Always Look On the Bright Side of Life
Greetings, Amazin' Avenuans -
My apologies for not being around as often as I would have liked this year. I'm sure you all missed my usual pearls of wisdom.
I guess Eric said it as well as it can be said with his front page story there. Living in Denver as I do I have to wonder what the baseball gods are up to by packaging the "epic" meltdown that we experienced with one of the most unexpected, phenomenal runs in baseball history, and that would of course be the one the Rockies just concluded.
I think back to that lost July 4 trip that the Mets had out here. Had those games gone differently, of course it would be us in the playoffs and not them.
But, such is life. When you take a swift kick to the mandibles there's not a lot you can do except writhe around on the ground in the fetal position for a while and cough up blood. So that's the mode I'm still in. But I'd like to lift myself, and the rest of you, out of that state of mind, with a little song. Perhaps you're familiar with it:
Always Look on the Bright Side of Life
Some things in life are bad,
They can really make you mad,
Other things just make you swear and curse.
When you're chewing life's gristle,
Don't grumble,
Give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best.
And...
Always look on the bright side of life.
[whistle]
Always look on the light side of life.
[whistle]
If life seems jolly rotten,
There's something you've forgotten,
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing.
When you're feeling in the dumps,
Don't be silly chumps.
Just purse your lips and whistle.
That's the thing.
And...
Always look on the bright side of life.
[whistle]
Always look on the right side of life,
[whistle]
For life is quite absurd
And death's the final word.
You must always face the curtain with a bow.
Forget about your sin.
Give the audience a grin.
Enjoy it. It's your last chance, anyhow.
So,...
Always look on the bright side of death,
[whistle]
Just before you draw your terminal breath.
[whistle]
Life's a piece of shit,
When you look at it.
Life's a laugh and death's a joke it's true.
You'll see it's all a show.
Keep 'em laughing as you go.
Just remember that the last laugh is on you.
And...
Always look on the bright side of life.
Always look on the right side of life.
[whistle]
Always look on the bright side of life!
[whistle]
Always look on the bright side of life!
[whistle]
Always look on the bright side of life!
[whistle]
Always look on the bright side of life!
[whistle]
Always look on the bright side of life!
[whistle]
Always look on the bright side of life!
[whistle]
Always look on the bright side of life!
[whistle]
Always look on the bright side of life!
[whistle]
Repeat to fade...

additional song lyrics
Well, Im running down the road
Tryin to loosen my load
Ive got seven women on
My mind,
Four that wanna own me,
Two that wanna stone me,
One says shes a friend of mine
Take it easy, take it easy
Dont let the sound of your own wheels
Drive you crazy
Lighten up while you still can
Dont even try to understand
Just find a place to make your stand
And take it easy
Well, Im a standing on a corner
In winslow, arizona
And such a fine sight to see
Its a girl, my lord, in a flatbed
Ford slowin down to take a look at me
Come on, baby, dont say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love is
Gonna save me
We may lose and we may win though
We will never be here again
So open up, Im climbin in,
So take it easy
Well Im running down the road trying to loosen
My load, got a world of trouble on my mind
Lookin for a lover who wont blow my
Cover, shes so hard to find
Take it easy, take it easy
Dont let the sound of your own
Wheels make you crazy
Come on baby, dont say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love is
Gonna save me, oh oh oh
Jay-Z:
'Cause I will not lose, they try to help him cheat
But I will not lose, for even in defeat
There's a valuable lesson learned, so that evens it up for me
I'm already excited for spring training. Revenge is sweet (especially the second time around).
