“We Are Going To Be Friends” – Dedication

… this post is dedicated to finding ourselves in others, finding others without themselves, and knowing that we need to help others rid themselves of their ‘outdated clothes’ if we are going to be true friends…

“We Are Going To Be Friends” – We’re Born

… I truly enjoy writing these blog posts …

… in one way, shape, or another …

… I have been writing my whole life …

… lyrics for a band …

… poems for whatever poems are for …

… professional articles …

… shopping lists …

… but these blog posts are my favorite …

… as music, literature, and art

… are my folly and mania …

… I tend to site these in support of legal and life …

… all to be continued …

“We Are Going To Be Friends” – We Grow Up

… and then we grow up …

… in the blink of an eye …

… and at the speed of light …

… and we are too busy to notice …

… and in my line of work …

… I am privy to all of this …

… I see those who are still stuck …

… I wonder why they are …

… we have all been to hell and back …

… and we are all …

… “Like A Monster Back From Hell” …

… at times …

“We Are Going To Be Friends” – Most Stay In The Past

… its very important that that we move on …

… we can’t let the past continue to be the present …

… but I encounter many locked in the past …

… they have the same outfits …

… these outfits don’t fit them anymore …

… I am forced to conclude …

… that they find comfort in this …

… I am also forced to conclude that …

… they may be buried in those outfits …

“We Are Going To Be Friends” – The White Stripes …

Fall is here, hear the yell
Back to school, ring the bell
Brand new shoes, walking blues
Climb the fence, books and pens
I can tell that we are gonna be friends
I can tell that we are gonna be friends

Walk with me, Suzy Lee
Through the park and by the tree
We will rest upon the ground
And look at all the bugs we found
Safely walk to school without a sound
Safely walk to school without a sound

Here we are, no one else
We walked to school all by ourselves
There’s dirt on our uniforms
From chasing all the ants and worms
We clean up and now it’s time to learn
We clean up and now it’s time to learn

Numbers, letters, learn to spell
Nouns, and books, and show and tell
Playtime we will throw the ball
Back to class, through the hall
Teacher marks our height against the wall
Teacher marks our height against the wall

We don’t notice any time pass
We don’t notice anything
We sit side by side in every class
Teacher thinks that I sound funny
But she likes the way you sing

Tonight I’ll dream while I’m in bed
When silly thoughts go through my head
About the bugs and alphabet
And when I wake tomorrow I’ll bet
That you and I will walk together again
I can tell that we are gonna be friends
Yes I can tell that we are gonna be friends.

… so – as I have thrown away my outdated outfits …

… I will continue not to notice any time pass …
