Strumming my Pain with his Fingers.

What came first, the music or the misery? People worry about kids playing with guns or watching violent videos afraid that some sort of culture of violence will take them over. Nobody worries about kids listening to thousands, literally thousands, of songs about heartbreak, rejection, pain, misery, and loss. Did I listen to pop music because I was miserable? Or was I miserable because I listened to pop music?

-High Fidelity

"you didn't love her. you just didn't want to be alone.
Or maybe, maybe she was just good
for your ego. or, or maybe she made you
feel better about your miserable life,
but you didn't love her.
because you don't destroy people you love."
-Grey's Anatomy

Remember when it was only a kiss?

Vulgarity has taken over the innocent kiss in the cinematic world of oversized screens and popping corn. Love isn't a beautiful thing on the glass box set anymore, instead, it's an invasion of space, of privacy, of a once mysterious and sacred thing. You know, there is a reason physical love isn't up and all around your face in public and in social gatherings, it's because its ugly. Horrifying. In a dark room is where ugly and scary should live away from the children and the prude beings. I miss the days where Titanic was a bad movie. I miss the days where I don't know what I see now.

I feel violated. Stop it, Hollywood. It's your fault. Bring back the kiss, please.
