When I wrote todays quote this morning I was suddenly earwormed with a Prince song.
Currently we could talk about the people of Ukraine when we talk about something worth dying for.
This morning I walked up the block to get in my Truck. It was a little chilly and damp.
I thought to myself… “well this sucks!”
I got in and noticed that I have to get gas today.
I thought to myself…. “Fuck! Gas prices are probably near four bucks!”
I caught four red lights right off the bat. I caught a train in Lagrange Park. My truck was shifting hard and running rough.
I thought to myself… “This day is starting off shitty!”
I got into work, turned on the news and there was that building in Kyiv getting bombed. You know the building if you watched the news last night.
I thought about the buildings in my neighborhood and the building I work in.
What if next week we get attacked and these buildings get bombed? What if I’m forced to make Molotov cocktails and protect Riverside from a tank invasion?
The price of gas and waiting for a freight train isn’t so bad after all….
Hell…. I opened my phone this morning to take a picture of the Chalkboard and I find thirty selfies that Hazel took last night when she had my phone.
And suddenly that song triggered in my head again when I thought how much I love that little girl and her brothers….. l would die 4 U!
