If that ain't love then I don't know what love is

After hearing this song, Cupid's Chokehold, approximately five times par jour, I've decided to spend some time meditating on the lyrics. Doing some research, in order to solidify in my mind what I thought I was hearing (but really hoping I wasn't), I found there was more to this upbeat yet sentimental tune than I had, until now, perceived. I've got to admit I feel a little bit emotional every time I hear this song. The emotion being... anger? I think that's that's the closest description of my feelings towards it. Because I hate this song so much I have put together a short list of lines from it that are precisely why I feel this way.

1. Take a look at my girlfriend, she's the only one I got. Not much of a girlfriend, I never seem to get a lot.

Mmm... I thought he was talking about how in love he is and then pulls out secrets of their sex life, or lack there of... maybe not the best maneuver in winning her heart back?

2. We even got a secret handshake

A handshake?! It's for sure a done deal.

3. I love it when she calls my phone, she even got her own ringtone

If that ain't love then I don't know what love is.

4. And we can be on the phone for at least three hours not sayin' one word.

That's relationship building at it's finest... shoot me in the face; Three hours on the phone not even talking? The phone is bad enough as it is, why would you torture yourself for three hours in the first place... not to mention adding silence to the already bad situation. Blah.

5. And when I start to build my future she's the main component.

Holy dependency batman. Get your own life man.

Okay so the worst part is that in the middle of writing this, I was driving my car and this song came on and I actually turned up the volume. Can you believe it. I couldn't. I'm getting totally sucked into pop culture, not to mention my taste in music is apparently diminishing. Yuck.

On a positive note (and possibly redemption?), I bought the new feist album yesterday [the reminder] and I think I might have to follow the trends and post a proposal blog to her. She's amazing. End of story.
