't forget (you won't forget!)
So, off we go-back into the world, back into the dark. Never forget where you are Who loves you And who you are Remember and keep hoping For the day Is getting closer all the time GodBless, LizB
