Somebody to Love

I don't know if I've ever liked Queen as much as I do in this video -- check out that row of beers on the piano! So classic. But it was Glee that brought this song to my attention tonight:

Can anybody find me somebody to love?
Each morning I get up I die a little
Can barely stand on my feet
Take a look in the mirror and cry
Lord what you're doing to me
I have spent all my years in believing you
But I just can't get no relief,
Lord!
Somebody, somebody
Can anybody find me somebody to love?

I sure hope so, and this time, how about a happy ending, please?

These last few days have not been easy. I decided to go on a detox diet because I've been feeling a little puffy after spending the summer, or at least part of the summer, drowning my sorrows. Giving up booze hasn't been hard -- even had a reunion with some college guy friends sans beer on Friday night -- but giving up caffeine is a bitch. I've had a headache for days and around 3pm, with 3 hours left in my work day (I stayed late since I was subbing a yoga class at 6:15pm), I gave in and had a cup of caffeinated tea:

I work hard every day of my life
I work till I ache my bones
At the end I take home my hard earned pay all on my own -
I get down on my knees
And I start to pray
Till the tears run down from my eyes
Lord - somebody - somebody
Can anybody find me - somebody to love?

(He works hard)

Like Freddie's, my work has been pretty frustrating lately -- my policy expertise seems to matter very little in the face of politics:

Everyday - I try and I try and I try -
But everybody wants to put me down
They say I'm goin' crazy
They say I got a lot of water in my brain
Got no common sense
I got nobody left to believe
Yeah - yeah yeah yeah

Good thing that job's not my only reason for being. One of my regular Tuesday noon yoga students brought a friend to the class I was subbing tonight and afterward he introduced himself and then said: "I need to get you into my pms -- that was awesome!" Which was too cute. And last week one of my regular students told me that while he was mountain biking he was struggling through a climb and he heard my voice reminding him to exhale fully -- love that the message sometimes follows them outside of class!

Anyway, I'm sleepy. Off to bed for me, and tonight I'm joining Queen in this prayer:

Find me somebody to love
Can anybody find me somebody to love?
