Bradley Hathaway No Worries I'm Going To
Wait Wait Wait Wait a minute
Hold up
STOP
...The press
I woke up today without that 5 million pound boulder of
stress on my chest and now I feel blessed and can rest.
Oh! to rest these weary extremities that have been
inflicted with infirmities unseen or experienced by
them before
So tell me, what does the future have in store?
I don't know
I'm just going to let today be today, I'm going to wake
up this morning with a smile on my face, look in the
mirror brush my teeth and not wrack my brain wondering
weather shes going to call me or not because when a
girl says "lets just be friends," what she really means
is "I'm never going to talk to you again."
Accept it
Move on
I just did
And after that I'm going to put on my play clothes, go
in the front yard and climb that pecan tree like I did
last week, but this time I'm not going to get halfway
up it and start debating weather morality is...
A social adaptation
A product of Evolution
Or put there, by God
I'm just going to climb the thing and have fun like I
did when I was a kid
And after that I'm going to go to vertebrate zoology
class and listen to my boring lifeless instructer talk
about how there are 50 different species of minnow in
Arkansas alone.
But I'll smile
Nod
SHOW INTEREST
Act interested
(because that really is interesting if you think about
it. Think about it)
And then after that I'll go home and have lunch. The
same ol' boring lunch again! Two more fricken' frozen
monterey jack bean and cheese burritos with a glass of
distilled water and an Orange. But I'll give thanks
that I do have food to eat because so many peple don't
And after that Ill go to work and paint But I'm not
going to paint that boring eggshell white on that old
ladys wall like she requested...no, I'm not going to do
it. I'm going to pretend I'm a juvenile Leonardo Da
Vinci and paint a stick figure masterpiece of a young
couple frolicking in a field of flowerswith little
butterflies and gophers popping up here and there. (I'm
sure the old lady will appreciate it later in life)
And after that, I'm going to have dinner with my Paw
Paw and when he cries to me about how his arthritis is
bad his own daughter rejects him he's sad, I'll put my
arm around himand listen watch his old weary eyes
glisten as he experiences my love for him.
And after that I'll go home, sit on the floor and start
singing songs to the one that gave me this joy that I'm
feeling, but it's more then just some fleeting feeling,
it's eternal truth in which I am reeling.
And then at night I lay my head to rest without the
slightest bit of fright or fret knowing I made the day
the best I could
And that God truly is good
