Day Eighteen

My journal challenge is now old enough to vote and buy cigarettes .

1. A song you love but rarely listen to

My favorite song is "Iris" by the Goo Goo Dolls, but I can't remember the last time I listened to the whole thing. You may think "Maybe it's not your favorite, then!" or "You probably overplayed it to death". But dear reader, the answer is actually much simpler(dumber) than that.

In "Iris", there is a long, dramatic guitar solo followed by a climactic cacophony or drums. It's really great. However, large chunks of this instrumentalization are left out of the radio version(probably for length's sake). Frankly, the radio version is an insult to the beauty of the full length version. An abomination. And when I went to illegally download the song to put it on my phone, the radio version is what I got.

So, that's why I don't listen to my favorite song. Because the version I have is shit, and I'm too forgetful to go find another one when I have the chance.


2. A problem that you have had

Houston, I have so many problems.

I don't even know what to pick for this one. I'm sure an entertaining problem would be preferred. There are fun car problems. There's my innate Chandler-ness(I'm awkward and desperate for love! I'm not so good at the advice; can I interest you in a sarcastic comment?").

Or there's the problem I have where I can't say the word "abominable" (or spell it, apparently-Thank you, autocorrect!). I mean, literally. Cannot do it. I sort of can if I sound out each syllable, but then it barely sounds like a word anymore.It's ridiculous.
