That kind of self-centered thinking can make you end up inside a self-generated singularity, like a mental and emotional black hole. And of course, that's the problem! GET YOUR MIND OFF YOURSELF!

Take a look at just the last two songs.  Who doesn't know a few people whose "I's" are way too close together!?!  And the last track is the unacknowledged theme song of every two-faced so-and-so (including a lot of elected folks).  "Please believe me when I say I'll never lie to you!  Please believe me when everything I say is a lie!"

MA-189 - It's Just Me

Well, I ain't lying when I say I hope you'll think these songs worth at least one listen. See you Thursday!
