Day 20: Your favorite breakup song.

Harry Nilsson was such a wordcraftsman. I doubt anyone could top this soppy Country ballad when it comes to break up songs. Here are the lyrics so you can sing along.

The other day I met a girl named Joy
She said come here,
I'm gonna make you my joy boy
Well, things went good and things went bad
Now everytime I think of Joy
It makes me sad
It makes me... sad
The other day I met a girl named Joy
She said Roy!
I'm gonna make you my joy boy
Well, she took me for a ride
Sort of a joy ride
Now everytime I think of Joy
I get all weird inside
Oh, Joy to the world
Was a beautiful girl
But to me Joy meant only sorrow
Now--if you haven't got an answer
Then you haven't got a question
And if you never had a question
Then you'd never have a problem
But if you never had a problem
Well, everyone would be happy
But if everyone was happy
There'd never be a love song
Joy was a beautiful girl
But to me Joy meant only sorrow
The other day I met a girl named Joy
She said, Come here,
I wanna make you feel all clammy inside
Things went good good and things went bad
Things went good... things went bad
Good, bad, good, bad, good, bad
Joy to the world
Was a beautiful girl
But to me Joy meant only sorrow
Oh, Joy to the world
Was a beautiful girl
But to me Joy meant only sorrow
Joy, I know you're out there
I want you to turn on your radio and listen to my song

I Voted

Aunt Tudi and I voted absentee today while we were downtown in Spartanburg. There was one page on the ballot where Republicans were the only choice. I wrote in my votes for those positions, voting for Boy George, Cadmus Pariah, and a number of other people. I will be damned if I'll vote Republican because I have no other choice. Of course, voting for anything but Republicans in SC is like spitting in the wind, but I'll never give up...never surrender.

Halloween Decor and Fitzgerald's Triskele

We're not doing much for Halloween. Aunt Tudi put these on our front door and that's about it.

( spewwwky )

Near our house, though, the young couple there has gone all out for Halloween. I think their yard looks stupendous.

( moooaahahahahaha! )

After three hours of hard play, Fitzgerald is flat of his back and limp with sleep. I saw my opportunity to take a picture of his Triskele. It's the best I could do. First a pic of how he sleeps, then the close-up of the spiral design on his nipple. Sooooo cute!

( Fitzgerald! )

Did I lie about the Triskele?
