Seeing the funny side of life and things is a gift. The ability to help others not to take themselves too seriously, to make them lighten up and make a light out of sometimes less than perfect situations, is a talent.
I’m sick, y’all. And not in a good way. I’m sick in a sinus infection, coughing a lung up, can’t hardly stand it anymore kind of way.
I got sick at the tail end of vacation, which sucks, but at least I had a few days left to rest. So, I spent 2 days laying on the couch with my dog, watching movies and sleeping and reading and sleeping. Then back to work, but still sick, so it’s basically working and sleeping. This is the first time I’ve even opened my computer since last Friday morning, 6 days ago – and to be honest, I made myself do it. What I really want is to lay down again. I mean, I’ve been up a full 3 hours already! Enough is enough.
But I decided to pop in and do something I’ve never done before, which is post a video link that’s not mine. Just because I like it.
What I was reading those first days was Entertainment Weekly (I have a big unread stack of them, which is why I’m not allowed to subscribe to magazines). I was working my way backward and finally got to one about Amy Winehouse’s death. I hadn’t heard her voice before, that I knew of, and to be honest, I just always assumed that I wouldn’t like her music. But I was curious, so I started looking the songs up on my phone. Mostly I was right. Her voice is good, but…just not my kind of music.
Except this one:
I just love this song! I can’t get enough of it.
It’s a shame about Amy Winehouse. I may not particularly like any of the other music I heard, and I went through a lot of YouTube video trying to find more songs I would like. But she clearly had a talent.
It’s just a shame, the things we do to ourselves. I may not have a drug problem, but I do plenty of other detrimental things. Even just through negligence.
