Ob La Di Ob La Da

a story with a moral ...

Desmond has a barrow in the market place
Molly is the singer in a band
Desmond says to Molly "Girl I like your face"
And Molly says this as she takes him by the hand 


Desmond takes a trolley to the jewelry store
Buys a twenty carat golden ring
Takes it back to Molly waiting at the door
And as he gives it to her she begins to sing


In a couple of years they have built a home sweet home
With a couple of kids running in the yard
Of Desmond and Molly Jones


Happy ever after in the market place
Molly lets the children lend a hand
Desmond stays at home and does his pretty face
And in the evening she's a singer in the band


Ob-la-di, Ob-la-da
Life goes on ... Blah


Ob-la-di, Ob-la-da
Life goes on ... Blah

Apologies for the long delay in posting, I just didn't have anything to post up, no pictures due to me having no mood to edit and take photos, and me being a bit sickly these few days, and me being a lazy person in this hot summery weather. Seriously, the weather just makes me want to lie in bed, eat ice cream and sleep all day!

I will post up some awards that some awesome bloggers gave me next time, but this post was random and unexpected because I suddenly felt the desire to try some black/ white photography after seeing some on other people's websites. The photos above I took just now, it's fresh out of the camera. I am in the mood for black and white tonight, maybe it's because it matches the color of the night, the color of thunderstorms and nothingness ... black and white I believe truly showcases color, because you can fill in the colors yourself.

***

The lyrics to this Beatles' song speaks truth to me. Life goes on, even with all the vicissitudes of life, stress, work, heat / humidity ... whatever troubles you have, life goes ON.....

... and so does this blog, the blog goes on. I promise I'll respond to your older comments soon !

  50. I actually know how to play this song on the keyboard!

    OK, that's not exactly the truth. I only know the first and last verses and the chorus but that counts for something. Riiiiiight?

    Anyway, I love the Beatles too.

    I remember before I thought that the Beatles were just a gay band of nothingness but then when I actually heard some of their songs I realized that they were actually really good at their music, and although I’m not a particular fan of music altogether, I think that they were perhaps the best musicians ever.

    Just shows that you shouldn’t judge something before you get to know it.
