Your Body is a Wonderland
(John Mayer)
We got the afternoon
You got this room for two
One thing I’ve left to do
Discover me
Discovering you
One mile to every inch of
Your skin like porcelain
One pair of candy lips and
Your bubblegum tongue
And if you want love
We’ll make it
Swim in a deep sea
Of blankets
Take all your big plans
And break ’em
This is bound to be a while
Your body is a wonderland
Your body is a wonder (I’ll use my hands)
Your body Is a wonderland
Something ’bout the way your hair falls in your face
I love the shape you take when crawling towards the pillowcase
You tell me where to go and
Though I might leave to find it
I’ll never let your head hit the bed
Without my hand behind it
You want love?
We’ll make it
Swim in a deep sea
Of blankets
Take all your big plans
And break ’em
This is…

“In physical sciences, an alternate fact is a true statement that, while appearing to contradict another fact, actually illuminates the subject to greater depth.
For example, is light a particle or a wave?
In political debate, an alternative fact is a statement that, although demonstrably false, is treated as a tribal talisman and acted on as though it were true…”
But what if you have to debate the journalist lying through his teeth and you have no power over the media…what is “alternative facts” then?
OR
What to do when “alternative facts” becomes the truth from your TV because the Universe or “money power” is playing with you and your brain.
Do you get it people? What is “the truth” today and what is the “alternative facts”? And which one is which?
Ask George Soros …
No, I would rather talk to Denzel Washington who said:
“If you don’t read the newspaper, you’re uninformed. If you do read it, you’re misinformed,” the 61-year-old actor recently expressed while promoting his new film Fences.
“What is the long-term effect of too much information? One of the effects is the need to be first, not even to be true anymore. So what responsibility do you all have?,” Denzel asked the reporter.
“To tell the truth. Not just to be first. But to tell the truth. We live in a society now where its just be first, who cares just get it out, we don’t care who it hurts, we don’t care who we destroy, we don’t care if it’s true. Just say it, sell it. Anything you practice, you will get good at, including B.S.”
So, what to do when B.S. is your truth…Can you explain the meaning of “alternative facts” then?
CAN YOU?
Yes, we can! – says Obama as he plays golf.
O, please I am screaming at Universe now. I am sick and tired of this B.S.
And I wish that people wake up and hug their neighbors, bake a cake, share and love this life and refuse to be part of B.S.
And see the truth…then to answer the question: What is the “alternative facts” would be a piece of cake!
Yes, for this post it is all about fillings. However, out there in our real life it is all about feelings.
It is January 20, 2017. and in the USA it is the most important day – Inauguration Day!
Congratulations USA! Donald Trump is officially the 45th U.S. president!
For this special day full of feelings let me make the best chocolate walnut torte with so many fillings that will let you forget
reality and enjoy my chocolate drama. After all isn’t a democracy all about “the chocolates”? If you disagree with me I will respectfully call you “deplorable”.
Just kidding…or not…I am not sure how I feel about people who don’t like chocolate.
The Best Walnut Chocolate Torte 5starcookies
Now, we have work to do. Let’s make it happen.

The Best Walnut Chocolate Torte 5star cookies
Keep mixing the chocolate until you get the following …SEE THE PICTURE BELOW. So, this was your chocolate filling.
Cover whole cake with the yellow walnut filing, add chocolate filling on the top. Decorate more if you wanted…Find the fridge
and keep the best chocolate walnut torte in the fridge for at least 8 hours or longer. ( I usually just leave it overnight.)
