Rewind to mid-December, and I am closing at the Blue Dog Coffeehouse. I had been playing a Frank Sinatra CD all day but pretty much drowned it out while running around cleaning up and whatnot. However, once all the customers were gone, it was just me and my mop. I used to love to sing while I mop. I still do but don't find myself in mopping situations as often as I'd like. While I mopped that random December night, the song "My Way" came over the sound system. This is a familiar song to most everyone, but for the first time I got completely swept away in the epic classic that is that song. I mopped the hell out of that floor.
The next day, I run out and buy a best of Sinatra CD and proceed to listen to "My Way" all the time. It is, in fact, my New Year's Resolution. It is the best way I know how to articulate what I'd like to accomplish in 2008. This past Saturday, at a bar playing pool with friends, I paid for the song on the juke box, and being a drunken moron, I sang it loudly with a lot of emphatic gestures. Shock of shocks, I met a boy because of it. HA! Anywho, that's not what is important. Frank Sinatra is the most awesome man to ever live, and I just can't get enough of this song. I still cannot express exactly what it is I get out of this song, but it's a lot.
He's so great.
