What A Fool Believes Lyrics by Michael McDonald...

What A Fool Believes Lyrics

by

Michael McDonald

He came from somewhere back in her long ago
The sentimental fool don't see, trying hard to recreate what had yet to be created

Once in her life, she musters a smile for his nostalgic tale
Never coming near what he wanted to say
Only to realize...It never really was...
She, had a place in his life...
He, never made her think twice...
As he rises to her apology, anybody else would surely know...
He's watching her go...

What a fool believes, he sees
No wise man has the power...to reason away...
What seems...to be...is always better than nothing
And nothing at all...keeps sending him, somewhere back in her long ago
Where he can still believe there's a place in her life, someday, somewhere–she will return
She had a place in his life
He...never made her think twice
As he rises to her apology, anybody else would surely know
He's watching her go...

But what a fool believes–he sees
No wise man has the power...to reason away...
What seems to be...is always better than nothing...
There's nothing at all...
But what a fool believes, he sees...

No wise man has the power...to reason away...

What seems to be...is always better than nothing

There's nothing at all...

Anybody can stop anything for anybody if they want to, the question is whether they want to or not? –Morris Stark

If you never expect anything you'll never be disappointed. –Dora Jane

Basis Of Friendship

Basis Of Friendship

People base their friendships with people based upon what they think they can get out of them. Notice, the emphasis is on the word, think. So it is not what they get out of it–it is what they get out of it.

Quid pro quo.

Hemingway on action....

"Never mistake motion for action." –Earnest Hemingway

Oh, my god!!! I am like sho buzay!!! I can't believe how buzay I am!!! Guiness Book of world records should give me an award for being sho buzay!!!

Busy is such a subjective term. When people tell me how busy the have been, I roll me eyes. C'mon!!! Everybody thinks their busy!!! If you tell me how busy you have been, basically you are telling me that you are not very effective with time management and you are overwhelmed with life.

Telling somebody you have been so busy is so condescending because it suggests your time is more valuable than theirs.

When People Complain or Compliment...

When People Complain or Compliment

My whole life, I have listened carefully when people complain or compliment things. I think this is how I benefit from carefully listening to others.

Quote of the Day...

I guess I am just lying to myself, it's just do I know I am!?! –Mick Jagger.

Out of my mind as subtitle for Jake's Personal Blog? Double entendre meaning getting things out of my mind, like GTD's getting things out of your mind, into a trusted system. Also meaning "Out Of My Mind" like crazy.

Kind and Happy...

What Are You Looking For?

The only thing you should look for in a friend or significant other, is a kind and happy soul. Looks fade, money gets spent, but I realize as I get older the only thing that really matters in yourself and others is your disposition or attitude. So basically what I want in a woman and with friends are people who are fundamentally optimistic and nice, or just have a sincere and upbeat attitude.

You Are Just A Big Mouse!!!

You Are Just A Big Mouse!!!

Proffesional Babysitter...

Sad, but True

A friend of mine once complained that although he was a successful business man in many ways, that in reality he was a professional babysitter. He argued that most people he deals with are so lazy and incompetent that he has to literally babysit them.

Unfortunately that has been my experience as well. It is amazing to me how lazy some people can be!!!! So next time when somebody asks me what I do for living, I am going to respond that I am a Professional Babysitter!!!

The other thing that blows my mind is how lazy people are when it comes to doing or trying anything new!?! Whatever happened to Yankee ingenuity!?!

We Are Animals...

The older I get, the more I tend to look at life like a scientist who is simply observing. It is amazing how anthropocentric human beings have become. We somehow seem to have forgotten we are mammals or animals–but then again, perhaps we never knew to begin with?

Welcome to my personal blog.

Welcome to my personal blog. I seem to blog a lot, but I have never had a place to share my personal thoughts and ideas, so I decided to start a personal blog. I have thought about writing books, but it seems like such a huge undertaking, and not very "real time" so I thought I would start this blog to share all me ideas and thoughts. Enjoy...
