I did mean to blog about the horror in New Zealand and even began. But I started to watch television and got terribly distracted by Josh Grogan, who I am actually not that fond of. But he sang an Elton John song, graciously giving him credit. I began to weep convulsively and soon I shall tell you why.
Yesterday I was at VAG and was talking to a staff member who does not have a nickname. He is a great guy and we were talking about a problem in my life that includes Equinox gym.
Me: AND I know a man high up the food chain at the Equinox and he adores me. I know!
He: We ALL do. We all adore you.
Me: Oh my goodness! I am going to cry and I will blog this!
He: I would expect no less.
So here is the Elton John song.
“She’s Always A Woman”
She can kill with a smile
She can wound with her eyes
She can ruin your faith with her casual lies
And she only reveals what she wants you to see
She hides like a child
But she’s always a woman to me
She can lead you to love
She can take you or leave you
She can ask for the truth
But she’ll never believe you
And she’ll take what you give her as long as it’s free
Yeah, she steals like a thief
But she’s always a woman to me
Oh, she takes care of herself
She can wait if she wants
She’s ahead of her time
Oh, and she never gives out
And she never gives in
She just changes her mind
She will promise you more
Than the Garden of Eden
Then she’ll carelessly cut you
And laugh while you’re bleedin’
But she’ll bring out the best
And the worst you can be
Blame it all on yourself
Cause she’s always a woman to me
Oh, she takes care of herself
She can wait if she wants
She’s ahead of her time
Oh, and she never gives out
And she never gives in
She just changes her mind
She is frequently kind
And she’s suddenly cruel
She can do as she pleases
She’s nobody’s fool
But she can’t be convicted
She’s earned her degree
And the most she will do
Is throw shadows at you
But she’s always a woman to me
And it suddenly, instantly explained to me the nature of my appeal to both men and women. (children as well and occasionally dogs). I am still crying, not sure why but I am. The woman portrayed is totally me, as all of you who know me will attest. Attest: corroborate, confirm, verify, substantiate, document, authenticate, give proof of, provide evidence of, evidence, demonstrate, evince, display, exhibit, show, manifest, prove, endorse, back up, support, guarantee; affirm, aver, swear to, testify to, bear witness to, bear out, give credence to, vouch for; Law depose to; informal stick up for, throw one’s weight behind; rare asseverate. ANTONYMS disprove.
So the song evidences and manifests why people are drawn to me. And goodness knows I have earned my degree. Hahahaha
That’s a Billy Joel song, not Elton John.
