Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

[docbrite]

I've decided my "well-meaning" commenter from yesterday was actually Elton John. He didn't get the reaction he wanted from his "tough love" for Billy Joel in Rolling Stone, so he decided to bug me instead. With a sense of entitlement befitting a diva, he continued to comment and even promised me an e-mail after being politely told to go away, so

I would also be concerned that the joy of parenthood had *aleady* worn off. Or maybe David is possessive and won't let Elton play with the baby because he *just* got it off to sleep.
"FINE! I'm off to troll DocBrite's journal then! See if I CARE!"

[docbrite]

That's it! Only I think he's bitchy from lack of sleep and taking it out on me. (That was the excuse my mom made for Drew Brees when he lost us a Saints game right after his new baby was born. Except I don't think she said "bitchy.")

He could've also been peeved because interior design students from SCAD kept coming to the condo building he's got a residence in to do site analysis research and didn't know or care that he lived there. :p (SCAD's my school and he really does have a condo here in Atlanta. There's purdy pitchers in Architectural Digest, along with his digs in Paris and whatnot.)

Seals, most likely.

And like I said on Twitter, I'm betting he was just mad that you were the gayer man.

BUT I DON'T LIKE SEALS

*rots faster to avoid being eaten by seals*

Or you could throw yourself at a polar bear before you die. "Hey, Polar Bear! Play with your food!"

P.S. You know who could write a good "Death of Doc" scene for you? Harlan. *flashes on his essay "The Day I Died"*

[unsee1ie]

I clicked through here from twitter because i was *terrified* that you were breaking the news that Elton.. s'cuze me, Sir Elton had died. ERP!
I'm really freaking sorry to read and find that it's not that news, but it's not good, either.
Take care, Doc!
Also - the Bill O'Reilly meme generator might be good for some kicks; key in things like "Billy Joel left me on an icefloe; You Can't Explain That!"

Better to be trolled by Elton John than Jim Dandy from Black Oak Arkansas. Just saying.

Also I think you're incredibly strong and have had to brave a number of things that would make a weaker man crumble. We're all human too. The fact that you have shared your battles shows strength right there. There's no telling how many people you have made feel better by showing them they aren't alone if they are having to endure some of life's berserkers.

Not an ass-kisser, nor actually a "fan", but rather a fellow New Orleanian, gardening, food, and cat lover. I like reading the City through your eyes when you are inclined to write about it.
