wine and cheese party
November 2009 
Sarah McLachlin paired with Los Lonely Boys
Doug
U Want Me 2
Sarah McLachlin
You walk on by
Clueless and so high
Following your aimless path away from us
You're so far away
And what can I say
Cause I can't be the one you wanted me to be
So tell me how do you feel
It's so confusing
If you let it all go, it'll fall apart
Do you want me to stay and say I still want you
You want me too, don't you?
So what are we saying
Our eden's a failure
A made-up story to fit the picture-perfect world
The one with "I do"s
and I love you
And we are made for each other
Is forever over now?
And tell me how do you feel
It's so confusing
If you let it all go, it'll fall apart
Do you want me to stay and say I still want you
You want me too, don't you?
I hope there's forgiveness
In the distance between us
Can we make what lies ahead of us a better place to be?
So tell me, how do you feel
It's so confusing
If you let it all go, it'll fall ---
Do you want me to stay and say I still want you
You want me too, don't you?
Forgiven
Staying With Me
Los Lonely Boys

[ Los Lonely Boys Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
dont be afraid (dont be afraid)
i just wanna know (just wanna know)
if your staying with me
WOAH dont go running away like you have before OOOO all your wildest dreams are just beyond the door
*chorus*

i just wanna know (just wanna know)
if your staying with me
are you staying with me
stay with me baby
stay with me babe
stay with me baby

So this is like a wine and cheese party where you pair up a fine wine with a delicious cheese. So my pick of the day is a Sarah McLachlin (very fine wine!) with a Los Lonely Boys (scrumptious!) . But together …. Is this Heaven?
Anyway what’s your pairing?
Access: Public
These are not very changy songs ,no Bowie , or Otis Redding , but beautiful words and music nonetheless ,hello wine and hello cheese
Doug,
I've joined the fun and put out some wine and cheese over at my place I'm Joining the Wine and Cheese Party… Won't You? I hope others join. Have a great day!
Hugs!
-Susan
Mmmm, very delicious nibbles of cheese this morning….and wine….a little early….but let us raise our glasses and toast Change! (As someone once said, it's one of the only certain things in this Universe.) Hurray for our new president! Hurray for new possibilities!
I cant say Ive ever been at a wine and cheese party this early in the day - lol - but what the heck! Plenty to celebrate to be sure. Im so filled with hope and the chance for real change that I can hardly contain myself! Im smiling from ear to ear. Life is good…it will be hard work but I believe that Obama can be the change that we need. God Bless you Obama and God bless us all….all over the world!
I am honored by your invite…the paradign shift has occurred…here's to all of us!
love,
Aley
Thanks for the invite! I just woke up a little while ago, and I haven't finished my first cuppa yet, so it's a little early for me to think of wine and cheese pairings, or any other kind of pairings. However, I'm here to celebrate with you. Here's to CHANGE!
Lovely party, Doug! Enjoyed the vids, and wine and cheese are always a good way to celebrate! I especially like a nice sage derby and a plummy cabernet.
Oh, wait! I'm more alert now! I'm bringing a bottle of champagne to the celebration.
Whoo Hoo!!! Because I am on a road trip and had to leave yesterday after the voting and waiting for the election results in an unfamiliar place I am so grateful to come home to Gaia and see you all here CELEBRATING!!! I am still out of town, but definitely plugged into the energies of the VICTORY that is catapulting us into a new space and a higher vibration! Let us ride this to the Highest heights that will benefit the entire globe!!!
Love to us all!
Starseed
thanks for the invitation!! wine and cheese are both out of question for me this morning, but I'm having some celebratory eggs and orange juice. :-)
and I love sarah and los lonely boys!! thanks!!
Hey Doug,
Thank you for inviting me to your wine and cheese party. I brought some bottled water and some chocolate squares to share. :)
Yes we can change and we are the change.
Love to US ALL
LeAnn
Thanks for the invite… I want to post it over in Dreams of Artists as YES WE CAN and this is to toast in a new day and new adventure of life. Know ourselves and we know life.
Please stop by Deb's FEATURE OF THE MONTH which I am moderating and go to the bottom and wish her success and fun.
Cheers to a new beginning,Kathy
Hi all and thank you so much for stopping by to celebrate!
It felt to me like a huge shift occurred last night and yes it was Obama’s night but it was our night too.
Imagine what this Thanksgiving will be like contrasted with Thanksgiving 2001.
“Nonviolence is the answer to the crucial political and moral questions of our time: the need for man to overcome oppression and
violence without resorting to oppression and violence. Man must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge,
aggression and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love.”
Martin Luther King, Jr., Nobel Prize acceptance speech, Stockholm, Sweden, December 11, 1964.
K, nuff of the sober moment, here's some more music per request. Party on!
just the fact alone that our wonderful citizens of this country chose this amazing human being to lead us into a new age, is proof that hope is still alive and well…and that America is waking up to it's own potential…may we all join in and do our part to make this leg of our journey all that it can be…and more…joy*
rock on doug and all…party, party, party…
Alluvja threw this into the cheese. Yes we can..:-)
I brought some sun dried tomato crackers for the cheese and wine.
Great music, great company, great drinks and cheeses. Thank you for the invitation and this is a great party Doug. Your artworks are great also adorning the walls. Now maybe you can do some poetry reading of your new poems.
To add an international touch of class I've brought a couple of bottles of Australias finest red… 2005 Lone Cart Cabernet Sauvignon… Enjoy
Movin on…
did somebody say party?…Oh mercy me!!! I had some of Samme's sun dried tomato crackers - they really taste as good as they look! and thanks for the water & chocolate squares LeAnn:) - David Bowie & Bette Midler at the same party!! Oh yes, this is my kind of party…I know you're expecting more wine from me…but I don't drink alcohol…so here's some natural soda…and pie:) Oh YEAH Rock ON!!! oops I'm already listening:) CRANK THIS UP!!!! That's right I'm dancing all around my office!!! LOL

