Stuck in my head

I've been listening to this song a lot lately, I feel like it speaks to me right now (how corny is that?)
It's from Dave Mathew's Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King:


I saw a man on the side of the road 
with a sign that read 'will work for food' 
Tried to look busy, 'til the light turned green 

I saw a bear on TV and his friends were all drowning 
cause their homes were turning to water 

A strange, kinda sad, big old bear 
surely would happily eat me 
he'd tear me to pieces that bear 

Wake up sleepy head 
I think the suns a little brighter today 
Smile and watch the icicles melt away and see the water rising... 
Summers here to stay, and all those summer games will last forever 
Go down to the shore, kick off your shoes, dive in the empty ocean. 

Tell me everything will be OK if I just stay on my knees and keep praying
believing in something
Tell me everything is all taken care of by those qualified to take care of it all.

Wake up sleepy head
I think the suns a little brighter today 

Smile and watch the icicles melt away and see the waters rising 
Summers here to stay, and that sweet summer breeze will blow forever 
Go down to the shore, kick off your shoes, dive in the empty ocean 

One day, do you think we'll wake up in a world on it's way to getting better? 
and if so can you tell me 
how? 

I have been thinking that lately the blood is increasing 
the tourniquets not keeping hold in spite of our twisting 
though we would like to believe we are 
we are not in control 
though we would love to believe 

Wake up sleepy head 
I think the suns a little brighter today 
Smile and watch the icicles melt away and see the water rising... 
Summers here to stay, and those sweet summer girls will dance forever 
Go down to the shore, kick off your shoes, dive in the empty ocean.

I'd post this song on my playlist but I can't find it on the Project Playlist website.
I know I've been kinda quiet lately, just wanting to kinda take a break from it all, hard to when I have a doctor's appointment every other day. But I will post an update soon. Right now on our agenda is my double mastectomy scheduled for the 20th.

My current obsession

Raising Cain, The Emotional Lives of Boys. Read it, just do it. It's only 258 pages long and it will change how you view and interact with boys. If you have a boy in your life, whether you're a parent, teacher, mentor or friend, you need to read this.
"...But as their manuscript progressed, Kindlon and Thompson realized a simple "how-to" would not do. "In the end," they write, "we found that the best advice we had to offer was simply to understand boys as they truly are ­ rather than as they appear or as we wish them to be. Our deepest wish is to pull aside the curtain boys so tenaciously draw around themselves and offer you a look inside their hearts and minds. If we succeed, we hope that you will see more clearly the ways in which our culture conspires to limit and undermine their emotional lives. We hope you will understand boys better, and above all, we hope you will enjoy them more"
