JoJo is tripping! It was December 7, 1976. His girlfriend just broke up with him. But, cuzz was singing away! He was singing Silly Love Songs by Wings, but the only part he uttered was, She said...
JoJo decided to write in his journal...after all, his Youth Pastor told him this was a good thing to do.
December 7, 1976
What a day! Samantha and I have been moving in different directions for some time. I was going to break up with her, but it never seemed to be the right moment. Well, she dropped the hammer on me and cut ties. I am not mad at all. I am disappointed in myself. Samantha was a GREAT girlfriend. Plus, she is seeking God. If I didn't learn anything else today, I was convicted to seek God. I gotta face it, I have been playing a church game. I look real shinny at church, but my heart is not into it. My Quiet time is non-existent. Tonight, I will read from Proverbs, and maybe Psalms.
About that time, the phone rings.
"Hello."
"Hey Big Guy!"
"Cindy, Cindy! What are you doing?"
"Nothing. Just calling to see if you need any cheering up."
"Thanks! I really blew it with Samantha. So, how did you hear about it?"
"JoJo, This is Smallville--news doesn't have a chance to idle here."
They both laughed.
"Cindy, do you really wanna cheer me up"
"That's what I'm calling for, you big goof."
"Let's play your 5 favorite songs game."
"Sure. Oldies or recent?"
"Umm Recent."
"Alternate?"
"Yes."
"You go first, Jo."
"Well, since I have been singing it all night---Silly Love Songs."
"Do you want to wait to the end for comments?"
"Yea."
"Bohemian Rhapsody"
"Play that Funky Music"
"Dream Weaver"
"How many is that, Cindy?"
"Two each."
"50 Ways to Leave Your Lover"
"Ohh, You can speak on that first hand!"
"Hey! You said wait until the end for comments. That was evil, by the way."
Cindy laughed, "Sorry, JoJo! I could not let that one pass by!"
"I would have done the same thing!"
"My third one: Dream On"
"Don't Go Breaking My Heart---and DON'T say anything."
"OK OK! Love Rollercoaster"
"Show Me the Way. Wow! I picked a list that fits my love life!!
"I did not say a word!! My last one...Fooled Around and Fell in Love"
"What game are we playing?'
"Let's tell each other their best choice and worse."
"OK You want me to go first?"
"No, I want to...Don't Go Breaking My Heart is perfect for your day, BUT a Terrible Song!"
"I thought you called to cheer me up." JoJo Laughed and immediately said, " Love Rollercoaster STINKS!!"
"OK Fair. Tough to pick even one that may be decent for you. But, I like Play that Funky Music."
"And I will give you credit....you had several good songs. Your best choice was: Bohemian Rhapsody.
"Why, thank you. Please tell me I cheered you up, even a little."
"A lot actually! Thanks for calling. Hey, I may call you tomorrow, if you don't mind."
"Of course, silly boy. Anytime."
The 2 hung up, and JoJo picked up his Bible and turned to Proverbs.
