  • BEN HARPER “Forever”

    Not talkin’ ’bout a year
    No not three or four
    I don’t want that kind of forever
    In my life anymore
    Forever always seems
    to be around when it begins
    but forever never seems
    to be around when it ends
    So give me your forever
    Please your forever
    Not a day less will do From you

    People spend so much time
    Every single day
    Runnin’ ’round all over town
    Givin’ their forever away
    But no not me
    I won’t let my forever roam
    and now I hope I can find
    my forever a home
    So give me your forever
    Please your forever
    Not a day less will do
    From you

    Like a handless clock with numbers
    An infinite of time
    No not the forever found
    Only in the mind
    Forever always seems
    to be around when things begin
    but forever never seems
    to be around when things end
    So give me your forever
    Please your forever
    Not a day less will do
    From you

  • Evokes in my mind, of all things (don’t laugh), a Red Hot Chili Peppers line that goes “All I ever wanted was your life.”

  • now here’s a funky fact that I know is real…the chili peppers have BABY APPEAL!

  • At 32, I’ll take that as a compliment

  • ah…lay on, lay on, lay on, lay on.

  • out on the street I got the tunes in my box
    I play the chili peppers so the public can rock
    OUTA MY WAY, BOY, I’m afraid not,
    I’ve got no time to tick and tock
    but his baby rocked out on the spot
    she was a kickin’ and a shakin’ that itty bitty tot
    her pop said NO but she just couldn’t stop
    the girl had a case of toddler rock
    now here’s a funky fact that I know is real
    the chili peppers have BABY APPEAL!

  • Aww, see, ya caught me on pre-hype Peppers.  Shame on me. 

  • I has seen the sox live, and they is fine.

  • (I may be a poseur, but I’m a poseur who’s been around a while!)

  • man, every fucking lyric you’ve ever posted I can sing too.

  • it’s a good thing no one is around to hear.

  • who is ben harper?

  • as i sit here bopping to led zepplin, my elation is fueled further by knowing such an AWESOME BROAD {yes, m’dear, that’s YOU i’m speaking of…!}!  i know i’ve been hibernating lately so i’ve taken some time this morning to catch-up on your previous entries.  have you noticed ~what am i thinking???  of COURSE you have!~ the threads of these last entries have all been tied to this one’s theme?  {“coincidentally,” ~umm, no such thang…!~ the song, “the battle of evermore” just began playing…}  y’know, i have SOOOooo much that i could tell you about myself right now relating to what you’ve mentioned in the past few blogs…  oohhh, whatthehell, eh?!?  i, too, have spent most of my childhood, adolescence, and early adulthood attempting to hide myself ~so fervently that even my fiction became incomprehensively abstract.  i had eventually begun having nightmares of “someone” stalking me… in time, i had come to realize that person was me.  as fiona apple said on “tidal”, “i’m a stranger to myself…”  i WAS able to work through this in my novel, “the rapist.”  of course, at the time, i had NO idea “the code” i had written involved that premise. 

    the concept of ”FOREVER” used to terrify me when i was very young.  after all, when we passed on to eternal life, whatthefuck would we DO with all that time???  now i have to chuckle; i can’t imagine ONE lifetime being ENOUGH time to accomplish all the ideas and plans swirling in my head, y’know? 

    k~ ’nuff about me…  just wanted you to know i’m with ya, even if “in spirit…” {just not LITERALLY ”in spirit” YET!}       

  • “p.s.” sorry i consumed sooo much space!!!

  • GOOD CHRIST!!!  WHYTHEFUCK DID I SAY, “when we passED on to eternal life…”???!!???  SHIIIIIT!!!!

  • You DO look like Queen La, only with twice as much charisma, and you know that’s saying a lot.  Last month I found a song I had to put on a mix cd for you, but I have yet to determine what the rest of it should be…it’ll be a nice suprise that you probably won’t discover until like February, and by then you’ll have forgotten I told you in advance.

  • Imagine a vacation to Salvador’s head for a week? Too long? Yeah, that could be. How ’bout an hour? Knowing you were going to be back in your own head after that hour. That might work.

  • I like Ben Harper, and I LOVE that Dali pic!

  • Dali is my favorite painter.  He paints what I see whenever I close my eyes.
