Words you can keep

I got my mojo working 

I got my mojo working — a war cry of successful Blues Singers who win the crowd for which they are playing through their musical mastery and charismatic stage presence. If you are ever playing your heart out and women start throwing their panties your stage YOU GOT YOUR MOJO WORKING.

This phrase entered the mainstream through the song I Got My Mojo Working written by Preston “Red” Foster. This song was first performed by Ann Cole but made famous by Muddy Waters.

The word “mojo” is a reference to sympathetic magic used to bend reality to bless or to curse an individual. Musical mastery is one of the most powerful mojos and it can be augmented through the use of roots, amulets, and spell pouches provided by a Root Woman who you have pleased and who favors you.

Mess around and find out.
Lyrics from the song: I Got My Mojo Working

“I got my mojo working, it just don't work on you.
I got my mojo working, but it just don't work on you.
Look out baby,
Gonna circle the blues..”

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
