sometimes it snows in april

so you know. i didn't realize i was such a huge prince fan. til i heard he died today. and as soon as i heard, i wanted to listen to every prince song i ever knew. and so i did. and this confuses me, because i might have thought i was more of a david bowie fan than a prince fan and i didn't have this burning desire to listen to any of his songs when he died.

but a little prince fest i had here. and i'm all sad. i suppose quite a lot of people are. appreciating the brilliance.

in other news- i just saw that a little plane crashed just north of me. it creeps me out when i hear little planes crash. even if i shouldn't care anymore. and a whole bunch of local gang members of a gang "cutely" named the "Gett Money Gang" were busted. and it makes me more than a little sad to hear that people who were clever enough to make up that moniker for themselves formed a gang and committed evil and violence and stuff. and yesterday, presidential candidate trump was here yakking his yak and meeting with our prehistoric godwithasmallgwannabe governor. and a state senate candidate, currently a representative, a tool, who is running against another tool in the primary for us senate was outed for using money he shouldn't have used for a family vacation. and even if this takes him down, which it likely won't, the other guy will be no better. and. and. and....

sometimes it snows in april. a sad song, i think you'd have to say.

"sometimes it snows in april
sometimes i feel so bad, so bad,
sometimes i wish that life was never ending,
but all good things, they say, never last.

All good things they say, never last
And love, it isn't love until it's past."

and i don't feel like being nice or even fair today. i'm feeling irritable and grouchy. and sad.

don't worry. i'll be fine by tomorrow. sleep, some time with friends and family coming up. some baseball. some alcohol. some more fighting the good fight with my public school allies. all that will patch me up and prop me back up, as it always does. and so far always has. but for the rest of tonight i'm just going to be sad.

"and love isn't love until it's past."
