Sunday Post #486


Wow- what a week. Every night I just get home, want to read, and sleep. Not blog. and honestly it's been nice not to have to worry about that.  

Last week's lyric was popular- there were several guesses that were on and some people even looked it up! Here it is.  


This week - can anyone place the song?     

It's a song about desperation. Every now and then we do get desperate. 

Oh and I got this. 




   Song of the week

    It is nice to take a break and regroup sometimes. I still like videos and music you come up with. Good as a remedy for mundane life

    There are days when all I want to do is read and sleep, too. Have a good, relaxing weekend, Greg! :D

    Yep, sometimes blogging becomes a chore instead of a fun hobby and that is the perfect time to step away. That's what I tell everyone but do I listen to my own advice? Ha! and again I say Ha!
    I probably should though ;-)

    Hope you have a relaxing weekend.

    I know this bad too. Is this a "deep cut"? I didn't recognize it.

    I get tired of blogging sometimes and I'm retired. I can't imagine doing it and a job too. I love the little character guy.

    Oh, I'm glad you are doing OK. And getting in some reading. Hopefully, your weather has been good too. Still, I have had enough snow to last me..and I know it hasn't been that bad. Hope you have a good weekend. Eat something yummy ❤️

    Reading and sleeping are the best! I hope to do a lot of both this weekend.

    I take it work is particularly taxing right now? I can so relate to your only wanting to read and sleep (though I feel guilty when I don't review LOL). I hope you get some respite!

    Sometimes a break from blogging is necessary, especially when you're exhausted. It's nice to put everything else out of your mind.

    It's always nice not to worry about something, anything.

    I don't know either song. Who's that angry guy? He-man? Tarzan? George from George of the jungle? The Beast Master? Those are the only shirtless men I know.

    Pulp cover of the week - there's no image.

    Have a lovely day.

    I can relate to just wanting to read and sleep after a long day. Nice relaxing playlist you shared. I don't recognize the funko pop, is it an elf?

    Oh boy do I understand the not feeling like doing anything but reading and sleeping at the end of a long day/week/month/year lol -- it's why I was absent from the blog these past 3-4 months. Oh and I LOVE Journey! Great song. My favorite is their version of Who's Crying Now.

    Have a great week Greg!

    I’m not seeing your complete post Greg. I’m seeing big empty space after lyrics and no pulp fiction cover. Not sure why. Have a great week.

    Cool funk pop! I was hoping things would calm down after the holidays, But still busy as ever. I do hope to take some down time soon. I can't even stay to read more than a few pages of a book before the sound of it hitting the floor wakes me up. LOL

    Bloggin is giving Greg, and sometimes, we don't have anything more to giv and just want to read. That's not bad, that's just life. I hope next week will be easier!

    This weather makes me want to just hibernate quietly as well. Reading and sleeping on these gray days and early dark nights? Totally get it. I hope all is well otherwise!

    Don't blog if you don't want to! This is for fun!

    Aww beautiful character! I think he's one of the dudes from Aquaman, right? I can't place his name though.

    I have no idea about anything music-related, unfortunately. I am particularly unskilled in this area, ha ha!

    It sounds like an exhausting week. Take it easy, ok? Remember to give yourself a break when you need it, there's no shame in that. Look after number 1 first :)

    Have a great week ahead x

    I can relate to the lack of blogging motivation and the desire to just read and call it a day. And I always roll with it. :) Journey was such a powerhouse band. Love them.

  28. YvonneJanuary 8, 2023 at 8:47 AM

    I sure know that feeling. There are times I'd rather just read or watch something and forget about the blog. Sometimes a break is refreshing. Hope you have a great week!

    Miss the pulp cover - no image. There are no rules on blogging - if life gets in the way or you need a break, that's totally okay!!! We all need a break now and then.

    I need to figure out a good balance for blogging/creating videos/editing with life. Sometimes it's nice to not do anything. :)

  34. NorthwomanJanuary 8, 2023 at 3:43 PM

    Yes it was a rough week for many with back to work and out of the holiday break and relaxing. I have more balance all the time but I still almost never get to the tv shows I'd like to watch. I hope this week is better.

    My week was like that too. I had a few blog posts already scheduled going into the week but today is the first day I've felt like blog hopping or writing anything new for the blog. Hoping this week will be better for us both. :)

    I’ve no idea as to the song lyrics, I have pretty narrow musical tastes though.

    I can totally relate about the not blogging part, Greg. It's good to take a short break so our mind is refreshed when the blogging mood is back. Hope you've a great week!

    I know the feeling. I felt that way for quite a while this past fall and early winter. I just didn't want to turn on the computer once I got off work each evening. I hope you have a great week, Greg. Enjoy your reading and don't worry about blogging.
