Monster Inside Me

Sometimes we want to be loved and be in love, and maybe that's why I feel so horrible around the holidays. I can't but to let the bile rise inside my throat and yet ...

There's a part of me that would remind me I AM a human being, and can be better than my most base desires and my cruel intentions that I keep housed inside my black heart.

Somtimes we all feel like monsters, and sometimes inside ourselves the monster dwells.

But, some people actually love the monster inside you.

Inside me.

I recently found a journal I haven't written in since 2004. I am carrying it & locking it in my briefcase so I can have something to scribble my fears in when there's a quiet moment. I had to keep a teaching journal and to explain what occurred on a daily basis for my last education classes.

Like my experiences it's shown me I'm not crazy about being a teacher in Texas, nor about teaching to the standarized test established for the state.

Fuck that - I need to be free & joyful.

And creative ... very creative.

Okay, enough for today.

Blessings,




Julian


YOU AND ME
(Alice Cooper/Dick Wagner)
ALICE COOPER - 1977


When I got home from work
I wanna wrap myself around you
I wanna take you and squeeze you
'till the passion starts to rise.

I wanna take you to heaven
that would make my day complete
but you and me ain't movie stars
what we are is what we are
we share a bed some lovin' and t.v. yeah.

That's enough for a workin' man
what I am is what I am
and I tell you babe
well that's enough for me.

Sometimes when you're asleep and
I'm just starin' at the ceiling
I wanna reach out and touch you
but you just go on dreamin'.

If I could take you to heaven
that would make my day complete
but you and me ain't movie stars
what we are is what we are
and I tell you babe
well that's enough for me.

You and me ain't no superstars
what we are is what we are
we share a bed some popcorn and t.v. yeah.

And that's enough for a workin' man
what I am is what I am
and I tell you babe
well that's enough for me.

When I got home from work
I wanna wrap myself around you
I like to hold you and squeeze you
'till the passion starts to rise.

I wanna take you to heaven
that would make my day complete ...
