I’ve already delved into the subject of the homogenous monogamous monster in a prior past. Having long ago decided that I, after mentally playing with the thought, could not accept a nonmonogamous relationship have not given much thought to the subject.
However, I find myself in a lonely hotel room listening to the romantic love song “All I See” by Kylie Minogue, a worldwide phenomenon barely known in the United States. Her album X (her tenth) had a bonus version featuring those rappers MIMS who dropped off the face of the earth after “This Is Why I’m Hot” played at all the college parties in Spring 2007. During the middle of this oh so pretty love song (the dj’s got me feeling the way i did when i first met you), one of these db’s goes into a rap about cheating on his woman. WTF? And just like that all of these thoughts come flooding back.
and no, i wont stop the cheating some of you are like “damn, he’s a demon” but let me share with y’all the meaning, i mean i’d rather lie with the one i love but i still harbor my own selfish reasons.
well, don’t that just warm your heart? perhaps theyre being honest and i’m the one with the delusions and will end up being cheated on when I hit middle age. are the wives of gene simmons and snoop dogg more in touch with reality than i am by acknowledging that theyre partners have sexual needs but are not upset by it since they know they are the woman he still comes home to. or is it the nice credit card and house and jewelry and children and bragging rights that has them overlooking those unfortunate flaws of their husband? either way, it’s a sick testament to human nature and i’m not particularly a fan.
True Story
In a car with my parents and not-so-little sister when talking about a seventeen year-old girl who drank too much at a family party this weekend…
Mom: I just don’t understand why people get so shit-faced.
Me: I learned my lesson March 2007 when I got so sick I had to leave a bar and ten minutes after I left, Ryan Gosling went to that bar. I have not overdrank since that night.
Sister: Where were Kate and the eight kids that night? Guess you missed your chance with the only Asian member of the Hair Care for Men Club.
Me: Ryan Gosling, you idiot! Ryan Gosling! The Notebook!

If anyone can tell me where I can legally download in the US, and yes, I will pay for it, Girls Aloud’s “The Loving Kind”? I’ve been looking for it for agesss. And, yes, I’m in tears thinking about a whole years without any new Girls Aloud music. Kills me inside after today’s news that one of their members (can’t keep ‘em straight, kill me) is taking time off to pursue acting. Snore.

I’m alright, don’t feel sorry ’cause it’s true – when I’m gone, you realize I’m the best thing to happen to you. You always love me more miles away. Miles Away.Madonna
And while that might be the most relevant breakup song of the moment, I give you, dear readers, my favorite breakup songs of all time.
1) Shit On The Radio.Nelly Furtado (The “I Just Realized How Much Better I Am Than You” Slow Song)
I remember the days when I was so eager to satisfy you and be less than I was to prove I could walk beside you. And now that I’ve flown away, you curse the day I decided to stay true to myself.
2) Brand New Man.Letter Kills (The Happy Dance Song When You Know The Other Person Is Gonna Be Hurt by a New Person)
I can’t complain, I just walked away and took more steps towards being safe. Baby, you just bought yourself a brand new man.
3) Don’t Bother.Shakira (The Sad Song About When They Date Someone Better Than You)
For you, I would give up all I own and move to a communist country, if you came with me of course. And I’d file my nails so they don’t hurt you, lose those pounds, learn about futbol… if it made you stay. But you won’t. But you won’t.
4) I Could Say.Lily Allen (The Song About How Happy You Are Now)
Since you’ve gone, I’ve lost that chip on my shoulder. Since you’ve gone, I feel like I’ve grown older. Now you’re gone, it’s as if the whole wide world is my stage. Now you’ve gone, it’s like I’ve been let out of my cage.
5) Happy Without You.Annie (The Song That Makes You Believe You Are Happy Because It Says That Line Over And Over Again)
And while we’re on the subject, here’s an extra gift:
“Love isn’t supposed to be easy. Easy don’t make you grow, easy doesn’t make you learn, easy doesn’t make you think. I thank God every day for giving me a man whom makes me think.” Madonna on Guy Ritchie, 2004.