Hi all! Just popping into this room and enjoying all the music and food and fun and celebration. It’s so nice to see old friends and some new faces! One of the songs from the movie Coach Carter has been going through my head so I thought I’d share that tune and here are the lyrics.
Heck, I know it’s not a wine pairing and it’s kind of funny to start in the stuffy wine room and end up dancing in the streets and I’m lovin it!!!
Hi Loves, I'm late again but I've been riding on that magic star striped carpet all day but I can tell you folks it's been worth it because I brought some
great old friends to this fantastic party that goes way beyond the cheese into the wine of change as I see it . I bet you folks gonna like these friends of mine, and they're going to perform here specially for you. They were there way before people started dancing in the streets because they knows what was going on and things had too change even when it was a long time coming. So enjoy friends, pay these old folks some respect, ride the song out, the longer you listen the better it gets.
ooooh….what a smashing party……….so sorry I am late………whew! I almost didn't make it……..but I had to come out and celebrate with you, Doug…..because you dance divinely……..
(Love your picks, Doug. You sure know how to throw a great party. woo hoo….wine and cheese and mmm memorable music…)
So thanks for throwing this get-together….already, I feel alright…
Let's dance…………………………………….and in the end, may I once again stand at the beginning with all of you…..
Thanks for inviting me through Dreams Doug…
What a great day to celebrate.
I am bringing yams to barbeque from my garden picked fresh from my garden today. That with melted cheese tastes very natural. I like your you tubes….
Nice thread… Lee :-)
hello and thanks for the invitation doug!
I am celebrating our new President Barack Obama. My family and friends are beyond excited and hopeful! Wow!!!
I know it's a weeee bit late … but I hope there are still a few folks here to join me in my offerings.
I am bringing this special vintage wine from 1979 and believe me it is sultry, rich, expressive and perfect for feeling the emotions surrounding this incredible VICTORY!!!!
and now bringing in da cheez … here ya go - have a slice of Etta!!!! Aged, bluesy, spicy and a whole lotta HOT!!!!
I think the next 4 years are just a start … 8 FULL years …. will bring all of our offerings to further maturity and much more cha-cha-change!!!
Beautiful messages during these times of change. I have had some stressful days becasue of college aps and what not, but coming here calms and soothes me, thanks for the party invite.
Cabernet Savignon and brie! And a toast for change. (not spare change, but big change). Cheers everyone!
Entire world joins in and expect more changes for the future.
Thank you, Doug, for the invite. Here's the wine (Diana Ross & The Boss 1981 - I'm Coming Out) and cheese (Muse - Feeling Good) and another wine (Corona - Rhythm of the Night)
The celebration continues. Am ecstatic and dancing non-stop!

