Don't let life pass you by

Just a quick note, going into the weekend...

Last Saturday made it four years ago that my friend John Wake died. The day passed by without much hullabaloo. And yet, it had been 1,460 days since I saw my dear friend. (For information on Wake, visit http://www.laugholympics.net/, the home of the charity we started.)

Meanwhile, Wake would have liked you to read the lyrics to this Incubus song called, "Warning." (Actually, he would rather you listen to the song, loudly. Pop out 'Morning View' or download it now.)

Warning

Bat your eyes girl

Be otherworldly

Count your blessings

Seduce a stranger

What's so wrong with being happy?

Kudos to those who see through sickness

When she woke in the morning

She knew that her life had passed her by

And she called out a warning

Don't ever let life pass you by

I suggest we learn to love ourselves

Before it's made illegal

When will we learn?

When will we change?

Just in time to see it all fall down

Those left standing will make millions

Writing books on the way it should have been

When she woke in the morning

She knew that her life had passed her by

And she called out a warning

Don't ever let life pass you by

Floating in this cosmic jacuzzi

We are like frogs oblivious

To the water starting to boil

No one flinches

We all float face down

When she woke in the morning

She knew that her life had passed her by

And she called out a warning

Don't ever let life pass you by
