Crazy Sam’s Saturday 9: You're Beautiful (2005)
Every Saturday I take time off from written on serious topics to have some fun…
Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.
1) The first line is of this song is, "My life is brilliant." Using one word, describe your life.
Interesting.
2) This is about a chance encounter between strangers in a crowd, specifically the subway. What "crowded place" were you most recently in?
A bar last night for the NASW Meet & Greet
3) Near the very end of this song, James Blunt sings, "It's time to face the truth." Do you believe you face things head on? Or do you tend to deny or put off the unpleasant?
I face thing head on, I’m old enough to know that problems will not go away by themselves.
4) James Blunt went to an all-boys school. Some educators recommend single-sex classrooms because they maintain girls just naturally approach subjects like math and science differently than boys do. Do you agree?
Nope, separate but equal just doesn’t work.
5) Blunt put his father in charge of his finances. Income taxes are top of mind for many of us this time of year. Do you do your own taxes? Or do you go to an accountant or tax preparation service?
No, my taxes are complicated and you have to know what you are doing.
6) In 2005, the year this song was a hit, the sitcom How I Met Your Mother was also popular. Do you know how your parents met?
My mother had a “blind date” which wasn’t really a blind date.
7) 2005 is also the year Tom Cruise famously jumped on a sofa. Do you remember where he did this?
Nope.
8) 2005 was also the year YouTube really took off. What's the last video you watched?
Petula Clark Downtown. I posted it when I was going up to Hartford one night.
9) Random question ... Which of these high profile jobs would you enjoy more: head of General Motors, CEO of Apple or president of the New York Yankees?
General Motors, you get to drive any car that you want.

I think you're wise to realize your taxes are just too complicated to tackle on your own. No one can be good at everything, right?
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that 'separate but equal' doesn't work. It would be impossible to make things 100% equal among other issues with it.
ReplyDeleteHartford ain't the downtown that most cities have, for sure!
ReplyDeleteI didn't even think of the cars that would be available to me through GM.
ReplyDeleteFascinating, is how I would describe your life. Your informative blog has changed the way I see things.
ReplyDeleteSeparate but equal is always a con!
ReplyDeleteThat is a wonderful song and singer there,so thanks for the memory.
I seem to be the only one in favor of single sex ed, at least at higher levels.
