A Rush of Blood to the Head

He said I'm going to buy this place and burn it down.
I'm going to put it six feet underground.
He said I'm going to buy this place and watch it fall.
Stand here beside me baby in the crumbling walls.

Oh I'm going to buy this place and start a fire.
Stand here until I fill all your heart's desires.
Because I'm going to buy this place and see it burn.
Do back the things it did to you in return.
Ah, ah. ah

He said Oh I'm going to buy a gun and start a war.
If you can tell me something worth fighting for.
Oh and I'm going to buy this place that's what I said.
Blame it upon a rush of blood to the head.

And all the movements you're starting to make.
See me crumble and fall on my face,
and I know the mistakes that I made.
See it all disappear without a trace,
and they call as they beckon you on.
They say start as you mean to go on.
Start as you mean to go on.

He said I'm going to buy this place and see it go.
Stand here beside my baby watch the orange glow.
Some will laugh and some just sit and cry,
but you just sit down there and you wonder why.

So I'm going to buy a gun and start a war.
If you can tell me something worth fighting for,
and I'm gonna buy this place that’s what I said,
blame it upon a rush of blood to the head, oh to the head.

Honey, all the movements you're starting to make.
see me crumble and fall on my face,
and I know the mistakes that I made.
See it all disappear without trace,
and they call as they beckon you on.
They said start as you mean to go on.
As you mean to go on, as you mean to go on

So meet me by the bridge, meet me by the lane.
When am I going to see that pretty face again.
Meet me on the road, meet me where I said
blame it all upon,
A rush of blood to the head

I love this song, not only from the album by the same name, but it is on the Six Feet Under soundtrack. It's the line I'm going to put it six feet underground that does it for them. Fitting song for that show, admittedly. At first I thought that this was a song I wouldn't like. But I appreciate it more. I felt that way about USI. This song perfectly mirrors my feelings of frustration and trepidation about going into my office, seeing what travails would await my day, what kind of bed news would I be forced to dispense to the staff. After a while, I really felt quite bitter about the management and all the wretched things they'd done in an effort to keep the company "alive" or "afloat" - which they weren't. But it was such misery to work there. So I do understand that.

So meet me by the bridge, meet me by the lane.
When am I going to see that pretty face again.
Meet me on the road, meet me where I said
blame it all upon,
A rush of blood to the head

Interesting Aftermath a From Season Five of "MasterChef"

Do I agree with this? You will have to read it first and decide for yourself. I had long since made up my mind before finding this article. MasterChef Season 5 Fixed: Courtney Lapresi Won Finale After Getting Preferential Treatment – Former Stripper Favoritism BY  STORMY ELIZABETH  ON SEPTEMBER 23, 2014 "They say if you can’t take the heat, you should get out of the kitchen, but what if you like it hot? If you’ve been watching  MasterChef this season 5 , you may have noticed that one contestant in particular seems to  be “winning” challenges  when her dishes don’t seem to be quite up to it.  Courtney Lapresi  has been billed as an “aerial dancer” on the show. So what exactly is that, you ask? It’s a fancy word for stripper. You may term what she does as burlesque, but nekked is nekked and she takes off her  clothes  when she dances, so you have to call them as you see them. Plus is it really...

The Longairc-Green Family

This is a family that was on Nanny 911 , the precursor to Supernanny , which airs on Wednesday nights. While Supernanny is a better production and leaves out some of the dopey American-isms of stupidity (such as the opening scene with a much older nanny head whose television showing the family and their issues turns around into a painting on the wall), this show has its value. These families are clueless or don't bother to try and definitely need help. This family is an exception in that the mother couldn't care less what the monsters do and will do anything to mollify them. The father is more consistent and definitely takes a much more disciplinary stance, but the mother undermines it at every step of the way. The two boys are so unbelievably rude, I'd've killed them where they stood. The little girl only wanted a moment of attention and was not doing anything negative, and the mother was awful to her. The nanny, Nanny Stella, spent the first day observing. When she s...

Shocking!

I always open my day at work by starting up my various programs that I'll bounce back and forth between throughout the insanity that is my normal workday. And they are always in the same order: Internet Outlook Microsoft Excel Microsoft Word The timekeeping program, GenPro, is always running. This is not me being unbelievably anal or just a little OCD, this is logic. I know excatly where everything is. It's just good organisational skills. When I open Outlook it is almost entirely for the e-mail. Yes, I do know how to use all of Outlook (well, 80% of it, any way, but since I use my belovèd Franklin Covey Time Management system (the physical book, not the electronic solution), I only use Outlook for e-mail. What is so shocking, you may ask? Be patient, I'm getting to that. I open the Internet and the default page is Wikipedia, in English. I happen to love that site and skim over whatever interesting things it may have, such as: Today's Featured Article The word thou was...
