Forever Better

**HA! I mixed two song titles mentioned in this post to come up with something else! Brilliant!**

Allrighty wonderful people out there. This post is going to be strictly MY opinion of the world. Well, at least certain people in the world. If you don't like how I talk about Michael Jackson or Taylor Swift/Joe Jonas or Democrats, then I'm sorry! I am not trying to offend anyone here. ;)

So. First topic is Michael Jackson. I think we all know that he died several days ago, and that was sad. It's sad when anyone dies. But honestly! The media just won't let any of us move on. Turn on the TV? Michael Jackson. Turn on the radio? Michael Jackson. Have a conversation with anyone over the age of 12? Michael Jackson. There have been several reports of people committing suicide BECAUSE of Michael Jackson's death. Look people. M.J. was obviously a huge MUSICAL legend. But let's face it. He was a freak. He was a very messed up man who, yes, was an amazing singer/dancer/performer, but he was NOT an amazing person. People should not be taking their own lives just because someone else died without his choice! When you commit suicide, you are choosing to end your own life. Michael Jackson is believed to have suffered cardiac arrest. I know what that is because my own mom nearly died from it seven years ago. It's your HEART. And you do not control it. But if my mom had died from that, would I kill myself just so I could be with her in heaven? No! I would live the rest of my life to the fullest and hope she smiled down on me. The death of a celebrity is no reason for someone to cause their own death. Believe me, Michael Jackson isn't worth it.


So Blonde, you know how we were talking about the Taylor/Joe thing the other day? (What are they called anyway?! Like there is Niley and Brangelina and all those other famous couples abbreviations...so does that mean that they are called, what, Toe...?) Wow. Anyway, I don't think you can say that Joe is the mean one. I like Taylor Swift, too, but let's face it, she CAN be a bit of a drama queen/brat. All you have to do is listen to her songs. She is ALWAYS the "victim", at least that is how she tells the stories. All of her songs are either about:


a) Her being mad at a guy
b) Her being heartbroken
or
c) Her wanting a guy to notice her.
(and occasionally she will have a song about being happy with a guy.)

In what song has she EVER, EVER apologized?! Um...I don't think there are any. And we all know that "Forever and Always" is about Joe, but it's a pretty harsh song. For example:


Was I out of line?
Did I say something way too honest
Made you run and hide
Like a scared little boy
I looked into your eyes
Thought I knew for a minute
Now I'm not so sure

And I stare at the phone, he still hasn't called

And you feel so low you can't feel nothing at all

And you flashback to when he said forever and always


So, she is the victim here? Apparently so. And that might be true, but she really couldn't have been a perfect angel and the big meanie Joe decided it would be fun to break her heart. Let's take a look at Joe's response to her, called "Much Better."


I get a rep for breaking hearts
Now I'm done with super stars
And all the tears on her guitar
I'm not bitter



They said in an interview and in their lyric book that this song started out as a story about one specific person, but they ended up making it a sort of song for their fans. That's why the rest of the song obviously has nothing to do with Taylor. And also, if you've actually listened to "Much Better" and not just read the words, you will have noticed that it is a very fun, energetic, but sweet song, and Joe does not sound in the least bit angry or as he said, bitter.

To further prove my point that Taylor can be a bit of a, um, brat, let's take a look at some of her other song lyrics.



"Picture To Burn"

State the obvious, I didn't get my perfect fantasy
I realize you love yourself more than you could ever love me
So go and tell your friends that I'm obsessive and crazy
That's fine, I'll tell mine you're gay


Cause I hate that stupid, old pickup truck you never let me drive
You're a redneck heartbreak who's really bad at lying
So watch me strike a match on all my wasted time
As far as I'm concerned, you're just another picture to burn


Yeah...the rest of the song is pretty mean too. But the point is that Taylor obviously takes blows pretty hard, and she tends to blame other people. Ugh there is someone I know who is like that, always the victim, and believe me it's insanely irritating. BUT all I am saying is that we need to take what Taylor says with a grain of salt.

I'm wondering why you said that you "hate" Joe. Why? Because he and Taylor broke up?! I never thought they were a good couple anyway, and it definitely didn't work out. So we can't blame him. A relationship calls for two people to put in equal input, and a breakup needs to be between two people, for whatever reason.

Those are some of my ramblings of the day! I am almost finished, don't worry. ;)

BUT BEFORE I SIGN OFF!

Has everyone heard?! Oh my Jonas! Everyone knows who the Jonas Brothers are, but there are bound to be a few broken hearts this week. Why? Because Kevin Jonas is officially engaged! I am so happy for him and I think it's great that he is willing to make the commitment of marriage to, quote from him, "the most amazing girl in the world." How sweet! Congratulations, Kevin and Danielle!

.....Hopefully she actually loves him and is not simply a) wanting to get filthy rich, FAST or b) suffering from a case of OJD - Obsessive Jonas Disorder. Heh, sorry, a bit of sick humor there! I know she must really love him! :)

Okay, last bit before I go. My video is ALMOST done, hopefully I will be posting it tomorrow. I'm glad that some of you voted! I hope you like it when it's completed! I've worked really hard on it...so if you don't like it then, um, just pretend to.

LOVE LOVE LOVE,

brunette.
