Peter's Place to Ponder

Lucky indeed

I was listening to the radio the other day (I know, I know), and I heard a song come on that I thought was absolutely wonderful.  It's a beautiful song about being in love with your best friend (a feeling that I know too well), and it goes like this:

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Lucky we're in love every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday


It was like it was Molly and me singing to each other, but really it was Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat.  I fell in love with the song, and I couldn't wait to get home to look up more about this wonderful couple that seemed to have so much in common with my lady love and me.  (I'll admit, I even planned on trying to get a double date set up with them, because I was sure that they would want to meet us too.)

Well ... did you know that Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat aren't even dating each other?!?  In fact, Colbie is engaged to someone else, and from what I can tell, Jason is gay or something.  So why in the world are they singing a love song to each other?  And putting it on the radio?  What if your boyfriends find out?

I just don't know what this world is coming to.  I don't watch pornography -- hard OR soft (I'm looking at you, Julia Roberts) -- because I don't want to see people engaging in adultery.  So why would I want to listen to Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat engage in adultery on the radio?  It's just ridiculous, and it reminds me how far the standards of the world have sunk.

What kind of names are Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat, anyway?  That's why you should never play Scrabble while drunk.

  • Peter, so good to see you posting again.

    I was worried that after things died down with Molly that maybe you had done something drastic.

    Good to see that you resisted.
