A piece of my mind

--- by Frank Sinatra I've got you under my skin I've got you deep in the heart of me So deep in my heart that you're really a part of me I've got you under my skin I'd tried so not to give in I said to myself, "This affair never will go so well" But why should I try to resist when, baby, I know so well I've got you under my skin I'd sacrifice anything come what might For the sake of havin' you near In spite of a warning voice that comes in the night And repeats, repeats in my ear "Don't you know, little fool, you never can win? Use your mentality, wake up to reality" But each time that I do just the thought of you makes me stop Before I begin 'cause I've got you under my skin I would sacrifice anything come what might For the sake of havin' you near In spite of the warning voice that comes in the night And repeats, how it yells in my ear "Don't you know, little fool, you never can win? Why not use your men...

Let go of my hand You said what you have to now Leave, leave... Glen Hansard - Leave

Days go by... People come and go... Everything changes... Except that foolish heart of hers, it keeps singing the same old song! Love me love me say that you love me fool me fool me go on and fool me love me love me pretend that you love me leave me leave me just say that you need me

Yesterday Nag introduced me to what google knows , which is pure fun. Reaching number 102, 103 and 104, I just found myself smiling, I do know these lines, I know they're definitely about poker (which I love by the way) but could not remember where I heard them in that order. Then today I remembered; I heard them in my dad's old records collection. See, my dad is a fan of Kenny Rogers and probably I heard this song so many times when I was younger that it just stuck to my head. Anyway... on youtube I found the muppet show version of "The Gambler" and I leave with these lines, not just about Poker, but about life.. You got to know when to hold em, know when to fold em, Know when to walk away and know when to run. You never count your money when you're sitting at the table. There'll be time enough for counting when the dealing is done.

"And when you look in my eyes please know my heart is in your hands It's nothing that I understand, but when in your arms you have complete power over me " ----- Near You Always by Jewel "I've looked at love from both sides now From give and take, and still somehow Its loves illusions I recall I really dont know love at all" ---Both Sides Now by Joni Mitchel "I know I can't resist I never wanna fall asleep I'll only wanna dive in deep And I’ve tried and I’ve tried and tried to walk away I am scared of what I missed But don't you know it taste so sweet I'll only want to dive in deep And I’ve tried and I’ve tried and tried to walk away" ---Can't Resist Texas " I let the day go by I always say goodbye I watch the stars from my window sill The whole world is moving and I'm standing still" ---World Spins Madly On by The weepies " I'll say come on, come on, come on, come on, yeah take it! Take another little pi...

Cool song, The world spins madly on by The Weepies. Came across this song, on Grey's Anatomy, like everything else I come across these days. But I kept on thinking, where did I hear it before? And then I realized I actually have this song, as part of Because I said so soundtrack, which is another really cool movie. Anyway, I leave you with the lyrics: Woke up and wished that I was dead With an aching in my head I lay motionless in bed I thought of you and where you'd gone and let the world spin madly on Everything that I said I'd do Like make the world brand new And take the time for you I just got lost and slept right through the dawn And the world spins madly on I let the day go by I always say goodbye I watch the stars from my window sill The whole world is moving and I'm standing still Woke up and wished that I was dead With an aching in my head I lay motionless in bed The night is here and the day is gone And the world spins madly on I thought of you and where yo...

A while back I decided that; I am ,and must always be, a happy person. Naturally, this is easier said than done. You face the weirdest situations in life and you feel so close to giving in and becoming sad, but I decided no! Old zeww, would have wrote down in the post why she hates the world around her.. the new zeww, will share with you Elliah Abo Madi's lovely poem أيهذا الشاكي أيهذا الشاكي ، وما بك داء كيف تغدو إذا غدوت عليلا إن شر الجناة في الأرض نفس تتوقى قبل الرحيل الرحيلا وترى الشوك في الورود وتغمى أن ترى فوقها الندى إكليلا هو عب‏ء على الحياة ثقيل من يظن الحياة عب‏ء ثقيلا والذي نفسه بغير جمال لا يرى في الحياة شيئا جميلا فتمتع بالصبح ما دمت فيه لا تخف أن يزول حتى يزولا أيهذا الشاكي وما بك داء كن جميلا ترى الوجود جميلا إيليا أبو ماضي

I can't remember if I blogged this song before or not and I really don't care; I absolutely love it. I'd almost call it my favorite song, but we all know how my mood swings can affect my taste. First time I heard it I think was inhigh school. It just clicked, though , then I couldn't relate to it in any way, but I just understood what she meant. Now, I realized, this is the typical pattern of person I fall for everytime. The " always the mysterious one with, dark eyes and careless hair " is my typical physical description of a special someone to my friends, " brilliant " is a quality I can't go without, " smoking your cigarettes and talking over coffee " is the part that confuses me.. why do I always fall for smokers when I have serious objections to the principal, " philosophies on art, Baroque moved you, you loved Mozart " is for the fact that I tend to go for the cultured sophisticated type, who happen to have the opposite ...

For today's post, I'll just put a quote from one of my favorite movies, and a line from one of my favorite songs. These represent my mood now. From Love Actually , Daniel : So what's the problem, Sammy-o? Is it just Mum or is it something else? Maybe... school - are you being bullied? Or is it something worse? Can you give me any clues at all? Sam : You really want to know? Daniel : I really want to know. Sam : Even though you won't be able to do anything to help? Daniel : Even if that's the case, yeah. Sam : Okay. Well, the truth is... actually... I'm in love. Daniel : Sorry? Sam : I know I should be thinking about Mum all the time, and I am. But the truth is I'm in love and I was before she died, and there's nothing I can do about it. Daniel: [laughs] Aren't you a bit young to be in love? Sam: No. Daniel: Oh, well, okay, right. Well, I mean, I'm a little relieved. Sam: Why? Daniel: Well, because I thought it would be something worse. Sam: ...

Katie Melua's In my secret life lyrics. One of my favorite three managers in the world shed the lights on this amazing artist (Merci beaucoup K, vous êtes le meilleur), I fell in love with her instantaneously. I highly recommend her to everyone! Anyway, Nag, this song is dedicated to you, reminds me so much of our IBM talks , our London Emails, our Zamalek walks, and our crazy night phone calls when we're both lonely. Babe, I miss you.. come back! I leave all of you with the lyrics: In my secret life I saw you this morning, You were moving so fast. Can't seem to loosen my grip, On the past. And I miss you so much, There's no one in sight. And we're still making love, In my secret life. I smile when I'm angry. I cheat and I lie. I do what I have to do, To get by. But I know what is wrong, And I know what is right. And I'd die for the truth, In my secret life. Hold on, hold on, my brother, My sister, hold on tight. I finally got my orders, I'll be marchin...
