***Lyrics:

Hey lady, you lady
cursing at your life
you’re a discontented mother
and a regimented wife
I `ve no doubt
you dream about the things you never do
but I wish someone had a talk to me like I wanna talk to you

Oh, I’ve been to Georgia and California and anywhere I could run
Took the hand of a preacher man
and we made love in the sun
But I ran out of places and friendly faces
Because I had to be free
I’ve been to paradise but I’ve never been to me…

Please lady please lady
don’t just walk away
Cause I have this need to tell you
why I’m all alone today
I can see so much of me
still living in your eyes
won’t you share a part
of a weary heart that has lived a million lives

Oh, I’ve been to Niece and the isle of Greece
when I sipped champagne on a yacht
I moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo
and showed them what I’ve got
I’ve been undressed by kings
and I’ve seen some things that a woman ain’t s’pose to see
I’ve been to paradise but I’ve never been to me…

Hey, you know what paradise is?
It’s a lie
a fantasy we created about people and places
as we like them to be
but you know what truth is?
it’s that little baby you’re holding
and it’s that man you fought with this morning
the same one you are gonna make love to tonight
that’s truth that’s love

Sometimes I’ve been to crying for unborn children
that might have made me complete
but I, I took the sweet life
I never knew I’d be bitter from the sweet
I spent my life exploring
the subtle whoring
that costs too much to be free
hey lady I’ve been to paradise
but I’ve never been to me…

I’ve been to paradise but I’ve never been to me…

When Do You Clean Your House?

Azwaj thinks that I’m weird in that I prefer to clean the apartment when he’s not at home. I don’t know why I do that but I know I feel good when I do it. I get so lazy when he’s around. Though I still vacuum the floor daily, I only mop the floor and do the laundry when he’s not at home or when he’s asleep. I feel good when he comes home or wakes up to a spic and span apartment and goes “Ah the house is so clean darling!” I know! I’m weird!

Anyone else does that?

However, I can’t help but think sometimes, wouldn’t it be nice if we have a nice maid that comes in daily like those hotels or vacation rentals unit have and I can come home instead and say the exact same thing?.. LOL!.. Here’s wishing….

Second Place Is Not Bad

I was googling for the word “ladyjava” today.. just for fun.. and also because I needed an ego booster. Don’t ask me why though.. I just do 🙂

Anyway, guess what! The search result on the whole first page was all ME ME ME. Talk about an ego booter… LOL! It was me at MBL. Me at Technorati. Me at Twitter and Me at Blog Catalog. Well, all except for the last one, that is, and I swear I don’t know who she is. It was a nickname for someone at a forum and she refers to herself as “Java, a silly girl from California USA, who enjoys the game Poxnora”. LOL! Definitely NOT me!

While checking out the link one at time, one question came to mind. How come this blog was on second place and where is my LadyJava’s Lounge? How come LJL was only mentioned on the second page when in actual fact, it has more traffic and hits then LLP? So I did another search using yahoo this time and although it’s not on the first place, at least it’s on the top three. This blog is listed as the top two. I’m really confused now!

Perhaps I should hire a SEO master like Boston SEO to come and explain this to me.

Anyway it’s kind of fun to see a whole page of ME..LOL.. Have you googled or yahoo yourself lately?

Cheerio…
