ImPerceptibility

This choice was made under a tree last month.  I waited to be sure it was true.  It is and it is right. I’ll miss ImPerceptibility but mostly I’ll miss you.  Take care.

Goodbye Stranger

It was an early morning yesterday
I was up before the dawn
And I really have enjoyed my stay
But I must be moving on

Like a king without a castle
Like a queen without a throne
I’m an early morning lover
And I must be moving on

Now I believe in what you say
As the undisputed truth
But I have to have things my own way
To keep me in my youth

Like a ship without an anchor
Like a slave without a chain
Just the thought of those sweet ladies
Sends a shiver through my veins

And I will go on shining
Shining like brand new
I’ll never look behind me
My troubles will be few

(Goodbye stranger it’s been nice)
(Hope you find your paradise)
(Tried to see your point of view)
(Hope your dreams will all come true)
(Goodbye Mary, Goodbye Jane)
(Will we ever meet again)
(Feel no sorrow, feel no shame)
(Come tomorrow, feel no pain)

Sweet devotion,
It’s not for me
Just give me motion,
To set me free
Land in the ocean,
Far away
By my chosen
Every day

So Goodbye Mary,
Goodbye Jane
Will we ever
Meet again

Now some they do and some they don’t
And some you just can’t tell
And some they will and some they won’t
With some it’s just as well

You can laugh at my behavior
That’ll never bother me
Say the devil is my savior
But I don’t pay no heed

And I will go on shining
Shining like brand new
I’ll never look behind me
My troubles will be few

(Goodbye stranger it’s been nice)
(Hope you find your paradise)
(Tried to see your point of view)
(Hope your dreams will all come true)
(Goodbye Mary, Goodbye Jane)
(Will we ever meet again)
(Feel no sorrow, feel no shame)
(Come tomorrow, feel no pain)

Sweet devotion,
It’s not for me
Just give me motion,
To set me free
Land in the ocean,
Far away
By my chosen,
Every day

Now I’m leaving,
Got to go,
Hit the road
I’m sayin’ once again,
oh yes I’m leaving
Got to go,
Got to go.
I’m sorry another day
But Goodbye Mary,
Goodbye Jane
Will we ever
Meet again

Oh I’m leavin’
I’ve got to go

Here’s my 2009 Halloween postcard.  It’s made from drawings and text I found in a 1940 basal reader (Don’t worry, I photocopied them first, the book is safe)  It makes me laugh and I had to post it.  I’m still hiding in my bubble wrap, but I’m getting better.  I should be back soon.  Hope everyone is well.  Have a great Halloween. 

If you’re not on my postcard list and would like to be send me an e-mail with your mailing address.  I’ll be sure to send some silliness your way.

[Playing around with Photoshop today.  The kids are playing golf with MyHusband and my father-in-law and the house is quiet. Here's a couple of the images I found on flickr and decided to messed around with today. Anyone except Anthony know the musician? Hope everyone is doing well.]

It’s nights like these, that make me sleep all day
It’s nights like these, that make you feel so far away
It’s nights like these, when nothing is for sure
It’s nights like these, I don’t want you anymore

Yet I’ve only got this one wish
That I was good enough to make you forget
The only boy, who ever broke your heart
Cause nights like these tear me apart

It’s nights like these, the sad songs don’t help
It’s nights like these, your heart’s with someone else
It’s nights like these, I feel like giving up
It’s nights like these, I don’t seem to count for much

Yet I’ve only got this one wish
That I was good enough to make you forget
The only boy, who ever broke your heart
Cause nights like these tear me apart

The beer tastes like blood, my mouth is numb
I can’t make the words I need to say
She had a weakness for writers
And I I was never that good at the words anyways

Well I’ve only got this one wish
That I was as good enough to make you forget
The only boy who ever broke your heart
Cause nights like these tear me apart

Educational Anarchist Stickers and Mini-buttons

My Educational Anarchist order from Cafe Press came in the mail today. I was really excited about it. I’ve never had anything I’ve made put on a refrigerator magnet before. It felt good. Don’t you think the mini-button looks nice on my camera bag?

Midnight by Youngest

I put the magnets to good use. A picture of our dog Midnight drawn by my youngest Educational Anarchist.

To make a long story short, I don’t know what this is or what it’s about. I was just messing around with filters and brushes in PhotoShop and this is what happened. I could just delete it but I spent a really long time working on it.

[Update: Does spending a lot of time on something make it more worthwhile? Should you value something just because you've invested a good deal of time trying to make it right? How do you know when it's time to throw in the towel, let go, and move on to something new? It's a gamble. You can be content with working with what you have or scrap it and start new. Either way you lose something.]
