ARS - Do IT Or Die

Atlanta Rhythm Section

Don't let your troubles make you cry
Don't waste a moment wonderin' why
When everything goes wrong
You have to go on and do it or die

Do it or die now stand your ground
Don't let your bad breaks go gettin' you down
Even when times get rough and you've had enough
You still gotta try

Do it no matter what the people say
They don't even know you
Die before you let them stand in your way
Don't you know that

You should know that life is a gamble all along
Winners are losers who keep rollin' on
So go on and roll the dice you only live twice
Do it or die

Do it no matter what the people say
They don't even know you
Die before you let them stand in your way
Don't you know that

I know that life is a gamble all along
Winners are losers who keep rollin' on
So go on and roll the dice you only live twice
So do it or die

You got nothin' to lose just go on
Roll the dice you only live twice
Do it or die

I feel a major growl coming on very very soon. Going to bare my teeth and have the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. Anybody with me ??

One thing explained ? Revisited

I have just had a couple of interesting days. Oh? you ask (lol). It had to do with a post by one contact, where I had to lie ... yes, I said lie ... on how I met her. The instructions were to post it once I answered the request. And as with any writing challenge, whether it be a story or a poem, I have to feel it to do it, so it did take me a few hours to honor the request. Then I posted my own, got a couple good stories, one was re-posted on their site (to which I haven't repLIED yet lol) and another got her start from others. Taking what Sue put on my post, I touched upon her repLIE and ran with it .. same direction but different.

Which got the person that I got the post from, and I talking about the writers challenge group I once belonged to, and enjoyed while life was getting in the way. Digging out those stories for her, I was going through some of my older blogs before her and I became friends. And I came across a particular one.

I don't know if you visit my site itself, or read anything I post via the panorama feature of the inbox, but if you visit my site on a tab, have you ever noticed what the tab itself says?

Go on. I'll give you a minute in case you don't (haha)

When I first got to Multiply, my site title was not going to be Patti. Nope. Nothing to do whether I like the name or not. My site title was going to represent the journey I had been undertaking since I was about 43. I would say 'last year' but some of you have known me much too long here to get away with that one hahaha

Until a day or two ago, all it said was Lace. And yes, if you look at my site itself, you won't see it. 0px in the CSS code works wonders for that trick. You can only see it when viewing it as a tab. At present, it says Lace's Journey. 

While I was over at Yahoo! 360, I had done up a blog about how "Lace" came about. When I landed here on the shore of MPLand, I transferred over the blog. Then one day, I tried to edit it .. make it more readable or something .. and totally wiped it out except for the picture. So I had to re-do it in a new blog. 

I was reading it tonight, checked the viewing history, and realized that I didn't know most of you when I redid the blog. 

Well? Just in case you had ever noticed the tab said Lace instead of Patti and wondered why, this will tell you.

Just remember, it was a few years ago that I made the original blog, and it was a few years later that I redid it, after screwing up the imported blog. hmmmm I just took a peek through the media locker, and the date of my first few blogs that I transferred over from Y! 360 the hard way (the import tool wasn't into being yet) was Nov. 14 '07. I'm here not quite four years yet ? wow That post doesn't say when I posted it originally though. No matter. I know how old I am hahaha 

PAY VERY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THESE INSTRUCTIONS: I would like you to comment about how you met me. But I want you to LIE. That's right, just make it up. After you comment, copy this to your own page, so I can do the same. I dare you lol

Sunset Thinking

Sunset Thinking

Do you ever watch the sunset

And just sit and think about things

Just you and the sky and darkness

Giving your thoughts some wings

Perhaps you've got some troubles

And don't know what to do

Or you just plain need to get away

To spend a little time with you

Sunset beauty makes you feel as though

Your life has meaning after all

To see a sight so extraordinary

Makes you feel capable, srong and tall

It’s funny how flashes of color

Like a sunset or sunrise can inspire

It can calm your inner self a bit

It’s a scene you can never tire 

The serenity gives you a chance

To put things in perspective

Life can be overwhelming at times

And a sunrise can be reflective

So when the sky lights up next time

Let your gaze do some drinking

Soak up and the amazing sights

And do some sunset thinking!
