Circling the Bowl

Bad Blogger. Bad, bad Blogger. I know I sort of made a half-promise or at least the inkling of "tune in next time" that I was going to make a valid post this evening. But it just hasn't turned out that way. Nor have I watched an emotionally overwrought film with which to cleanse myself of excess build-up. (Build-up of what... I dunno... mucous? Excess pent-up feelings? - Hand me a box of tissue 'cause mucous is easier to be rid of.)

In stead I ended up talking to a friend in the industry about the sorry state of the radio station where I work. Long story short: the latest ratings book was not kind to us. In a "we're-circling-the-bowl-not- unlike-this-morning's-turd" kinda way. At any rate, that wasn't at all good for my emotional unrest. I've never worked anywhere where I actually cared how we did in the ratings. Or perhaps, I've never worked anywhere where I actually cared about the management, and the people I work for as much. I wish there was a quick fix. But I don't see it coming easy. I hope they have vision. That's all I can hope for since I don't really feel it's my place to offer up any suggestions. At any rate, I'd rather go down fighting for a company that treats their staff well (like where I work) than be on top at a station that treats their employees like shit. (where I used to work.).
It's hard to watch people with so much heart and spirit, discovering that their best just doesn't seem to be good enough. I work with some really, really good people. Almost the entire staff. It's so rare. I guess that's the positive side though, so I'll just be grateful for the whole bunch of them. It's strange to realize how strongly I feel about my workplace, considering how much I truly hate my job. Bit of a paradox; that one.

Anyhoo... How 'bout another song ...one I just finished listening to. Oh so smooth and comforting at 1 in the morning when you feel like eating a tub of ice cream (good thing I don't have one.) Sade (that's SH AH DAY) for the uninitiated. hee (the mispronunciation of her name makes me giggle - not with superiority mind you, I used to call her SAY'D in the "Smooth Operator" days. But she's been around for so long... y'just have to get with the program, don't you think?)

Anyhow - enough of my babbling. "Good night", and "a dream you don't want to wake up from" to you.

Cherish the Day ***love the hip hop "jeep beats" finale.

You're ruling the way that I move
And I breathe your air
You only can rescue me
This is my prayer

If you were mine
If you were mine
I wouldn't want to go to heaven
I cherish the day
I won't go astray
I won't be afraid
You won't catch me running

You're ruling the way that I move
You take my air
You show me how deep love can be

You're ruling the way that I move
And I breathe your air
You only can rescue me
This is my prayer

I cherish the day
I won't go astray
I won't be afraid
You won't catch me running
I cherish the day
I won't go astray
I won't be afraid
Won't run away

You show me how deep love can be
You show me how deep love can be
This is my prayer
I cherish the day
I won't go astray
I won't be afraid
Won't run away
Won't shy

I cherish the day
I won't go astray
I cherish the day
I cherish the day
I cherish the day
I cherish the day
I cherish the day
