I Am Tired Of Waiting

Usually I go on a tangent and then talk about the song choice but today I'm doing it the other way around. It's Post 16: "A Song That You Used To Love But Now Hate"

Beep Beep Motherfucker

This is the first Beatles song I was ever really aware of thanks to the "Beep Beep Yeah" being used in a radio jingle. The Beatles are great but this song isn't, I have no real memories good or bad associated with this song it's pretty boring and bland which are really the only things a song shouldn't be. If it wasn't for the album appearing as the default image for the video I wouldn't have remembered what album it was off of or if it was even on an album. All that being said I don't really hate this song, I am just indifferent to it iTunes says I have played it 6 times since January 2010. I also never really loved this song either I just enjoyed it a lot, I ended up choosing it because I don't have any strong negative feelings towards anything I have loved including music. Drive My Car just happens to have the largest gaps between how highly I used to think of it in the past and how ambivalent I am to it now. I also couldn't find any lyrics from this one to use as a title.

I can't think of a decent segue to my next topic and I don't want to beat around the bush so I will just come out and say it. I HAVE A GIRLFRIEND AND IT'S AWESOME!!! 
O.K. I'm glad I got that out of the system, I haven't gone and shouted this from the mountaintops and this is the public place I have put this statement out on so far. I am purposefully keeping this on the down low and on a need to know basis since it has always annoyed the hell out of me when others constantly crow about how awesome their significant other is and how theirs is better than yours and if you don't have one then your really up shit creek. Plus it is always fun to see people's reactions when they find out you have kept this kind of information from them. Still I will admit that it's hard not weave in mentions of the fact I have a girlfriend into every single conversation I have, but for the most part I have managed to avoid it, for now.
For some strange reason I find it easier to type out my thoughts and feelings in a semi-public place than it is to tell them to another human being in private so I apologize in advance for the inevitable posts about first world problems and the mundane aspects of relationships, I am almost certain the next post will address the fallacy that is normality, that being said plans were made to be broken.

There Goes Another Love Song, Someones Singing About Me Again

I haven't made a post in four days so this one is going to be double stuffed like an Oreo. In case you haven't seen the bazillion status's on Facebook and Twitter or the T.V. ad's and themed episodes it is Valentines Day. I don't have a problem with Valentines per se as much as I have a problem with how people act on and around Valentines Day. There are three different people when it comes to today and I have a problem with two of them and I am not sure which one is worse.

The first person lives for Valentines day. They have spent today eating heart shaped chocolate and showing everyone the flowers/stuffed animals/overpriced Valentines themed Junk the poor soul who they are dating has gotten them. They have to know what everyone they know is doing to celebrate the most important day of the year when it comes to love. If you say you have no plans you are dead to them and if you do tell them what you and your significant other are doing they will scoff and say if they really loved you or if you really loved them you/they would be doing what I'm doing tonight. If you are single they will ask who your date/valentine is. If you have one be prepared to explain that this person is not your significant other and that's why you didn't get them something with a diamond the size of a turnip. If god forbid you don't have anyone or any plans for today be prepared to spend the next 10-15 feeling guilty and feeling like crawling into a hole and dying because you either prefer not to spend an evening with a person you don't know or like or just simply don't have anyone.

The second person hates Valentines day and all the people who like it. They have spent today ranting and raving about how today is a representation of all that is wrong with society. If you have any plans for tonight you are dead to them. If you try to tell them that you are just making supper for someone because you care about them or have nothing better to do they will tell you about how your just some schmuck who doesn't even know what love is and so on and so forth. If this person does do anything for anyone today they claim to do it "Ironically" or they claim they were forced to by society's social norms The problem I have with these people is that they go out of their way to tell you how much they hate today even if you don't ask. I will admit I used to a part of this group but I have moved away from them and hopefully have more in common with the third group.

The third person is someone who recognizes that there are good and bad things about today. They may celebrate it in some way or the may not. The Man Child is in this group. He and his girlfriend had supper (which I made since it is a Monday and I didn't travel back to P.A.) here they didn't exchange gifts or make a big deal out of anything it was nice and I had no problem with them being here or cooking for them. This year I said I would un-friend anyone who made a big deal out of Valentines day since I don't really care about it. This year it was directed at group one and I think that next year I will be direct at both groups. And yes I realize that this put's me into group two a little bit but I like to think that because it is directed at the people and not the day it is sort of O.K.

If you want a good description of group two check out this Oatmeal comic http://theoatmeal.com/blog/valentines_day. Just like everything Mr. Oats does it is hilarious check it out. Also if you think everything I just wrote is total B.S. let me know so I don't end up actually saying this too someone. I hope today was filled the third type of person and cheap candy
