the color QUEEN

lyrics=SWEETNESS!

I know they say you can’t go home again

I just had to come back one last time
Ma’am I know you don’t know me from Adam
But these handprints on the front steps are mine

Up those stairs in that little back bedroom
Is where I did my homework and I learned to play guitar
I bet you didn’t know under that live oak
My favorite dog is buried in the yard

I thought if I could touch this place or feel it
This brokenness inside me might start healing
Out here it’s like I’m someone else
I thought that maybe I could find myself

If I could just come in I swear I’ll leave
Won’t take nothing but a memory
From the house that built me

Mama cut out pictures of houses for years
From Better Homes and Gardens magazine
Plans were drawn and concrete poured
Nail by nail and board by board
Daddy gave life to mama’s dream

I thought if I could touch this place or feel it
This brokenness inside me might start healing
Out here it’s like I’m someone else
I thought that maybe I could find myself

If I could just come in I swear I’ll leave
Won’t take nothing but a memory
From the house that built me

You leave home and you move on and you do the best you can
I got lost in this old world and forgot who I am

I thought if I could touch this place or feel it
This brokenness inside me might start healing
Out here it’s like I’m someone else
I thought that maybe I could find myself

If I could walk around I swear I’ll leave
Won’t take nothing but a memory
From the house that built me

Firstly, Deco ONE Galleria , 3900 N. Miami Avenue, between 7 -9 p.m., where the collective works of Michael Perez, Franck Pala and Emil Bodourov will be on display.  Nick Betancourt is co-hosting the event.

And , of course, my camera plans on CAPTURING and color QUEEN’ing events as they unfold at the Miguel Paredes EXHIBIT.  This function will be held at The Paredes Fine Arts Studio, between 7 – 9 p.m. (cocktail reception provided by Ice Tropez Music provided by DJ Ari X) located at  2311 NW 2nd Ave. Wynwood Arts District Miami fl. 33127.

According to news from USA Today, Kourtney and Kim Kardashian are in the midst of filming for a new spin-off series to be based out of, yep, the BIG APPLE! a.k.a. NYC.   Just like the “Kardashians INVADE MIAMI”, the new series will focus on the opening of their brand new “DASH” boutique.  Sorry KHLOE lovers, she won’t be appearing and will be lagging behind in L.A. with hubby LAMAR, for some tender TLC.  p.s. Kim Kardashian, according to various news outlets, gets paid $10K per tweet.  Gotta love free enterprise and technology!
