Coming to work this morning I was listening to Prince. Greatest hits 1.

It's pretty good. I haven't heard it for a while. So here I am at work.... Life can be so sadistic at times. Football sucked yesterday. Two sorry teams going at it. Jets and Skins..... can't wait till Dolphins start. I was feeling a little ill but I came to work anyway. SO weekend is almost here. Why am I not so excited as I usually am? cause even weekends are the same these days. Kim goes to Red, Al draws or meets someone, Hoon finds a way to do nothing, I try to stay home but I end up going to Bible study. Blah Blah Blah and before you know it, it's Sunday night and I am sitting at home dreading the next day. I only dread it cause right now work is not fun for me. It honestly was fun before. What the heck is wrong with routines. Why can'ty I be different from others and enjoy routines. You hear it everyday. Some one says "I need a change" or "i need a vacation". I thought i would never say these things. But I do. I say them at least every other day. So going back to Prince...... I was listening to "When Doves Cry" And the whole song is about sadistic behavior of everyday people in a bad relationship.

How can U just leave me standing
Alone in a world that's so cold? (So cold)
Maybe I'm just 2 demanding
Maybe I'm just like my father - 2 bold
Maybe U're just like my mother
She's never satisfied (She's never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other?
This is what it sounds like when doves cry


This is basically a song about a couple who got along great once and now they don't. Yikes. Is this what I have to look forward to in the future. Very disapointing....

now how does all this relate?

here it is. Being at work is like a marriage. In the beginning you are very excited to be here and you are motivated to do well. Well eventually, you get tired of work and you try to hold on to the last motivation you have left. Getting paid. but when that is not regular anymore, you are in a bad marriage. I wouldn't know, but I guess its like you are fighting with the spouse and you are not even having sex anymore.

The song is much more Philosophical than you think. I guess that is why he was once the Artist formerly known as Prince.
