The song is by Percy Sledge. Beat the Mamas and the Papas to the top of the charts in 1966 and topped the charts in UK too. Said to be one of the greatest songs ever written. Later, Michael Bolton did a cover that made it to the top and got him a Grammy to boot. Awesome song, but brings awful feelings Lmao! FYI, brat, I have never stopped smiling. I just like the song but am not as miserable as the bloke who sang the lines.

Beating people up seems to run in the family huh?

When a man loves a woman
Can't keep his mind on nothin' else
He'd trade the world
For a good thing he's found
If she is bad, he can't see it
She can do no wrong
Turn his back on his best friend
If he puts her down

When a man loves a woman
Spend his very last dime
Trying to hold on to what he needs
He'd give up all his comforts
And sleep out in the rain
If she said that's the way
It ought to be

When a man loves a woman
I give you everything I've got (yeah)
Trying to hold on
To your precious love
Baby please don't treat me bad

When a man loves a woman
Deep down in his soul
She can bring him such misery
If she is playing him for a fool
He's the last one to know
Loving eyes can never see

Yes when a man loves a woman
I now exactly how he feels
'Cause baby, baby, baby
I am a man
When a man loves a woman

It has been one horrible day after another. But, I am surviving by the grace of God. Like it says in the Book of Job in the Bible, '…this too shall pass…' and it soon will be Christmas! Yay!

Find me here,
And speak to me.
I want to feel you,
I need to hear you.
You are the light,
That's leading me,
To the place,
Where I find peace again.

You are the strength,
That keeps me walking.
You are the hope,
That keeps me trusting.
You are the life,
Into my soul.
You are my purpose,
You're everything.

And how can I stand here with you,
And not be moved by you?
Would you tell me,
How could it be,
Any better than this?

You calm the storms,
And you give me rest.
You hold me in your hand,
You wont let me fall.
You steal my heart,
And you take my breath away.
Would you take me in,
Take me deeper now.

And how can I stand here with you,
And not be moved by you?
Would you tell me,
How could it be,
Any better than this?

And how can I stand here with you,
And not be moved by you?
Would you tell me,
How could it be,
Any better than this?

Cuz you're all I want,
You're all I need,
You're everything, everything.

You're all I want,
You're all I need,
You're everything, everything.

You're all I want,
You're all I need,
You're everything, everything.

You're all I want,
You're all I need,
You're everything, everything.

And how can I stand here with you,
And not be moved by you?
Would you tell me,
How could it be,
Any better than this?

And how can I stand here with you,
And not be moved by you?
Would you tell me,
How could it be,
Any better, any better than this?

And how can I stand here with you,
And not be moved by you
Would you tell me,
How could it be,
Any better than this?

Would you tell me,
How could it be,
Any better than this…

If homework was a person? Lmao! Ninja, you just put in words what I wanted to say several years ago. I wish Algebra was a person for that matter I wish any sort of math was a person so I could beat the crap out of it. I had such a hard time in school with math.

How have you been? I mean besides the numb head and all…

It wasn't really sad the way they said good-bye
Or maybe it just hurt so bad she couldn't cry
He packed his things, walked out the door and drove away
And she became the girl from yesterday

He took a plane across the sea
To some foreign land
She stayed at home and tried so hard to understand
How someone who had been so close could be so far away
And she became the girl from yesterday

She doesn't know what's right
She doesn't know what's wrong
She only knows the pain that comes from waiting for so long
And she doesn't count the teardrops
That she's cried while he's away
Because she knows deep in her heart
That he'll be back someday

The light's on in the window; she's waiting by the phone
Talking to a memory that's never coming home
She dreams of his returning and the things that he might say
But she'll always be the girl from yesterday
Yeh, she'll always be the girl from yesterday

Person above me needs a new prescription for her contacts.

[SenorJalapeno]

Persons above me have strange sort of humor. Har Har Har!

