I cannot believe I have never seen this movie. Scent Of a Woman.

The only movie one of my favourite actors of all time ever won an academy award for.

I was fooling around you tube when I stumbled upon these clips.

Here is an important message from our friend, Barney Stinson, about your weekend.

…True Story

During high school and a few years after, I was known to my friends as the professional single guy. I told them I didn’t have a girlfriend BY CHOICE, a total lie.

I wasn’t a social outcast; I used to get invited to parties etc.

I remember at several occasions when the song below, The Raconteurs – Steady as she goes , would  play someone used to go…”where is Blade ? “ .  as if to say the tune reminded them of me.

The first two  lines of this tune are “ Find yourself a girl and settle down, Live a simple life in a quiet town.” It was a running joke for some time.

Boy how things have changed, or not. My friends still ask “where is Blade?”  when this tune comes on.

The context is different now.

The picture above illustrates me what I mean.
The top half represents my high school days, the bottom represents present day.

My point?

Build it and they will come. – Field of dreams

Find yourself a girl, and settle down.
Live a simple life in a quiet town.
Steady as she goes… (steady as she goes)
Steady as she goes… (steady as she goes)
So steady as she goes.

Your friends have a shown a kink in the single life.
You’ve had too much to think, now you need a wife.
Steady as she goes… (steady as she goes)
So steady as she goes… (steady as she goes)

Well, here we go again,
You’ve found yourself a friend that knows you well.
But no matter what you do,
You’ll always feel as though you tripped and fell.
So steady as she goes.

When you have completed what you thought you had to do,
And your blood’s depleted to the point of stable glue,
Then you’ll get along, then you’ll get along.
Steady as she goes… (steady as she goes)
So steady as she goes… (steady as she goes)

Well, here we go again,
You’ve found yourself a friend that knows you well.
But no matter what you do,
You’ll always feel as though you tripped and fell.
So steady as she goes.
Steady as she goes.

Settle for a world, neither up or down.
Sell it to the crowd that is gathered round.
Settle for a girl, neither up or down.
Sell it to the crowd that is gathered round.

So steady as she goes… (steady as she goes)
Steady as she goes… (steady as she goes)
Steady as she goes… (steady as she goes)
So steady as she goes… (steady as she goes)

Steady as she goes, are you steady now?
Steady as she goes, are you steady now?
Steady as she goes, are you steady now?
Steady as she goes, are you steady now?
Steady as she goes.
