DON'T JUST DO SOMETHING...BE THERE!
do-do-do...
do the right thing - at the right time
if you do the right thing at any other time
such is not the right thing - it's the wrong thing
do the right thing - in the right place
if you do the right thing in any other place
such is not the right thing - it's the wrong thing
do the right thing with the right people
if you do the right thing with any other people
such is not the right thing - it's just the wrong thing
do the right thing for the right reason
if you do the right thing for any other reason
such is not the right thing - it's...
waitasecond! stop! whoa! hold up!
- I interrupt myself -
And do-do-do...a recantation!
Let me shove every single word back in my mouth -
It's all renounced, retracted, repudiated!
I heard tell thru the grapevine...
we are not human-doings
we are human-BE-ings!
so now let me say: be-be-be
be the right person - the right person be
and you will do the right thing!
if, on the offchance, you be not, not be
the right person...
no way, no how, can you, will you:
show up at the right time
turn up in the right place
hook up with the right people
act up for the right reason -
as it's no breeze to do the right thing
it's much easier to breeze along with the breeze and do the wrong thing...
and there are so many wrong things for the doing
you do not have to do what you have to do...
first & foremost, you have to BE who you need to BE!
the most revolutionary thing you can do
is Be-Be-Be...
Be The Right Person On The Inside
and bet your sweet booty
You Will Do The Right Thing On The Outside!

+++++++Love is loveliest seventh inamorata 'round(Alithia L. S., 2001-2005+++++++
IntriguingTidbits:
~~~saw 'Let My People Come' seven times, LMPC was the sexiest, raunchiest, bawdiest, lustiest, performance art ever staged, period - example: as an audience greeting, the
ensemble cast came out and mingled totally naked! commentary: http://www.furious.com/perfect/adultmusicals.html...
~~~saw seven Guns 'N Roses(original band) shows, because I think Axl Rose is great, tried to catch the new group in Philly in '02, but caught a riot instead...
~~~saw 30 Bob Dylan concerts...
~~~saw Philly's own & best Kenn Kweder(www.kennkweder.com) perform twenty-four times...
~~~saw film 'The Exorcist' fourteen times...
~~~consider 'Showgirls'(a fantastic flick) the most underrated, unacknowledged, unheralded movie of all time - go ahead, ask why..,
~~~favorite book: 'Women Confdential', by Lee Mortimer, pub.1960...
~~~rumors of belonging to the Mafia highly fallacious... whisperings of being a Skull & Bones Society member absolutely not true... reports of surpassing Wilt Chamberlain in sexual conquests significantly premature(as of this date)~~~
~~~presently a reformed poet, cured performance artist, surrendered spiritual seeker, born again Hipster-Bon Vivant-Connoisseur-Boulevardier-Gourmaund~~~
...consummating The Greatest Art Of All On Planet Earth:
CELEBRATION OF LIFE!
...or...
LIFE'S A BITCH - BE IT'S PIMP...
LIVE HAPPILY EVER NOW!
...and...
WHEN LIFE HANDS YOU A LEMON -
SPRINKLE IT OVER LOBSTER!
...moreover, there's the oldie but goodie(updated)...
WHENEVER STUCK WITH A SOW'S ASS -
TURN IT INTO A SILK ROBE!
"Yes, I'm a man of the cloth - silk."
Adam Clayton Powell, circa 1950
...don't settle...
DON'T SETTLE FOR THE SILVER LINING WHEN YOU CAN GET A HOLD OF THE GOLD!
...and maybe best:
IF SIZE MATTERS AND YOU CAN'T SCOOP THE HONEY - LICK THE JAR!
The Cycle Of Circularity
Continues~~~
...EUREKA! - - -
SouthWest Adventure (San Diego, Los Angeles, La Jolla, Vista, San Marcos, Rancho Santa Fe, Escondido, etc., & Las Vegas!) - - -
LEASTEST LIKELY LOTHARIO WITH THE MOSTESS
For overly inquisitive minds who prefer not only Full Disclosure & Total Transparency but Love Life Skinny, too -
Irresistible Bragging Rights: Ketan has had an overly embarassment of riches Hardly likely as it is to believe -nix! believe it!...
As of today, Ketan has had coital interaction with in upwards of, no less than 300, girls/ladies/women...a sexual dynamo...who'd-ever-thunk-it!
And he has irrefutable evidence with a multitudinous number of nude photos!
POF: 6/19/08 Global Coverage Statistics:
Austrian men are the most promiscuous, with 29.3 lifetime sexual partners.
->Paupers next to Ketan :-)
