WWMD?

I was on my usual hunt for a free Wi-Fi signal and decided to work across the street at the cafe. (What *is* the name of that place?) Anyway, their wireless was down, so I worked offline. Not too bad, as I was jamming to my own music with my headsets on. Anthing to keep me from slitting my wrists over this exceeedingly tedious report for our Combined Federal Campaign application. We’ll skip the chat about that, and focus instead on today’s blog topic:

WWMD?: What Michael Jackson has to say to you about how you should live your life.

LOL. Okay, he’s a freak. But let’s give credit where it’s due with classic Michael music.

WWMD? He'd say, live your life

OFF THE WALL

When the world is on your shoulder
Gotta straighten up your act and boogie down

If you can’t hang with the feeling
Then there ain’t no room for you this part of town
’cause we’re the party people night and day
Livin’ crazy that’s the only way

So tonight gotta leave that nine to five upon the shelf
And just enjoy yourself

Groove, let the madness in the music get to you
Life ain’t so bad at all
If you live it off the wall
Life ain’t so bad at all (live life off the wall)
Live your life off the wall (live it off the wall)

You can shout out all you want to
’cause there ain’t no sin in folks all getting loud
If you take the chance and do it
Then there ain’t no one who’s gonna put you down
’cause we’re the party people night and day
Livin’ crazy that’s the only way

So tonight gotta leave that nine to five upon the shelf
And just enjoy yourself
C’mon and groove, and let the madness in the music get to you
Life ain’t so bad at all
If you live it off the wall
Life ain’t so bad at all (live life off the wall)
Live your life off the wall (live it off the wall)

Do what you want to do
There ain’t no rules it’s up to you (ain’t no rules it’s all up to you)
It’s time to come alive
And party on right through the night (all right)

Gotta hide your inhibitions
Gotta let that fool loose deep inside your soul
Want to see an exhibition
Better do it now before you get to old
’cause we’re the party people night and day
Livin’ crazy that’s the only way

So tonight gotta leave that nine to five upon the shelf and just enjoy yourself
C’mon and groove (yeah) let the madness in the music get to you
Life ain’t so bad at all if you live it off the wall
Life ain’t so bad at all (live life off the wall)
Live your life off the wall (live it off the wall)

[Repeat while singing aloud and dancing in your German living room…or wherever you are.]

Yeah, I have some back-blogging to do about the flight to Frankfurt, seeing Thomas and Daniela, the Film Museum tour (thanks, Herr Martin!), the wannabe pickpocket at the open air market, and even last night's James Blunt concert with Irene. Free tickets rock!

Yeah, yeah, I'll get to it!

Gorgeous weather today (Sat.) in DC – warm and sunny. A bike ride together would have been nice… Hope you are enjoying. KH
