Yes, I Do Feel Like A Rhinestone Cowgirl....

Okay.... so my big project was unveiled last week. Suffice it to say that a man openly wept when it was revealed. He had tears in his eyes and said "Now God can rest..." Have you ever heard such a thing?

Anyways, I've been working on this project so hard. And putting myself on the line for my work and my career for better than 7 years. Finally there's a crack in that dag-bern glass ceiling: My boss offered that my next project is one of my own choosing, my own design, and dad-gum-it, I can use it for my doctoral dissertation! Oh, and it's the Chairman's main point of interest right now. Nice.

In honor of hard work, I'll give a momentary shout out to all of you who work hard for your dreams. Lemme tell ya: I JUST SEEN THE MOUNTAINTOP!

Rhinestone Cowboy by Glenn Campbell

I've been walkin' these streets so long
Singin' the same old song
I know every crack in these dirty sidewalks of Broadway
Where hustle's the name of the game
And nice guys get washed away like the snow and the rain
There's been a load of compromisin'
On the road to my horizon
But I'm gonna be where the lights are shinin' on me

Like a rhinestone cowboy
Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo
Like a rhinestone cowboy
Getting cards and letters from people I don't even know
And offers comin' over the phone

Well, I really don't mind the rain
And a smile can hide all the pain
But you're down when you're ridin' the train
that's takin' the long way
And I dream of the things I'll do
With a subway token and a dollar tucked inside my shoe
There'll be a load of compromisin'
On the road to my horizon
But I'm gonna be where the lights are shinin' on me

Like a rhinestone cowboy
Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo
Rhinestone cowboy
Gettin' cards and letters from people I don't even know
And offers comin' over the phone
Like a rhinestone cowboy
Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo

FADE
Like a rhinestone cowboy
Gettin' card and letters from people I don't even know
