And most of the time, when you try to look at things with gratitude for what you do have, it turns the silly crappenings of a typical week RIGHT AROUND. Some weeks I post nothing else excpet TToT, and if I only blog for THIS reason, it'll be good enough for me.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15170306739961711124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2221717568608371907.post-37304367009619018652014-04-28T10:10:19.440-07:002014-04-28T10:10:19.440-07:00That is an amazing song, pretty much no matter wha...That is an amazing song, pretty much no matter what, but especially when someone with golden pipes (sounds so dirty) sings it. It's one of those timeless greats like "Beyond The Sea" and a bunch more that I can't think of at the moment. This hop never feels like work, that's one of the great things. No matter WHAT people write about it, the writers here do it in an amazing way.

Not that there's anything wrong with that, but we don't have any other common ground. I knew you & I had different musical taste after just ONE of your Mixed-tape posts! But that's okay, one of the songs I heard was really cool and I otherwise never would have heard it. We don't learn much from people that agree with us all the time, ya know? <br />I hope you wind up writing a blog post about the advertising hook. You probably have to wait until they do something with it, don't want anyone stealing your idea, but I kind of love marketing so I look forward to hearing more about it! And seeing you as part Tigger/part Dragon! <br />We got GOOD and dirty yesterday! Completely RUINED a pair of nice pants and everything! Good times :) I'm glad we did spend a lot of time outside yesterday, too, it's rainy and COLD again today. Only so much you can do inside here, but we'll find SOMETHING. Back to the library again!
