What would you do if I told a story on you,
\nWould you delete and block me evermore?
\nSo give me your eyes and I\u2019ll write you some words,
\nAnd try not to be a big bore.<\/p>\n

Wish I could get by with a little help from my friends,
\nI\u2019m tryin\u2019 to get a little help from my friends,
\nSurely I can get help from my friends.<\/p>\n

Writing words today when you have some to say,
\nShouldn\u2019t fall on blind eyes that\u2019s for sure.
\nRead \u2018em out loud to draw in a big crowd,
\nIt will amaze \u2018em if they just endure.<\/p>\n

Just a \u201clike\u201d would help from my friends,
\nFollow me if you\u2019re one of my friends,
\nI\u2019m gonna fly with the help of my friends!<\/p>\n

I love to write and it\u2019s plain to see
\nThere is always a topic for me.
\nMy stories are true and it could happen to you
\nAs the subject of one of these.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s how it is when you have friends,
\nThey all help to the very end,
\nI get by with help from my friends<\/p>\n

With A Little HelpFrom My Friends!! Joe Cocker<\/p>\n\n

There is no rhyme nor reason for doing that, but it was just something going around in my head and I had to get it down. Does that happen to you? You wake up in the morning with the verse of a song rolling around in there, and it stays with you all day.<\/p>\n

Of course, there is no song for the verses I wrote, and it was very loosely taken from that famous one by the Beatles back when. I challenge you to go back and read it with that tune in mind. Smiles are free and that should create one.<\/p>\n

Do you consider it interesting the number of random thoughts that enter your mind on a daily basis? Would you be at all surprised that of the estimated 70K or so, you may only be aware of a very small portion consciously.<\/p>\n

Obviously, you don\u2019t consciously think about breathing, or blinking your eyes, swallowing, along with so many other bodily functions. Even scanning your computer screen takes thoughts. Processing all the colors, words, and content on the screen uses more. Are you starting to get the picture?<\/p>\n

So does it seem all that unusual that you might wake up from a dead sleep with a tune running through your mind? By the way, in case you think there are no thoughts while you\u2019re asleep, what about that dream you had? Yup, that counts too.<\/p>\n

Now there has to be someone out there who wants to disagree with this, based on plain ole human nature. A number like 70,000 is hard to handle. One site I looked at put it closer to 600,000. Can you even remotely begin to wrap your mind around that?<\/p>\n

So come on and jump in here. Can I get a little help from my friends? You know who you are, and maybe there\u2019s a few who want to chime in on this that aren\u2019t on my friend list. Cool! Of those 70K or so thoughts runnin\u2019 around in your noggin, share a few here!
