Sloppy Joe

To the tune of Purple Rain by Prince

I never meant to cause you any sorrow
I never meant to cause you any pain
I only wanted to one time see you eating
I only wanted to see you eating a big Sloppy Joe

Sloppy Joe Sloppy Joe
Sloppy Joe Sloppy Joe
Sloppy Joe Sloppy Joe
I only wanted to see you with a big old Sloppy Joe

I never wanted to be your weekend sandwich
I wanted you each day with some kind of fries
Baby I could never choose to eat another
It's such a shame my cholesterol had to rise

Sloppy Joe Sloppy Joe
Sloppy Joe Sloppy Joe
Sloppy Joe Sloppy Joe
I only wanted to see you eating a big Sloppy Joe

Honey I know, I know, I know times are changing
It's time we all reach out for something new
That means you too
You say you’re thinking vegan
But you can't seem to make up your mind
I think you better close it
And let me guide you to a Sloppy Joe

Sloppy Joe Sloppy Joe
Sloppy Joe Sloppy Joe
If you know what I'm singing about up here
C'mon raise your hand
Sloppy Joe Sloppy Joe
I only want to see you, only want to see you
with a Sloppy Joe


Woo, hoo, ooh-ooh-ooh
Woo, hoo, ooh-ooh-ooh
Woo, hoo-ooh
Sloppy Joe-ho,oh-oh-oh-oh

Woo, hoo, ooh-ooh-ooh
Woo, hoo, ooh-ooh-ooh
Woo, hoo-ooh
Slop-py . . .

After eating Sloppy Joe's for dinner the other night, I started messing around singing the Purple Rain chorus using the words, "Sloppy Joe." My youngest daughter picked it right up. It works well. Try the full song! Also, you might try "Brush brush brush, brush brush brush, brush your teeth" to the tune of "Shake Your Booty" by KC and the Sunshine Band. I guess I like to redeem old songs for a slightly higher purpose.

The Monotony of Commuting

I have spent most of the past twelve years commuting at least one hour a day: 30 minutes to work, and usually 40 minutes to return home. I have tried a number of things to avoid monotony, such as taking as many different routes as possible. I may be the only person in the world who uses a GPS to commute home from work because I try new routes and end up in unfamiliar places. To make the most of the commuting time, I have tried a number of things. I have listened to the Bible and prayed, although it seems a little irreverent to interrupt the prayer yelling at someone who has cut me off. I have listened to Christian radio, which means I have heard the song " I Could Only Imagine " over 5,000 times. I have listened to pop radio. I have listened to the music of my youth to somehow re-energize portions of the brain and keep my mind sharp. Sometimes, I switch back and forth between Christian and pop radio, alternating between joy and guilt. I have listened to talk radio and sports ...

My Reflections on My UPS Career on Founders Day

We were given a choice whether or not those of us who were having a milestone service year wanted to speak on Founders Day in our department meeting. Since the one consistent feedback I have gotten during my entire 25-year career at UPS was that I don’t speak up enough in meetings, I thought I would make up for the whole thing here today. No one intends to have a long career at UPS. You come to work at UPS as a temporary thing while you are planning your life. Those plans do not include UPS. We come for the benefits, the tuition assistance, the non-standard hours that don’t interfere with classes or our other real jobs. Parents don’t envision their kids growing up and working for UPS. I think these are just the basic realities of life. I worked the majority of my career in Information Services Learning & Development or Corp HR Learning & Development. I would have never lasted 25 years had I been in Operations. I know exactly how long I would have lasted in Operations had I wo...

How I Spent the Morning of My Birthday? Getting an Oil Change

I am spending my birthday this year getting an oil change. I do not need a TV in the waiting room at the Chrysler dealership while I am waiting for my car to be serviced. I would prefer silence with all of us just sitting here looking at each other every now and then, imagining what the other person's life is like. For example, a woman is sitting across from me who looks like a young Woody Allen and I'm just thinking to myself, “What are the chances on my birthday of seeing a woman who looks like Woody Allen?” Just when I was having doubts about getting an oil change and tire rotation on my birthday, this unexpected gift comes to me. I also do not need the psycho reality TV shows yelling and screaming in the background. I can sit and read a book or write a few paragraphs on my steno pad while I wait. Same thing for the airport. I don't need a TV or laptop or iPad to babysit for me while my flight is delayed. I can use the time to think, to ponder the meaning of li...
