Day Five

And the hits just keep on comin'.

1. A song that is often stuck in your head
"Jeremy" by Pearl Jam is the worst offender right now. I didn't care for it much at first, but it's grown on me. Probably from being stuck in my head so damn much. (And can you tell I've been on a PJ kick?)

It really is an interesting song, born of the early rash of school shootings in the 90's. What I really like about it is that the singer is directly blaming Jeremy's actions on his negligent parents and the kids that bullied him., from back before all the anti-bullying campaigns really started up. That kind of awareness was still cutting edge at the time and not everyone wanted to hear it. Of course, that "fuck you, here's the truth" sort of thing is what Pearl Jam is all about.

2. Five things you want to say to your ex
To all exes in general:
1. You're a dick.

To El Douche:
2. You're a liar and if I ever had to pick one person in my life to kill, it would hands down be you. You're a disgrace to humanity and your bullshit never seems to catch up to you. I really hope bad things happen to you.

To Mister Clingy:
3. I miss your cat, and every great once in a while I kind of wish we could chill. But only ever a great once in a while.

To the most recent one:
4. Dude, seriously?? Wtf???
5. I wish you would recognize the flaws inherent in your ways of thinking. Like, I know you've been severely neglected throughout your entire life, and you think you'd be happy being alone on every level, but I really think that's a deep seated fear talking and you could overcome that... if you admitted to it first.

On further revision of the original question, it was "5. Things you want to say to your ex" and not "Five things..." but my answer is more entertaining, so we'll keep it.
