If having a blog was outlawed, then all outlaws would be bloggers. a fallacy?

i watched the formula 1 today. bahrain something or another. absurd. the two youthful english bbc commentators, both with large mouths and wearing clashing pink shirts, 'we didn't plan it, if we'd have known we surely would have planned differently,' the other commentator, older, in blue, who struggled for airtime. odd, but not really. robert plant shirking an interview on the grid. eric clapton saying hes the biggest fan of formula 1, also on the grid. the crown prince high fiving all around. everyone approaching him casually. the way the bbc would change the lap indicator, the laps done/laps total thing, before the leader crossed the line. the way the pit crews don't forget to put bolts on and as a consequence, wheels stay on. i realise now that all (or enough) that matters in formula 1 happens behind closed doors, the race is a forgone conclusion, a technicality, shorther than you might think it to last too.

So give me a try at describing just how difficult it is
When you kinda love two girls to figure out which one you miss
Stumble away from your stairway with your perfume on my clothes
Well I kinda loved two girls but now I've kinda lost 'em both


avett brothers, theyve taken a long (4 year) crawl, but they have finally and officially cracked my top 10, that of course includes 50. and they're locals!

when you say nothing at all

for some reason i couldn't really think up what to say about 'arms like boulders,' though we don't realise that that is just as significant as saying 'something.' so in other words saying 'nothing' isnt really saying nothing at all.. actually there are a literally a million things about this topic. people levy this charge against seinfeld, that it is a 'show about nothing.' really, how? but i digress, the relationship isn't quite the same. in saying nothing about this song, im really saying so much more. this song has too many disparate parts to make into an inclusive post (something i never accomplish, but strive for nonetheless).

i thought about pointing out how it is a quintessential springsteen song, or rather, more accurately, springsteen-esque; though i soon decided it was most certainly not a quintessential springsteen song, or rather, more accurately, springsteen-esque'.

that was actually the only battle i was having here i realise. a debate over an closed term that is actually open. and an open term that is actually closed.

so what i should have done was to just discuss the quintessential springsteen song and the springsteen-esque, but no one has used the two terms properly over the last thirty years so any attempt would be a botched abortion.

that all being said, what do i really think o fthe song. well i've already told you that.

''and so now---yeah you're looking for sweethearts''-sex
''and you're, you're the kind---but i won't take my body down''-morning after, its not night anymore
''let me tell you---from difference of opinion''-i would not date this girl
''there is a song---yeah there is no snow when you're looking for your answers''--they always change the channel when its on right
''and you're, you're the kind---but i won't take my body down''-oops, he did it again.
''And by the time they get your letter of explanation---Yeah nothing will stop it''-you're too late when you have to explain yourself, he obviously had his mind made up from the first line.(but the song was written post- all this, so he obviously did not have his mind made up.
''And you're, you're the kind to hide your eyes from the sun---You'll have to lay everything down''-bye
