Do You Really Want To Live Forever? Forever, Forever Young...

Temperance - Forever Young

Why yes, this is a cover of the Alphaville classic. Now, "Forever Young" has been covered by several people. Sometimes they turn out not too bad, like the version by Temperance, or by Youth Group, or this one by some unknown artist. But then sometimes, they turn out epic, like this version by Bloink 110. I mean, yes, it's clearly terrible, but it makes me really really happy.


Anyhoo.

I don't know if you know how I feel about hipsters, as a group, but if you don't I'll tell you. I hate them. They're evil.

Not each individual hipster, I suppose. But the hipster establishment, for sure. And most hipsters as individuals.

But anyhoo, hipsters=evil. So thanks to Robin for bringing this to my attention. It makes me smile.


Also, I'm on CNN.com, and I see the headline "Are movies good for a first date?" Really? Is that even a question?

Now, I didn't read the article. I'm too busy (ignore the fact that I'm on spring break and doing nothing with my life. I'm a busy bee, I swear...). So I don't know what this woman thinks. But I can tell you what I think (read: know).

Movies are the best ever first date. If your date doesn't think you guys should be all up on each other, well then no worries! There's a movie playing! You don't need to be! But if your date does indeed think that you guys should be all up on each other, well then even better! It's dark! Go ahead! Be all up on me!

Plus, it leads to great conversations: favorite movies (Rocky, The Notebook, Clueless, The Dirty Dozen, in that order), favorite actors (Sly, Johnny Depp, Will Smith, Clint Eastwood, Ryan Gosling), favorite actresses (Laura Linney, Talia Shire, Meryl Streep [sorry Padre], Juliette Binoche, Ingrid Bergman), favorite Girl Scout cookie (peanut butter patty), favorite intial name (TJ), etc.

And then, if you're really looking to be sentimental, and you think you're going to have a future with this person, you can save the ticket stub. That way, years later, you can pull it out, and be all "I always knew..." It'd be adorable. Give me credit.

Thus, greatest first date ever. Don't argue.
