    Almost made it through Monday at work. I like what you said earlier about Monday not having to mean the end of the weekend. It's just that my reality is more fantasy than their daydream... One man, one goal, One mission. One heart, one soul, Just one solution. One flash of light, yeah, One god, one vision. One flesh, one bone, One true religion. One voice, one hope, One real decision. Wowowowo, gimme one vision, yeah. No wrong, no right. I'm gonna tell you there's no black and no white. No blood, no stain. All we need is one worldwide vision. One flesh, one bone, One true religion. One voice, one hope, One real decision. Wowowowowo, oh, yeah, oh, yeah, oh, yeah! I had a dream when I was young, A dream of sweet illusion, A glimpse of hope and unity, And visions of one sweet union. But a cold wind blows, And a dark rain falls, And in my heart it shows. Look what they've done to my dream, yeah. One vision! So give me your hands, Give me your hearts. I'm ready. There's only one direction. One world, one nation, Yeah, one vision. No hate, no fight, Just excitation, All through the night, It's a celebration, wowowowo, yeah. One [echo] (One vision) One flesh, one bone, One true religion. One voice, one hope, One real decision. Gimme one night, yeah. Gimme one hope, hey. Just gimme, ah. One man, one man, One bar, one night, One day, hey, hey. Just gimme gimme, gimme, gimme Fried chicken. Vision [fading]

    It's a game...the game of life....nobody wins.... As long as we get to smile, laugh, snort, blush, question....or spew coffee on the monitor at work it makes it all worthwhile.... Your mileage may vary..... I am an old woman Named after my mother An old man is another Child who's grown old If dreams were thunder Lightning was desire This old house it would've burned down A long time ago [Chorus:] Make me an angel That flies from montgomery Make me a poster Of an old rodeo Just give me one thing That i can hold on to To believe in this livin' Is just a hard way to go When i was a young girl I had me a cowboy It wasn't much to look at It was a free ramblin' man There was a long time No matter how i tried The years they just rolled by Like a broken down dance [Chorus] There's flies in the kitchen I can hear them there buzzin' And i ain't done nothing since i woke up today But how the hell can a person Go on to work in the morning To come home in the evening And have nothing to say

As Mayor I have only one request from you. Don't wear the hot pants. They didn't go over so well last time. Mr. Haney's ex got just a little bit too excited and the town meeting REALLY got out of hand as a result. We don't want that again, so please...no hot pants. Another election already????
