Name that tune

Have you ever started the day with a song stuck in your head?  You don't know whether you were dreaming about the song or how that dang song got there, but you can't get it out.  This morning I awoke to "Kick 'em when they're up; kick 'em when they're down."  I remember my thoughts(dreams) this morning and it had nothing to do with street fighting--I'm a pacifist, for heaven's sake but it got me thinking about human nature.  I think we do have a little "street fighting" in us no matter what our moral code says.  "Misery loves company" and if I'm suffering, I want you to suffer too.  I read a book about grief.  The author gave great examples and the one thing I came away with from that book is "It is not all about YOU"--my interpretation...not the author's words and definitely not about the person dealing with the grief itself.  I'm talking about how you feel once you have been "kicked."  It has more to do with how you interpret a situation.  Maybe that grieving person is not so nice to you in the check-out line.  They bite and your tendency is to bite back.  How would you know they just lost their child in an auto accident?  So this book had more to do with dealing with someone who may be grieving (that, or they are just a jerk and you don't need to spend your time arguing with a jerk...again, my interpretation and not the author's words!).

Last night on Dancing with the Stars, the Latin Stallion got "kicked" over his Jive dance number.  I thought he did great but the judges (who have been puffing up his ego) kicked him where it hurt-- his ego.  What's been happening behind the scenes, I have to ask?  This is such a complete turn-around.  Did he hurt the judges egos and now they are lashing back....kick 'em when they're up....kick 'em when they're down.....

I don't know why I have that song in my head.  Maybe one of the dance routines last night was to that song.  All I know is I will be more (hee hee) attuned to those I deal with today and remember, they might not be lashing out at me but a situation that has made them want to KICK someone.
