Well, the weather people,
are calling for rain,
so, far,
clear skies,
fingers crossed.
The Canadiens lost,
last night,
they are obviously,
perturbed.
I’m distracted.
I have a few things,
on my mind,
I can’t seem to read,
the bookstore has been,
quiet, deserted, dead.
I’ve been thinking,
don’t sigh like that it’s not nice
thinking and listening to the,
radio.
I used to listen,
to Radio-Canada,
but,
then they started,
getting on my nerves,
always the same people,
saying the same,
things.
Don’t get me wrong,
it’s smart,
it’s just that,
Québec,
for an enormous land mass,
is a small place.
So I started listening,
to CBC,
that was good for a while,
but,
at one point,
I couldn’t stand the talking,
anymore.
So, I switched to,
a local,
very popular,
hybrid top 40,
easy listening,
station.
Quite a detour to,
tell you,
yesterday,
I heard Pink,
her new single,
Fuckin’ Perfect.
I had heard it many times,
even hummed along,
but,
yesterday,
I really heard it.
Let me say this,
I fuckin’ love Pink!!
Love everything about Pink.
If I had a daughter,
I would want her to listen,
to Pink.
She is an example.
Her lyrics are brilliant,
she is always,
saying,
be who you are,
you’re fucked up,
isn’t everyone, babe.
She’s the bad girl,
with the heart of gold,
with a conscience,
with attitude,
she rocks.
Her occasional,
swearing,
is not about,
being cool,
it’s about saying it,
like it is.
Dear Mr President,
an open letter,
to then,
President Bush,
Dear Mr. President
Were you a lonely boy
Are you a lonely boy
Are you a lonely boy
Are you a lonely boy
How can you say
No child is left behind
We’re not dumb and we’re not blind
They’re all sitting in your cells
While you pave the road to hell
That’s some potent stuff,
or this,
from Stupid Girls,
Maybe if I act like that (do like this), that guy will call me back
Porno Paparazzi girl, I don’t wanna be a stupid girl
Baby if I act like that (Oh, Oh-Oh, Do you think?), flipping my blond hair back (Do you think?)
Push up my bra like that, I don’t wanna be a stupid girl (Yeah, yeah)
or a personal favourite of mine,
about how to deal with,
unwanted advances,
Just U and Your Hand
I’m not here for your entertainment
You don’t really want to mess with me tonight
Just stop and take a second
I was fine before you walked into my life
Cause you know it’s over
Before it began
Keep your drink just give me the money
It’s just you and your hand tonight
The latest Pink single,
is amazing,
about empowerment,
cutting ourselves some slack.
Fuckin’ Perfect
Made a wrong turn, once or twice
Dug my way out, blood and fire
Bad decisions, that’s alright
Welcome to my silly life
Mistreated, misplaced, misunderstood
Miss ‘No way, it’s all good’, it didn’t slow me down
Mistaken, always second guessing, underestimated
Look, I’m still around
Pretty pretty please, don’t you ever ever feel
Like you’re less than fuckin’ perfect
Pretty pretty please, if you ever ever feel like you’re
nothing
You’re fuckin’ perfect to me!
You’re so mean, when you talk about yourself, you were
wrong
Change the voices in your head, make them like you
instead
So complicated, look happy, you’ll make it!
Filled with so much hatred…such a tired game
It’s enough! I’ve done all I can think of
Chased down all my demons, I’ve seen you do the same
Oh, pretty pretty please, don’t you ever ever feel
Like you’re less than fuckin’ perfect
The whole world’s scared so I swallow the fear
The only thing I should be drinking is an ice cold beer
So cool in line, and we try try try, but we try too
hard and it’s a waste of my time
Done looking for the critics, cause they’re everywhere
They dont like my jeans, they don’t get my hair
Exchange ourselves, and we do it all the time
Why do we do that? Why do I do that?
Why do I do that..?
Yeah, oh, oh baby, pretty baby..!
Pretty pretty please, don’t you ever ever feel
Like you’re less than fuckin’ perfect
Pretty pretty please, if you ever ever feel
Like you’re nothing, you’re fucking perfect to me
You’re perfect, you’re perfect!
Pretty pretty please, if you ever ever feel like you’re
nothing
You’re fuckin’ perfect to me…
Oh but to have had a Pink,
thirty years ago,
She’s great,
and she’s cute,
Kick ass and Perfect.
Later girls,
BB
