Since its friday, song of the day

[JohnKleeb]

Monday morning feels so bad
Everybody seems to nag me
Coming Tuesday I feel better
Even my old man looks good
Wednesday just don't go
Thursday goes too slow
I've got Friday on my mind

CHORUS
(See my baby) Gonna have fun in the city (feel like fucking you)
(Do my baby screw) Be with my girl she's so pretty (all I want to do)
(I'll go crazy) She looks fine tonight
(zoom zoom zoom) She is out of sight to me (so divine)
(Tonight) I spend my bread
(Tonight) I lose my head
(Tonight) I've got to get tonight
Monday I have Friday on my mind

Do the five day drag once more (Monday blue)
There is nothing else that bugs me
More than working for the rich men (poor man, beggar man, thief)
Hey I'll change that scene one day
Today I might be mad
Tomorrow I'll be glad
'Cause I'll have Friday on my mind

CHORUS

(See my baby) (feel like fucking you)
Gonna have fun
(zoom zoom zoom)
Be with my girl (repeat ad lib.)

1. I woke up humming the song below.

2. Sweet

Fridays are the best for me since I always have them off, every weekend is a three day weekend for me this semester and I love it.

[xmas74]

3. I think I used to have classes on Friday.

I know that I never went.

I remember at one point purposely scheduling T/R classes so that I could have a four day weekend.

[JohnKleeb]

4. I had Wednesdays off last semester

It was ok I guess but having Fridays off is great especially if you're planning to go out of town for the weekend.

[xmas74]

5. That was why I scheduled my classes on Tues and Thurs.

I could leave Thurs evening and come back Mon night.

[JohnKleeb]

6. Yeah its smart

I'll be done in a month and a week, this year has gone by faaaaaaaaaast.

[xmas74]

7. And you must have found your life.

You've ignored us here most of the year.


I'm so proud of you Kleeb!

[JohnKleeb]

8. It was an eye opener

I still consider myself liberal as they come but seeing the world in shades of gray not black and white as I once had. Plus for US History I got one of those evil leftist professors being sarcastic here since he's liberal but balanced in his approach. Plus I've encountered many kinds of people, I took a class last semester with quite a few veterans and I felt like I was such a kid in the class but I did pretty well in International Relations, would have taken the second part of the course but I couldn't fit in this semseter.

[xmas74]

9. So you've found people that you can connect with?

That is fantastic news!

And I loved International Relations.

[JohnKleeb]

10. Its still a pretty anoyomous life for me but

I had myself a hell of a time this past December at this party. Yeah International Relations was interesting, its made the Cold War my history topic I am most interested in right now. I finished David McCullough's Truman recently and plan to pick up Khrushchev Remembers some time soon and I have Hope Dies Last, Alexander Dubcek's Autobiography coming to the school library soon but thats also for a presentation I am doing.

[xmas74]

11. What did you think of the Truman bio?

I'm curious. Remember, I live w/in a short drive of Independence and try to get to his library a couple times every year.

I'm a big fan of Truman. (Check out my sig line if you're not convinced)

[JohnKleeb]

13. I loved it

He's one of my favorite presidents now after reading it, the man was probably the most genuine president we've had in the last one hundred years. I really admire Truman as a president and as a person. I need to see presidential libraries, Truman just struck me as so genuine and devoted to helping the average American out.

[xmas74]

15. He was a great man

who really did care for his people and didn't care about what others thought of his methods.

If you ever make it in my area I'll show you around. I live about 40 minutes from the library and I live less than a half hour from where the assassination attempt was (in 1942, I think, while he was campaigning at the train station in Sedalia.)

Everything around here is named for Truman. We need more Trumans in this world.

[JohnKleeb]

16. Sweet

Yeah well he was a great guy, definely helped set the party forward on a lot of things, I honestly admire the fact that he did have prejudices because we all do but overcame them as seen in his support for anti lynching laws, desegerating hte military, and the formation of Israel.

[xmas74]

17. He was a product of his times and his upbringing

but he tried so hard not to be. That is the mark of a great man.

If you ever make it over here I'll dig up jbm and get her to help show you around Sedalia. She lives there and could get you around. We can look around the depot, go to Dickie Doo (a decent bbq place w/ live music) and hit the Wheel In (a place that sells Goober Burgers-sounds nasty but they taste so good!). If you ever make the trip June is the best time. It's the Scott Joplin festival and they have some great ragtime musicians there.

naturalselection lives in my town. My town is most famous for the phrase "A dog is a man's best friend" because "Eulogy to a Dog" was read here by George Graham Vest. He'd show you around to all the drinking spots. It's a college town so there are a few.

And KC itself includes evlbstrd and Proud2Blib. Proud is a really sweet woman who has had the Camp Casey experience and evl is as big of a Truman nut as I am!

[JohnKleeb]

18. Yeah I am paraphrasing him here

he basically said that though his forefathers were confederates, his very stomach churned at the thought of black soldiers being lynched after serving their country. You gotta love what Thurmond says too, a reporter asked him why are you leaving hte party now because Roosevelt proposed the same things, Thurmond said yes but Truman really means it. In many ways I like Truman better than FDR definely as a person, I think Truman had more personal integrity than Roosevelt did, I love Roosevelt but I think Truman did many things that Roosevelt wouldn't have done, it was the right move to pick him instead of Henry Wallace back in 44 for VP.

[xmas74]

21. I think he did many things that FDR wouldn't have done also.

Truman really was a man of the people. Don't get me wrong-I'm a FDR fan. But Truman had the common touch that most in politics just don't have.

[JohnKleeb]

22. I think its because

he had done many of the jobs people had, I saw this written somewhere, he had been a farmer, soldier, businessman, judge, etc. Yeah I love FDR too but I admire Truman more. FDR was great that said.

[xmas74]

23. He was also a failed businessman.

A clothing shop owner. He knew what rough times looked like and hated to see people live them.

[JohnKleeb]

24. My dad managed a cothing shop before I was born

You know who I also admire a lot and want to read more on, and its one of his personal heroes too, George Marshall. Every account I read about him from the people who were in my eyes the best in the era see Marshall as being one of the greatest statesmen, of course Joe McCarthy and one of his collueges, Senator Jenner didn't but they were damned fools.

[xmas74]

25. Marshall is another interesting one.

Sounds like you have some good reading ahead of you.

[JohnKleeb]

27. I really can't wait to start Hope Dies Last

Dubcek though I know only the basics about him seems to be such an interesting guy, he was born in Slovakia but lived for some time here in the states then as a young man he went back to his country and was part of the anti Nazi resistance. The people I admire most from the Cold War era are Europeans who fought the Nazis and Soviets with the same intensity.

[Misunderestimator]

12. Where the hell have you been?!?

:hug: :loveya:

[JohnKleeb]

14. Discovering myself and such

and Ive been back for a week.

[Misunderestimator]

19. I've been busy with work lately...

Maybe you've been posting in the evenings when I'm not on. I haven't seen you. Anyway, good to see you now.

[JohnKleeb]

20. I think thats likely the case

Since I have classes in the mornings and early afternoon.

[Richardo]

26. Nice one, Kleeb. One of my favorites

Nice to have you back! :thumbsup:

[JohnKleeb]

28. Thanks

its on this british invasion CD that my dad got, its very catchy isn't it?

[Richardo]

29. Of course the original did not have the 'fucking' part

We never would have heard that on the radio in the 60s.

[JohnKleeb]

30. Right

Song is so perfect for Fridays.
