Giving a Song a Second Chance

So, I never liked Outkast, and this song always really annoyed me. But I think that's because I never properly heard the lyrics. I still don't like Outkast's version. I think that they don't do the lyrics justice. I mean, how is a fast song fit for this set of lyrics?

We get together

Oh, we get together

But separate's always better when there's feelings involved

If what they say is "nothing is forever"

Then what makes, then what makes, then what makes

Then what makes, what makes, what makes love the exception

So why oh, why oh, why oh, why oh

Why are we so in denial

When we know we're not happy here?

So when my friend Jeremy introduced me to this version of the song, I was a little skeptical at first. I don't like the song.

But I was won over about thirty seconds into the song. The tempo is right, the mood is right, everything is right about this song.

Also, I've thought about those lyrics that I copied down for this post, and you know what? I think I agree. Love, it doesn't last forever, at least not in the way we'd like it to.

And I'd never have had time to think about those lyrics if it weren't for this cover.

So thanks, Jeremy, for introducing me to something really good.

The Hardest Part of Life

Because large groups are scary, new people are scary, relationships are scary, small groups are a little less scary, talking with people is scary . . . all the things are scary.

But yay for dancing!

My Opinion

Every time I let someone know my opinion when I know they won't like it, and then they don't like it, I feel this way:

If You Come Over

You've probably been greeted by me like this:

Don't take it personal. I say that to everyone.

New Blog

I've converted to Wordpress. It may not last. But I had to have an account for a class, so I figured I'd create my own blog devoted to me and my dancing antics/adventures/stories while I was at it. I will probably still post goal updates and stuff on this blog, but I'll definitely be featuring my other stuff on my Wordpress. It has quite a few great options for posts.

Interested? Here's the link.
