Author's Note:
I'd like to thank every one who reviewed this (all four of you) and i just want to tell you what inspired this.
i wanted to get away from my usual angsty, depressing stuff and write something sort of light and humorous. this is what i came up with.
my basis for this story is the song "The Secret of Life" by Faith Hill (whom i really don't like...just that song.) here are the lyrics:
*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"The Secret of Life"
Couple of guys sittin' around drinking
Down at the Starlite Bar
One of them says you know I've been thinking
Other one says that won't get you too far
He says this is your life and welcome to it
It's just working and drinking and dreams,
Ad on TV says just do it
Hell if I know what that means
The secret of life is a good cup of coffee,
The secret of life is keep your eye on the ball,
The secret of life is a beautiful woman
As Marilyn stares down from the barroom wall.
You and me, just a couple of zeros
Just a couple of down and outs
But movie stars and football heroes,
What've they got to be unhappy about
Yeah so he turns to the bartender,
Sam, what do you think?
What's the key that unlocks that door?
Sam don't say nothin', just wipes off the bar,
And he pours them a couple more
'Cause the secret of life is in Sam's martinis,
The secret of life is in Marilyn's eyes,
The secret of life is in Monday night football,
Rolling Stones records, Mom's apple pie.
Sam looks up from his Sunday paper,
Says boys you're on the wrong track
The secret of life is there ain't no secret,
And you don't get your money back
Hey, the secret of life is getting' up early,
The secret of life is stayin' up late,
The secret of life is to try not to hurry,
But don't wait, don't wait.
The secret of life is a good cup of coffee,
The secret of life is keep your eye on the ball,
The secret of life is to find the right woman,
The secret of life is nothin' at all, oh it's nothin' at all.
The secret of life…
Couple of guys sittin' around drinking
Down at the Starlite Bar
One of them says you know I've been thinking,
Other one says that won't get you too far,
That won't get you too far...
