Another Plot Device

Lyin’ in my bed I hear the clock tick
And think of you
Caught up in circles confusion
Is nothing new
Flashback warm nights
Almost left behind
Suitcase of memories
Time after

Sometimes you picture me
I’m walking too far ahead
You’re calling to me I can’t hear
What you’ve said
Then you say go slow
I fall behind
The second hand unwinds

If you’re lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I’ll be waiting
Time after time

If you’re lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I’ll be waiting
Time after time

After my picture fades and darkness
Has turned to gray
Watching through windows
You’re wondering if I’m okay
Secrets stolen from deep inside
The drum beats out of time

If you’re lost you…

“You Know What I Need…

…When My Heart Bleeds…

…I Suffer From Greed…

…A Longing To Feed…

…On The MERCY IN YOU…”

… … …

I Was Actually Listening To The LIVE-Version Of “MERCY IN YOU” From The 1993 Album “SONGS OF FAITH AND DEVOTION (LIVE)” By DEPECHE MODE !!!

… … …

“…I Can’t Conceal…

…The Way I’m Healed…

…The Pleasure I Feel…

…When I Have To Deal…

…With The MERCY IN YOU…”

… … …

DEPECHE MODE‘s Studio–Version Of “MERCY IN YOU“ Is Also Rather Exceptional, But I Don’t Love It Quite As Much As The LIVE-Version. Still, The Album “SONGS OF FAITH AND DEVOTION” Remains A Personal Fave-Fave !!!

… … …

“…I Would Do It All Again…

…Lose My Way And Fall Again…

…Just So I Could Call Again…

…On The MERCY IN YOU. …”

Well, My Peeps…

…I Had The Ole MP3Player Churning-Out A Random Mix Of My Favorites When It Popped Onto This Little Number…

“MERCY IN YOU“

by DEPECHE MODE

…And I Noticed An Almost Immediate Change.

I Had Been Lolly-Gaggin’ About.

Just A Cruise-Mode Of A Walk.

Just A Quick Stretch Of The Legs, Ya Know?!

But Then…

“MERCY IN YOU“

…Started Playing.

And I Suppose You Could Say I Got A Little Into It.

All Of A Sudden, I Started Picking-Up-The-Pace.

“MERCY IN YOU“

…Is One Of My Favorite Jams…

…Yes…

…But It’s One I Hadn’t Heard In A Long While.

I Suppose My Player Had Been Holding Back With It.

Just Waiting Waiting Waiting For The Moment To Whip-It-Out-There.

Today, Said Moment Arrived.

Very Cool Beans, My Peeps.

I Don’t Know Why It Kicked Me Into A Higher Gear…

…But It Did.

And I Ain’t Gonna Scoff At That.

I’ll Take Motivation Any Way I Can Get It.

Today, It Was This Song.

Neato, Eh!?!

SURE IS!!!

“MERCY IN YOU“

…Is A Rather Catchy Little Number, Fo SHO.

I Ended-Up Listening To It THREE (3) TIMES During My Walk-About.

Why Not, Eh!?!

Why Not, Indeed!!!

😀

Hope Y’all Are Having A Decent Day.

It’s FRIDAY, So That’s VERY Neato!!!

I’m Sure Y’all Are Ready For The Weekend.

Well…

…Those Of You Who Aren’t Working, That Is.

But I Will Be.

I’ll Be Right Here.

Plugging Away.

Doin’ My Thang.

Aren’t You Just Lucky!?!

YOU BETCHA!!!

😉

So I Ran Across A Quotation That Got Me Thinkin’…

Posted by youjivinmeturkey on

…Which Is Always A Highly DANGEROUS Situation.

😉

Trust Me.

Ask My Family/Friends.

They’ll Tell Ya.

"O.M.G.! You Let Bradley THINK!?! DAMMIT, This Ain't Gonna Be Good!"

Anyway…

…The Quotation That Piqued My Interest Was…

*** *** *** *** *** ** * ***

“In Preparing For Battle, I Have Always Found That PLANS Are USELESS…

…But PLANNING Is INDISPENSABLE.”

—DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER

(Our 34TH PRESIDENT Of The UNITED STATES Of AMERICA)

*** *** *** *** *** *** ***

Now, How True A Statement Is That?!

EXACTLY.

Hit’s It Right On The Head, Doesn’t It!?

And No, I Do Not Mean The Battle Part…

…But The “PLANS” Vs “PLANNING” Portion.

I Am Absolutely HORRID When It Comes To The Fulfillment Of “PLANS” In Almost Any Way You Look At It.

The “PLANNING” Portion Is What I’m Good At.

I Think…

…I Plot…

…I Piddle…

…And I Try To Set Myself Up To Have The Best Day Possible…

…Each And Every Day.

Does “PLANNING” Turn Into “PLANS” At Some Point?!

SURE IT DOES.

Can’t Deny It, So I Simply Shant.

BUT…

…What About The Fulfillment Portion?!

Honestly…

…It’s A Craps-Shoot.

The Odds Are In Favor Of Non-Fulfillment, However.

Why?!

Hell, I Dunno.

I Suppose I’m Just Bad At Keeping The Plans I’ve Made.

Always Thinking About Things…

…But Never Really Doing Any Of The Things I Thought About Doing.

😕

Sooo…

…What To Do, What To Do?!

Beats Me.

I’ve Been Planning To Go On A Walk, All Morning.

Have I Gone, Yet?!

Nope.

Why?!

I Dunno.

It’s Kinda Yucky Outside.

Could I Easily Put On A Jacket And A Hat To Keep The Rain’ish Conditions At Bay?!

Yeah…

…Probably.

ALRIGHT…

…Yeah…

…Yeah I Could.

I Easily Could.

I Could Make It Happen.

But I Haven’t.

😦

I Planned.

I Made A Solid Plan From Said Planning.

But That Remains To Be As Far As I’ve Gone With It.

And That’s Just A Minor Example.

I’m VERY Sure I’ve Made A Million-Plus Plans In My Time That Have Totally Gone Unfulfilled.

My Bad.

WHATEVER.

It Happens.

That’s Just Life.

Always Planning…

…Rarely Executing The Planned Plan.

Sheesh.

Does That Take-Down Some Of My Personal “Cool-Points” At All?!

Maybe.

Do I Care?

Maybe.

Does It Bother Me?

Maybe.

Should I Just Shut-The-Hell-Up And Go For My Walk?!

Maybe.

So If That’s All A “Maybe”…

…What’s The Solid?

What’s The Part I’ve Concluded With Measured Success?

The Planning.

Yep.

And I Found It Totally INDISPENSABLE, Just Like “IKE” Said.

Coincidence?

Nah.

Careful Planning?

TOTALLY!!!
