"Margaritaville" - from Margaritagirrl.....

Margaritaville............................

Nibblin' on sponge cake
Watchin' the sun bake
All of those tourists covered with oil
Strummin' my six-string
On my front porch swing
Smell those steaks - they're beginnin' to broil
Chorus:
Wastin' away again in Margaritaville
Searching for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there's a man to blame
But I know it's nobody's fault

I don't know the reason
I stayed here all season
Nothin' to show but this new pair of shoes
How it got here I haven't any clues
Chorus:
Wastin' away again in Margaritaville
Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there's a man to blame
Now I think
Hell, it could be my fault

I blew out my flip-flop
Stepped on a pop-top
Cut my heel had to cruise on back home
But there's booze in the blender
And soon it will render
That frozen concoction that helps me hang on


Wastin' away again in Margaritaville
Searching for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there's a man to blame
But I know.... it's my own damn fault
Yes and some people claim that there's a man to blame
And I know it's my own damn fault......
......and does anyone out there know who recorded this song?

Just discovered your blog.
Feels as though I've tumbled into a familiar world.
I too grew up in Willy and live in BP now.
Your writing is awesome.
Hope to be one of your companions on this roller-coaster of blooging.

To Hoezentragerin from Margaritagirrl
I'm glad that you like my writing and I look forwad to hearing from you again, as you learn more about me.
Where in Willy did you grow up? Let's compare notes..........Penn Street for my "happy" (yeah sure) memories.
What type of suspenders do you favor, Mr. Hoesentragerin?

Not that far away. Hewes St.....
Sorry for the disappointment, but I'm a Mrs. Trousers as in tragerIN.
I wear the pants.
Silly handle I admit, but when I first discovered this fascinating world about a year and half ago, I didn't realize how "real" it truly is.
By now I'm kind of (in)famous and the name has sort of stuck.

Geez.........I wonder who you are, you grew up one block away from me. Give me a clue as to how old you are....which part of my writing makes you feel familiar?
I love to get feedback, so tht I can see what's out there, and the feel of the people who log on.

I'm in my late 20s. (man!)


The feeling of being an individual and not a puppet.
Of not quite fitting the mold.
Not being just another product of mass production.

M. Girl,

Looking forward to your blog.

HT,

The first moment I thought it’s you writing this blog. I guess I was wrong.

to Also a Chusid
What do you mean when you say "the first moment I thought it was you writing this blog, but I guess I'm wrong?" Who did you think I was?
Anyone in particular?

I was talking to hoezentragerin.

AAC,
Yeh it could have been me, a couple of years ago, that is.
I've been there, done that too, but in a very atypical kind of way.
I doubt girl at the age of 16 strolled down Lee Ave with a Magen David on her chest to spite everyone...
I don't think she was infatuated with chabad either.
Did she argue theology with Messianic missionaries?
I doubt it.

I'm "all grown up" today but still have my struggles, questions, and challenges.
Your "issues" don't go away with age, they grow with you, transform you, and hopefully you transform them too.
So in a way you're right.
This could have been my blog.
Once a rebel, always a rebel.
But a rebel with a different cause.

Funny, but you forgot the Lost Verse...

Old men in tank tops cruising the gift shops
Checking out the chiquitas down by the shore
They dream about weight loss, wish they could be their own boss
Those three day vacations become such a bore

By the way, it's BuffetT. All you'll get at a buffet is a Cheeseburger in Paradise..
"I like mine with lettuce and tomato.. Heinz 57 and French fried potatoes.. Big kosher pickle and a cold draft beer...."

Sorry.. got a little carried away :)

Fins up!