[SenorJalapeno]

Oi Kavita ji, how in the world did you get a picture of my future ex-wife? She looks stunning doesn't she? Sigh!

[SenorJalapeno]

Close. It was actually a broken hand and badly lacerated face for a broken nose. Lol. Gawd! Now you know why all the skinnydipping and outdoor sports and the proclivity for bruises. I sometimes feel fettered in these stupid pin-stripes, french-cuffs, silk-knots, pocket-squares, polished shoes, hushed voices and polite smiles. Aaaargh!

Where I am, they start preparing for Christmas in September, since its a 'Ber Month. I remember despising it when I first got here. However, I am happily converted now Lol. I love Christmas for all the right reasons and one not quite so…this cafe near my home called San Francisco Coffee starts serving their 'Holiday Blend' coffee starting November. Yum!

For a while during my highschool days we lived in a neighborhood that was hostile to my brothers and I for the simple reason that we were Christian and from a lower caste. I could stomach the idea that others did not share my faith but could not condone that they called my little brothers horrible names. For every time any kid in the neighborhood made fun of my brothers, I made sure there was hell to pay. One of the kids brought his grown up cousin to help beat me up one summer, when my cousins too were vacationing with us. One of them was crazier than I was. We nailed a whole bunch of nails to our hockey sticks and went out to meet our would be assailants. Sadly, no blood was spilt that day. But, at least one grown up nearly pissed his shorts. I was very badly beaten a few weeks later in the park by several kids. Three years and some months later, I sent one of the kids that helped beat me up to the hospital with serious injuries. The remaining two were in Lucknow and Warangal the last I heard. They still have it coming. Lmao! (Kidding).

I once owned a Green Arrow costume complete with bow and arrows with suction cups instead of arrowheads. Unfortunately, I 'accidentally' shot my paternal grandmother (who was a horrible nag) and my father promptly confiscated the bow and arrows. Sadly, the costume bereft the accoutrements was creepy and so perished Green Arrow. Lmao!

[SenorJalapeno]

Tigger socks? Lmao! SuperTayba in a matching cape and tigger socks. You have any other erm cartoon-collectibles I need to know of, Tayba?

[SenorJalapeno]

Too small clothing (Read thongs sticking out of jeans…YUCK!)

Appropriate clothing on a woman the 'morning after:' Blankie wrap or her man's dress shirt?

Every day is a winding road. Enough said.

I hitched a ride with a vending machine repair man
He says he's been down this road more than twice
He was high on intellectualism
I've never been there but the brochure looks nice
Jump in, let's go
Lay back, enjoy the show
Everybody gets high, everybody gets low,
These are the days when anything goes

Everyday is a winding road
I get a little bit closer
Everyday is a faded sign
I get a little bit closer to feeling fine

He's got a daughter he calls Easter
She was born on a Tuesday night
I'm just wondering why I feel so all alone
Why I'm a stranger in my own life
Jump in, let's go
Lay back, enjoy the show
Everybody gets high, everybody gets low
These are the days when anything goes

Everyday is a winding road
I get a little bit closer
Everyday is a faded sign
I get a little bit closer

Everyday is a winding road
I get a little bit closer
Everyday is a faded sign
I get a little bit closer to feeling fine

I've been swimming in a sea of anarchy
I've been living on coffee and nicotine
I've been wondering if all the things I've seen
Were ever real, were ever really happening

Everyday is a winding road
I get a little bit closer
Everyday is a faded sign
I get a little bit closer

Everyday is a winding road
I get a little bit closer
Everyday is a faded sign
I get a little bit closer to feeling fine

Listen to other people play the piano.

Would you cook with or cook for the person you love?

[SenorJalapeno]

I am going to sleep. Sheesh! Bossy woman.

[SenorJalapeno]

Oi, you're so fast we all look slow to you huh? If you don't want to pin it on your 'boyfriend' Tayba, you could always say its from your wife. Lol.
