Going to South Carolina for the weekend, see you all Monday.
Yeasayer – 2080
I can’t sleep when I think about the times we’re living in,
I can’t sleep when I think about the future I was born into,
Outsiders dressed up like Sunday morning,
But with no Berlin wall what the hell you gonna do.
It’s a New Year,
I’m glad to be here
It’s a fresh spring,
So let’s sing.
In 2080
I’ll surely be dead
So don’t look ahead,
Never look ahead.
And the moon shines bright
On the water tonight
So we won’t drown
In the summer sound.
If you find me I’ll be sitting by the water fountain,
Picket signs, letdowns, meltdown it’s Monday morning
But it’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright
It’s alright
Cause in no time, they’ll be gone I guess I’ll still be standing here.

Yeah Yeah we can all grab at the chance and be handsome farmers,
Yeah you can have twenty one sons and be blood when they marry my daughters,
And the pain that we left at the station will stay in a jar behind us.
We can pickle the pain into blue ribbon winners at county contests.
The deportation and jail goes for the immigrant, though usually just the deportation part (unless you are detained before your deportation date). The fine is for the citizen.
Neither do “we.” We don’t even like the same music! My bride and I had our first date at Don Shula’s restaurant in Miami, so maybe our song is the Miami Dolphins’ fight song. If they have one. We got married later on at City Hall in Manhattan. There was no music, only an argument when my cousin, who was the witness, realized he didn’t have legal ID.
If I ever get married I plan to have 3 wedding songs: At Last by Etta James, Ribbon In The Sky and For Once In My Life by Stevie Wonder.
For once in my life I have someone who needs me
Someone I’ve needed so long
For once, unafraid, I can go where life leads me
Somehow I know I’ll be strong
For once I can touch what my heart used to dream of
Long before I knew
Oooh Someone warm like you
Would make my dream come true
Yeah yeah yeah
For once in my life I won’t let sorrow hurt me
Not like it hurt me before
For once, I have something I know won’t desert me
I’m not alone anymore
For once, I can say, this is mine, you can’t take it
As long as I know I have love, I can make it
For once in my life, I have someone who needs me
HE He He Hey yeah
ooh baby ooh baby
For once in my life I won’t let sorrow hurt me
Not like it hurt me before
For once, I have something I know won’t desert me
I’m not alone anymore
For once, I can say, this is mine, you can’t take it
Long as I know I have love, I can make it
For once in my life, I have someone who needs me

Our song was “Wind Beneath My Wings.”
“We don’t have a song”
Neither do “we.” We don’t even like the same music! My bride and I had our first date at Don Shula’s restaurant in Miami, so maybe our song is the Miami Dolphins’ fight song. If they have one.

Oh! I love that song. So pretty, not over the top either.
My new favorite lovey-dovey ditty is:
The Plain White T’s 1234:

Gotta love Babyface 🙂
“Deportation, fine, jail.”
Are you talking about what happens when you marry an illegal immigrant or when you date DIBS?
Deportation and then fine and then jail? Wouldn’t it be the other way around?
