I was sitting at my desk during lunch today, trying to connect life as I left it off last Wednesday when I flew to Karachi, and today. I mean work life – even though I only missed two days at work, a lot can change in two days when things are going at this pace. I had my iPod plugged into my ears, and a colleague walks up to my desk and:

Colleague: “What are you listening to?”
Me: “Bennett.”
Him (confused)
Me: “Tony Bennett… nothing to do with Heroes man.”
Colleague: “Oh. *pause* Heroes?”

You get my point? I’m surrounded by people who don’t listen to music, who don’t watch TC shows, who don’t think Kate Beckinsale is hot, and so on and so forth. What the!!

Tony Bennett – Once Upon a Time

Once upon a time a girl with moonlight in her eyes
Put her hand in mine and said she loved me so
But that was once upon a time, very long ago

Once upon a time we sat beneath a willow tree
Counting all the stars and waiting for the dawn
But that was once upon a time, now the tree is gone

How the breeze ruffled up her hair
How we always laughed as though tomorrow wasn’t there
We were young and didn’t have a care
Where did it go?

Once upon a time the world was sweeter than we knew
Everything was ours, how happy we were then
But somehow once upon a time never comes again
