Day 8: Unlike Bob Geldoff, I Like Mondays

Kickin' off with a reference to a Boomtown Rats song that at the moment I cannot remember how it goes.

I like Mondays, because it's a really cool day. As part of being a member in a support-group-type-fellowship thing, I get to be a kind of adviser to other people in the group. Typically, I get to meet and do some counseling-esque kind of work on Mondays afternoons. Since I have to be up, well I'll just call it earlier, to meet with my council-ee, I come home take a nap, and then go to the USO.

After the USO, I go to the Farmer's Market to meet some friends, talk, maybe grab some breakfast. I guess technically by the time I got to USO and breakfast, it's Tuesday. Maybe I like Mondays, because I spend most of Monday sleeping. If you're reading this Bob, you can use that tip.

Yesterday I'm grateful I got to:
• Eat FIVE servings of fruits and vegetables
• Meditate
• Read TWO chapters from a spiritually enriching book
• Drink FOUR glasses of water

The silicon chip inside her head
Gets switched to overload
And nobody's gonna go to school today
She's going to make them stay at home
And daddy doesn't understand it
He always said she was as good as gold
And he can see no reason
'Cause there are no reasons
What reason do you need to be shown

{Refrain}
Tell me why - I don't like Mondays
Tell me why - I don't like Mondays
Tell me why - I don't like Mondays
I want to shoot
The whole day down


The Telex machine is kept so clean
And it types to a waiting world
And mother feels so shocked
Father's world is rocked
And their thoughts turn to their own little girl
Sweet 16 ain't that peachy keen
No, it ain't so neat to admit defeat
They can see no reasons
'Cause there are no reasons
What reason do you need, oh-h-h

{Refrain}
...Down, down, shoot it all down


And all the playing's stopped in the playground now
She wants to play with her toys a while
And school's out early and soon we'll be learning
And the lesson today is how to die
And then the bullhorn crackles
And the captain tackles
With the problems and the how's and why's
And he can see no reasons
'Cause there are no reasons
What reason do you need to die, die, oh-h-h

And the silicon chip inside her head
Gets switched to overload
Oh, and nobody's gonna go to school today
She's going to make them stay at home
And daddy doesn't understand it
He always said she was as good as gold
And he can see no reason
'Cause there are no reasons
What reason do you need to be shown

{Refrain, with 7 tell me why's}
