Woke Up This Morning and Got Yourself a Gun....

No, I haven't flipped yet. Not completely!

After reading my post yesterday, I realized that I was suffering from "the blues", from all the adjustment I assume...So, I pulled my ass in gear and made promisess to myself about how exactly I wanted this new existence to flow...I woke up and got the daughter ready for school, caught some news, and started on myself. I made sure that my clothes matched, curled my hair, and made sure that my makeup was pristine. If I "let myself go", it's really not going to reinforce in my own mind that I am an important member of the world. So, now I look cute. I grabbed some breakfast with my Dad, and ran a couple of errands with him. It was good.
Then, I went to Best Buy, I wanted a cordless phone with headset like my friend S has, and I had seen a cute little on for $40 a couple of months ago, but never moved on it. I also wanted to get an alarm clock with a CD alarm, and I wanted to buy the Sopranos soundtrack, so I could wake up to "Woke Up this Morning". So, we headed to Best Buy. Turns out, my waiting had worked in my favor. Thank You, Goddess! The phone had been marked to clearance- $25! The Sopranos soundtrack had been reduced to $10! I also picked up the soundtrack to Chicago- so I could listen to "The Cell Block Tango", or as I like to call it, "He had it Comin'". Both of the songs I purchased were about murder, which worried my father. But, "Woke Up This Morning" is the perfect morning song, it just makes you want to get up and move, you know? Every once in a while a song comes along and it's so full of energy, that you could be setting at the deathbed of a loved one, and you would find yourself dancing. It's one of those. Check out the lyrics- better yet, listen hard next time you see yummy-licious Tony Sporano driving in his car. Ummm...I know he's not the typical sexy man, but I do not know of ONE single woman that has watched the show a couple of times and isn't hot for Tony. He could throw me around and feed me pasta anytime. Oh, yeah...the lyrics.

Woke Up This Morning by A3

You woke up this morning
Got yourself a gun,
Mama always said you'd be
The Chosen One.

She said: You're one in a million
You've got to burn to shine,
But you were born under a bad sign,
With a blue moon in your eyes.

You woke up this morning
All the love has gone,
Your Papa never told you
About right and wrong.

But you're looking good, baby,
I believe you're feeling fine,(shame about it),
Born under a bad sign
With a blue moon in your eyes.

You woke up this morning
The world turned upside down,
Thing's ain’t been the same
Since the Blues walked into town.

But you're one in a million
You've got that shotgun shine.
Born under a bad sign,
With a blue moon in your eyes.

When you woke up this morning everything you had was
gone. By half past ten your head was going ding-dong.
Ringing like a bell from your head down to your toes,
like a voice telling you there was something you should
know. Last night you were flying but today you're so low
- ain't it times like these that make you wonder if
you'll ever know the meaning of things as they appear to
the others; wives, mothers, fathers, sisters and
brothers. Don't you wish you didn't function, wish you
didn't think beyond the next paycheck and the next little
drink? Well you do so make up your mind to go on, 'cos
when you woke up this morning everything you had was gone.

When you woke up this morning,
When you woke up this morning,
When you woke up this morning,
Mama said you'd be the Chosen One.

When you woke up this morning,
When you woke up this morning,
When you woke up this morning,
You got yourself a gun.
