louis, out.

i'm boycotting louis armstrong and, specifically, "what a wonderful world" for the following reasons:

#1: no matter where i am, or who i am with, or what i am doing, or what i am thinking, i always end up in a puddle of snot and tears.

#2: do i need another reason???

louis, i love you. but i am 2 clicks away from deleting said above song from my iTunes and changing the channel absolutely every time "meet joe black" or any other royalty producing (congrats, by the way....that was pretty much a home run from conception, i'm sure) version of it comes across my airways . i'm just not in the mood to have to buy stock in charmin simply because i'm a wimp for your rip-my-heart-out-of-my-chest song which in actuality is astoundingly beautiful but heart-wrenching at the same time.

but had you lived to be 109 years old, i bet we would have been the best of friends. and we would have taken a butt load of pictures together because we have the same dopey over-achieving grin.
