Wordless Wednesday? Hardly

It's a rare occasion when I find myself wordless.

Speechless and awe stricken? Most definitely.

There are times when I find it's best to just let someone else do the talking. Or in this case, singing. One of my favorite songs by Queen.


Words and music by queen

Sometimes I get to feeling
I was back in the old days - long ago
When we were kids when we were young
Thing seemed so perfect - you know
The days were endless we were crazy we were young
The sun was always shining - we just lived for fun
Sometimes it seems like lately - I just don't know
The rest of my life's been just a show

Those were the days of our lives
Align CenterThe bad things in life were so few
Those days are all gone now but one thing is true
When I look and I find I still love you

You cant turn back the clock you cant turn back the tide
Ain't that a shame
I'd like to go back one time on a roller coaster ride
When life was just a game
No use in sitting and thinking on what you did
When you can lay back and enjoy it through your kids
Sometimes it seems like lately - I just don't know
Better sit back and go with the flow

Cos these are the days of our lives
They've flown in the swiftness of time
These days are all gone now but some things remain
When I look and I find no change

Those were the days of our lives - yeah
The bad things in life were so few
Those days are all gone now but one things still true
When I look and I find
I still love you

I still love you

    So, while I'm not sure what it is about that song that speaks for you (I rarely understand what songs are *really* about ... I'm a dunce like that), I love the image it portrays for me.

    Life moves quickly - more quickly, now that I am an adult - but I rarely feel like it is slipping through my fingers. I am just a little spec on this ride called life, and luckily "life" is the one amusement-park ride I enjoy. Especially when it means watching my daughter grow up.

    Freddie Mercury recorded this song at the end of his life. As you probably know, he died from complications with Aids.
    But what I walk away with is that we all have some regrets or wish we could be allowed some do-overs. Sometimes I feel like that because maybe with the knowledge I have now (20/20) vision my life could be enriched. Life was simpler in youth.
    I can't go back, but it's nice to take a minute to explore the what ifs in life.

    Hope you will soon share what part of your life you've been thinking and exploring their what ifs.

    Thanks for posting this song and affording us all a moment to reflect on where we've been, where we're going and all of the "what if's" that life throws our way. Keep on keepin' on!

Inaugural video message from your Wildhair

Oh, nice still frame! I look like I'm about to heave or I'm doing my impersonation of Jabba the Hutt. This is an impromptu idea. I wanted to give my friends, family and readers something special for the end of the year. Let me know if this version of my randomosity is something appealing for the future. My random blathering takes on a whole new meaning when you witness it live ... or almost live. Happy New Year!

Today makes the third day off work. Seriously, I need to find a way to make money doing this; screwing around online and in the process maybe hammer out a coherent thought that resonates with whomever stumbles up on my blog (either by accident or intention). This mornin g I had no inclination to do my laundry after Mancub left for school. No, what I fully planned was crawling back into bed for another hour or so. Then, once fully re-rested, I'd make a pot of coffee and chillax with the morning news. Oh, who am I fooling? I would have parked my carcass at this amusement box and goofed around on Plurk or Facebook with an intermittent perusal of one of the blogs I have listed over there ----------> Maybe I should always plan on being Miss Slackerass because, rather than going back to bed, I put on clothes, sorted laundry and hauled my tuchus to the local gas n'sip /launderette. Small town living is just so freakin ' peachy. For a Monday, the gas/laundry facility was

A hairy ordeal

I make no secret that I color my hair. It all started back in '83 when I used a temporary dye to make my already dark brown hair jet black. Why would I do that, you ask? Because when it comes to my love of the theater, I will make sacrifices. Our theater arts program put on "Flower Drum Song" as our Spring Musical. I was cast as seamstress Helen Chow. How odd that I play the role of a woman who was the object of unrequited love. For the record, I had a moment on the stage where I stood alone singing about how love needed to leave me be. "Love Look Away" also served as the song I would later sing in the Miss Kankakee Pageant. But I digress, as usual. This is not about my lonely hearts club or retro rewind to days of glory in high school. This is all about my 'do. The lioness's mane. My crowning glory; my hair. After looking at all the photos from the Rick Springfield concert, I am questioning my current choice of hair color. While I enjoy pre
