The Raggedy Annas™
An Anna idea, is a new idea. Lyrics to the song “The Raggedy Annas™, or maybe “The Sashas™.”
I am...
Inspiration for upcoming song - The Raggedy Annas™ [Draft Thoughts] A real musical adventure?
Judo teaches you worry is a waste of energy. Don't waste energy. I am efficient and I am precise.
Jigoro Kano said judo is a study of techniques with which you may kill if you wish to kill, injure if you wish to injure, subdue if you wish to subdue, and, when attacked, defend yourself.
Judo is a way of life and the fight continues long after you leave the mat.
I'm raggedy from fighting — I don't always know who or what I'm fighting and I don't think that's weak. It's cowardly they won't face me face to face, they hide in the shadows. At least I'm brave enough not to worry about it.
Don't give up. Don't ring the bell — it's the other way around, ring their bell.
Have total faith in yourself and know you need to fight. The world isn't fair and no one said it is. Faith as small as a mustard seed moves mountains — Matthew 17:20 — so mine should be moving a lot. Does yours?
Peace is a weapon too. When you think you've received total peace your defenses drop and all hell and chaos can break loose. My father told me it wasn't him that got me through the hard times. It was me. Because I am a fighter. Be a fighter.
I don't like talking about rising like a phoenix, but I understand it. I like to talk about light. Sharing it, and receiving it.
I've fought for so long I became a little raggedy. But now it's time to transform — pristine and whole, resplendent and vibrant, radiant and polished.
There's always something to learn. Never stop learning. Move forward on a single path. Have knowledge and understanding and seek more wisdom for saying the right things and taking the appropriate actions. I have Buddha to thank for that.
Anna means favor, or grace — God's unmerited favor you can't earn. Anna shows you unmerited favor. Sasha means defender of men. Anna will fight you. Sasha might defend you instead.
Moses prohibited the malicious, unlawful taking of life (Lo tirtzach). Jigoro Kano provided the physical and mental discipline to ensure that a person possesses the immense power of life and death, yet maintains the self-control to only ever deploy it to defend themselves when absolutely necessary.
Candy Cigarettes
An Anna idea, is a new idea. Lyrics to the song “Candy Cigarettes”.
My darling dear
Straight brown hair
Life’s a mess
Candy cigarettes
Blowin’ air without a care
It’s all ok
Your dreams
Come true today
Put on your favorite dress
Why is it such a mess?
My raggedy Anna
You are the best
You can’t be you
I can’t be me
It’s on the line
You clearly see
I make a wish
You understand
You always have the upper hand
People think you’re lesbian
It’s armageddon
All over again
Play, sing and dance
You are my light
You’re out of sight
You asked
To understand
You have no fear
That is why my dear
Without a doubt
You’re what life’s all about
My darling dear
Straight brown hair
You say life’s a mess
Candy cigarettes
Blowin’ air without a care
It’s all ok
Your dreams
Come true today
Kick and punch
Play guitar
Play it loud
You’re going far
You’re a miracle
And superstar
My darling dear
Straight brown hair
Life’s a mess
Candy cigarettes
Blowin’ air without a care
It’s all ok
Your dreams
Come true today
Look up now
You’re going far
You’re my miracle
And superstar
It’s all on the line.
Mindful and calm.
