Just a Friendly Reminder

The friday happiness is intended to be just that. A collection of videos that should brighten your day and help you make it to your weekend. This post has evil intentions. Evil is being harsh. Let's just say intentions for my male readers. Valentines Day is rapidly approaching. For my gay readers Steak and a BJ Day can be substituted.

Here we go:

My favorite Tammy Wynette song. I have heard a ton of covers of this particular tune. Some good in the case of Solomon Burke. Most bad. This song is what real love is all about.



Lets move into the twentieth century. This is one of the many overlooked ballads by Jamiroquai. A quick warning, you may want to tape your foot to the floor.





I love this version of this song. The tragedy is ironic.One might even say palpable. Above and beyond that these are two of the most underrated voices in history. The song starts at 1:40





If that didn't melt your heart and get you to thinking about romantical thoughts for Feb 14th, this will.



I know that I am breaking my own rules because that is the last video. So I will leave you with this anecdote and try harder next week. Was talking with a friend at work about the biggest cinematic surprises we had witnessed. He said American Splendor. I gave him that. He is a former drama teacher and I a former drama student so we have similar tastes. We discussed his reasons and they were all valid. With baited nicotine breath he awaited my response. I honestly searched for a video to go with this. The monologue at the end of Dazed and Confused. I liked the movie just fine. The words will stay with me for a lifetime and may be a life lesson.
"Well, all I'm saying is that I want to look back and say that I did I the best I could while I was stuck in this place. Had as much fun as I could while I was stuck in this place. Played as hard as I could while I was stuck in this place... Dogged as many girls as I could while I was stuck in this place."

Those words may not mean much to you but it's how I try and live. I have dreams and they will be fulfilled. Until that day all I can do is give it my all and have as much fun as is legally possible. You do the same.

Next post I should have 350, that's right kids 350 Life Lessons. My plan is to post the whole list and decide whether to continue the list.
