Behind the song...

You know how it is when there is a song stuck in your head?
Well this happened to me last week. This song called "Senorita" by a band named "James". I've known this song for a long long time but last week, after hearing a few verses of the song on tv somehow it got stuck in my head. And of course, my friends had to put up with it since I was sending this song to everyone... Don't you just love youtube sometimes?

The verse that made the song attach itself to my brain was the "I'm addicted to you, you're my love, my senorita" which is a line every woman would love to have someone say it to her. I mean, wouldn't you want someone addicted to yourself? Hmm... I am not really sure... Addictions are rarely (if not never) good. It sure is flattering, having someone live and breathe for you, not able to spend one moment without you... But for how long? Won't it get tiring after some time? I think it would. People need space and time for themselves. Or is it just me?

But even though that verse made a strong first impression to me, the one that got me thinking was one not so "glamorous".
"Don't treat me like a God,
treat me like a dog,
I'll come home to you"
Weird isn't it? You'd think that since he is addicted to her, he'd want her to treat him the same. But no... he wants to be treated like a dog. (Forgive me all you people that adore dogs for what I am about to write, although I am a cat person, I like dogs too.) He wants to be treated like an inferior being, ordered around and have his life controlled by her. And he'll still come back to her. It reminded me of a quote I read in a magazine once (I'll try to translate because it was in greek) "Men are like stamps, the more you spit on them, the more they stick" In greek the phrase "spit on someone" means ignore. You can easily replace men with women in that quote, it wouldn't make a difference. But why? Why is it that we want that which we cannot have? That which needs effort to be conquered? You think I have the answer? Nope, I have no idea. Perhaps it is some primal instinct from the days when we lived in caves that makes us want to hunt for things. Or/and perhaps it's just that the "journey" is worth more than the "destination". I am not making any sense? Yeah I know...

Everyone else is blogging...

...but why should I?
Just randomly talking to a friend in MSN today I noticed next to his name the address of his blog. I had been considering starting a blog but since I was always bad at expressing myself in writing (I still am) I avoided it. Why would anyone want to read what I have to say? And why would people care?

I asked my friend why he made a blog and why would he want to write in it "To type english... display creativity. If I tell a company I speak English, or tell someone I can write about things
I can direct them to my blog. And it's fun to read about other people's opinion" so I thought "Ok he wants to have something to write in his CV" and when I whined that I can't write to save my life he said "All you have to do is read your thoughts". To my question "I am just thinking that everyone is blogging... should I try it too?" he responded "If you feel like you have something to share... Something other people might enjoy reading... Actually, even if nobody gets to read it, you can still do it... Just complain and shit. About how much your work sucks, what your worries are... People might respond. If they agree or better, disagree" But why do I want strangers to read my thoughts and his answer came "Because you want someone to care..." That made me smile.

So here I am, writing my first post thanks to him. Sometimes my friend is so smart. Sometimes he is not. Is this the right decision? Well like he said it's just a innocent thing and if I decided to leave it to this it can always be lost to the vast "sea" the internet is. No one will ever now it existed. And if it turns out well then I'll have one more thing to thank my friend for besides him cheering me up with links of cat videos and his occasional slap when I whine too much.
