For the longest time, I thought it was about her dad leaving her.<br /><br />Proof positive that I'm terrible at understanding lyrics is that I don't think I know all of the lyrics to any of my top ten most listened to songs over the past 5 years. <br /><br />About Romeo and Juliet, I have a ton of thoughts. I have to chuckle every time girls get mushy about it, though. It's really quite a dreadful play, when you get right down to it. I think that's why its a masterpiece. It's supposed to inspire dread. Very cathartic.totustuusmariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08459544262379455570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11075162.post-31061779885903114422009-05-09T21:38:00.000-04:002009-05-09T21:38:00.000-04:00Hey, whatever works.

Actually, I usually write posts in my head in the mornings on the drive to Mass, and by the time I've gotten time to actually write them down in the evening they're nowhere near as good as they were at 7:30am.

Cause I know I am not one, and I write every day, however I think that you are? So what makes a blogger real?

I was working in Dick's Sporting Goods in the hunting department. A song called <A HREF="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CeSLZsV2mhY&feature=related" REL="nofollow">Mr. Mom</A> by Lonestar. It played 7 times a shift. Some nights I would wake up singing it in a cold sweat. After a long recovery (4 years) I am able to listen to the song without cleaning a shotgun with a crazy look on my face.William Purcellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07464896831665851855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11075162.post-5808183575033919332009-05-06T18:36:00.000-04:002009-05-06T18:36:00.000-04:00And Kevin, lest it be thought that I'm neglecting ...And Kevin, lest it be thought that I'm neglecting your response: I think you're just being contrary. :)Claire Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00356741555403954008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11075162.post-16377682129139479072009-05-06T18:20:00.000-04:002009-05-06T18:20:00.000-04:00There is clearly a space between the punctuative d...There is clearly a space between the punctuative dash and your shared initial.

Until I was forced to listen to it all the time. And it never leaves my head. For hours, I have that single verse running through my head. And it's pleasant enough, until I want to rip my head off just to make it stop.<br /><br />At least you can choose to listen to this inanity. And, to be honest, I'll probably hear this song and get all nostalgic a decade from now. I'd just like to not hear it for about three years straight first.Claire Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00356741555403954008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11075162.post-33540944929418109722009-05-06T07:07:00.000-04:002009-05-06T07:07:00.000-04:00I love that song!I love that song!Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11638909905103945267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11075162.post-70049695217118941182009-05-06T01:44:00.000-04:002009-05-06T01:44:00.000-04:00I am unfamiliar with said Claire, however I have a...I am unfamiliar with said Claire, however I have a sickness. Some of my favorite music is "guilty pleasure" music. The kind of stuff that has absolutely no artistic value. The music that eats away at your brain like a Proto-Nazi-Ninja-Zombie.<br />Examples:<br />Wannabe - Spice Girls<br />Believe - Cher<br />Stacey's Mom - Fountains of Wayne<br />Safety Dance - Men Without Hats<br /><br />That is all I am willing to admit right now...William Purcellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07464896831665851855noreply@blogger.com
