A Stupid Song on the Radio

A stupid song on the radio — that I can't seem to get out of my head — is "Grenade" by Bruno Mars.

This stupid song is all about the way Bruno is willing to kill himself to prove he loves the listener.

He would "catch a grenade" ... "jump in front of a train" ... "take a bullet to the brain" ... etc.

Then to top it off he says, "I would die for you baby, but you won't do the same."

Hold on there buddy ... You want me (the listener) to kill myself for you???  And you're saying I'm a bad person if I won't?

Since when does killing yourself help anybody, or prove one's love? 

The Christians love to say that that is what Jesus did, but I still don't get how his death helped anybody.

Bruno, if you're so eager to die for a cause, why don't you put down your microphone and go join the Army?

Now get out of my head!

Owen's Birthday

So far today is off to a good start.  I bot some milk and a delicious sausage, egg + cheese croissant at the corner QuikTrip earlier.  The cold air was not unpleasant, and there were almost no cars on the road, being 5:45 AM on a Sunday.

Today is Owen's birthday, and I think he will like the G.I. Joe action figures I got for him.

I think I will finally burn my latest mix tape (mentioned in my previous post) today.  The title of it is "Muchas Cosas" — which is Spanish for "Many Things."
