Benjaminism: Sitting, Drinking, Smiling

October 19th, 2005

I’m sitting here listening to my LAUNCHcast and the boys’ door opens and I hear little footsteps. I look up and I see a smiley lil’ boy.

Me: “What are you so smiley about?”
Lil’ Boy: “You!”
Me: “You’re so smiley because of me?”
Lil’ Boy: “Yep, because I love you!”

What a good morning, already. Let’s keep it up!

booyakasha!

Ironic

October 11th, 2005

An old man aged 98
He won the lottery and died the next day
It’s the black fly in your Chardonnay
It’s the death row pardon 2 minutes too late
Isn’t it ironic
Don’t you think

It’s like rain on your wedding day
It’s a free ride when you’ve already paid
It’s the good advice that you just can’t take
And who would have thought
It figures

Mr Play-It-Safe was afraid to fly
Packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye
He waited his whole damn life to take this flight
And as the plane crashed down he thought ‘Well isn’t this nice’
And isn’t it ironic
Don’t you think

It’s like rain on your wedding day
It’s a free ride when you’ve already paid
It’s the good advice that you just can’t take
And who would have thought
It figures

Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything’s ok
And everything’s going alright
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
You think everything’s gone wrong

And everything blows up
In your face

A traffic jam when you’re already late
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It’s like 10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife
It’s meeting the man of my dreams and the meeting his beautiful wife
And isn’t it ironic
Don’t you think
A little too ironic
And yeah I really do think

It’s like rain on your wedding day
It’s a free ride when you’ve already paid
It’s the good advice that you just can’t take
And who would have thought
It figures

Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
Life has a funny funny way of helping you out
Helping you out
