Brand New Day

Day 3 of the same song title but totally different song and artist!  :)
If you think you've heard this song before you may be right.  Apparently it was used for Target.  I don't recognize it but that means nothing!
This song is very fun and upbeat, just what we all need to get through Wednesday!  I really like the simple lyrics that speak of normal, everyday things and yet they speak of a good day that's getting better. 
Tim Myers has some talent but I listened to several of his songs to get an idea of him and they all sound mostly the same.  Like pretty much EXACTLY the same.  "Different lyrics to the same notes" exactly the same.  So while I like "Brand New Day" I think I would tire quickly of hearing the same song for an entire album.  :) 
But this song?  Serves my purposes and is very fun!
Happy Wednesday and day 3 of a brand new day!

Butter someone up

There are two probable origins for this idiom and I think both are equally plausible. The first one is that when you spread butter on bread you are buttering it up like one would do when trying to flatter someone. The second is in ancient India there was a practice of throwing balls of butter at statues to ask for favor, i.e. buttering them up. ( source ) When we use the phrase today we generally mean that extreme flattery is used to gain information or favor. It's not always necessarily a compliment.

Read more here .  Today the phrase carries the meaning that something is cheap or without value if it can be lumped in with other similar or exactly-like things. It's more of an insult than anything.

Life according to van Gogh...sort of

There are two ways of thinking about painting, how not to do it and how to do it; how to do it -- with much drawing and little color; how not to do it -- with much color and little drawing.   Vincent van Gogh in a l etter to Theo van Gogh, April 1882 Life is a little bit like today's quote from van Gogh.  Some of us live life focusing on the drawing - the details - and have very little color.  Others of us go for the color and forsake, to a degree, the drawing - the details.  Unlike painting, according to van Gogh, one is not wrong over the other but somewhere in between the two would be the best I would think.  If you look at some of van Gogh's paintings I feel like you can see where he might have struggled between the "how to do it" and the " how not to do it" (as he admittedly loved color so much but knew he had to focus more on the drawing) and that seems to be reflected in his life as well.  In the end he wasn't able to find the ...
