If you’ve been fortunate enough to eat at one of the seven Dupar’s Restaurants, you already know that the food is GOOD! Fresh, tasty, and in a pretty fun atmosphere. If you haven’t, you should check it out! (There’s even one in San Diego Michele!)
If you DO know what it’s all about, please go to dupars.com, select the BEST OVERNIGHT DINER link to the middle right, and vote for De-par’s! Our Farmer’s Market (Los Angeles) location is running against Bob’s Big Boy through a program sponsored by NBC. I would appreciate your help!
Passenger side, I slide on in.
Vinyl seats soft from the heat of the sun.
Chewin’ on a Slim Jim, can’t stop thinkin’ bout him.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, he’s the one.
Mmm, yeah, yeah, yeah, he’s the one.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, life’s so sweet right here in the passenger seat.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah, life’s so sweet.
When I look to my left see his suntanned hands,
His muddy river hair and his thousand acre plans.
I’m all shook up like a quarter in a can.
Ain’t life sweet in the passenger seat, yeah.
I daydream of me in a cold cotton pillow,
And the feel of his skin.
The window sill smiles and before I know it,
I’m miles away a-sittin’ next to him.
Miles away a-sittin’ next to him.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, life’s so sweet right here in the passenger seat.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah, life’s so sweet.
When I look to my left see his suntanned hands,
His muddy river hair and his thousand acre plans.
I’m all shook up like a quarter in a can.
Ain’t life sweet, yeah.
Instrumental break.
Shiftin’ those gears, baby, 1, 2, 3.
Then he shifts those ocean eyes back to me.
Can’t imagine a moment any better than this:
Then we kiss.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, life’s so sweet right here in the passenger seat.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah, life’s so sweet.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, life’s so sweet right here in the passenger seat.
Ooh, ooh, oh yeah, life’s so sweet, it’s…
Life’s so sweet, it’s….
Life’s so sweet, it’s…
So sweet in the passenger seat.
Life’s so, life’s so, life’s so sweet,
Right here.
Watching you from a distance
Beautiful from afar
Watching you watching me
Can you see my scars?
Dressing up in broken armor
I’m trying not to fall apart
I think I am afraid to see
How fragile we are
Like life when it shatters
Like hope when it matters
I know you never meant to hurt me
You don’t even know you broke my heart
I can’t see past it, I can’t let it go
I never found the words to tell you
Before I had the courage you were gone
I can’t see past it, I can’t let it go
I hear you when the world is silent
You’re coming through crystal clear
I hear you and I know you hear me
Somewhere, somewhere
Where the wall gives way to the water flowing
Through the cracks and the veins ’til the path
Starts showing
How fragile we are
Like life when it shatters
Like hope when it matters
I know you never meant to hurt me
You don’t even know you broke my heart
I can’t see past it, I can’t let it go
I never found the words to tell you
Before I had the courage you were gone
I can’t see past it, I can’t let it go
It was over before it started
You were gone before you came
I was lost before you found me
Now I’m lost, I’m lost again
I know you never meant to hurt me
You don’t even know you broke my heart
I can’t see past it, I can’t let it go
I never found the words to tell you
Before I had the courage you were gone
I can’t see past it, I can’t let it go
Empty spaces fill me up with holes
Distant faces with no place left to go
Without you within me I can’t find no rest
Where I’m going is anybody’s guess
I tried to go on like I never knew you
I’m awake but my world is half asleep
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I’m going to be is incomplete
Voices tell me I should carry on
But I am swimming in an ocean all alone
Baby, my baby
It’s written on your face
You still wonder if we made a big mistake
I tried to go on like I never knew you
I’m awake but my world is half asleep
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I’m going to be is incomplete
I don’t mean to drag it on, but I can’t seem to let you go
I don’t wanna make you face this world alone
I wanna let you go (alone)
I tried to go on like I never knew you
I’m awake but my world is half asleep
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I’m going to be is incomplete
By Plain White T’s. Well, this song is not really in the genre I started this day for as it is not metal/hard rock. But again, this is my blog and well…..I can rebel! This IS a pop/rock song, and more importantly, has been in my head all week. 🙂 I need to get on some drums to play it I think! I also like the rhythm guitar…….and there’s a rumor that the song was written for one of my friends. lol. Enjoy.
So, sorry this has not been update – I have a long list of excuses but won’t post them here!
Left Du-par’s a week ago, but have sort of made peace with it. I meet with Biff this morning for breakfast.
New job at a Mortgage Lender; Accounting Manager while also managing the office, HR, and IT. Will eventually be a back-up Underwriting/Operations manager as well. I have realized that Retail Underwriting seems to be WAY easier than commercial underwriting! So far, so good. This job, btw, has a whole story to it that makes it truly amazing, but I don’t have time now to elaborate.
Mom fell last week and was in the hospital. Thought she had a blood clot in her leg, but instead it is an infection that hurts really badly. Good news is that her lungs are doing pretty well, although she can’t walk very well. Still trying to get 24 hour care approved (she is on disability). She is home now and my brother is still caring for her – fingers crossed.
And that’s all I have time for now! Want to get a song posted. 🙂
He won’t lay a finger on you
He won’t wreck your pretty face
But he’ll tell you that you’re worthless
Just to put you in your place
Well, you don’t have to be kicked to be bruised, no
And you don’t have to be hit to be abused
Evangeline, you’re a hard one
Your denial is bolstered by your dreams
Thinking love is gonna save you
But it ain’t love if it’s mean
Evangeline
And the smile that you’re wearing
Is just a lovely veil
For the secrets that you’re hiding
That are just too dark to tell
Well, you don’t have to be cut to be scarred, no
And you don’t have to be struck to leave a mark
Evangeline, you’re a hard one
Your denial is bolstered by your dreams
Thinking love is gonna save you
But it ain’t love if it’s mean
Evangeline
Well, you don’t have to be kicked to be bruised, no
And you don’t have to be hit to be abused
Evangeline, you’re a hard one
Your denial is bolstered by your dreams
Thinking love is gonna save you
But it ain’t love if it’s mean
Evangeline
