fruit salad

at the christian science camp i went to every year in junior high, we'd sing this fun song during worship times:

i like banana
i know that mangoes is sweet
i like papayas
papayas? but nothing can beat
that sweeeeet love of god.

well i been walking round in circles five miles an hour.
trying to find my way back to my heavenly father
the world tasted sweet but soon it turned sour
and then i asked him in and i received his power

1..2..3...

then you repeat the whole friggin song.

so i'm sitting at my desk eating my lunch today while running render scripts for my newest client.  today i chose fruit salad as my side dish.  i was thrilled to see huge chunks of juicy glorious papaya.  anytime i eat papaya i sing this song in my head over and over and over and briefly think fondly of my adventures at church camp.  (it's about the only thing i can think of fondly any time i think of my christian upbringing.)

but now when i eat papaya all i think of is kauai and the love shack and you.  and even though things were shitty sometimes, i always think of you fondly, even when i'm angry.

love,

scooter
