Taylor Hicks' Twittering

Taylor Hicks is on Twitter. Really who isn't these days? Oh well probably thousands, but still, it IS The Thing these days and really quite fun. Mr. Hicks is twittering much more than he did initially. Currently he's up all the way now to 39 updates. Stellar! Well not really when chatty Cathy's like myself are heading for the 1500 mark within a two month span.

It's really sort of a vanity endeavor when you consider this whole phenomenon; by twittering messages, songs, whatever strikes your fancy you are assuming other people even remotely care what you think, what interests you. Likely that is one of the biggest draws for Twitter, embrace your inner ego and let it rip. Take that a step further and I think it reflects on a person's self image to even go there and do it. That said it is a nice little way to stay in touch with on-line friends outside of blog posts. By the way, anyone not initiated to this little on-line phenom, an update is in effect a post.

The majority of Mr. Hicks' twitters, tweets or twits; whichever you want to refer to them as have been text messages. An occasional few from the man's computer. He keeps them short and normally refers to his time spent in the "Grease" ice cream cone prop. He's even dubbed himself as Cone Ranger.

One of my favorite updates he's hung out on twitter, "How does anyone watch the Bachelor. My bad.People watch it because the success rate is so high." Seriously how does anyone watch that show? I'd rather stab myself with a pencil than watch that tripe. I know, considering my past history with my sub intelligent devotion to American Idol, there must be some sort of deviated irony in my slamming ANY show as being tripe. I mean qualifications for judgment not really something I can own, you know - considering...

Last night Mr. Hicks updated with, "Cheesehead night in Wisconsin.Go Back to that Cheeseball in the Sky." Which naturally screamed Norman Greenbaum's tune - a fitting one for a Sunday morning.

Something in My Liberty

The Verve "Lucky Man"


Lucky Man lyrics
"Happiness
More or less
It's just a change in me
Something in my liberty
Oh, my, my

Happiness
Coming and going
I watch you look at me
Watch my fever growing
I know just where I am

But how many corners do I have to turn?
How many times do I have to learn
All the love I have is in my mind?

Well, I'm a lucky man
With fire in my hands

Happiness
Something in my own place
I'm standing naked
Smiling, I feel no disgrace
With who I am

Happiness
Coming and going
I watch you look at me
Watch my fever growing
I know just who I am

But how many corners do I have to turn?
How many times do I have to learn
All the love I have is in my mind?

I hope you understand
I hope you understand

Gotta love that'll never die

It's just a change in me
Something in my liberty"

Really freaking nice little tune.

Vintage Bob Dylan, Sun Rising

"Isis" Bob Dylan
"She was there in the meadow where the creek used to rise.
Blinded by sleep and in need of a bed,
I came in from the East with the Sun in my eyes.
I cursed her one time then I rode on ahead.

She said, "Where ya been?" I said, "No place special."
She said, "You look different." I said, "Well, not quite."
She said, "You been gone." I said, "That's only natural."
She said, "You gonna stay?" I said, "Yeah, I jes might."

Isis, oh, Isis, you mystical child.
What drives me to you is what drives me insane.
I still can remember the way that you smiled
On the fifth day of May in the drizzlin' rain"


Vintage tune.

I'm feeling much better today, thanks and love to all my friends.

"Idiot Wind" Bob Dylan

Lyrics on the tube site. Very nice. Very fitting.

Angels, Faeries and Truth

I had a mad real discussion tonight with the man I live with. He's a guy I have known for many years, he's loved me, he's hated me, he's fought with me, but he continues to say I am the only woman he's ever known worth anything. I think that's validation.

"Nothing Ever Hurt Like You" James Morrison

Lyrics to Nothing Ever Hurt Like You
"Broken Strings"

Okay Who, put my man in such a turmoil, not to mention my heart? This gorgeously handsome man who likely will prove the insane death of Me. (He's Beautiful.)

Dreams lyrics
I'm hung up on dreams I'll never see...

cheers to Slowhandfender for the video

"Midnight Rider"


I'm on some sort of Allman Brothers trip or something. I'll work it out. Might be the vinyls I recently picked up. Certainly goes down well with a few Lone Star longnecks.
