Everyone probably has one. You know the one that would go off as you entered a room. Theme from Bonanza for me. Plus I always thought that I was a Cartwright in another life time ---

Oh, I don’t know. It depends on what mood I’m in. If I’m feeling mysterious, it’s probably “Daily Nightly” by The Monkees. If I’m feeling silly, it’s probably “Auntie’s Municipal Court” by The Monkees. If I’m feeling rebelious, it’s probably “Bye, Bye, Bye, Bye” by Michael Nesmith (Note-actually ALL these songs are by the Nez) If I’m feeling drunk, it’s probably “Dedicated Friend” by Michael Nesmith. If I feeling love, some alien being has taken over my body. However if I’m feeling lust, it’s probably “Sweet Young Thing” by The Monkees. * * * **Jim Petty _An oak tree is just a nut that stood it’s ground_** [Don’t click here](http://hometown.aol.com/jimpetty/page/index.htm) ---

if i’m feeling melancholy, “Time After Time” by Cyndi Lauper. Otherwise, any song by Cake will do. * * * [OfficeGirl in action](http://www.homestead.com/allusions/allusions.html) “Argue for your limitations; sure enough, they’re yours.” ---

hmmmm all depends When i’m in a great mood (like yesterday afternoon after a really great phone call) Everyday Sunshine by Fishbone When I’m morose - There is a Light That Never Goes Out by the smiths when i’m feeling rowdy - No One Lives Forever by Oingo Boingo When feeling tender and cuddly - most any Harry Connick Jr right now, 3 am, no sleep or hope of sleep: Shriekback “This Big Hush” Is there a fire in the sky Is there a moon up there Is anything alight now This darkness hears what I hear This is a breathless silence A moment out of time I see your face in the shadows The tell tale signs are in your eyes More than I can hold in my hands Running through the gaps like water Aching with a passion inside Deep as the river of desire The ashes and the fire Turning this light inside And the light from you Is there a flame in the dark Is there a bright hot star These creatures look the same now We freeze wherever we are We wake alone in the blackness We sleep wherever we fall One dream all around us This big hush infects us all Holding up my hand in a field Soaking up the waves underwater I’m tuned to music no one can hear Forever in this halflight of desire The ashes and the fire Turninging this light inside And the light from you. * * * Don’t let the loveless ones sell you a world wrapped in grey. ---
