Everyone Is My Friend

i know what i have to do and do it.
i know what i have to do and do it.
but don’t know what it is until i’m done

i know it must be rough, you’re so much smarter than your friends
come clean in jokes, integrity in tennis shoes.
waiting thinking how’d i like to be kept waiting.
territory mutinies horizon. disease teaches immunity.
a promise implied can’t be broken
and even now in the sunlight with grapefruit juice and coffee bound and bountied to winter without end
would you two like each other or are you too alike?

i know what i have to do and do it
i know what i have to do and do it. but don’t know what it is until it’s done
i’ve been inventing you and continue inventing you
may we all make it home safely

i know it must be rough, you’re so much smarter than your friends
rehearsing disasters and forecasting all your needs
i dance early then got shy and had to go home early
the mirage will fade as it unfolded. the plot’s defamed it’s own voltage
a promise at the time can’t be beat
and even now as the snow is opening it’s whole in pieces and wets each grieving hold of last year’s trash
it’s not impossible to think of you thinking of me

way we all make it home safely

song meaning. doing what we can on what we have. mindful of the present and hopeful of the future. laughing with friends and living your life. befriending strangers and keeping in touch with the old. take time to know people, because not everyone is like you. and we learn from them. understand the one you love, they help us live. sometimes we get confused and unsure. but we know a lot about what we want. don’t stop. i won’t. listen to these songs. they help you remember that. everyone is my friend – owls.

The Office and the lives of it

Yesterday marked my 2nd year working for this company. Man how the years passed quickly. Looking back, I have to say that I honestly knew that I would last this long. It’s impossible not too. The people I have been with are inherently smart and fun loving. And the bond that we have, it does comes close to being a family.

So far so good.
