All we're missing are the suits.
I wish somebody would say, "Hey, you know, the video for Hoobastank's 'The Reason' really sucks. I mean, it totally doesn't go with the song, 'cos the song's all sweet and stuff but in the video, they're pulling off a jewel heist? WTF, mate."
'Cos then I'd say, "Dude, you're wrong. The video is like an inside joke or something. If I wrote a song like that and I was going to dedicate to my SO, I'd make sure it was really special. Like, to me, if someone dedicated a music video about a jewel heist to me, I'd be stoked and feel all warm inside, 'cos I have a thing for shiny caper flicks. UNDERSTATEMENT ISLAND, POPULATION: ME, OMG. Jewel heists'd be cooler than, like, flowers or rain or shit like that, for me."
Then they'd say, "...But you're not the guy's girlfriend and he's not dedicating the video to you." Then there'd be a slight pause. Then, "You don't even like Hoobastank."
"I like this one song, though."
"And you like the video?"
"No, but I'm just saying that if Hoobastank did dedicate a jewel heist video to me, I would consider it an infinitely more endearing gesture than, like, if they dedicated Blink 182's 'I Miss You' to me."
"..."
"To hell with flowers and rain, y'know?"
"'Kay, I gotta go now."
Shit. Even I think I'm a loser.