and i'm feeling good
dragonflies out in the sun
you know what I mean, don't you know
butterflies all having fun
you know what I mean
sleep in peace when the day is done
it's an old world, it's a new world
it's a bold world
for me
stars when you shine

oh freedom is mine
and i know how i feel

I'm Coming Out
Diana Ross
I'm coming out
I'm coming
I'm coming out
I'm coming out
I'm coming out
I'm coming out
I'm coming out
I want the world to know
Got to let it show
I'm coming out
I want the world to know
I got to let it show
There's a new me coming out
And I just had to live
And I wanna give
I'm completely positive
I think this time around
I am gonna do it
Like you never do it
Like you never knew it
Ooh, I'll make it through
The time has come for me
To break out of the shell
I have to shout
That I'm coming out
I'm coming out
I want the world to know
Got to let it show
I'm coming out
I want the world to know
I got to let it show
I'm coming out
I want the world to know
Got to let it show
I'm coming out
I want the world to know
I got to let it show
I've got to show the world
All that I wanna be
And all my billities
Ther's so much more to me
Somehow, I have to make them
Just understand
I got it well in hand
And, oh, how I've planned
I'm spreadin' love
There's no need to fear
And I just feel so glad
Everytime I hear:
I'm coming out
I want the world to know
Got to let it show
I'm coming out
I want the world to know
I got to let it show
Thanks for the invite… and the day was one for celebration! The songs where good too… I had never heard either one before… Great stuff…
I raise my coffee… Cheer!
(Staggering in late fot the party….blowing crumpled party horn)
Change! Positive change. Obama surely cannot change our national situation by himself. Bad times are not over and probably will get worse. He will face resistance and a worsening economy. We have a great opportunity to support him and keep him focused. This is our chance to show what we are made of. This is our chance to shine. We have a real chance to be the change!
Hi Everybody, Thanks for the invitation, Doug.. I was risking my life and drivers licence to be here on time, but, Like usually I am late, however I read all comments and I am excited to see so many happy people. Cheers to everyone who sees the big picture!
Sorry to be so late. The truth is—I was buzzed as hell from the fact that Obama won. Just one drop of wine would have pushed me over the edge! But now, I can have some…. Can someone hand me a glass? I prefer red…
Thanks!
Pouring a glass for you, Lisa!
This was so wonderful, is wonderful! Thank you all so much!
BB Ooooweee that wine went right to my … well almost to my head but it stopped right under my sternum! She reminds me a little of Tori Amos. I’m in love!
Susan #1 Big hugs to you too((())).
Hi Kathy Ah this wine is special though so you can drink it throughout the day and spill it everywhere you go and you dream this wine and I hear you and you’re spilling this wine and don’t you wish everyone did? Ah that’s tomorrow’s story.
Ah Julia! Do I need to tell you to loosen up? Lol! Not a chance! You are the wine, heck we are the wine, all of us!
Cheers Aley!
Hey PS Anything goes K? Cup-o, wine, water, whipped cream, strawberries, sailboats, sassafras.. Glad you came to the party!
Hi Janet, so a plumy cabernet eh? And what’s that you’re wearing these days?
I’ll have to tell you about the night of the Moon Jellies sometime.
PS you woke up and brought Mr. Zimmerman, the tambourine man his-self! Cool!
Starseed! Amen and A-Women and A-everything!
Synonym for Light Sheesh I just got that! Duh Doug! Well it’s a wonderful name and my favorite time of day, the beginning, even if I have to stay up all night to wait for it!
Abundantlife, need I say more?
You are!
We all are!
~KES, TY for what you do, for who you are, for the gifts you freely bestow!
Starlight starbright the first star I see tonight, I wish I may I wish I might…
(Insert wish here ___________) Poof!
And so it is
Pure magic.
