Why can't I find a man who, when in public with him, makes people want to throw stuff at us and puke? Why can't I find someone who is equally crazy about me, as I am about them? Everyone wants to be kissed. Everyone wants to have their hand held. Everyone wants to be held really tight. Everyone wants to be told that their cared about, loved, and thought about. I just want to be the best part of someone's day.
Just when I thought that I'd get lucky, being that I'm single and all, I'm finding that there has been an abnormally large amount of couples out and about in public, being extra cute together. Vomit.
Ok, WHO is playing the meanest practical joke on me ....
My whole issue, really, is that I'm 24 ... and single. My plan was to be engaged by 26, married by 27, 28 the absolute latest. Apparently I should just stop making plans for my own personal life. If I haven't learned yet that NOTHING goes according to plan, then I really need to wake up and smell the coffee. The only coffee I smell is old, stale coffee. Of course. I know God's got my plan all set up for me ... I'm just impatient.
On the flip side ...
My iPod decided to resurrect today. (It was dead for about 2 weeks ... nothing I did would bring it back to life.) It's a miracle. Really, it is. I put that thing on shuffle so fast that it almost made MY head spin. Now normally, I HATE listening to my iPod's choice of shuffled songs. It has a terrible talent of shuffling. I can definitely tell you my iPod's favorite bands ... Red Hot Chili Peppers, Motion City Soundtrack, U2, Spearhead, Beulah, Dashboard Confessional, and John Mayer ... because those are the only bands that it will play on shuffle, give or take one or two. Don't get my wrong, those are all amazing artists, but come on, red iPod, you're killin' em.
I can't fully complain, though. A song came on that I honestly had forgotten about. (I'm almost embarrassed to say that.) I intently listened to the lyrics and was mesmerized, all over again. Have you ever heard a song, and that that EXACT moment, every single lyric makes sense to you, or whatever situation you're going through? That's what happened. It was an epiphany. Bono, you're so genius.
The song was 'Walk On' by U2. Youtube it, and look up the lyrics if you can't sing along. This song fits me PERFECTLY right now. There are no better words to describe what I'm going though and how I'm trying to deal with it all. Thanks, Bono and friends.
The moral of the story? Fall in love with a significant other (good luck finding one first), and rekindle a flame with a long lost song. I encourage you to dig up your favorite song from a long, long time ago. Music has a funny way of fixing stuff that seems almost too broken to even put any effort into. Just you wait....
Oh, and I STILL can not stop listening to MGMT. If you have not listened to them yet, (I'm disappointed) you absolutely MUST. I recommend "Kids", "The Youth", "Time To Pretend" and "Electric Feel".
What you've got, they can't deny it. Can't sell it or buy it. Walk on. Walk on.
Stay safe tonight.
