It’s funny how life works. The outside of my journal has a marigold and gold very stylized sun on either cover. I decided to write out lyrics that have to do with the sun on all the rays protruding from it’s face. See if you know who sings some of these…
1. SUNNY DAYS chasing the clouds away…
2. IM GO’NA SOKE UP THE SUN GO’NA TELL EVERYONE TO LIGHTEN UP…
3. I TRY TO LOOK UP TO THE SUN BUT MY EYES BURN…
4. SUNNY, YESTERDAY MY LIFE WAS FILLED WITH RAIN
5. LET THE SUNSHINE, LET THE SUN SHINE IN…
6. I’LL SURF TILL THE SUN SETS BEYOND THE HORIZON…
7. COME TASTE THE SUNSWEET BERRIES OF THE EARTH
8. I AM THE SON & THE HEIR/ I AM THE SUN & THE AIR
9. ON AN ISLAND IN THE SUN WE CAN PLAY AND HAVE SOME FUN
10. FROM THE DAY WE ARRIVE ON THE PLANET AND BLINKING STEP INTO THE SUN…
11. YOU’RE THE ONE YOU’RE THE SUNSHINE
12. MIGHT AS WELL BE WALKING ON THE SUN
13. BLACK HOLE SUN wont’cha come
14. GOOD DAY SUNSHINE….
15. HERE COMES THE SUN…
16. YOU ARE THE SUNSHINE OF MY LIFE…
17. YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE MY ONLY SUNSHINE
18. SUNSHINE ON MY SHOULDER MAKES ME HAPPY…
19. I’M WALKING ON SUNSHINE…
20. SUNSHINE, LOLLYPOPS & RAINBOWS…
I gave my little sun on the front cover the makeup of Death, the neil gainman comic book character, on the back cover Peter, of Kiss. When my sisters and I dressed up as Kiss for Halloween he’s the one I dressed up as. In the inside cover there are three more suns… they will get to be the other member of Kiss. (You know I just love to get off topic.)
N.E.Way…….
I was asking anyone who walked past me for songs that had to do with the sun, the above playlist being what was come up with. One of my favorite Cure songs is called Mint Car…
“the sun is up I’m so happy I could scream!”
It would have the word ‘sun’ in the very first line…
“and there’s nowhere else in the world i’d rather be”
I almost shot myself…
“than here with you it’s perfect, it’s all I ever wanted *oh*”
How could I have forgotten?
“i almost can’t believe that it’s for real”
You can say that again…
“so kiss me quick *ah*”
BRILLANCE HAS STRUCK! BLESS THAT ROBERT SMITH! (He married his high school sweet heart you know!)
Two wonderful thing happened – I got a title for my journal (Mint Car, to be written on the spine.) And something for the first page – I have this lovely habit of never putting anything on the first blank page of my journals because nothing ever seems to be important enough – nothing ever fits just quite right. When I get a new journal it’s hard enough to taint the lovely new pages with my crap! The first page… nothing ever…. NADA! Excuse me I have to go dance around a bit brb….

…better… okay so on the first page I’m going to put the lyrics to Mint Car… the title is so marvelously off in left field, and the lyrics are so brilliantly sunny and lovely.

VOILA!
