I want to know which one of the guys has the "ROCK MY F###ING PANTIES OFF!!!!" T-shirt? Are they going to do a Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants type deal where they all take turns or what?!

Just remembered how amazed I was as a kid at how similar John Denver and Martina Navratilova looked.

Liz I'm sorry to hear such news!  It's weird how death affects us even in such a disconnected way... for me it's such a "reality check" (whatever that might be....) Even though we aren't close to everyone in our lives, it's hard to not put yourself in their shoes (or their loved ones shoes).

Death, as dark as it can be, always somehow seems to cast a light on what we still have, and (for me) gives me that clear unprecedented appreciation that true presence brings. I always find myself, after news of someone dear passing, giving extra kisses to my pets and throwing in extra "I love you"s to the family & friends....  Even as far as paying closer attention to strangers, sometimes.... just realizing the finite nature of things in close-up.  Not that we take things for granted (that tends to seem like a harsh phrase, to me sometimes) but we naturally get used to how things are and how they've been. And I don't know, I guess I've started tangent-ing, so I'll just wrap things up now... definitely very sorry to hear of the loss, hope the week will shine brighter for you!

thanks, jen - i totally know what you mean & agree.  it seems silly that it would take something like this to make people "appreciate" the things in life that we sometimes take for granted.  maybe it's nature's way of balancing things out.  i don't know if that makes sense even!   but i do believe that everything happens for a reason & sometimes we just have to trust that things will be better somehow.

reality checks are rough sometimes.  

*hugs*

On a (sort of?) related note, my downstairs neighbor has been...*ahem* LOUD as hell lately.  I'm happy for her, but damn, it always seems to be right when I'm trying to go to sleep, and last night I wasn't sure if they were rearranging the furniture or what...   ;D

So, a good friend of mine got married a while back and I had the idea to commission a platter for them as a wedding present.  My initial idea - since he is a music freak - was to put some lyrics from their "first dance" song on the platter, maybe with a little graphic and the wedding date.  Well, they didn't end up doing a first dance, but at the end of the night they danced to "Tiny Dancer" and it was kind of a beautiful moment, with everyone crowding around them in a group hug kind of thing.  Happy tears and the whole bit.  It was one of those things they'll always remember and I kind of want to commemorate that.

My problem, I guess, is that I'm not sure which lyrics from "Tiny Dancer" are appropriate...kind of leaning toward "pretty eyed, pirate smile/you'll marry a music man" since she does have very pretty eyes and that's one of the first things he told me about her.  The "pirate smile" thing throws me a bit...I don't know her as well as I know him and I'm not sure if she'd think that was kind of WTF.   ;D

Any thoughts/suggestions?  Here are the full lyrics if anyone cares to help.

Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band
Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man
Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand
And now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand

Jesus freaks out in the street
Handing tickets out for God
Turning back she just laughs
The boulevard is not that bad

Piano man he makes his stand
In the auditorium
Looking on she sings the songs
The words she knows the tune she hums

But oh how it feels so real
Lying here with no one near
Only you and you can hear me
When I say softly slowly

Hold me closer tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
you had a busy day today

Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band
Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man
Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand
And now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand

meh, that's one of those stories that could have happened anywhere.  surprising huffington post even bothered publishing it.  

David Byrne wrote a nice blog about detroit awhile back and hit the nail on the head pretty good about it:
