Okay, I heard a new song from Lady Antebellum, and I thought I was gonna puke. The song said something to the effect of "How 'bout baby we make a promise to not promise anything more than one night. Complicated situations only get worse in the morning light...hey I'm just lookin' for a good time." ..It makes me sick to hear something like that. I mean, sure, I guess if you've established before hand that your relationship means nothing and there's absolutely NO EMOTION or feelings tied to the physical relations you have with someone, that's better than if you just...are in a relationship with someone and then you break up with them telling them none of it ever meant anything. I don't know. It just make me mad to hear songs like this? Does anyone agree? Does the world really look at a relationship as something that's just for fun that doesn't really have a purpose?

In English the other day we were talking about love and what it means. One kid said something like "Well, I personally thing marriage is stupid because all it does is screw up families and relationships like it did with my parents." I felt so bad for this kid because obviously he's had to deal with divorce in his family. I also felt bad for him because with that divorce happening, it's blinded his view of how wonderful marriage can be. Marriage is something that takes commitment and that, yes, does need to be endured rather than just lived sometimes. That doesn't mean its a terrible thing. Media focuses too much on the physical side of relationships and not enough on the true meat. What really keeps a relationship alive. The part where you actually get to know the person you're in a relationship. Where you talk to them and listen to what's happening in their life. Communication is the key to having a good relationship. When someone tells another they love them, does that mean "Oh, I love you, but if we ever disagree on something or you ever do anything to hurt me it's over." Is that what people mean when they say "I love you?" It seems like it to me. Through things we watch in movies and just in seeing relationships with friends and family members. It's like communication doesn't exist. Like if we actually tried to talk something out it would most definitely kill us. I'm not saying communication can cure any broken relationship, but if people would try harder, I promise there would be less problems in broken families and ruined lives from divorce.

There's another song this post makes me think of. A song that's words...just listen.
Last night I got served a little too much of that poison baby
Last night I did things I'm not proud of
And I got a little crazy
Last night I met a guy on the dance floor
And I let him call me baby

And I don't even know his last name
Oh, my mama would be so ashamed
It started off "Hey cutie, where ya from?"
And then it turned in,
"Oh no, what have I done?"
And I don't even know his last name

We left the club right around three o'clock in the morning
His Pinto sitting there in the parking lot Well it should have been a warning
I had no clue what I was getting into
So I blame it on the Cuervo
Oh where did my manners go?

And I don't even know his last name
Oh, my mama would be so ashamed
It started off "Hey cutie, where ya from?"
And then it turned in,
"Oh no, what have I done?"
And I don't even know his last name
Here we go...

Today I woke up thinkin' about Elvis somewhere in Vegas
I'm not sure how I got here
Or how this ring on my left hand just appeared out of nowhere
I gotta go
I take the chips and the Pinto and hit the road
They say what happens here stays here
All of this will disappear
There's just one little problem...

I don't even know my last name
Oh my mama would be so ashamed
It started off "Hey cutie, where ya from?"
And then it turned in,
"Oh no, what have I done?"
And I don't even know my last name

What have I done
What have I done
What have I done
Oh, what have I done
I don't even know my last name

It started off "Hey cutie, where ya from?"
And then it turned into
"Oh no, what have I done?"
And I don't even know my last name

It turned into
"Oh no, what have I done?"
And I don't even know my last name"

Uhh...Yeah. That seems cool to me too. Lets just go get drunk somewhere and get married just like that. It's like marriage doesn't even imply commitment anymore because there's always the option of getting a divorce.

What is love? Is love really just a word people use to get more now days? Is it just a word? Is there nothing attached to it like there used to be? When I think of love, I think of fire. It seems like from the world's perspective, love is a temporal fire that will eventually die down and burn into nothing. The way I see it, love should be an everlasting fire. Like the one Moses saw when he saw the burning bush. A temporal fire burns wood. It consumes it's fuel, whereas the fire on the bush burned bright, but didn't consume the bush or leave baron land. Is this not what we should mean when we tell someone we "love" them?
