Changing things up a bit

I drove into work in a different lane today. Strangely enough it was a little liberating. Changing the normal routine of always driving in the two right lanes out of the three…usually the farthest right. I’ve never driven in the far left lane on the way to work and it was like seeing the world from a bit of a different angle. I saw and paid attention to things I normally never do. I only ventured into the left lane because I decided I wanted to stop for breakfast and I wanted a wrap from Arby’s instead of the same old biscuit. I thought I would share this new sense of freedom with you all. Try it. Try changing sides. On the road, in bed, on the couch, in life. Anywhere you can. Just for a day. See the world from the other side of the road…..

The birthday book

The Secret Language of Birthdays is a book that gives all kinds of insight (if you choose to call it that…I do) into people born on each day of the year. It gives a full 2 pages to each day of the year with personality traits, tendencies, warnings and health concerns for people born on that day. It also includes the seasons, numbers, astrological signs, and tarot cards for your day, as well as famous people also born on that day. It’s a GREAT coffee table book and conversation piece. I’ve had it for years now and look up my friends whenever they come over to see how accurate the book is. It’s usually pretty dead on. Check it out or come visit and I’ll show you mine.

In honor of Halloween (and Sarah)

Thriller
by Michael Jackson

(watch the full video on YouTube.com here)

It’s Close To Midnight And Something Evil’s Lurking In The Dark
Under The Moonlight You See A Sight That Almost Stops Your Heart
You Try To Scream But Terror Takes The Sound Before You Make It
You Start To Freeze As Horror Looks You Right Between The Eyes,
You’re Paralyzed

[Chorus]
‘Cause This Is Thriller, Thriller Night
And No One’s Gonna Save You From The Beast About to Strike
You Know It’s Thriller, Thriller Night
You’re Fighting For Your Life Inside A Killer, Thriller
Tonight

You Hear The Door Slam And Realize There’s Nowhere Left To Run
You Feel The Cold Hand And Wonder If You’ll Ever See The Sun
You Close Your Eyes And Hope That This Is Just Imagination
But All The While You Hear The Creature Creepin’ Up Behind
You’re Out Of Time

‘Cause This Is Thriller, Thriller Night
There Ain’t No Second Chance Against The Thing With
Forty Eyes
You Know It’s Thriller, Thriller Night
You’re Fighting For Your Life Inside Of Killer, Thriller Tonight

Night Creatures Call
And The Dead Start To Walk In Their Masquerade
There’s No Escapin’ The Jaws Of The Alien This Time
(They’re Open Wide)
This Is The End Of Your Life

They’re Out To Get You, There’s Demons Closing In On Every Side
They Will Possess You Unless You Change The Number On Your Dial
Now Is The Time For You And I To Cuddle Close Together
All Thru The Night I’ll Save You From The Terror On The Screen,
I’ll Make You See

That This Is Thriller, Thriller Night
‘Cause I Can Thrill You More Than Any Ghost Would Dare To Try
Girl, This Is Thriller, Thriller Night
So Let Me Hold You Tight And Share A Killer, Diller, Chiller
Thriller Here Tonight

[Rap Performed By Vincent Price]
Darkness Falls Across The Land
The Midnite Hour Is Close At Hand
Creatures Crawl In Search Of Blood
To Terrorize Y’awl’s Neighbourhood
And Whosoever Shall Be Found
Without The Soul For Getting Down
Must Stand And Face The Hounds Of Hell
And Rot Inside A Corpse’s Shell
The Foulest Stench Is In The Air
The Funk Of Forty Thousand Years
And Grizzy Ghouls From Every Tomb
Are Closing In To Seal Your Doom
And Though You Fight To Stay Alive
Your Body Starts To Shiver
For No Mere Mortal Can Resist
The Evil Of The Thriller
