Something about.....

Office has not been hectic these times, however, I cannot take a break because I have to be in the office for some documents retrieval for our major project in Iraq. So I am in the office and I can surf the net without being asked if I have finished some tasks as I do not have much now really.

So I brought 2 mp3 players in the office and stuck the one with 256mb into my hipbone, inside my skirt, inside my undie (oops!). I have been listening to music, answering I.Q. tests on the net, and so far I got only 120 and 110 as my results. One said I was linguistic architect, the other one was an inventor something, wow there is really something wrong about my memory these days. They seem to be slipping. My boss asked me some questions out of the blue such as what does IDIQ means? I can only go to I being Indefinite and the rest I had to go back to my computer to make sure that I would know them. And I was asked for some AOR, DCAA and another one which I forgot. Okay, IDIQ means Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity; AOR means Area of Responsibility; DCAA means Defense Contract Audit Agency; oh the other one is GAO which is General Accounting Office of the US.

So, on the the music... there really is something about James Taylor that makes you feel how good it is to be alive no matter how confusing the world is, no matter how messed up our lives are sometimes, no matter how dishevelled our hair is, his music just gives you that flow of goodness which makes you want to hug people or spread out love and kindness to those around you. My favorite is "Shower the People". I have provided the lyrics below. His words makes you want to fall in love, to love, makes you feel that you are loved, that your life has more meaning that what you give to it. Its just so exhilirating, his words, his music.

You can play the game and you can act out the part
Though you know it wasn’t written for you
But tell me, how can you stand there with your broken heart
Ashamed of playing the fool
One thing can lead to another; it doesn’t take any sacrifice
Oh, father and mother, sister and brother
If it feels nice, don’t think twice

Just shower the people you love with love
Show them the way that you feel
Things are gonna work out fine if you only will
Shower the people you love with love
Show them the way you feel
Things are gonna be much better if you only will

You can run but you cannot hide
This is widely known
And what you plan to do with your foolish pride
When you’re all by yourself alone
Once you tell somebody the way that you feel
You can feel it beginning to ease
I think it’s true what they say about the squeaky wheel
Always getting the grease.

Better to shower the people you love with love
Show them the way that you feel
Things are gonna be just fine if you only will
Shower the people you love with love
Show them the way that you feel
Things are gonna be much better if you only will

Shower the people you love with love
Show them the way that you feel

You’ll feel better right away
Don’t take much to do
Sell you pride
They say in every life
They say the rain must fall
Just like pouring rain
Make it rain
Make it rain
Love, love, love is sunshine.
Oh yes
Make it rain
Love, love, love is sunshine
Yeah, all right
Everybody, everybody
Shower the people you love with love

I cannot say that is the only one I can memorize too. I like his Handyman, One, How Sweet it is (to be loved by you) and sooooo much more.... so I am giving you a link of James Taylor's List of Albums.
