Zebra

I can be loud man, I can be silent
I could be young man or I could be old
I can be a gentleman or I can be violent
I could turn hot man or I can be cold
I could be just like the calm before the storm boy
Waiting for all hell yeah to break loose
I could be innocent or I could be guilty
Doesn’t mean that I don't believe in the noose

So I’m singin’……
da da da da

I could be rich like a wandering Gypsy
I could be poor like a fat wallet lost
I could be first man or I could come last
It's not who breaks the ribbon, boy it’s how you get across
I could be red, blue, black or white,
Sunset, darkest at day, boy brightest at night
I could be the sun, boy or I could be the moon
I'm made up from the stars, boy I'm shining so bright.

So I’m singin’……
da da da da

I could be asleep boy, or I could be awake
I can be alive man or be the walking dead
I can be ignorant or I could be informed (Yes sir)
I could lead my life man or I could be led (That's right)
I can be anything I put my mind to boy,
All I gotta do is give myself a half a chance
I could bring love back into my life
Share it with the world if I got some balance

So I’m singin’……

the best "to do" list ever

It's the simple things. Nothing wrong with that!

• make a list (thanks to Beth for this life-affirming trick)

• Enjoy a car journey home without having to worry about transfers, not having a seat, or affording snacks.

• "getting in" - and all that entails. A cup of tea, home cooking or a takeaway, seeing what's changed around the house.

• Sit in the Bell and Barrel with my friends, catch up, play pool and generally be snug indoors. Jam Nights. They probably suck, but it means I'm home. I don't care if just relaxing with my friends and catching up over a drink is boring or common, or whatever. It's something really important and makes me content. I don't think sitting in a little corner by the pool table or even walking to the Seven Stars is too much to ask from life :)

• St.Helens Town. Well, I never thought I'd miss the somewhat boring town centre, but damn it, it's home - and wandering around looking for presents will be nice and nostalgic.

• I wonder if I'll get to go to a Rugby match whilst I'm home. Maybe there will be a 'Friendly' just after Christmas.

• Eccleston (my village within the borough of St.Helens). I'll definitely be taking some walks around home over the holidays.

• Just sitting in the house and reading, enjoying a drink before helping with the Christmas Dinner.

• New Year (although I dislike New Year's Eve) will bring the usual need to be organized and calm. Much buying of stationary, candles and planning diary entires in an attempt to appear on the ball and relaxed.
  

OK, so I know there will be lots of work to do too. Sorting out Uni work, revising, etc etc. I'm not kidding myself. But still, "all work and no play..." etc
