"Big About It"

I bought a bathroom scale last night, and I already hate it. The numbers it is showing me are numbers I do not like. I’m 15 pounds overweight. In the grand scheme of things, that’s not a big deal, but it feels terribly tragic. It means I’ll need to eat less and exercise more. I can do that. It also means I’m getting older and staying in shape it not as easy as it once was. I have a birthday coming up in just over a month, and I’m not looking forward to it. I was 17 when I graduated from high school. I’ll be 51 in July. Three times as old as I was at graduation. Hard to believe! The first 17 years took me from birth through high school. The next 17 were my most musically productive. This past 17 have seen me floundering a bit, bouncing from music to IT to art back to music and now taking a stab at writing. I vow here and now to make the next 17 the best yet! Push up and push on!

Big About It

Fallout

Falling apart at the end of the show

When the company starts to go

The music starts to grow

You're expecting one last confrontation

I will be big about it

You'll see; I'm not what I seem

I will be big about it

Won't stoop so low

When you're looking for me I'll be on the next plateau

Tryout

Trying to tie the loose ends into one

The project has just begun

And it's far from being done

I doubt anyone in my position could be

More fair in dealing with this situation

I will be big about it

You'll see; I'm not what I seem

I will be big about it

High time to clean inventory

I will not fight about it

What for? It's just gonna bore me

Storing up the energy

Forming future plans

I will be big about it

You'll see; I'm not what I seem

I will be big about it

High time to clean inventory

I will not fight about it

What for?  It won't mean a thing

I will be big about it

Won't stoop so low

When you're looking for me I'll be on the next plateau
