Losing my Ground

Though she is far better known for her overplayed songs such as Fergalicious, Glamorous, and London Bridge, Fergie (Stacy Ferguson) has got some much deeper lyrics within her CD.

I think I have listened to this song about fifteen times today.........


Don't know what day it is
What's going on?
Is this real?
Oh no, no, no, no, no

I woke up short of breath,
But I've still got a long day ahead of me
I don't know what day it is
But tell me 'cuz I gotta know who to be
Is that me up in the mirror?
'Cuz I thought it was somebody else
Well it's a realization,
When you find out you don't even wanna look at yourself

Where do I go?
What do I do?
Who do I turn to?
I'm losing my ground
Who am I now?
Where does it end?
How did it all begin?
I'm losing my ground

Well, hit my feet,
It's time to hit the streets
And get my life back together again
Well, this place is all a masquerade
So tell me where in line can I cut in?
Downtown wandering aimlessly around
Still don't know what I'm tryin' to find
Well you could flash all the pretty lights in front of me,
I still won't see the signs

Where do I go?
Who do I turn to?
I'm losing my ground
Who am I now?
Where does it end?
How did it all begin?
I'm losing my ground

What do I do?
Why do I do this to myself?
Don't wanna go back there

Conscience keeps more people awake than coffee.

I despise those nights where you wake up every two hours, or so. Your mind is filled with all the things you "should have," "could have," or "would have" done or said. Like at two o'clock in the morning you are actually going to be able to do anything productive to reach a state of resolution....

Still, you remain awake to contemplate the previous day or days, then soon find it is time to get up and begin another. I am yawning this morning, no more clear on life than I was last night, but I surprisingly still have a pleasant demeanor and that is really as much as I could hope for at the moment.

There is no pillow so soft as a clear conscience. ~French Proverb

I wish everyone restful, thoughtless sleep throughout their week!
Stay busy, get plenty of exercise, and don't drink too much. Then again, don't drink too little.

~Herman "Jackrabbit" Smith-Johannsen
