30 Days of Truth--Day 17

Day 17: A book you’ve read that changed your views on something.

Hmm. This is an extremely hard question. I love reading. A lot. I can't tell you how many books I've read, because honestly I don't really know. I would say well into the thousands, but I couldn't be sure. Of course, aside from religious books, there are many that I would say changed my views on things. The most recent would be The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho.

This book is...for lack of a better word--AMAZING! It talks about fulfilling your dreams and going to your limits to find out who you are. One of my favorite quotes from it is: "When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it."

Truly awesome. Go read it...NOW! ;)

Today was church. It was so freaking awesome! My day started out badly, but it ended up AMAZING!!! I love to go to church. My favorite part is singing. I love to sing in church. It makes me feel like I am speaking directly to the heavens. :)

Also today, got to talk to my roomie for a while AND I went to my friend, Cherie's place and hung out. :)

The lyrics for today are inspired by a conversation I had today with a friend. Have a great Sunday!!!

Hair
from the musical Hair

She asks me why
I'm just a hairy guy
I'm hairy noon and night
Hair that's a fright
I'm hairy high and low
Don't ask me why
Don't know
It's not for lack of break
Like the Grateful Dead
Darling

Gimme head with hair
Long beautiful hair
Shining, gleaming,
Streaming, flaxen, waxen

Give me down to there hair
Shoulder length or longer
Here baby, there mama
Everywhere daddy daddy

Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
Flow it, show it
Long as God can grow it
My hair

Let it fly in the breeze
And get caught in the trees
Give a home to the fleas in my hair
A home for fleas
A hive for bees
A nest for birds
There ain't no words
For the beauty, the splendor, the wonder
Of my...

Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
Flow it, show it
Long as God can grow it
My hair

I want it long, straight, curly, fuzzy
Snaggy, shaggy, ratty, matty
Oily, greasy, fleecy
Shining, gleaming, streaming
Flaxen, waxen
Knotted, polka-dotted
Twisted, beaded, braided
Powdered, flowered, and confettied
Bangled, tangled, spangled, and spaghettied!

Oh say can you see
My eyes if you can
Then my hair's too short

Down to here
Down to there
Down to where
It stops by itself

They'll be ga ga at the go go
When they see me in my toga
My toga made of blond
Brilliantined
Biblical hair

My hair like Jesus wore it
Hallelujah I adore it
Hallelujah Mary loved her son
Why don't my mother love me?

Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
Flow it, show it
Long as God can grow it
My hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
Flow it, show it
Long as God can grow it
My hair
