Well, I walk into the room
Passing out hundred dollar bills
And it kills and it thrills like the horns on my Silverado grill
And I buy the bar a double round of crown
And everybody's getting down
An' this town ain't never gonna be the same.
Cause I saddle up my horse
and I ride into the city
I make a lot of noise
Cause the girls
They are so pretty
Riding up and down Broadway
on my old stud Leroy
And the girls say
Save a horse, ride a cowboy.
Everybody says
Save a horse, Ride a cowboy
Well I don't give a dang about nothing
I'm singing and Bling- Blanging
While the girls are drinking
Long necks down!
And I wouldn't trade ol' Leroy
or my Chevrolet for your Escalade
Or your freak parade
I'm the only John Wayne left in this town
And I saddle up my horse
and I ride into the city
I make a lot of noise
Cause the girls
They are so pretty
Riding up and down Broadway
on my old stud Leroy
And the girls say
Save a horse, ride a cowboy.
Everybody says
Save a horse, Ride a cowboy
I'm a thorough-bred
that's what she said
in the back of my truck bed
As I was gettin' buzzed on suds
Out on some back country road.
We where flying high
Fining, whine, having ourselves a big and rich time
And I was going, just about as far as she'd let me go.
But her evaluation
of my cowboy reputation
Had me begging for salvation
all night long
So I took her out giggin frogs
Introduced her to my old bird dog
And sang her every Willie Nelson song I could think of
And we made love
And I saddled up my horse
and I ride into the city
I make a lot of noise
Cause the girls
They are so pretty
Riding up and down Broadway
on my old stud Leroy
And the girls say
Save a horse, ride a cowboy.
Everybody says
Save a horse, Ride a cowboy
What? What?
Save A Horse Ride A Cowboy
Everybody says
Save a Horse Ride a cowboy.

Album : Horse of a Different Color
Gotta say, I LOVE this song!

What in the Hell?!
An open letter to the woman in my department who should butt out of things that aren't her concern:
I cannot believe that you actually sent a complaint to KP's supervisor telling him that she uses "our" bathroom and spends 10-15 minutes in there every time she goes! I cannot believe you used the phrase, "We shudder to think what she does in there during that time period." I cannot believe that you stood in the hall and timed her visits! I cannot believe that you sent this complaint despite being repeatedly told that 1-it was none of your business, 2-it is not "our" bathroom--it is a common area bathroom, 3-you ARE NOT the bathroom monitor. I cannot believe that you sent this email complaint from a corporate entity mailbox, thus implicating our entire department in your offensive and stupid behavior.
I am ever so thankful that her supervisor, answered with this, copied to her supervisor's supervisor:
"You are making some assumptions about "things" that I need to clarify.
First of all, KP has a medical condition that requires privacy that that bathroom apparently provides to her and I am not going to monitor her time there as a result.
Secondly, I did not know that there was bathroom segregation in this building nor have I seen the memo from management outlining which bathroom departments are approved to use.
While I somewhat understand your frustration, I am appalled at this email and will be forwarding this to appropriate people in your group to discuss this "situation" with the respect and discretion it deserves. "
I too am appalled and whilst delivering the message to the offending employee's supervisor, put in my two cents worth.
Later I got this email from the offending employee:
"I apoligize for the complaint e-mail. It was not meant to be offensive in any way. "
Then how did you mean it? Because I was seriously offended by not just the email, but where and how you sent it. I think we all know that Caoimhe has an issue with stepping up and standing up for your beliefs...if you have something to say then say it, dammit! And say it with your name attached! And while I'm furious, upset, livid about this, I am not pissed off. Which is very lucky for her...

Dangerous Assumptions
The other night on "The Amazing Race" Colin nearly got himself arrested. While Christie was trying to calm him down she made an interesting comment. It basically said he should stop making [the persecution he felt] up in his head. The whole situation was blown out of proportion because he made it up in his head.
We all do that from time to time, don't we? We get bits and pieces of information, make assumptions based on that incomplete information and form a conclusion that generally doesn't resemble the truth. We infer things from what is said, what is written, that actually aren't there and pretty soon our perception of the situation is out of control. Sometimes those assumptions and reactions are based on anger, sometimes on fear, sometimes they play into our ego or our biases, but rarely are they based on rational thought. So, I would encourage all out there who have jumped to conclusions, made assumptions about something in your life to go back to the actual facts (the things you absolutely know are true) without inference, without assumption, and figure out how much of the situation you made up in your head.
You may find out you wasted a lot of time, energy, perhaps money or your reputation on something that was largely the product of your imagination.

A Comment
Dude, I can't believe you sent a girl to fight your battle. That was weak, even for you. Especially considering I told you it was over a month ago.

Book Review
Since finishing the wonderful My Sister's Keeper (thanks again Erin and Jen), I've finished:
The Well of Lost Plots
It was a really good book, but definitely took some getting used to. I love the way Jasper Fforde created a whole world where literature is as real as reality.
Dogs of Babel by Carolyn Parkhurst
Please read this book! It is about the journey of a grieving husband trying to come to grips with the sudden death of his wife. She fell from an apple tree in their backyard...the only witness is their dog, Lorelei. Paul embarks on a journey to teach Lorelei to talk, to reveal all her knowledge, all her secrets of his wife and the last day of her life. Very touching. The answers are always there, we need but to recognize them.
Also, "one girl" is looking for some book suggestions. If you've read any great books lately head over and give her the benefit of your wisdom. Expand her horizons. :-)
