Never Forget

Fine. I'm a copycat.

I saw a woman in the elevator this morning wearing the cutest shoes.



Hers were green, but otherwise identical. Another woman asked her where she got them, and she said, "They're John Fluevog." She also mentioned that they are extremely comfortable -- always a bonus for me, what with my poor, RA-beleaguered feet. I've always been an admirer of Fluevog's funky little shoes, but have never bought a pair for myself.

But I couldn't resist going online and looking for these shoes. Then I saw the brown (excuse me, Russet) ones. I've been looking for a great brown heel for ages, and these are perfect, so I ordered myself a pair. Is that wrong? I figure as long as I never run into either of those women while I'm actually wearing my Fluevogs, it's all good.

John Mayer -- New Deep

I'm so alive
I'm so enlightened
I can barely survive
A night in my mind
So I've got a plan
I'm gonna find out just how boring I am
And have a good time

Cause ever since I tried
Trying not to find
Every little meaning in my life
It's been fine
I've been cool
With my new golden rule

Numb is the new deep
Done with the old me
Talk is the same cheap it's been

Is there a God?
Why is he waiting?
Don't you think of it odd
When he knows my address?
And look at the stars
Don't it remind you just how feeble we are?
Well it used to, I guess

Cause ever since I tried
Trying not to find
Every little meaning in my life
It's been fine
I've been cool
With my new golden rule

Numb is the new deep
Done with the old me
Talk is the same cheap it's been

I'm a new man
I wear a new cologne and
You wouldn't know me if your eyes were closed
I know what you'll say
'This won't last longer than the rest of the day'
But you're wrong this time
You're wrong

Numb is the new deep
Done with the old me
I'm over the analyzing
Tonight

Stop trying to figure it out
It will only bring you down
You know, I used to be the back porch poet with my book of rhymes
Always open knowing all the time I'm probably
Never gonna find the perfect rhyme
For 'heavier things'
