As in this video that YouTube doesn’t allow to be embedded but I think Daily Motion does:
That’s right. Today’s wisdom is brought to you by Mr. Oran “Juice” Jones.
When I was growing up, my mother and I LOVED this song. It was just so cool and so funny and probably so true. (It was 1986, gimme a break, huh?) So let’s see what Mr. Jones has to say for himself:
Tossing and turning another sleepless night
The rain crashes against my window pane
Jumped into my car didn’t drive too far
That moment I knew I would never be the same.
Now here you are begging to me
To give our love another try
Girl I love you and I always will
But darling right now I’ve got to say goodbye
‘Cause
I saw you (and him) walking in the rain
You were holding hands and I’ll never be the same.
POINT #1: As the song continues, you’ll be able to appreciate Mr. Jones’ actions and reactions regarding the alleged incident.
(I saw you)
Hey hey baby how ya doin’ come on in here
(Walking in the rain)
Got some hot chocolate on the stove waiting for you
Listen first things first let me hang up the coat
What a gentleman!
(You were holding hands and I’ll)
Yeah how was your day today
Did you miss me
(Never be the same)
You did? Yeah? I missed you too
I missed you so much I followed you today
Oops, turned stalker
(I saw you)
That’s right now close your mouth
‘Cause you cold busted
(Walking in the rain)
Now just sit down here, sit down here
I’m so upset with you I don’t know what to do
(You were holding hands and I’ll)
You know my first impulse was to run up on you
And do a Rambo
(Never be the same)
I was about to jam you and flat blast both of you
But I didn’t wanna mess up this thirty-seven hundred dollar lynx coat
So instead I chilled — That’s right chilled
See, why can’t we do this in current times? No shootingkilling/stabbing. Just chilling!
I called up the bank and took out every dime.
Than I cancelled all your credit cards…
I stuck you up for every piece of jewelery I ever bought you!
Don’t go lookin’ in that closet ’cause everything you came here with is
packed up and waiting for you in the guest room. What were you
thinking?
You don’t mess with the Juice!
I gave you silk suits, blue diamonds and Gucci handbags.
I gave you things you couldn’t even pronounce!
But now I can’t give you nothing but advice.
Classic lines begin in 3….2….1….
Cause you’re still young, yeah, you’re young.
And you’re gonna find somebody like me one of these days . . .
Until then, you know what you gotta do?
You gotta get on outta here with that alley-cat-coat-wearing,
punch-bucket-shoe-wearing crumbcake I saw you with. Cause you
dismissed!
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I would use these lines.
That’s right, Silly rabbit, tricks are made for kids, don’t you know
that. You without me is like corn flakes without the milk! This is my
world. You’re just a squirrel trying to get a nut! Now get on outta
here. Scat!
Don’t touch that coat…
If this doesn’t make you smile, then I really don’t know what will. And it’s Friday, so I’m all about some smiles.
By the way, do you know what else? I ran three whole miles without stopping this morning. I am well on my way to running my first 5K. My goal is to finish the 5K in 20 minutes. This morning, I did the 3 miles in 25. So I need .1 more mile in 5 less minutes. I can do this!
Last but not least, as the good Reverend Miamishyner is out and abouts and I’m just filling in for her today, let the congregation say:
ROCO!!
Have a great weekend folks!
