You're So Heavy Baby!

The Queen's Arrival at Marseilles, on the 3rd November, 1600 - Peter Paul Rubens (my digital reimagining of the oil painting)

If you've been reading this blog, you know I've been looking at the heavy things, the clutter, I'm carrying around. This also includes extra weight. In Ruben's time, extra weight was a sign of wealth, fertility, even sex appeal. Now, it's a sign that there's been far too many late night snacks. So, in addition to clearing house, literally and figuratively, I've started on a serious exercise program. I'm determined I am not going to carry any excess weight, on any level, into the next decade.

I have two years to meet my goal. Ample time.

If you haven't seen Dreamgirls, check it out. You might not prefer musicals, but I think you'll like it. Jennifer Hudson rocks this film based on the real life Supremes. She literally stole the show. One beef: from all firsthand, secondhand, into infinity accounts, plethora of articles, sources, etc., the Beyonce character is far too nice and undivaish to be an accurate representation of the Supreme Diana. Let a bitch be a bitch.

HEAVY - Dreamgirls

Heavy, Heavy
You got so heavy, baby
Heavy, Heavy
You got so heavy on me

DEENA,
You used to be so light and free
You used to smile just looking at me
Now all you give is jealous hate
Come on bab better lose some weight

CHORUS,
Heavy, Heavy
You got so heavy, baby
Heavy, Heavy
You got so heavy on me

DEENA,
You used to want nothing from me
You used to say "Let's both be free"
You used to dance instead of walk
You never had to talk, talk, talk

CHORUS,
Heavy, Heavy
You got so heavy, baby
Heavy, Heavy
You got so heavy on me
