I had a Beyhive moment about a co-worker recently. Beyonce was playing at the christmas party. So this lady is like... "I have Beyonce! She's so disgusting and demonic." So everyone looks at me. Like... I know I stan out from time to time, but its not like she insulted Prince. We weren't gonna have to box or anything. So she kept saying it and doing the Single Ladies dance mockingly. (For someone who hates Beyonce, she had the choreography DOWN, tho.
I wonder if this is what working with Royalan is like.
Anyway, folks are telling her to cool it, because I REALLY REALLY like Beyonce. And I tell her, "Its not that serious." Mind you, I don't particularly care for this person. She tries super hard to get into my circle, and holds some abhorrent beliefs. But hey, all have to do is work down the hall from her. She doesn't work for me.
Anywho, to the Beyhive part (and I'm not proud of this, mind you. I thought it was hilariously horrible.) So fast forward to last week, her son comes up missing and its found out later that he killed himself. Me and another co-worker were talking about what we'd say to her when/if she came back to work, and without thinking I told him I'd say,
"See what happens when you hate Beyonce?"
Now, I work in a field where death of clients (and once and awhile co-workers) are a pretty common occurrence and joking about death is me and by work buddy's coping mechanism. Elsewise we'd be miserable continuously.
Of course, when I saw her (at the funeral) I didn't say it. But I went with that same co-worker and he said he couldn't stop thinking about it and was trying not to laugh when we went to speak to her.
I am more shocked about the part about the death of the clientes and/or coworkers being so common that you make jokes about it since that has a similarity with the city I live =/
Rhiannon rings like a bell through the night
and wouldn't you love to love her?
Takes to the sky like a bird in flight
and who will be her lover?
All your life you've never seen
woman, taken by the wind
Would you stay if she promised you heaven?
Will you ever win?
She is like a cat in the dark
and then she is the darkness
she rules her life like a fine skylark
and when the sky is starless
All your life you've never seen
woman taken by the wind
Would you stay if she promised you heaven?
will you ever win? Will you ever win?
I've been stuck on this song for about a week. Get into it popgaf.
No one looked
I walked by
Just an invitation would have been just fine
Said no to him again and again
First he took my heart then he ran
No one knows how I feel
What I say unless you read between my lines
One man walked away from me
First he took my hand
Take me home
(Stand back, stand back)
In the middle of my room
I did not hear from you
It's alright, it's alright
To be standing in a line
(Standing in a line)
To be standing in a line I would cry
IT"S JUST SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Its just so SweeeeeEEEt! SweeeeeEEEt! Fantasy. SweeeeeEEEt! SweeeeeEEEt! It's just so SweeeeeEEEt! SweeeeeEEEt!
See when you in love you might have to fight
Don't ever say you won't (ever say you won't)
You might get real mad
Wanna act all bad
Act up in the street, few chicks ya gotta beat cause the disrespect
Clockin ya man from his feets to his neck
Uh!
You gotta let her know that's a no-no
Slap her real slow with her right blow
Whichever way you go and keep it gangsta (gangsta)
Show these bitches that aint gon (aint gon)
Yank a point, blank a top, rank her
I ride for my [redacted] and I'm happy with the trigger
Scared how you figure?
My man
Said time again that's my man (my man)
My man again, I say that's my man (that's my maaan!)
Its just me and my man, simply me and my man
I kinda love that Paul is collaborating with artists that some Beatles fans would typically berate/shit on. I can't wait to see what he cooks up w/ Gaga.
If that shit song gets a grammy then that'll be disappointing. On the other hand, the backlash that'll occur from Iggy winning a grammy will be a colossal kii to witness, so it's bittersweet.
