"Stones taught me to fly..."

After 5 days of working on a report I have produced one fat 122 page bitch of a report. As I type this I have page 123 minimized at the lower right hand corner of the computer screen as my carpel tunnel rages on my right wrist. I am taking this much need small break not because my wrist hurts but I have hit writer's block, after 122 fucking pages!! Out of all the damn pages I have to hit the fucking wall on the last fucking PAGE. Argh!!

In the meantime I am enjoying Mr. Damien Rice's O. So fucking lovely. I have been listening to it over and over again ever since I found a new copy after my old one mysteriously disappeared. The beautiful Miss. Batt is lying down next to me in her daddy's chair, on her back with her paws up in the air staring into space. For some reason, this very moment feels extra calm and relaxing. And I am really not doing anything out of the ordinary. I guess its the music and the company of a loving cat.

Not going complain about this moment of peace. It doesn't come often and I might as well enjoy it.

Now I give you Cannonball by Damien Rice:

Still a little bit of your taste in my mouth
Still a little bit of you laced with my doubt
Still a little harder to say what's going on

Still a little bit of your ghost, your witness
Still a little bit of your face I haven't kissed
You step a little closer each day
That I can’t say what's going on

Stones taught me to fly
Love, taught me to lie
Life taught me to die
So it's not hard to fall
When you float like a cannonball

Still a little bit of your song in my ear
Still a little bit of your words I long to hear
You step a little closer to me
So close that I can't see what's going on

Stones taught me to fly
Love, taught me to lie
Life taught me to die
So it's not hard to fall
When you float like a cannon..
Stones taught me to fly
Love, taught me to cry
So come on courage
Teach me to be shy
'Cause it's not hard to fall
And I don't wanna scare her
It's not hard to fall
And I don't wanna lose
It's not hard to grow
When you know that you just don't know


Perfection to every letter of the lyrics.