FastDart, You’re quick dude! I’ve heard of spiking the wine or spiking the electric cool-aid but yes we can try, Nah! As Yoda said there is no try, there is only do and YES WE ARE DOING IT!
Hi Samme! Thanks for bringing the roughage, bless the holy colon! Lol!
It’s all poetry, every word I’m hearing cuz it’s coming from the place where poetry is born.
Hi Andrew. Whoa are you…….
The Yoda?
Well never mind that is quite a fine wine you’re sharing! TY and so nice to meet you!
Elisa………….. Wait…… Not so fast you just got here. You could at least stay long enough to dance K?
;-)
Hello Aki, so nice to meet you and there is no alcohol in the wine, hey it’s virtual! And it has all the complexity of the finest of wines. But that’s not saying you can’t get drunk and be so totally awake, aware at the same time.
“can we actually be as beautiful
as the land on which we live?”
Here’s looking at you kid.
Resurrected1 and 2 and 3 and 501 and 10,000,000… OMG you’re spreading like a wildfire and I’m in that dream with ya!
Hi Maornot, It’s nice to meet you and just wondering if that was the French version of a beautiful day. Well it sounded like English but it sure looked like French. Lol!
TY for stopping by and sharing!
Alluvja! You’re right on time. FastDart already spiked the cheese with your offering and we were all just waiting for you to tell us what it was we ingested?
Hey Organics! Wow that sounds so good! Yams with melted cheese! I’m there dude!
Peri, you’re never late, just fashionably on time always! Love you dear friend!
Hey Branden! Welcome to the party and welcome to Gaia. Those inner arts are what it all about.
It’s ThePixellator! Hello you, nice to meet you and that sounds like a fine pairing indeed! Could you please pour me a taste and slather some Brie on the sun dried tomato crackers that Samme brought?
Hello Sanmugan, ordinary becomes extraordinary, YES. Well unless you prefer irony and then it’s NO embraced within the beautiful.
Mila, Nice to meet you and I’m dancing in the room with you to the wonderful tunes you brought!
Hi Jeff and welcome. There's a fresh pot of really strong coffee so help yourself.
Hey George, Nice to meet you and you're so right this is our chance to be the change. Well the truth is everyday is our chance.
Joanna! Ah, you've been on time at least once I know and you're right on time here always.
Hi Morning-Star, Yes both! Glad you buzzed in.
Here's more music to dance to and you can find my Obama Playlist in my profile page as well.
Dancing In The Streets by Martha Reeves and the Vandellas
Dancing In The Streets by David Bowie and Mick Jagger
Dancing On The Ceiling by Lionel Richie
All Night Long by Lionel Richie
Keep dancing on the ceiling, on the roof, on the streets, wherever.
These are the best of times!!!
Thank you for the invite! I've been so tired and still am! Can't think! But maybe I can snooze on a beanbag in the corner while everybody parties…
Hey Emma, nice to see you. Emma…Emma???? Dreamland OK…
(Turns to dance partner) So, what was I saying Amy?
thanks for the lift to the party, what a pal you are. perhaps you could share the classy ride i was graced with?
what a nice party here, so glad i finally arrived. missed you in my brief, and needed, hiatus, doug.
bless!
You're welcome M&M! So glad you could make it. Hmm I'm not sure the horse and carriage will fit through the door?
I was gone for a while as well taking a rest, empting my pockets out to closely examine all the treasures I had gathered up and taking the quiet time needed to hold them in my hands and turn them over for a while to understand why I had gathered them to begin with and what meaning they held for me for tomorrow.
Tomorrow I give them away.
TY, I missed you too.
I TOTALLY missed the wine and cheese party! Oh well, I'm feeling the need of a midnight snack at 9:30pm so I never do anything according to the rules! I'm thinking pepperoni sticks and pepper jack cheese… I'll skip on the wine and have myself some orange Cool-ade instead! How's that for a tummy ache and nightmares?
Hugz and Smiles!
