I have no time today at work, but I would be remiss if I did not address the fact that one year ago tonight, my girlfriend Lauren and I went out on our first date. We saw the Will Smith vehicle Hitch. I did not kiss her that night. I have kissed her since.
So many memories come to mind:
the first night we made love....
the day I met her parents.....
that time she killed that homeless person and we buried him in Central Park....
holding hands in the rain.....A lot of good times.
I don't want to make this into something corny, so I'm just going to close by posting the lyrics to Shania Twain's "Still The One."
"Looks like we made it...."
Alright, fuck that. I will put this to you, we just realized that we do not have "A Song." Maybe this is more of a high school thing, couples having "Their Song." But does anyone have any suggestions?
I was thinking "Whatta Man" by Salt N Pepa. I have a feeling she was not. Any ideas?
Our song is "My Sharona." Don't ask me why.
I've been loving the new Jenny Lewis album, and I think a great couple song
would be "Handle With Care." Keep it mind that if I ever get a girlfriend,
I may need this song back. What? Are you expecting me to make some joke
about how I'll probably never get a girlfriend again? Fuck you.
Definitely consider "My Neck, my back" by Khia. hahaha. Just kidding, my
boy and I like singing it. The video is just too funny. Khia in rollers and
a bathrobe singing about how she wants her crack licked while shes doing
her toes on a lawn chair. Really weird.
Pat, knowing how many points you probably scored when you got Kelly
Clarkson to sign some stuff for Lauren ... maybe "Behind These Hazel Eyes"
or something else from Clarkson's oeuvre.
I have to say, when I think of you and Lauren I think of many fun nights
dancing to 80s music at Joshua Tree. Therefore, I nominate "Love is a
Battlefield" by Pat Benetar.
