Laugh through the tears

It can't all be sadness - Prince would hate that. Let's share some joy - and even some silliness. It'll help - it really will.

Nation Too Sad To Fuck Even Though It’s What Prince Would Have Wanted

...sure laughs are good (but tears are more popular wink )

Just somewhere in the middle,
Not too good and not too bad.

I cried only a little to myself in the afternoon while singing SOTT songs to myself in bed - it was IIWYG that broke me.

And 4 The Tears In Your Eyes as well.

Right now, I'm just not thinking about it at all! smile Just getting on with life! smile

Prince was able to get Trump from the tv for a whole day.

99% of my posts are ironic. Maybe this post sides with the other 1%.

Conversation (maybe) if P had met Hugh a few years ago:

P: "That yours?"

HH: "Course its mine. Who's else would it be? I got lots of 'em"

P: (excited) "I'd like to see 'em..."

HH: (offended) "Nah, man!"

There was a welcome moment of levity at today's post-autopsy press conference when Sherriff Olson (bless his heart) confessed he couldn't tell whether Prince was wearing sleepwear or daytime clothes when he was found. lol

Yes, that made me laugh too. lol

I liked Sheriff Olson and I thought he spoke very sensitively and kindly about our Princey.

That made me smile, too. I was sort of surprised that no one asked if he was wearing eyeliner.

I watched the clip of Bryant Gumbel asking P if he would wear his type of shoes; "HELL NAH!!" lol ..Still makes me crack up. His "Morris" voice in songs and interviews was funny too. Our boy had a great sense of humor.

Another point of humor that perhaps only very Old School orgers will appreciate smile ...

If you haven't seen this video, treat yourself. He could throw shade with the best of them.
