Pink Red Dress

She was standing there

By the juke-box machine

Looking like a model on

A cover of a Magazine

Why she wanna talk to me

I'm sitting here all alone

Maybe she'll take me home

Or down neon blocks I roam

Pink Red Dress

I'm such a mess

You're in distress

Through a hotel door

Let's undress – Off

W/ that pink-red dress

Pink Red Dress

If I don't see you again

I'll always remember –

What was under your head

As you lay me down to bed

Pink Red Dress

Behind a Waterfall There Is No “At the End of the Day”

Behind a Waterfall There Is No “At the End of the Day”

The two of them stood behind a waterfall and engaged in
Kissing and hugging each other’s shirtless upper halves –
The last time they joined each other’s bodies he was 14
She was 13. Now at the same university they were cozy
With finding and exploring each other again and again –
They were good for each other and were at the right time
The right place and expanded their understanding of things
Together while others were content within stagnant waters

She took some and he always took more and when the poison
Was too much for him and he was in uncharted territory, she
Offered him a safe harbor, calming the turbulent seas and then
Welcoming him and guiding him through a viably friendly port.
They used to love to watch the meteor showers in the heavens -
She kindled the wood and he lit and tended to the evening fires.
Behind the waterfall he realized it was a special spot for allot –
For running water is the purest and best to drink and he did drink

Behind the waterfall there is no end of the day – The water flows
And falls all day long and everyday and doesn’t know an ending.
As water flows, days bleed into the heavy, velvety moonlit nights
And it doesn’t even know how the night divides the day and never
Needs to know or care about such paltry things as keeping time -as
Running water is the purest form of natural waters and giver of life.
If the water doesn’t continue to flow, it’s then we who have the fall.
All & all it’s only ones consumed by time who notice an end of day

Dear Greg Gutfeld:

This morn I am headed to the Post Office and will be sending your book: Lessons from the Land of Pork Scratchings: A Miserable Yank Discovers the Secret of Happiness in Britain
I easily ordered on http://www.amazon.co.uk/

After I voraciously devour its every word it will sit in the library next to Wallace Fowlie's Poet as Rebel: Rimbaud and Jim Morrison (in which he wrote, "John: Our friendship started here.") and a few others of the 50 or so he had published and personalized for me --- Or, well, as you don't know Wallace Fowlie and he didn't know you, I guess I should have you next to Anna David's book: Party Girl (which she signed as, "Your #8") and E.D. Hill's book: Going Places (in which she wrote something that made my saintly wife a little pissed, "To one of America's best living poets - I dream about you as much as you dream about me.") and Brian Kilmeade's book: The Games Do Count (which he wrote, "I am honored you watch the show").

Oh, BTW --- uhmn, yeah, those curly corse black hairs are trimmings from my beard. There should be enough for you to share with Bill Schulz and Andy Levy and whatever guests use the word, "everyday."

John,

You're blog is very interesting..... based on your reviews of all the women in the media, I'd like to know - when (if ever) do you sleep? I particularly liked the comment, "If hilarious stand-up comedians with nice lips, hair and eyes were eggs, I'd dip my breakfast sausage in her everyday after sunrise."

Also, I think it's really cute that you have pictures of your dog on your MySpace. And there IS a picture of you and your wife... when you were vacationing in NY, I think.

Get some sleep.

Never miss a thing. Make Yahoo your homepage.

Anna Gilligan, I Am at a Loss for Words ... So I'm Gonna ...

Anna,

I'm at a loss for words so I'm just gonna say this === And by the time you're reading it I will be on a plane to NYC to take you out on a date I have planned-out below ---

Wow ... seeing you on Red Eye last night/early a.m. morning reminded me why I think you are absolutely gorgeous both inside and out and organically translate so well though transmission and via the broadcast around the world which ends-up on my TV along with all the other rows & rows of houses with their windows also painted blue with the light of TV in the wintry sky of February --- --- --- And, I'm reminded why I wrote all those complementary and true things about & for you in Everyday There's Something and, recently about how I'd rather hold your hand and walk through Central Park than that Victoria's Secret Model you were on Red Eye w/ last time ....

