Oh, you fool, you've got me started.

In true spirit of transitions, I intend to make this continental shift as seamless as possible by cross-posting my last one on Tumblr.

On April 3rd, I reaped two whole dozen years in my basket.

For the most part, I didn't make a big deal out of it - unlike I usually do every year - because drastic changes were in the air anyway. Like the freak, hyper-extended "winter" that invaded my usually sweaty April, I had been in a rut for too long. There is an ecstatic electricity in the air! I can feel it on my skin! Coincidentally, I truly only felt the Indian summer on my birthday, and with the season is coming good things.

There are floods of internal change and for the first time in a long time, I am allowing physical change to reflect it. Change in space, profession, wardrobe, and appearance - I took 6 inches off Delilah - are all symptoms of a drastic shift in internal climate and tides. Not to make light out of a serious calamity, but these days, I am an earthquake.

So here, have a welcome video to dust your weary sneakers on!

 

The Lightning Seeds, "Change"

The world is full of fools

who never get it right
You don't know what to do

so you do anything you like.

(Put your foot down and drive) Oh, your a silly thing

(Put your foot down and drive) You're such a pretty thing

(Put your foot down and drive) 

You're never gonna be like all those fools,

We're going out tonight.

There's nothing to lose,

you're gonna give it all a try.

Don't ever change.

Don't ever change.

No, never change,

never change.

You better say you're prayers,

or whisper to the wise,

And thank your lucky stars

for coming out tonight.

(Put your foot down and drive) Oh, you're a silly thing,

(Put your foot down and drive) Don't you ever change,

Don't ever change (ever change)

No never change, never change.

When people's eyes, all open wide,

they're still too blind to see.

A change in style, for a while,

is only make-believe.

(Put your foot down and drive) Oh, you're a silly thing

(Put your foot down and drive) You're such a pretty thing

(Put your foot down and drive)

You're never satisfied,

so look for something new

There's nothing to find,

and nothing you can do.

Don't ever change, don't ever change

No never change, never change.

Oh, you fool, you've got me started
