And It Keeps Getting Meaner: Mean Old World By T-Bone Walker


Just got back from work today and boy am I glad it's Friday.  Another stressful week has past and once again I feel drained.  It's another reminder of just how hard and mean this world is.  As I try to get some rest I wonder if anything really good is going to happen.  All I know is that the world is a mean place that's getting meaner.  That's why I'm using T-Bone Walker's song "Mean Old World" for this post.

So far, if there's anything that's been happening around here it's all bad and plenty of it.  Every time I'm starting to feel good, something happens that takes that away from me.  This week proves no different as I had trouble sleeping not only from the heat but also from problems that that give me no peace awake or asleep.  The good side from being tired is that it may get me sleepy enough to put my mind at ease.  Waking up the next day is another story as I face what this mean world has to offer.

Despite being down, I don't take for granted that there have been some good things that have happened.  This things have helped eased some things that should have been resolved a long time ago.  I guess it's a sign that other things will be resolved eventually as well. Till then, I'll just keep doing what I have to do.  It's the only to keep with this mean old world.

Mondays Always Brings A Storm: Call It Stormy Mondays By T-Bone Walker


Thank goodness, it's finally Friday.  It's been a hectic week as a lot of assignments and deadlines that kept all  of us on our feet.  It feels good that the weekend is just around the corner.  Still, I just hope I get enough rest  because after that it's Monday and we always start things with a storm.  Thinking about what next week will bring reminds me of the song "Call It Stormy Monday" by T-Bone Walker.

It always starts with Mondays as you get overwhelmed with the workload.  As you start working, more comes in as the days pass.  Even as you finish, more comes in but that's your job and you have to get done.  Even when Friday has arrived, there's some that will come out of the blue and before you know it, work to beat the clock to get it done.  When you get home, you slump on your bed as the week has drained you from all that work as well whatever unpleasant surprise that pops up unexpectedly.

So you get as much rest and relaxation over the weekend.  You squeeze it in when some chores need to be done.  Hopefully, by the time Monday rolls in, you'll be rested enough to get back to the grind.  Still be ready to expect the unexpected.  You'll what kind of storm Monday will bring but one thing's for sure, it's going to be a handful.