Last night/early a.m. you looked irrefutably, incredibly and absolutely gorgeous, beautiful and just down right seriously smoking hot = A+++(+++)

Oh, and by the way, for our date I have posted below, please wear the same outfit you had on Red Eye last night ............

BTW, one more thing, we're going shopping for your own washer and dryer too --- I don't want you doing your laundry with those weirdos looking at you while you're folding your panties.

Howard Finster was asked by both R.E.M. (of course also from Georgia) and The Talking Heads (David Byrne is just cool and their drummer attended Shadyside Academy here in Pittsburgh) to create album cover art for them = both album coveres received a Grammy.

(Thank you Tiffany "Babjak" White for hooking me up w/ these pieces when you owned and ran the Flying Cow on Hilton Head Island, S.C.)

There are a few cozy booths near the bar...

MIchelle Collins Rocks Red Eye (again) = Best Week Ever or Best Show Ever???

... Just when I thought I could not possibly enjoy Red Eye with the brilliant "sack pack" - front man, Greg Gutfeld, and mates Bill Schulz and Andy Levy any more than I already do --- Tonight's/this morn's show (it's on at 3 a.m. so I get so confused about which day it is) with Michelle Collins and Noelle Hancock and Ivana Milicevic, starring in Witless Protection Program (who talked about eating "brains" - her dad worked at the salughter-house), was one of the best Red Eye's I've seen === Which, for me, translates into proof of its everyday consistency...

In comparison to my post below about ShowBiz Tonight's Special on Hollywood Cheaters and what I said about Sienna Miller, Michelle Collins is the kind of woman you can wake-up with and not feel the need to run but just hang out and have some fun (and even attend one of her family's Bar Mitzvahs w/ her)...

If hilarious stand-up comedians with nice lips, hair and eyes were eggs, I'd dip my breakfast sausage in her everyday after sunrise ...

hauntingly captivating & quite intriguing in terms of raw, impulsive aesthetically pleasing everyday compositions = i just had to post it.

...this pic is so hauntingly captivating & quite intriguing in terms of raw, impulsive aesthetically pleasing everyday compositions = i just had to post it. But, yet again, like Jagger sings, "It's the Singer Not the Song," off of the gorgeous album "December's Children (And Everybody's)" = Is it the picture or the woman behind it that has me so intrigued and in wonderment like "when the stars go blue." ...

--- [I just had my last round of bloodwork done this morning (see the band aid, I’m petrified of needles, it was awful). I’m now having to wait on the results in Darien, CT. Instead of waiting in the office like a good sick girl (but I have to wait 2 hours) I found a designer resale store called Roundabout. Designer resale is my favorite!!! This Tracy Reese cream beaded dress for $210 has never been worn. In debate to buy because I would have to get it taken in. Although the beading is really intricate, def worth the $210.] MoeBags.com StylebyMaryRambin.com

Brooke Anderson – CNN ShowBiz Tonight
http://www.cnn.com/CNN/anchors_reporters/anderson.brooke.html

Brooke, regarding your ShowBiz Tonight Special on Hollywood cheaters, why wouldn't Jude Law cheat on Sienna Miller? She's a "bloody bloke" who's narcissism is nauseating. She is no Ashley Judd. Ashley Judd has substance, elegance, class, organic charisma and is a savvy actress, businesswoman, activist and human be-ing.

Sienna Miller is such a "stupid get" that she disses a city she is shooting a movie in which actually has the city in the title of the film - telling Rolling Stone Mag how this city is not London, L.A. or NYC when it is clearly obviously not that big of a Metropolitan city nor does it claim to be or try to be - But, the point is, how smart is that for her own PR and PR for the film? Yeah, I'm sure there are plenty of people from Pittsburgh (in Pittsburgh and those loyal transplants all over) who are going to rush out and see Mysteries of Pittsburgh starring Sienna Miller - especially after every local station covered "the drama" of her then crying and apologizing to the Mayor and saying what a good city it really is.

Would you want to wake-up and spend the day with a Sienna Miller or just hook-up and be on your way?

P.S. you looked hot as you do everyday = A+++

This is the reason you weren't on my 2008 listing = Although after the other night's appearance on Red Eye, I am very hopeful for you through-out the year of 2008 to make it happen on my new everyday media blog and my 2009 Top Hottest listing...
