dancing with the keyboard

my doc suggested i get some of these and take them throughout the day to help ease anxiety and promote energy. i was skeptical but wow they are working. supposedly they work for some but not for others. i remember, when reading the "valley of the dolls" books by jacqueline susanne, they mentioned b-12 shots, but that was forever ago... and, for what it's worth, they taste good, kind of like cherry baby aspirin. :P

ever since i can remember...

someone would say something about someone
i would defend that someone
never knowing the whole story
just feeling sorry that someone was attacked
as i saw it.

pick a cause
be the black sheep
never take time
to know the whole story
just keep on seeing it
as i saw it.

two teams head to head
i would cheer the less favored
simply because they were the underdog
never knowing the whole story
just feeling sorry that the team was the underdog
as i saw it.

pick a cause
be the black sheep
never take time
to know the whole story
just keep on seeing it
as i saw it.

people holding signs on the street
i would defend their begging and situation to others
simply because they were seemingly rejected
never knowing the whole story
just feeling sorry that the person was homeless
as i saw it.

pick a cause
be the black sheep
never take time
to know the whole story
just keep on seeing it
as i saw it.

friending the friendless
defending the ill-dressed
taking up for the unsupported
championing the rights of those who appeared to have suffered injustice and misunderstanding at the hands of ...
well, anyone.
the blind public defender
that was me.

no more they say black - i say white
no more i am american - america must be right
no more they say yes - i say no
no more they say stop - i must say go

pick a cause
be the black sheep
never take time
to know the whole story
just keep on seeing it
as i saw it.

time to suspend judgement
reactive positioning
look at the facts
people are human
situations are real
get to know the whole story
hopefully seeing it a bit more
like it really is.

just watched this movie. thought it was done very well. was especially impressed with the balance portrayed by michael moore. i expected it to be mainly political propaganda, but it wasn't. showed needs of people, with no preference to political parties. you know, i heard the other day (on fox news) that some of his statistics or information was incorrect. i would like to know what they were referring to... because even if some things were a bit remiss or not quite as presented... i don't think it could/would erase the message so clearly and intelligently presented.

never thought i'd say this, but kudos michael moore.

another one i looked up the other day while doing a quiz. i really like this, actually.....

this is catchy and pretty fun..... heard it for the first time the other day

i am not getting hp's new marketing strategy. first with the overdone gwen stefani ads and pics. now with "the computer is personal again" written in (forgot the name) that nightmare before christmas font. if they are trying to key in to the new global creativity facilitated by sites such as youtube and the like, then, in my opinion, they should play that card and only that card. it's like "ok this isn't working" so let's try "this", which doesn't create a consistent image for the company or what they are trying to do. first, consumers are supposed to be creative like gwen. ??? what's so creative about an all too known singer whose image is sold for profit? if they are going with "the computer is personal again" then perhaps they would be better off to show real people doing real things - more like Jones Soda. just my little opinion. as a consumer. someone who has to look at these ads and someone who has spent over 15 years in the marketing and ad business.

hp - get a clue... it's not working. decide on something and stick with it.

that people, myself included, supposedly think outside of? i'd love to hear your opinions......

incredible book. up there with time travelers wife. wow. just finished reading it. if you haven't and you've thought about it, i' highly recommend it. if you haven't thought about it, maybe it's time to. that is, if you like deep, compelling, stories that touch every aspect of what we humans call life.
