"It came without ribbons. It came without TAGS."

… 
-- "It came without packages, boxes or BAGS.
Maybe 'Christmas' doesN'T come from a STORE.
Maybe 'Christmas' means a little bit MORE."
(--Narrator/Dr. Seuss, 'How the Grinch Stole Christmas!')

… 


-- When you are GRATEFUL,
"Fear" DIS-appears & "Peace-of-mind" APPEARS.

… 


-- Enjoy the "LITTLE-things" in life, because one day you'll 

look back and realize they were the "BIG-things".




"You're So Vain"
(feat. Mick Jagger)     (by Carly Simon)

[Whisper:] Son of a gun.

You walked into the party like you were walking onto a yacht
Your hat strategically dipped below one eye
Your scarf it was apricot
You had one eye in the mirror as you watched yourself gavotte
And all the girls dreamed that they'd be your partner
They'd be your partner, and...

You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you
You're so vain, I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you? Don't You?

You had me several years ago when I was still quite naive
Well you said that we made such a pretty pair
And that you would never leave
But you gave away the things you loved and one of them was me
I had some dreams, they were clouds in my coffee
Clouds in my coffee, and...

You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you
You're so vain, I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you? Don't You?

I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee
Clouds in my coffee, and…

You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you
You're so vain, I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you? Don't You?

Well I hear you went up to Saratoga and your horse naturally won
Then you flew your Lear jet up to Nova Scotia
To see the total eclipse of the sun
Well you're where you should be all the time
And when you're not you're with
Some underworld spy or the wife of a close friend
Wife of a close friend, and…    

You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you
You're so vain, I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you? Don't You? Don't You?

You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you
You're so vain, I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you? Don't You?



(MY version, entitled, 


''You're So Lame'':)


"(Whisper:) Boy-GENIUS,


You merged onto the highway without a care in the WORLD,

Fresh from yet ANOTHER 'martial arts'-CLASS.

Your mind … 'twas RELAXED.

You breathed-DEEPLY, as your energy was 'MAXED'.

And, the OTHER teachers DREAMED they'd have your 

SKILLS,

They'd have your SKILLS, and ... 

You're so LAME! You probably think your legs'll 

'ABANDON you'!

You're so LAME! I'll bet you think the nerves'll just RE-

GROW!  

Don't you?  DoN'T YOU?!


You had me eight years ago, when you were still quite 

'SPORTY'.


Well, you showed that your legs are very-STRONG,

And, that they would NEVER-TIRE!

But, you 'LOST' that very STRENGTH of said 'tree-

TRUNKS'.

You HAD some DREAMS.  You WERE 'WELL on your 

WAY'!

'WELL on-your-WAY', AND 



You're so LAME! You probably think your legs'll 

'ABANDON you'!

You're so LAME! I'll bet you think the nerves'll just RE-

GROW!  

Don't you?  DoN'T YOU?!



You HAD some DREAMS.  You WERE 'WELL on your 

WAY'!

'WELL on-your-WAY', AND 



You're so LAME! You probably think your legs'll 

'ABANDON you'!

You're so LAME! I'll bet you think the nerves'll just RE-

GROW!  

Don't you?  DoN'T YOU?!


Well, I see you're now wheelchair-bound & emotionally-

'DOWN',

Yet, you CONTINUE-to try ANYWAY.

To OVERCOME ALL your 'OBSTACLES'.  

Well, you 'give your-ALL ALL-the time.

Even when LIFE seems BLEAK,

Your muscles & nerves are NOT-COOPERATIN',

You 'hold your head HIGH'!

You're so LAME! You probably think your legs'll 

'ABANDON you'!

You're so LAME! I'll bet you think the nerves'll just RE-

GROW!  

Don't you?  Don't you?  DoN'T YOU?!



You're so LAME! You probably think your legs'll 

'ABANDON you'!

You're so LAME! I'll bet you think the nerves'll just RE-

GROW!  

Don't you?  DoN'T YOU?!"

-- DAMN YOU, "Mother-Nature"!

At ~4:30 am, some URGENT "URINARY-tension" 

"DISTURBED my SLUMBER".

(… HAAARUMPF!)

… NEVERTHELESS, since I was AWAKE, I decided-to 

play ALOTTA "Minesweeper" & do ALOTTA crunches … as 

MENTAL- & PHYSICAL-exercise.


-- This evening, I HELPED my housemate a LOVELY 

PREPARE a LOVELY BIRTHDAY-dinner of 

broiled, BRINED chicken, sweet-potatoes & 'tabuli'  

for 'benim ane' ('beh-NEEM AH-neh') (… = PHONETIC 

Turkish for 'my mom').
